I have a fairly extensive routine (using all Parrotfish products) and still keep my everything showers around 10-15 minutes max. After I'm done with my shampoo, conditioner, exfoliant, body soap, and face wash – my steamer is just about finished, acting as an hourglass to let you know your shower has come to an end.

We all know how important it is to take care of ourselves. But sometimes, it can be hard to find the time to relax and recharge. One of the best ways to do this is by skipping the tub and turning your shower into a spa. 

A shower steamer is a bath bomb for your shower, releasing aroma as it's activated by water. Simply place your steamer in the shower where you're sure water will hit it, and let it do its thing.

My husband tried Parrotfish's Rosemary Apple Cider bar to wash his hair, face, and body. He immediately fell in love – claiming this product as his new favorite hair and skin product. Because of his love of this 3-in-1 bar, he brought it to his squadron. Now, his entire unit is hooked.

What my roommates have to say about the least, and most annoying sustainable switch, I have subjected them to. 

Transitioning to a zero-waste lifestyle can be difficult. It requires purchasing new items you're not used to, giving up old habits and creating new ones. Take it one day at a time. Tackle one plastic item and then move on to the next. 

One of the easiest plastic-free swaps for me to transition to was a shampoo bar, and if you have ever used bar soap in your life, lathering your hands with shampoo will not be much different.
