Eco friendly shower gel? Uk

I'm trying to make my bath/shower routine more sustainable. I've already made changes like refillable deodorant, Lush lotions and scrubbees, using up what I already have etc

I'm trying to find a better brand for shower gels rather than Dove or Nivea. I've tried Lush shower gels but I find them too runny and I don't like the smells

Does anyone have any suggestions? Preferably something I can find in Boots or at least somewhere in person, I don't really like shopping online

Any advice would be really helpful

I'm in a really tricky place atm. I'm really stressed out and I have little to no support, my therapist is on holiday for a while, my gp has no appointments till September, I don't want to bother my family and my boyfriend doesn't know how to help and also lives quite far away

I relapsed and I'm quite upset about it. I really want to get better and not do it anymore but things got so stressful and I didn't know what to do. I have a crisis number for my mh team but when I've called them before they have been quite nasty and unhelpful

The wounds are also deep, not deep enough for me to go to hospital but deep enough that it's stressing me out and I don't know how to care for them

What do I do?

Perfume recs to find my signature perfume?

I only started getting into perfumes earlier this year and I'm on the hunt to find my favourite. I'm quite sensitive to smells, I like milky gourmand or fruity scents that arent cloying or overpowering. I'd also like to explore some skin scents and I'd love to find a pure cat musk

I'm not a big fan of pink pepper, powder or marshmallow scents, I bought a dupe for Kayali yum boujee marshmallow and absolutely hated it

So far on my list to try is
- Juliette has a gun not a perfume
- D'annam mooncake
- Dedcool Taunt
-Lush turmeric latte
- Le monde gourmand fraise fouette

Any recs would be much appreciated!

Posh chocolate shower gel too runny?

Earlier this year I heard posh chocolate in the shower gel version was being discontinued in the Uk. I've always wanted to try it so I rushed to my nearest store and bought the very last one they had. Its a massive 590g one (and it cost me £30 😭)

I tried to use it for the first time today and it's so liquidy it's impossible to use. It also stained my bath and barely lathered up. Is there anything I can do to salvage it? I spent a lot of money on it and I don't want the whole thing to go to waste

Help with a more eco friendly diet

I'm trying to be more eco friendly, I've already swapped a lot of toiletries to less plastic and better brands, even refillable stuff. What I really struggle with is the diet. I have arfid (an eating disorder that isn't to do with weight, more about anxiety around food).

I eat pretty plant-based anyways because of it but my main safe foods are crisps, freezer foods and the only meat I can eat comfortably is beef. I've already looked into crisps with recyclable packaging but what else can I do to help? Eating whole foods and preparing foods is a massive struggle for me.

I also don't want to stop eating meat entirely, so help with how often and if I should get it from butchers or not would be really helpful.

Is this achievable?

I really want to have honey blonde highlights for the summer, but my hair is damaged and has black box dye and pink (and for months I would go through a cycle of using dye remover and then another colour). I would go to a salon anyways, i know if I tried to do it myself I would fry my hair off

I last dyed my hair December 2025. I've been growing out my roots as much as I can and I also want to keep the length if possible
