She continued: "I thought, I need some dry shampoo and some toothpaste and I thought because of that video, I looked that little bit harder.
"I got vegan and cruelty free toothpaste and dry shampoo. So none of that preachy 'oh we have to do this and this', I'm not down for that but tiny little changes like that make a massive difference if we all do it.
"So, yeah, proud of myself."
Captioning the video she wrote: "Small acts by us all make a massive difference in the long run," with three green love hearts.

Trolls commented on one of Gemma's seriously impressive workout videos, writing: "Her bloke will cheat on her if she stops training," while another comment read: "Is this all to keep Gorka?"
Gemma replied: "We seem to have gone back a few decades.
"Note to anyone starting with training/health regime. Doing it for anyone other than yourself is a setup for failure. "Do it for YOU. YOU deserve to feel YOUR best. Shut out the noise and crack on."
