Pill Pack/Blister Pack/Bubble Pack

Pill Pack/Blister Pack/Bubble Pack

Posted on October 12, 2021October 12, 2021Author TaylorPosted in Food, Health and Beauty, Products, Places & ReviewsLeave a Reply

If you’ve never heard of pill pack, blister pack, or bubble packs before that’s okay. I had to look up what they were called so I could write about them. These are the packets that many pills come in. Some of them seem like straight metal/aluminum. Some are an obvious mix of a metal and…

RETHINK: Clips

Posted on September 12, 2021September 12, 2021Author TaylorPosted in Health and Beauty, ReusableLeave a Reply

Easy and helpful Rethink: Jumbo binder clips, chip clips and a random clothes pin to air dry reusable menstrual pads. Then those can all be reused for their original purposes at a later date. Honestly, I’m still working on being 100% comfortable normalizing talk and publishing images about menstrual equity and menstruation topics, but I…

A 100 Day WOOL& Dress Challenge

The company, Wool& offers a 100-Day Challenge for you to wear one of their wool dresses for 100 days in a row. The minimalism and natural fiber intrigued me. The article’s mention of support for women…

Lotion Tubes

Posted on May 16, 2021May 16, 2021Author TaylorPosted in Health and Beauty, RecyclingLeave a Reply

Empty lotion tubes and bottles (without the pump) can be recycled. Make sure they are empty so you don’t contaminate the recycling stream. If you can’t get all the lotion out and/or are worried cutting the tube open may cause the pieces to jam the sorting machines, then put the tube in the trash. Check…

Cotton Is Not Always Cotton

Cotton Is Not Always Cotton

Posted on April 28, 2021April 28, 2021Author TaylorPosted in Composting, Health and BeautyLeave a Reply

We received a new set of prescriptions for the dogs this week. Our vet uses a mail service, which is super convenient but comes with padding in the bottles to cushion the tablets. I want to share a reminder, or a heads up if it’s new to you, that “cotton” is not always cotton and…

Grove Collaborative: Subscription Review

Posted on April 18, 2021April 18, 2021Author TaylorPosted in Health and Beauty, Products, Places & ReviewsLeave a Reply

I purchased the items in these pictures myself and these opinions are my own. Grove Co. is a company that ships healthier home and beauty options to your door. It sells a lot of the “green” names you recognize or hear about in zero waste articles and blogs. The company seems defaulted to the subscription…

I want to share what I do for dry shampoo. We were on a boil water notice here in Austin last week until yesterday so I was relying heavily on my dry shampoo with all the winter head gear. I get major oily hat hair with anything I put on my head which is why…

I wanted to share a few jewelry-themed ideas with you all. I was in an anklet mood this summer. Instead of buying a new anklet, I used a 18″ chain that I wrapped twice around my ankle and threaded both strands through a charm. It works great! This way I can reuse both pieces for…

*03.18.21 the word “feminine” was removed from this post and as much social media as I could without affecting post dates and comments, and replaced with “menstrual,” to allow for gender neutrality. This post goes with Reusable Menstrual Products. Please check out that post if you’re ready to make longer lasting changes. If plastic inside…
