I’ve had two sets of coins from other countries to rehome this month, a few from Canada that I after-the-fact recalled were from my in-laws and a few from Africa for a neighbor of mine that isn’t online. Both went very quickly and had several interests. I have no plans to go to these countries…
I’m posted candles in my local Buy Nothing group. I’m helping a neighbor downsize and they had all these candles… Luckily I checked the list at Austin Creative Reuse and they Do Not accept candles. I imagine they get so many because there are a lot of people that end up in this situation. I…

There are plastic jars at @naturalgrocers if you want something smaller, and lighter, but they are plastic. My grocery store doesn’t have anything…
The mascara search continues. I can’t find a safe mascara that doesn’t contain palm oil. There are few clean mascaras, even fewer clean ones listed in the Environmental Working Group Cleaning Living app, those aren’t that clean and/or they have plans oil in them which is a major cause of forest destruction.

You may come across MMIP for People, MMIW for Women, MMIR for Relatives, or MMIW2S for Two Spirit.

I had the best of intentions when I started out with a dry erase board for my husband’s job. Sometimes he needs to plan out what he’s working on so I created a whiteboard since that is what he uses at work. Read RETHINK: Dry Erase Boards & Picture Frames. I first found these Pilot…
