I love love the quality of your vids!!! It just shows how much you love your work and you does not half-assed your job as youtubers. Keep up the good work! Pretty sure you'll gain more subscribers later on.
Gracie C. Thank you! That really means the world. I am so very passionate about this and you watching and leaving your kind comment makes all the work worth it! Much love
The background music is very inspiring and makes me want to "prep"! You should sell prep/storing music cd. It really gets me groovin! Thanks for the tips!
I love these ideas! Last year I was a junior and I was on/ am on a weight loss journey. I lost 40 lbs the healthy way (exercising and eating smart) and I mostly did it through meal prep! Every Sunday I would prep my breakfasts for school. I would make muffins(healthy with oat flour; typically pumpkin :)), hard boiled eggs, and I would bring an orange and some almonds :) I would take leftovers from dinner for lunch at school, and I would have small meals through the day. It really shows that you don't need to have a huge meal prep, but that even just making one meal can put you on the road for success :)
Thank you so much for the great content. I have been using mason jars for a long time but this video drove me to order a jar funnel and a chopper thing that was in the beginning. Thanks again!
I so love your meal prep videos! I'm very happy there was such a good response to them, that your doing more. I want to eat healthly and I am trying to change my lifestyle to be healthier and make healthier choices. But like most people I either don't exactly know how to incorporate good foods to make them taste good or lack creativity especially in coming up with them. So your book will be a great tool for me as well as your meal prep videos. I really love that you take typically getting foods and remake are well. So keep on do'in what your do'in... I personally love it! Thanks😀
HappyHomeHappyWife thank you so much! I am so so glad you're finding the videos useful! I really think the book will help too :) I will absolutely keep making the content, I appreciate you being excited about it! Much love
I just LOVE how easy you make it! I definitely don't have time for complicated!!! I can't wait to start meal prepping for the hubby and I, oh and yes he will be helping, LOL!!! I've wanted to start meal preps for the a while now, but after this video... uhhh...yeah, this SUNDAY for sure!! Thank you for this video!!
+Hilda Carmona My pleasure! I'm glad you're feeling excited about it! Meal prepping seriously makes a huge difference for me each week, even if I just do a little! And ABSOLUTELY get your boy to help! You shouldn't have to do it alone! :) Thank you for watching!!
Excellent! This is very much how I do it; the relaxed approach. I don't prep each individual meal ahead of time...(except for maybe half a week's lunches) The recipes looked delicious. Love your use of the mason jars and quick snappy editing. Salt & pepper yin yang, LOL.
***** Absolutely! You have to do what is going to help YOU succeed or there's no point! Thanks so much for watching and always leaving such awesome comments :) The salt & pep yin yang is here to stay!! lol
nessounessy :) Thank you so much for that! I really appreciate you noticing the improvements and consistency. I look back at older videos and feel proud of how far we've come, and it's because of you watching that I feel so inspired! Thank you!
In my case I plan to start make breakfasts like overnight oats or boiled eggs or breakfast muffins etc for my friend but he gets to work over 30min before I do so I gotta plan it accordingly where it's prepped or made the day before and put in the fridge when I get there til he eats it the next morning. These vids are super useful.
Love this meal prep,so much better then eating the same old thing everyday,it really sets you up for failure when you have no excitement going on with your taste buds I was definately loving the food choices you had to, you had a real nice variety of everything,can't wait to try this!Funny how a container can make food more appealing,nice trick!
+TheDreamadiva :) Thank you! That's the idea, to help people see that you don't have to make things so INTENSE to successfully meal prep! You can make it suit your own lifestyle! :) Much love!
I love re-watching your video's.. it helps too see, if I missed anything. I did that pro prep I call it, know I just prep as I go. and I'm like you. I don't like eating the same thing for days. I like variety. save the broccoli stalks for soup..
melissa salisbury Thank you! YES! That's the beauty of video, they're always here to come back to :) So glad you find them useful! More meal prep to come!
Thank you!! That salmon is so tasty!! A nice way to make protein interesting :) and the trail mix is so good- adding the popcorn helps to add volume without extra fat and calories!! 💜 thank you!
Just came across your channel from Fablunch & I absolutely love you! Keep up the great work. The work you put into your videos is clear and appreciated :)
I really appreciate how much effort you put into these videos. You are essentially one of the people that are heavily influencing my healthy lifestyle. Thank you so much for all you do. P.S: for strawberries, to get the most out of it, you can poke a straw through the strawberry for the bottom to remove the leaves :)
1024specialkay Thank you!! I appreciate that so very much. We are loving creating this content and you watching and finding it useful makes it all worth it. I have tried the strawberry straw hack and failed a few times, I need to get it down lol!
Your meal prep videos always leave me amazed. Please do more! It keeps me motivated and inspired. Thank you for sharing. P.S. Great quality videos. I can see there's a lot of editing involved.
Anca Fernaga thank you so much! I will definitely do more of these :) We spend a lot of time filming and editing as we want to provide quality content, and I appreciate you taking the time to watch!! Much love
I take some quinoa and ground turkey and make a filling and make stuffed bell peppers so good sometimes I make mini ones if I just want a light lunch or dinner or snack even
dranger2010 Yes! I LOVE trail mix but it's generally has a lot of fat and calories, so I put popcorn in mine to add volume without extra calories and fat! :) I hope you enjoy!
Mind Over Munch oh my!!! I have only used it once and I'm in love! I feel like Oprah! Next Christmas I'll be all: "and you get a chopper, and YOU get a chopper!!!"
awesome video! so simple yet so cute and creative. i really love these videos and your recipes. cant wait to try the chia pudding in your past few videos!
Love it!! Sorry been out of commission sore throat and cold :( I will surely do this meal prep next week... This week it's all about teas and soups for me *sigh*!! Thank you for sharing :)
btw, You can easily cut more of the broccoli end, just peel the sides clean and cut them in smaller pieces, when u cook them they taste really great! :)
I see you've switched to mason jars almost exclusively. Way to go! It looks awesome... I really just want to tuck in! My own meal prep is limited to planning the meals and getting all ingredients, I just chop it when I need it. That works for me :)
Judith van der Leek That's awesome! Yes we all have to find the right prep to suit our own lifestyles and preferences! So glad you've found what works!
I do use plastic containers in some meal prep episodes! It doesn't matter really, just depends on your preference. I like how the jars look and they fit will in my fridge! I don't personally have a food saver and I haven't ever used one! It looks like a cool kitchen tool, though! :)
+Cassie Mckee I'd like to know the shelf time for most this stuff actually I've found I can't prep fruits more than a day or so in advance or they get all slimy :/ guess it's time to google since I'm meal planning to save money no buying ebooks for me haha.
I was curious about this too and bought 3 glass jars with metal lids you can screw on (they can be used to make preservatives as well) to compare to the plastic bags/boxes I normally use; plastic makes veggies and fruits soft and soggy within a day, maybe two, whereas I have some bell peppers leftover in the glass jars that I sliced a week ago (last Saturday) and they're still firm and crisp! Definitely makes a difference.
I wish! Each of these meal prep videos takes about 8 hours to film and 6 hours to edit lol, but I will try to do them more often! Hopefully 1 every 4-6 weeks!! :) thank you so much for your support and for watching!!
Is your meal prep book available as ebook only? I'm not a fan of ebooks because I always end up forgetting about them. But I'd buy a hard copy! Love your recipes!!!! Keep them coming!
+Mommy Runs with Scissors Thank you! I wish it was hard copy but unfortunately I can't afford to produce a hardcover book right now, maybe one day! I did design the book to be print friendly though, so many people print it out for themselves :)
I need to get some mason jars! I'm trying the turkey meatloaf balls tomorrow :) Also, the aesthetic quality of this video was fantastic! Kudos to you and Christian.
Thank you so much!! You can store on regular plastic storage containers too, I just think the mason jars are so dang cute :) I hope you enjoy the meatloaf muffins!!! 💜
+LiLa LaSchnee I usually prep for 4-5 days at a time, if I can cover most of the week days I'm more successful :) I store everything in the fridge, unless it's something I won't eat in time and then I freeze it :) My eBook discusses in detail :) mindovermunch.com/ebooks Cheers!
I get them on Amazon! Target also had them but online is sometimes a bit cheaper!! The carrot snack segment was quick- I just cut them into small stocks! :)
Im watching from Sweden and we don't have mason jars so I need to do the shopping on amazon... cause we don't have the same measuring system as you do so i would appreciate if you wrote in the video somewhere when you're containing the food, what size you use to store the prepped food :) Thank you for a great channel!
I have a variety of different mason jars, and I don't really pay attention to which sizes I use for each recipe! I have 4 oz., 8 oz., and 16 oz. jars - but you can really use any size and any kind of storage containers that you have available to contain the food! (it doesn't have to be mason jars) hope this helps! So glad you're enjoying the channel :)
Well, it is another year...2016 !!! I began browsing through your Mind Over Munch videos from last summer and stumbled upon this one just now.. This one for some reason is my favorite. Walked over 5 miles today and over 10,000 steps n burned 454 cals. I meal prepped for 3 days only this week. I want to buy your ebook soon so I can learn the right ways to prep. How would I go about buying it when I need it?
+Tracy C :) Thank you!! That is fantastic! Congrats on starting the year off so strong! My meal prep eBook is available at mindovermunch.com/ebooks :) Today's meal prep video gives a discount code if you're interested
Does all of this food last in your fridge for the whole week? I'm scared of my food spoiling before the 7 days ends which why I haven't done meal preps before. Is there any advice you have on making sure things don't spoil?
lifeofshilpa Hi there! it's kind of an investment, but there are mason jar vacuum sealers that you can purchase that suck the air out of the jars, making fruits and veggies last over a week! You can find them on Amazon!
lifeofshilpa I usually prep for 4-5 days at a time :) My Meal Prep eBook at mindovermunch.com/ebooks gives info on how to store and freeze food to prevent spoilage :)
Monica L freezer :) I just add a bit of milk and sometimes protein powder or nut butter and it's ready to go! The yellow vegetable was yellow summer squash :)
I've been struggling in my fit life journey (working too much and not focusing on nutrition = miserable) and this really just lit a spark! This is a big help, thank you! P.S. Where did you get the cute little mason jars that you put the fruit in?
love4realz That's awesome! I am so so glad you're feeling inspired! I got the jars on amazon, they're 4oz size, but I actually got those purple lids at either walmart or target, I can't remember! They have a whole mason jar section with goodies like the funnel and different colored lids and stuff! :)
I'm 12 y/o and very fit but meal prep sounds like a very healthy life style! Id like to start small and just meal prep lunches for the weekend. (I'm also a girl) Do you think I should?! I do love to cook😀
+Alexandria Rojas For soy sauce I usually use low sodium, but braggs liquid aminos is a great sub! I have a few crock pot and stir fry recipes, but I'll do more :) Thank you! Check these out in the meantime! ua-cam.com/video/YmIat1Wz9WM/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/iJM5bauUAk8/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/j4nVTncDYxU/v-deo.html
+Mind Over Munch Great video! It's very informative and helps a great deal to keep me focused on my journey! Do you, by chance, have a recipe or a video on how you made your shashimi? I've been dying to try it out!
1carissa6 Thank you!! I LOVE sashimi! The great thing about it, though, is it doesn't really need a recipe! The sashimi itself is the uncooked fish- salmon and yellowfin tuna are great choices! Buy good quality for the best sashimi. Slice your fish into pieces, and you can drizzle with a little olive oil, soy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds if you'd like! It's delicious and doesn't need much :) Cheers!
Oh I will. I am so thankful for your videos, so informative and extreme helpful.. now I have a better sense of how to go about prepping. Again thank you.
In general, using airtight storage containers keeps food fresher for longer. But you can use glass airtight containers (like jars) or plastic storage containers! I just find that jars can be easier to clean, easy to fit in my fridge, and I try to limit my use of plastic when I can.
I love love the quality of your vids!!! It just shows how much you love your work and you does not half-assed your job as youtubers. Keep up the good work! Pretty sure you'll gain more subscribers later on.
Gracie C. Thank you! That really means the world. I am so very passionate about this and you watching and leaving your kind comment makes all the work worth it! Much love
hummus jars were my fav! that is the perfect way to portion, definitely doing that!
in love with your mason jars! your fridge must look so organized lol

Lisa Chirayath

You're a rockstar!!! What a great idea on the salmon! And the trail mix?? Uh... Yes, please!
Thank you!! That salmon is so tasty!! A nice way to make protein interesting :) and the trail mix is so good- adding the popcorn helps to add volume without extra fat and calories!! 💜 thank you!
I absolutely love this channel. Thanks for putting good and helpful information out there!

How do you make the yin and yang out of salt and pepper? It's so cool
Diana Lee lol! It's a little meticulous... I use a toothpick! :)
Just came across your channel from Fablunch & I absolutely love you! Keep up the great work. The work you put into your videos is clear and appreciated :)
So many awesome meal prep ideas that I haven't seen before, that trail mix looks so good!! Awesome ideas :)
LifeWithCass Thank you!! Yeah the trail mix is so tasty! Adding the popcorn ups the volume without extra calories and fat! :)
I really appreciate how much effort you put into these videos. You are essentially one of the people that are heavily influencing my healthy lifestyle. Thank you so much for all you do.
P.S: for strawberries, to get the most out of it, you can poke a straw through the strawberry for the bottom to remove the leaves :)
1024specialkay Thank you!! I appreciate that so very much. We are loving creating this content and you watching and finding it useful makes it all worth it. I have tried the strawberry straw hack and failed a few times, I need to get it down lol!

i just stumbled upon your channel while looking for "foodsaver recipes" u should get one to vacuum seal all the jars u make =)
ttc
Thank you for the great ideas! The music is awesome btw.
+Samuel Son thanks!!!
I love meal prepping, it makes it so much easier to eat fruit and veg if it's already chopped.
+Katelyn Marsh I totally agree!!
I loved this!! It would be fantastic if u could do this for a paleo lifestyle. Pleeeez....thanks in advance!!!
+MzLisaD1 thanks for the suggestion :) Glad you enjoyed!
i have never seen this veggie cutter, i will look for it ! Looove from Brazil s2
Your meal prep videos always leave me amazed. Please do more! It keeps me motivated and inspired. Thank you for sharing.
P.S. Great quality videos. I can see there's a lot of editing involved.
Anca Fernaga thank you so much! I will definitely do more of these :) We spend a lot of time filming and editing as we want to provide quality content, and I appreciate you taking the time to watch!! Much love
Such great editing, as usual. I loved the salmon, veggie hummus, and mini meatloaf!
***** Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed :) The salmon is so tasty!! :)
Popcorn in trail mix?!?! What???? GENIUS!! Love it!
Squisitissima YES! It adds volume without adding extra fat and calories!! :)

I absolutely love the music you have for your videos! The song has grown on me :)
Brooke thank you! Yes SO many people ask about the music so we keep using it lol :) Cheers!
Love this video (and the style in which you filmed/edited it). You always have such great ideas!
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 💜
Like the salt and pep ying yang. Nice touch!
Erin Coleman thank you! :)
I take some quinoa and ground turkey and make a filling and make stuffed bell peppers so good sometimes I make mini ones if I just want a light lunch or dinner or snack even
+Alyssa Isenhart Sounds delicious!
That trail mix looks amazing, definitely going to make some of it to keep at work for an afternoon snack!
dranger2010 Yes! I LOVE trail mix but it's generally has a lot of fat and calories, so I put popcorn in mine to add volume without extra calories and fat! :) I hope you enjoy!
I just ordered the chopper using your link! Thank you! Super cool!
I hope you enjoy, it's very helpful!
Mind Over Munch
oh my!!! I have only used it once and I'm in love! I feel like Oprah! Next Christmas I'll be all:
"and you get a chopper, and YOU get a chopper!!!"
Simplemente me encanta, tu estilo y tus tips
Yenny Prieto :)
Thanks!! Answer this: when will you make a coconut sugar series
Thanks !! I really want to meal prep.
Gamaliel Hernandez You bet! I hope this helps!
awesome video! so simple yet so cute and creative. i really love these videos and your recipes. cant wait to try the chia pudding in your past few videos!
Huda Soliman thank you! I hope you enjoy the chia pudding! :)
Love it!! Sorry been out of commission sore throat and cold :(
I will surely do this meal prep next week... This week it's all about teas and soups for me *sigh*!!
Thank you for sharing :)
Aarti Arora Oh no! Hope you're feeling better!!
btw, You can easily cut more of the broccoli end, just peel the sides clean and cut them in smaller pieces, when u cook them they taste really great! :)
+Devil.Babe.Raven Joyce thanks so much for the tip!
great video.. save the broccoli stems.. allot of nutrients.. you can use them in chili , stews, fried rice.
great tip!
That meet ball thing looks awesome!
Awesome I'm glad you liked the recipe! :)
I love meal prep videos! Have to make the smoothie bags and the veggie and hummus jars :D
JulieAlexandra Yes! The smoothie bags make my morning smoothie so quick and easy!
Awesome meal prep vid!!! Thx so much💕

Judith van der Leek That's awesome! Yes we all have to find the right prep to suit our own lifestyles and preferences! So glad you've found what works!
Why do you use jars instead of like a glad plastic thing? Does it keep longer? Also, I just got a food saver, let me know your thoughts on that.
I do use plastic containers in some meal prep episodes! It doesn't matter really, just depends on your preference. I like how the jars look and they fit will in my fridge! I don't personally have a food saver and I haven't ever used one! It looks like a cool kitchen tool, though! :)
Thank you so much! this is so helpful!
How long do you fine the vegetables will last cut up and in jars?
+Cassie Mckee I'd like to know the shelf time for most this stuff actually I've found I can't prep fruits more than a day or so in advance or they get all slimy :/ guess it's time to google since I'm meal planning to save money no buying ebooks for me haha.
i bought the foodsaver v4800 @costco today for this exact reason.
I was curious about this too and bought 3 glass jars with metal lids you can screw on (they can be used to make preservatives as well) to compare to the plastic bags/boxes I normally use; plastic makes veggies and fruits soft and soggy within a day, maybe two, whereas I have some bell peppers leftover in the glass jars that I sliced a week ago (last Saturday) and they're still firm and crisp! Definitely makes a difference.
L-O-V-E this. Will definitely be trying.
created2worshipGOD :) Thank you! Hope it helps your healthy lifestyle! :)
can you please make this a series!!!
I wish! Each of these meal prep videos takes about 8 hours to film and 6 hours to edit lol, but I will try to do them more often! Hopefully 1 every 4-6 weeks!! :) thank you so much for your support and for watching!!
I heard its bad to cut fruit and vegetables and not eat them right away, because all the vitamins dissapear or something like that. Is it true?
I doubt that. How would that happen, the air sucks it out? That's a peculiar thing I never heard that before! I'm sure it is okay 😁
Is your meal prep book available as ebook only? I'm not a fan of ebooks because I always end up forgetting about them. But I'd buy a hard copy! Love your recipes!!!! Keep them coming!

You prepare for the week maybe on Sunday and than you put all the container and jars in the fridge or in the freezer?
+LiLa LaSchnee I usually prep for 4-5 days at a time, if I can cover most of the week days I'm more successful :) I store everything in the fridge, unless it's something I won't eat in time and then I freeze it :) My eBook discusses in detail :) mindovermunch.com/ebooks Cheers!
Where do you get your mason jars? My lids recently rusted on my old ones. I didn't see any carrot and celery prep do you cut those as well?
I get them on Amazon! Target also had them but online is sometimes a bit cheaper!! The carrot snack segment was quick- I just cut them into small stocks! :)

do you use mason jars for any benefit over using tupperware?
I like mason jars because they're great for making efficient use of the storage space in my fridge! And I think they're easier to wash
i love how to haif pre its make the cooking easy
ghdeer s exaclty! It makes it easier so I don't have to cut everything right when I'm cooking, etc :)

+Tracy C :) Thank you!! That is fantastic! Congrats on starting the year off so strong! My meal prep eBook is available at mindovermunch.com/ebooks :) Today's meal prep video gives a discount code if you're interested
cheers and thank u again.
Does all of this food last in your fridge for the whole week? I'm scared of my food spoiling before the 7 days ends which why I haven't done meal preps before. Is there any advice you have on making sure things don't spoil?
lifeofshilpa Hi there! it's kind of an investment, but there are mason jar vacuum sealers that you can purchase that suck the air out of the jars, making fruits and veggies last over a week! You can find them on Amazon!
Courtney Madden awesome suggestion!
lifeofshilpa I usually prep for 4-5 days at a time :) My Meal Prep eBook at mindovermunch.com/ebooks gives info on how to store and freeze food to prevent spoilage :)
Thank you so much!
Courtney Madden Thank you!
Do the fruit smoothie bags go in the fridge or freezer? And what was that yellow veggie, yellow zucchini?
Monica L freezer :) I just add a bit of milk and sometimes protein powder or nut butter and it's ready to go! The yellow vegetable was yellow summer squash :)
I am liking this all ready.
So glad to hear it, thank you!!
Who else thought that the smoothie bags were genius. I always have to run around to find the perfect smoothie ingredients.
Inshirah Sulthana thank you! They make my mornings so quick! :)
I love your Chanel so much u inspire me to be a cook
that is so amazing!! keep it up! :) thank you!
Mind Over Munch I just made your rice crispy recipe from one of your videos my family and I loved it
i love how you make your salt and pepper look like a ying yang sign
+Joe Mama :) Thank you for noticing!!
I've been struggling in my fit life journey (working too much and not focusing on nutrition = miserable) and this really just lit a spark! This is a big help, thank you!
P.S. Where did you get the cute little mason jars that you put the fruit in?
love4realz That's awesome! I am so so glad you're feeling inspired! I got the jars on amazon, they're 4oz size, but I actually got those purple lids at either walmart or target, I can't remember! They have a whole mason jar section with goodies like the funnel and different colored lids and stuff! :)
That was awesome! Inspiring.
+kokolatte825 :) Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm 12 y/o and very fit but meal prep sounds like a very healthy life style! Id like to start small and just meal prep lunches for the weekend. (I'm also a girl) Do you think I should?! I do love to cook😀
+Hayley Williams Yeah! Meal prep can help anyone stay on track. If you enjoy cooking, you'd probably have fun preparing the meals for the week :)
Great video and I'm so pleased to finally know what that song is. I have to find it and download it immediately. :)
Sophie Garriock thank you!! :) It's great!
Now i feel so unorganized lol your meal preps are awesome!!!! :) im new to your channel & love all your videos
Yvonne Mendoza Thank you!! I do a minimal amount of prep but it sets me up for success for the week! I appreciate you watching! :)
Can you make a video about making meal prep bento boxes?
thanks for the request!
I have made those before, and they have become a family favorite! Do you have a recipe on hummus?
Matthew Milarch both the hummus and meatloaf muffins are in my meal prep eBook, and I have a few other hummus recipes on mindovermunch.com too :)
Ok thanks!
great video!! what recommendations do you have for soy sauce substitutions? Also could you do some stir fry and crock pot recipes?
+Alexandria Rojas For soy sauce I usually use low sodium, but braggs liquid aminos is a great sub! I have a few crock pot and stir fry recipes, but I'll do more :) Thank you! Check these out in the meantime! ua-cam.com/video/YmIat1Wz9WM/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/iJM5bauUAk8/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/j4nVTncDYxU/v-deo.html
+Mind Over Munch Thanks!!
Do the mason jars need to be sterilized each time. And do you replace the lids after each use?
I typically wash my mason jars and lids in the dishwasher! I reuse my lids
Mason jars here I com, thank you for this video
haha thanks :)
+Mind Over Munch
Great video! It's very informative and helps a great deal to keep me focused on my journey! Do you, by chance, have a recipe or a video on how you made your shashimi? I've been dying to try it out!
1carissa6 Thank you!! I LOVE sashimi! The great thing about it, though, is it doesn't really need a recipe! The sashimi itself is the uncooked fish- salmon and yellowfin tuna are great choices! Buy good quality for the best sashimi. Slice your fish into pieces, and you can drizzle with a little olive oil, soy sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds if you'd like! It's delicious and doesn't need much :) Cheers!
wow thanks for this video..going to buy some jars..
Mayda Torres you're welcome! Have fun prepping!
Oh I will. I am so thankful for your videos, so informative and extreme helpful.. now I have a better sense of how to go about prepping. Again thank you.
Mason jar game on point!
Patricia Huynh yes! Makes everything cuter :)
Question: Your placing your food in glass jars so does that keep the food fresher?
In general, using airtight storage containers keeps food fresher for longer. But you can use glass airtight containers (like jars) or plastic storage containers! I just find that jars can be easier to clean, easy to fit in my fridge, and I try to limit my use of plastic when I can.
Thank for you for your reply. I appreciate it!
Love your channel!
Mia M thank you!!!
