this video is coming out quite late from when I recorded it because life has been heavy. After travelling I was feeling burnt out (AKA realizing there's a whole world to see but I have to work bc.. capitalism) and then the SCOTUS ruling heavily impacted life decisions Madison and I have to make and feeling like I want to drop everything & focus on grassroots activism... (but again I can only do so much bc I have to work bc.. capitalism) it just got delayed. I hope it's still helpful or entertaining in some way ❤️

My new approach to failure is to replace “how shitty of me to fail” with “how brave of me to try!”
It’s really helped, give it a go☺️
I ADORE this. I just took a screenshot of your comment to share with my yoga students and to remind MYSELF as well. How BRAVE of me to try. That's so on point.
This made me cry a bit. How kind
Omg, this is beautiful.
i love this approach ;) thanks to have expressed this ;)
I started doing this years ago and it’s been lifechanging. I promise you, anyone who keeps up with it long-term will feel their thoughts and daily mood change!
Omg Madison admitting that she was hungry when she was shopping 😂😂😂
This is the worst thing you can do!
when I saw you leaving the bottom of the blinds open I was like "oh for kitty!" and then you confirmed. cat mom things 😄
Hi Shelbi, Italian and moka lover here! If I may give you a tip, you don't need to boil water beforehand and then pour it into your moka; you just need to fill the lower part with moka (cold water is perfectly fine), then you put the filter thingy on top (do not fill it with too much coffee or else it won't come out), close the whole thing down with the top part and just place it onto the stove (remember to put it at a low-medium temperature)! I'd suggest you to prepare coffeecoffee and then NOT drinking it so that the moka will go through a sort of trial test (once will be fine); then, you'll be able to use it normally! Hope it helps :)
Yes, I second all of this!! I think it tastes better when you start with cold water, not sure why. Also there is usually a line that tells you how much water you should put in (because Shelbi was wondering if she put enough water ;)).
@@Nina-jo8bm you should fill it up to the point where the pot starts "slimming" (have you noticed that it has a sort of "border"? I don't know how to explain it properly 🥲). You shouldn't fill it up to the end because once you put the filter into it, water will eventually drip down. A good tip to know if you've put the right amount of water is this (told by my grandpa): you should put enough water so that when you put the filter in it, it gets a little water in it but not TOO much. Then, proceed by putting coffee in it.
Also, as for cold water, it's actually a matter of science: cold water boils faster, resulting in coffee being ready in a few minutes. Hope it helps 🙂
@@thisismaer mine just has a fill line that shows you how much water to put in. That's what I meant :)
@@thisismaer you just fill it up to just under the valve.
I concur with this, Moka pots (or greca, we call it like that in Puerto Rico) are my favorite way of doing coffee too. Less wasteful than using my french press when I’m alone, and stronger choice of course 😊
Aw the coffee maker is so nostalgic for me. Its also called a cafenero or a cuban coffee maker. My family is Dominican (another island in the Caribbean) and I grew up with that contraption on my stove too. I actually wanna get a tattoo of it to remember my mother haha.
That AJ transition is everythingggggg
I like your idea of checking out experiences you can have in the state you live in. After not being able to travel because of COVID, just going out to dinner and a movie feels like a mini vacation and as you said has a low carbon footprint.
That's exactly what I've been thinking lately. Maybe it's just me having covid (🥴 after 2.5 years, it got me) but I don't necessarily feel the need to go somewhere far away just to have fun. I still love travelling and I'll always love travelling, I'm just learning new things and rediscovering the reality around me 🥰
I don't know if everyone noticed, but how thoughtful to bleep so you didn't trigger everyone's Alexa/Google whatever it was 😂
you might also like cold brewed coffee. it's very different from drip coffee, and you don't use any fuel to heat it up or anything. you can also freeze it (comes in handy since otherwise you have to plan to make it in advance) but then it's back to using energy : )
I heard of some people making hot coffee (because it’s all they had or something) and then making ice cubes out of creamer or even making them from more coffee so it wouldn’t water down
@@aryanadavin8135 yep I make ice cubes out of drip coffee to put in my morning iced lattes during the summer! :)
Even if you microwave the coffee after cold brewing it it still tastes really good! I find that cold brewing helps remove a lot of that classic “acidic” coffee taste.
@@SaveMoneySavethePlanet I agree! I had to stop drinking coffee for a while b.c. of the acid and came to love cold brew! I also drink it hot sometimes.
grow watermelons instead of pumpkins! similar space requirement and care but they like hot. i live in maine and its too cold for watermelons, we grow squash pretty good though. you can also start collard greens, they can deal with cold and hot. your cucumber might need fertilizer, i've been using banana peels lately, if you cut it up, let it sit in water for 24 hours it adds alot of flowering/fruiting nutrients (potasium and, i always forget the other one).
Also, I can't believe you finally bought a coffee machine AFTER I came to stay. Good to know its there for next time...
I love coffee from a Moka pot! Looking at the size of yours, it looks to me that it's for around 4 espressos. You don't have to put hot water in the beginning so you don't burn yourself, it'll work with cold water too ☺️
Ok so I don't get the carbon footprint thing about flying. Those plans fly at those times everyday regardless if you are on that flight or not... I just don't get how does my carbon footprint make a difference by not taking that flight somewhere?
Can you share the link for your coffee set up there? I’ve never seen that before! Looks so cool
I also live in San Antonio, and NONE of my fruits/vegetables survived the heat this summer. Only my basil and mint have thrived this year.
Shelbi, would you ever share a list of San Antonio / Austin area small businesses that you like for their eco friendliness? I'm always looking for eco-friendly local businesses and it's hard out there!
Seconding this! Places for refills especially 🤩
Props to Tara, the editing is on point 👌🏻
You talking to the chickens made me laugh SO HARD LMAO I grew up with a lot of chickens, they are just like that lol Universally like that, it seems lol
I noticed you keep your Misto upside-down. What does that do for it? Have I been storing mine wrong?
I've heard just boiling water will kill weeds like dandelions in the cracks of your driveway. Maybe it would work for that too.
Ok your editor is giving my such Lixian vibes with her humor and I’m here for it 😆
I love these casual sustainable life vlogs
Your hair looks great, Shelbi, and I bet you feel lighter, too. :) It's a nice length. ♥
i definitely do! thank you so much
Adding a little vanilla extract to the milk helps with flavor :) also if you like maple flavor, maple syrup is nice!
I needed to hear the advice about the brown leaves. I'm trying to actually keep plants alive for once in my life and even though I'm doing a pretty good job my strawberry's got brown leaves and it made me wonder if I'm failing.
It's a relief to know it's normal.
I like the shorter hair! It's still "long", but not overpowering.
All my homemade coffee is cold brew and I highly recommend. It's completely zero waste, less acidic so it doesn't give me heartburn, I can control how strong I want it based on how long I let it infuse, I can make big batches to prep for my week, and I can warm it up in the microwave if I need a hot cup ☕️
Another low space, low waste way to make coffee is the French Press. Do pick glass over plastic for the cylinder pot; the coffee tastes different. Do pick chrome covered, stainless with built-in feet for the frame; the coffee tastes different. Do pick one labeled as 12 cup, or 10 cup; it is easier to control the coffee flavor by varying the volume of grounds, length of brew, temperature of the water, grind size, and type of grounds. You can't get the flavor of a steamed or high pressure expresso machine/ pot but you can control a number of the factors. If just wanting a cup of coffee, you can get even the house brand of Folger's to taste much differnet than in a drop pot. You'll use far fewer grounds to get a comparable flavored coffee from a drip pot, but if just getting a cup of coffee comparable to a drop pot you can skimp on the grounds and brew longer too.
Did you name your Alexa a** h*** 😂 what a mood.
Ok I’m a coffee nerd and only cringing because it’s technically not espresso- not judging and I love moka too 😂😅😅😅
…Also I am cringing at myself for leaving such a “well, aaaactually” comment. Y’all can judge me.
Also, another great espresso (and drip) alternative is the aeropress. Yes it’s plastic but you can get them secondhand and get a reusable filter. Lasts forever, easy to clean/dishwasher safe if you need to.
A little trick for the milk frother - run it on the hot setting once, and then on the cold setting right after. For the cold setting, keep the power button pressed for a bit longer and you should see the light turn blue instead of red. The extra mixing time makes for a thicker, more velvety foam 😋
I am also a mokapot gal! I've tried making every type of coffee at home but always come back to my mokapot. I've been using the same Bialetti for the last 7 years, and it really helps me regulate my coffee intake. It tastes delicious, is inconvenient enough to prevent me from making another, and there are no paper filters or coffee socks to be bothered with. Perfecto ✌️
When using your moka, you don't have to use hot water, just put it on the stove as is ^^ you did put enough water but it's the steam from the stove heat that's gonna push the water trough the coffee. I know it for the video but leave the lid closed when heating, you'll now it's ready by the gurgling sound of it, when the sound starts, just cut the heat and wait a minute :D if you want something a bit more subtil, just reduce by +- 20% the amount of coffee for same amount of water. I hope you'll enjoy your next espresso
Pain perdu = French toast for us Americans.
Girl look into an aeropress! My husband loves his and it's the easiest way to make coffee (and gets close to espresso)
Does anyone have good alternatives to using Facebook for finding local second-hand items?
there might be second hand stores here and there, or asking your local grocery store to put up a sort of 'sales board',
where people who shop there (so, locals!) can advertise things like lawn chairs or whatever they'd like to sell.
You can check the Classifieds of your local newspaper(s).
That camera drop edit was PERFECTION!! And your hair is beautiful🤩 🥰
Your chickens are adorable. What are all their names? How long have you had them now?
If it gives you more problems put some vinegar on it. I grew up using it on the farm and still use it in my yard when needed.
Check out an aero press for an espresso option, it’s not perfect but it covers all of my coffee needs, is very compact, and mine has lasted over a decade. And they have a reusable filter option.
YOUR HAIR IS SO STINKING CUTE!!!! That's a perfect length on you! Also super jealous of your tomato harvest, I have only had two so far on my plant and it's been SUPER slow growing in NW Arkansas (probably also because of the heat)...
I missed you! I'm wondering if you have any videos talking about hair dyeing and enviromental consequences of it?thank you! Kisses from Brasil
your house is gorgeousssssss who says sustainable can't be pretty
Do you recommend an eco-friendly moka pot?
The haircut looks so good!
I’m early!! I always appreciate your videos, they remind me that sustainability is a journey and that it’s a matter of constant change, specially for beginners like me :)
Love the hair Shelby
Omg shelbi became aesthetic😍😍😍
Love to see vlog style videos like this!!
If you have a kettle you could try putting boiling water on the root. That kills weeds..don't see why it wouldn't help with a root.
NGL, @19:57, I thought Shelbi said "Hey B****" instead of "Hey Alexa". The internet has ruined me.
I thought they named their Alexa “*sshole” 🤣🤣
WE LOVE THE GARDENING VLOGS TYSM
So fun to watch a day in your life and see the sustainability incorporated and actually helping you out!! You make it easy to follow your lead!!
How is the garden fairing in the 100+ heat we've been having in SA the last two weeks?
You can put cold water on the mocca coffee maker. Here in Brasil its called an italian coffee maker and we use cold water all the time
I like using a French press (or coffee press). It can make one or two cups and it makes it pretty strong.
the reason that the pumpkins might not be surviving besides the heat is because you're having them grow vertically.
usually, pumpkin plants like crawling over the ground, i think because they re-attach themselves to the ground here and there with new roots?
I could watch you all day x
im in florida 9b and it's time now for pumpkins, maybe you can try now :) texas has been compared to florida heat weather
Shelbi you're home and garden are so beautiful !!
I really need garden arches like yours! Where did you get them? I’m living in north Austin and learning gardening too. So far have no been very successful but I plan to keep going! Your garden is inspirational ❤️
We're gardeners- pumpkins are hard to grow in the South. Try mini pumpkins like Casper, or Jack B Little
In Massachusetts zone 5B we find it much easier to grow pumpkins
Yellow pear tomatoes are literally delicious- great for salads!
You can start green beans in September!
A Vietnamese Phin makes a nice cup of coffee and they're super small and would be perfect for traveling too. Or a cold brew jar.... Live on that ALLLLL summer.
I think growing pumpkins in Texas is resorce intensive, which you avoid in your garden. Here in NE Ohio, my sister accidentally grew pumpkins in her pile of yard waste because she chucked rotting pumpkins in it the previous year. 😆😆
This haircut looks really gooood on you! Love it!
First time I’m seeing your videos. Am I understanding correctly… you live in Texas and don’t use AC during the day? I’m in Ohio and having trouble grasping that. Granted my house is old and desperately in need of insulation. But omgggg! Idk if I could do that. Maybe. But I’d be grumpy about it.
Love the hair! My daughter and I get hair cuts about every 2 years, and each time donate our hair for wigs for kids with cancer (Locks of Love.) When you know it is helping people, getting a hair cut is more exciting and less stressful.
Hi, your moka pot is actually an Italian coffee maker.All my Italian friends have it, we had it for a long long time but the heat melts the handle after a while and after replacing many handles, we moved to an expresso machine 😀
Enjoy your coffee but careful with the handle
If you are a coffee lover, this is the best
Enjoy!
My Moka pot recently broke. It wasn’t the best quality. After making coffee I went to unscrew the bottom. It wouldn’t budge and the plastic handle came off. I hope this doesn’t happen to yours. I’m still sad about it.
If you ever end up on a sleeper train. I would love to see a vlog. The only one I know about is in CA.
I normally don't leave this kind of comments, BUT I really feel the need to instruct you on the use of a moka:
1. Put cold water in the bottom part
2. Fill the coffee filter to the brim, an put a little bit more on top of that, it needs to form a "little mountain"
3. Screw on the top part and then put it on the burner.
Also, it seems like you have a 4 or 6 servings moka, so when you brew it, it makes 4 or 6 espresso shots
My tripod kitty Big Mike jumped up in my lap from the floor for the first time in two years while I am getting ready and watch you. I'm in a wheelchair and I think he likes my spasming legs because he is passed out. Lol!
oh i'm so curious what is that desk chair you have! is it like a kneeling chair but slightly different? also welcome back : )
I just got back from San Antonio and Oklahoma. It was over 100 everyday we were there.
My parents have had one of those coffee makers for YEARS - it’s the perfect way for them to make coffee while camping!
I hundred percent thought you swore at your device when you asked it for the time cus of the beep. Took me way longer than I want to admit to work out it was so all of the alexas watching didn't answer! Lol 🤣
"This is my official resignation as a pumpkin farmer." Hehehe Girl, I relate. 🎃
I haven't finished the video yet, but I need to know where you got your convertible kneeling stool/desk chair!!
I saw somewhere that if you close your blinds up, they reflect the light back outside and it's better for conserving energy
Is that the Milano Espresso maker from Grosche? If so...cool on you! It's a great company.
Thank you for bleeping out your Alexa/Google!! It’s so annoying to be listening to a video and have it set off my google
Could you make a video on how to best store fruits and vegetables so they stay fresh longer to reduce the amount of food waste? This has been one of my biggest problems that I am slowly trying to fix and I would love to have some tips!
Not enough soil and shade for the pumpkins probably. They need a deep moist, loamy soil.
I have trouble with pumpkins in Florida too and I have the same mentality about it! Glad to know I'm not alone!
in my family we only use those coffee makers (and in a lot of europe in general because its cheap and easy). it doesnt make espresso, just normal coffee
Hair looks lovely
You might look up determinate vs indeterminate variety of tomatoes, this may be why the new variety this year grew so much
Your little coral matching set looks so cute 😍
I had a pumpkin decompose in my parents house and a pumpkin grew in it's place annually
Any particular reason you store your misto upside down? Does that keep the oil fresher or something.
I love my mocha pot!!!!! That’s all we use to make coffee right now
I miss my old mocha pot so much. I will say, mocha pots are for some reason really easy to find at thrift stores. I've never gotten one new and up until my last move I had one for years, and I don't think that I ever paid more than about $5 for any of them.
we get lots of Japanese beetles and I've heard you can feed them to chickens and they love them!
It is a BIG change! But it looks wonderful anyway!
What chicken coop/run do you have? I found out I can have hens in my city limits!
I heard you can make flour with you sunflower stocks.
Silly question. Do the chickens eat the watermelon seeds?
Please need to slow flowing with unnecessary flying for sure 🌏♻️🌱
Bleeping out the name of the voice assistant SENT ME lmao
What is SCOTUS? I'm not based in USA.
You shouldn’t plant tomatoes in the same place every year
Love the hair :-)
I would like to have a garden some day.
if there is a community garden near you, that's a great way to practice! I still drop off my extra compost at the community garden that taught me to grow my first potatoes :)
