I hope you enjoy today's video! There are a couple of things I forgot to talk about in this video (silicone bags and compostable meals for camping) that will make it into the next one!! Promise. If you like the video please give it a thumbs up and subscribe! xxx
Hey Immy, great to see you today. Thanks for this video... such a treat!! I would love to learn more about compostable meals for camping or anything related to this topic. I have been an outdoors enthusiast for many decades but my eating habits have changed in the past few years, and so have the products on the market. I would love to learn more about plant-based camping food in general 🌿🏕
Hey Immy! A homestead channel I really like is Fairyland Cottage! Her videos are very relaxing (like yours) and I really enjoy her content :) have a great day!
I purchased a tin set from Ethical Superstore, the brand is A Slice of Green. I have had this for nearly three years and have used both parts for different occasions. I got a Ethical Superstore Gift Voucher as one of my Wedding presents. My husband and I asked for money as the main gift but a handful of people wanted to give us something more physical so I asked for physical items or vouchers. Two physical items included a Aloe Vera plant and a Cacti🌵
I often pass these metal containers at the store and consider buying them. This review has definitely helped solidify my desire for them. Also, your curl journey over the years has been incredible to see!!
Solid reusable containers solidifying your desire for them... I cannot think of too many other things that I own which serve such a valuable purpose as keeping my food contained and with me 😃. Love your channel and have really been enjoying your recent content. Hope your solar panels are OK, and congrats on your property. It looks gorgeous 🏔🌲
the curls get wilder and wilder with each year haha - oooh would love to know how you get on with them, only advice is to think really carefully about which size, shape and lid will suit your neeeds :) xx hope you 3 are well, still can't believe you bought land so damn exciting
So sorry to hear about your dog Nina! That sounds like such a lovely gift to get from a vet - would love to hear how you get on with the move and planting :)
I planted several pieces of seed paper packaging 2 months, and there are several wildflowers sprouting and growing! It was super easy for me to plant and take care of (and I am a notorious plant killer). I'm looking forward to using more seed paper in the future.
ah wow! Thanks so much for sharing - I too was a notorious plant killer but i've been trying to learn as much as I can! I managed to kill all of my cucumber plants except for one!
I never realized how attached I am to my reusable lunch & snack containers until... in order to spread happiness and promote plant-based eating amongst my colleagues, I share homemade vegan snacks & treats... and if my peeps at work forget to return my containers, there I am running around the building on a repo trip. PS - by far... hands down... the most popular treat that my colleagues love are those amazing Immy Pecan Coffee Vanilla Brownies. People ask for them by request... there is now a sign-up list for whose turn it is next for the brownies... and people promise to return my reusable snack containers. Thanks for sharing that comfort food recipe with us Immy... it is so popular 🥰 Loving this video... only half-way through.
@@SustainablyVegan Thanks Immy... food is a very powerful motivator and it makes people smile... especially baking... it helps build bonds of friendship like nothing other 🍪🧁🍩😃
In Spain we've got a sustainable denim company called Capitán Denim and their tags are with seed too! I planted them and they never grew lol. Hope you have bettee luck!
I find using my double walled Clean Kanteen has been lovely but I recently got a narrow mouthed one from a 2nd store for only a dollar that I find easier to drink out of. I still like my kanteen for ice cubes and such but it tends to slosh a lot out of a wide opening. I use my cloth napkins and bring my own utensils to work so I don't use plastic all the time. I have tried to get my workplace to adopt the same practices, even offering to buy them their own kanteens to use rather than the single ice-cold disposable plastic bottles our work offers, with a brita filter pitcher in the fridge to use instead. When I go to town to shop I always bring my own lunch and water bottle to save money rather than go out to eat.
My business cards are plantable!! They do actually sprout 😂 but some heavy rain drowned out the little sprouts and they weren’t able to grow into full fruition... you could try planting the smaller paper discs in a pot inside and that bag outside to compare! Edit: watched more of the video and that’s literally what you did 😂 hope they turn out!
Thank you so much for your lovely words :) yes I definitely needed a short break from work and a short break from social media. It's amazing how much it can improve your mood!
You look great, and your life seems very organized and calm to me. I know all of this doesn't happen overnight, but I am working toward a place where all of the systems I have created come together to make a sustainable life possible. I never realized how much planning goes into a lifestyle change to becoming vegan and low-waste!
Hey, if you need little planting pods, look at cemeteries in the garbage! There are a lot of plants that are planted from little pods and you can just use them for your plants
Now that’s a really clever idea. Baking and storage all from the same container... brilliant!! Autumn2020, you are one smart cookie 🍪, or should I say one smart loaf baker 🍞 (I’m pretending this bread emoji is banana bread🍌🍞) 😃
Immy, thank you for your long videos! Listening to your videos while I unload groceries, prepare healthy meals, tidy my tiny house... really grounds me, reminds me of what I value + how to move forward. Plus, listening to your voice feels like listening to a friend!
I got one tin from my partner for Christmas some years ago and bought one second hand. My layered tiffin I rarely use, because the layers are too small for my lunch 😅 but the other one I use more often. But in the end I use the old Tupperware every day, that I already had when I was in primary school.
I share your love for reusable tuppers... mine are decades old and they have fed me thousands of lunches and treats throughout the decades. I wash them regularly, never heat food in them, and keep track of where they migrate to at work. I cannot think of too many things in my life that I use everyday for such an important task. Great comment Katzen Lady... me and my tuppers are with you all the way! 😃🌿
Metal lunchboxes - I find wrapping my sandwich in a liner like a fabric wrap or beeswax wrap helpful and I do like that my yoghurts are secure! The ones with clips are also really handy for storing like cereal bars and open packets of stuff whilst camping (not backpacking so much but average camping!- I also save Christmas biscuit tins for this). The big elephant box makes an excellent loaf tin for baking banana bread. You will need a liner paper but it’s handy as you can store it in it too
Hugs & smiles... and a warm welcome back to you Immy 💜. We’ve missed you and we celebrate your return with enthusiasm. I am so excited to watch a video from you today... right now... Whoop!! Whoop!! Gonna hit ▶️ Very excited!! 🥰
I cannot decide which looks better... your garden or your hair!! Both are looking refreshing and beautiful. Loved the music, loved this video, and loved seeing you again. Thank-you so much for your awesomeness today. I cannot wait to hear about what you’ve been reading. Also, long videos are the best... I always love to hear, see & learn more. I loved the garden tour today, and would be interested to learn more about how you are using dill 🌿💜🌿🌸

@@MsRainingDays Hi there… I tried to post a link here in my comment on 10 ways to combat slugs in your garden, but it wouldn’t take. There are basically two schools of thought when it come to dealing with slugs… one method is to repel the slugs, the other method is to kill them. Your values will influence your decision. I live in northern 🇨🇦 and because our temperatures are colder than the southern parts of the country, we have very few slugs. One year we did get a few slugs in the garden and my partner set up beer traps. This seemed to work OK, but not 100%. There are other systems such as copper strips etc but we have never used them. If you search the internet for suggestions on dealing with slugs in your garden you will find plenty of info there. Thanks for asking, I hope you find a solution, and have a great day.
@@MsRainingDays Sorry for the confusion… I posted the link several times in two different comments and it did not initially show up… but I see now that it has... twice… I hope this is helpful.
I love all your music! I'm also so happy to have another video from you :) I hope your break was relaxing and allowed you to recharge a bit. Hope you're doing well!
Thanks so much! I actually recently changed my music subscription for UA-cam videos to include more artists so I'm glad you liked them!! And thank you, yes a break is always needed every now and again, I always seem to forget this!
Love the tempo in your videos, gives time for thoughts. About gardering, I work as a garderner and did listen to a talk about different soil mixtures todayy. One reasearcher and her student had looked into diffrent recepies of a garderners notebook dated 1912. He had diffrent recepies for 70 diffrent species and sometimes diffrent soils mixtures for diffrent stages in the plant development (sowing, potting re potting). The student had then made a study for her bachelor to follow one of his recepies (dont remeber all the ingredients but leaf-compost, and, soil from the ground outside and composted cow dung was some of the components), made one mixture her self with local resources and then compared these two too an store bought baged eco-soil. She grow lettuce and compared thw weight of the harvest and also the maintanace and how much water they needed. In sweden, most store bought baged soil have an base of peat, so not that sustanable (plus the plastic bags and transportation and so on). She acctually got the biggest and tasteiest harvest from the old recepie, it also hold moisture better and the lettuce heads got more compact. The store bought soil had too much nitrogen so the lettuces did become to lose and bitter. The 'historical' mixture did thought got more weeds in it, about 21 species in about 1-2 m2 . I found that very interesting and inspiring to make your own soil. And then really closing the circle when growing your own food if you dont need to buy all the soil. I have a composting toilet because I live in a tiny house partly of grid (have electricity), I alway thought that when I buy a real house I will get back to 'normal' toilets but have started to re-think that. Sorry for the long comment but just felt the urge to share :)
ah never apologise! This comment was SO interesting and insightful, I really appreciate you sharing. Yes! Peat free is the way to go. I'm hoping in the future when I have a small place of my own I will be able to make my own compost and mixtures as you said. I totally agree they will always be better than store bought. Gosh what an interesting find, thanks again for sharing!
I tried planting some seed paper thing, it came with instructions to soak it overnight before planting. It’s not been long though so I haven’t seen anything poking out yet
I spend hours, days and weeks sometimes to find THE right item (close to impossible). But afterwards I thank myself for the right choice through years ! ^^ So yeah, every detail matters ! ;)
Those seed disks are interesting, I’ve never seen them in an order! I’ll be intrigued to see if they sprout. Loved the laidback vibe of this video. Would definitely be interested in a skincare version 😌
ahhhh yes! That's one of the reasons why I put them in a bag - apparently slugs don't like wool so you could always put some down around the basil and that should help - a good deterrent without using anything harmful
I got the ceramic porter bowl and love it. It's heavy but it fits so much and feels so nice to hold. I think it makes all of my warm bowls and salads look so much more appealing. Big fan. Do you have it in the UK?
my cousin recently sent me a beautiful postcard which has seeds in it as well and it was the first time ive heard of it! so its funny to now see your bag etc, I didn't know that it was such a thing. Excited to see whether seedlings will come up, I havent tried mine because the postcard is so pretty and I was scared I'd use it and then it doesnt work. Love this video!
We have one metal tin and I carry it everyday, it’s my “good kit” that holds utensils, a straw for our kid and a cloth napkin. It works ok for leftovers, but more often we end up using it to split a meal or snack from the farmers market. If we are planning a picnic we use glass containers, but I don’t normally carry them everyday because they’re heavy and breakable.
I love that you give things a good amount of time before you decide if they are a hit or fail. Things to think about like the heating factor of plain metal tins for lunches is really important, something i'd have completely forgotten about until the day i went to use it. I admit i have got a bit excited about buying reusable things but thankfully i did my research and i have tried not to overdo buying. Its definitely fun to buy new stuff and always gives us that thrill but the biggest challenge in going low waste is actually going "hey do i need this really?". In reality i do one meal a day type fasting during the working week, and for me buying lunch boxes in any form is an absolute waste of time! But I still cant help but browse websites selling them!
I am curious about your favorite homestead and gardening UA-cam channels - will you be adding those recommendations to the description box? thank youuuuu!
One of things I regret is my slice of green clasp boxes for same reason due to a clasp getting loose so going for ones with silicone lids that was watertight. Bento splash box are my faves I think. After say 2 to 3 years. My son needs a bigger box so replacing his slice of green one with a bento splash box
Best video ever. Right on point and esthetically spot on. Thank you for this wonderful creation. You are always a beautiful and inspiring person. Thank you.
Fun video! I'm not sure how accurate it is but I've heard we should be careful of planting seeds paper as some plants might be highly invasive in certain regions.
I am not big on aesthetics when it comes to my storage containers. I use what I have or what family and friends gave me. I haven't bought any such items for probably 10 years. I try to avoid plastic use as much as possible and recycle whatever I can. I have dozens of glass Mason jars that I use for everything!
I was waiting to hear about your silicone storage bags. I hate the ones with the slider tops. Wanted to hear your opinion. I want a different kind. Waiting for that video.
First of all, your hair looks amazing! For the tins, would you recommend them for multiple day hikes, we have take glass containers for all day hikes but they are heavy and we dont have any plastic Tupperware or stasher bags. We do have some plastic baggies from our non zero waste days for trail mix and such but cant use them for food items as they squish and I dont want to buy another items unless I need to. For the seed paper, my cousin passed away a year ago and I wanted something special so i got cards for her immediate family and a few of my family on seed paper as memorial so they could plant them. I gave them two, one to plant and one I wrote on just in case they wanted to keep that one as they can be sentimental. I had a local lady special make them and they had a bird on them and she loved nature and her art business name was chickadee but it was a nice way to honor her and what she mean and my family loved it. I havent planted mine yet as I'm in a rental so once we are permanent I will and everytime I see it, i will be reminded of her and all her amazing qualities.
Yes, please - sustainable skin care video would be great! Can you also share the song title of the music playing while you're planting your seed papers?
They're the only ones who seem to understand how delicate curly hair is! I got a dry cut and it was the first time ever! Will always recommend from now on xx
i've plant 5 of those and only one has come out. To be honest I thin I didn't plant well the first 3 ones. I like the idea, but how many can I plant? If I don't pant them how do I recycle them?

I did plant some seeded paper and even if I used the wrong compost type, some seeds are actually sprouting 😀 a little gift for pollinators ☺
Love your garden!
I spend hours, days and weeks sometimes to find THE right item (close to impossible). But afterwards I thank myself for the right choice through years ! ^^
So yeah, every detail matters ! ;)
I adore your videos, your ideas and your filming👏🏻🥰
Girl - your hair is ON POINT
I should add that irregardless of how you tubers look - I listen to those that are real. But I just needed to point out your gorgeous hair.
Yes! Could you please do a video on sustainable skin care lines with good supply chains? Also, cookware. It's a rabbit hole so far. Thank you!!
Your HAIR!! Looks AMAZING!!
Oh wow, your hair looks gorgeous!!! Also, LOVE your channel. Great information, so calming and inspiring. Thank you for what you do.
Thank you so much for your lovely kind words! Really appreciated reading them xx
Those seed disks are interesting, I’ve never seen them in an order! I’ll be intrigued to see if they sprout. Loved the laidback vibe of this video. Would definitely be interested in a skincare version 😌
Your hair looks great and your garden looks so healthy! We have basil too but we're battling the slugs 😕
ahhhh yes! That's one of the reasons why I put them in a bag - apparently slugs don't like wool so you could always put some down around the basil and that should help - a good deterrent without using anything harmful
I have watched almost all your videos since day one. But this video my God...YOU LOOK SO STUNNING!!!❤️❤️❤️ Loved this hairstyle..it suits you 😍
I got the ceramic porter bowl and love it. It's heavy but it fits so much and feels so nice to hold. I think it makes all of my warm bowls and salads look so much more appealing. Big fan. Do you have it in the UK?
my cousin recently sent me a beautiful postcard which has seeds in it as well and it was the first time ive heard of it! so its funny to now see your bag etc, I didn't know that it was such a thing. Excited to see whether seedlings will come up, I havent tried mine because the postcard is so pretty and I was scared I'd use it and then it doesnt work.
Love this video!
Your hair is stunning. Please do a video about the products you use.
We have one metal tin and I carry it everyday, it’s my “good kit” that holds utensils, a straw for our kid and a cloth napkin. It works ok for leftovers, but more often we end up using it to split a meal or snack from the farmers market. If we are planning a picnic we use glass containers, but I don’t normally carry them everyday because they’re heavy and breakable.
You're amazing, I'm in love with all of your videos ❤🧡💛💚💙
Plus your hair is so beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!!
Hey Immy love your haircut.👍👍❤
I bought a 3 level ECOlunchbox 3 years ago and absolutely love it. I take it to work every day. It's super easy to clean, too.
I love that you give things a good amount of time before you decide if they are a hit or fail. Things to think about like the heating factor of plain metal tins for lunches is really important, something i'd have completely forgotten about until the day i went to use it. I admit i have got a bit excited about buying reusable things but thankfully i did my research and i have tried not to overdo buying.
Its definitely fun to buy new stuff and always gives us that thrill but the biggest challenge in going low waste is actually going "hey do i need this really?". In reality i do one meal a day type fasting during the working week, and for me buying lunch boxes in any form is an absolute waste of time! But I still cant help but browse websites selling them!
I am curious about your favorite homestead and gardening UA-cam channels - will you be adding those recommendations to the description box? thank youuuuu!
Darci isabella but shes not uploaded recently due to house move but her old videos are great
One of things I regret is my slice of green clasp boxes for same reason due to a clasp getting loose so going for ones with silicone lids that was watertight. Bento splash box are my faves I think. After say 2 to 3 years. My son needs a bigger box so replacing his slice of green one with a bento splash box
Your hair is looking soooo good !!!
Best video ever. Right on point and esthetically spot on. Thank you for this wonderful creation. You are always a beautiful and inspiring person. Thank you.
Fun video! I'm not sure how accurate it is but I've heard we should be careful of planting seeds paper as some plants might be highly invasive in certain regions.
Love the hair. And the tips obviously.
You look so GORGEOUS!!! Your hair, your skin...wow!! Stunning! Could you maybe drop your skincare routine? 💕
I am not big on aesthetics when it comes to my storage containers. I use what I have or what family and friends gave me. I haven't bought any such items for probably 10 years. I try to avoid plastic use as much as possible and recycle whatever I can. I have dozens of glass Mason jars that I use for everything!
I was waiting to hear about your silicone storage bags. I hate the ones with the slider tops. Wanted to hear your opinion. I want a different kind. Waiting for that video.
I planted some seed paper packaging that came with an Elate Cosmetics order. Squirrels dug it up just as the seeds were starting to sprout. 😭
That is so typical of squirrels!!
Just thought about you the last 2 days and hoped you uploaded 🥰 You hair looks amazing!
Ditto!! 😃
😊 thank you! I hope you enjoyed it xx
Growing and preserving your own food is probably one of the most sustainable and impactful things you can do!
💗💗💗 please follow up with your hair. It is looking absolutely beautiful!
Another great and insightful video! Also, I feel like I say this every video but your hair is SO dang beautiful in this video!
First of all, your hair looks amazing! For the tins, would you recommend them for multiple day hikes, we have take glass containers for all day hikes but they are heavy and we dont have any plastic Tupperware or stasher bags. We do have some plastic baggies from our non zero waste days for trail mix and such but cant use them for food items as they squish and I dont want to buy another items unless I need to.
For the seed paper, my cousin passed away a year ago and I wanted something special so i got cards for her immediate family and a few of my family on seed paper as memorial so they could plant them. I gave them two, one to plant and one I wrote on just in case they wanted to keep that one as they can be sentimental. I had a local lady special make them and they had a bird on them and she loved nature and her art business name was chickadee but it was a nice way to honor her and what she mean and my family loved it. I havent planted mine yet as I'm in a rental so once we are permanent I will and everytime I see it, i will be reminded of her and all her amazing qualities.
Linda McCartney pies are awesome

Wait you answered my question as I sent that comment !!
Your curl are beautiful. I go to a curl specialist also.
They're the only ones who seem to understand how delicate curly hair is! I got a dry cut and it was the first time ever! Will always recommend from now on xx
Blimey, your hair looks absolutely gorgeous!
Your hair looks glorious! 🥰
Thank you so much xx
Love the video, thank you for the info 👍🙂
i've plant 5 of those and only one has come out. To be honest I thin I didn't plant well the first 3 ones. I like the idea, but how many can I plant? If I don't pant them how do I recycle them?
