Hi there,
My name is Niamh and I have a BSc in Nursing Science. I make videos on simple, natural healthy living. I hope you enjoy! - Навчання та стиль
There is something so relaxing about seeing a kitchen that contains almost no plastic.
yeah I think the same too. x
Interesting fact but you are spot on! Plastic is too synthetic and dead. Natural materials have energy
Yes so true..
My kitchen is also 80% plastic free
Still I have to replace other 20%plastic containers
I just reorganized my parents’ pantry (living with them) and can’t wait to have my own *almost* zero waste kitchen.
I started using reusable glass jars for everything in the 1960's. Health food co-ops only had bulk in the 60's. I refuse to have a dish-washer/microwave/and few electric utensils. Actually, we were called 'back to the land' hippies and I live on a farm where I grow our organic food, heat with wood when possible and harvest wood from my wood-lot trees. It's everything I dreamed of as a little girl living in the city.
Gloria Wagener isn't that wonderful! It's such an abundant life isn't it! Going back to the way it use to be done years ago. Simply and with a richness. Very nice of you to share. X
Thank you, me too and friends. I like that younger people think it's all new😀
Gloria Wagener this sounds so cool! Thanks for sharing this. 😉 I dream of having my own land and doing this. I want to have a nice garden and a few animals. Not to eat though. I just love animals. I also been storing things in the jars from watching years of the food channel. I want a pretty tv kitchen.
I heard somewhere that it actually is more energy efficient to wash dishes in a dishwasher than by hand
miraggg I heard it the other way around. Eggs are bad, no, eggs are good, dish washers use less water, no they use more, the list of conflicting info is endless. By hand washing though you save on materials and manufacturing of the appliance and the energy it takes to produce them.
My friend taught me this great trick: she reuses the plastic mesh that comes in Brussels sprouts or cutie oranges to scrub her dishes in lieu of a sponge!
These tips are good.
Just to add, people from India practised these way before even these concepts are introduced.
The impact of Western way of life on the urban Indians did changed the life and living pattern, but still majority of us practice and follow our traditional way of life.
#sustainableliving is very much part of our culture.
Great that now the world doing the same.
Good luck.
And keep educating.
Thanks for your comment... India truly is naturally sustainable.. the western world has a lot to answer for!!
Yeah.. but unfortunately western culture has more influence on us nowadays
Totally agree with you.
So true we have been brought up with #sustainabilityliving style
I love that you mention to do the best you can and be aware!
My husband loves his condiments! So I'm learning to make them myself out of basic ingredients that we do keep on hand, and storing them in my glass jars. Plus, most condiments originated as naturally fermented digestive aids, and of course made of healthy ingredients, which are more great benefits of making your own. So you can be totally simple and low waste without giving up the taste and health benefits of those yummy condiments!
Not only is zero waste, it looks beautiful! Thank you.
Xinna SinPatria ah thanks. I like things to look pretty 💕
Wow! You have a baby Krishna photo kept on the shelf. 😀
We next to never use kitchen paper to clean up the kitchen. When I was a child, my mother used to donate most of my clothes when I had outgrown them, except for those that had been washed, worn, and loved so hard and often that it showed. She took those and cut them down to make reusable cleaning wipes out of them. If it's t-shirt fabric they don't even fray. I'm in my 30s now, and she still has a stash of those wipes. Cutting up old bedsheets to make cleaning wipes works as well, though you might have to hem them so they don't fray. They're especially good for cleaning windows.
Isn't that lovely. Your mother was a special one. It's amazing how we are reverting back to the older ways now. modern is not always best.
@@FairylandCottage that's true, though I think rejecting everything modern isn't necessarily the way to go either (not that I'm accusing you of doing so, no no no no!). For me, the best way to do it is to see and find out what works best for me in both modern and traditional ways, and kind of mix them up. I'm a fan of the old-fashioned washcloth and use reusable/washable make up remover pads, but a dishwasher is a necessity with my mum's illness. She doesn't always have the strength to do dishes, and I'm not always around to help. So we're doing the best we can - reducing/eliminating packaging and plastic as we go.
so well said! you have a great balanced attitude x
Thank you so much for all these wonderful ideas! Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?! Here I am at 68 re-learning from an Irish fairy how to better run my home! I ❤️ it!
Hi i use steel containers for storage and old clothes as wiping clothes like old camisole, scarf etc. We had a cover for our sofa after some years i am using it as doormats. U will these kind of things a lot in indian homes. Indian culture is all about minimalism as buddha told everything around us is produced by some amount of things from nature and some human energy. So we should use things until it can't be used again. use and throw culture should be eradicated to save our earth. Happy to see lord krishna in ur kitchen make sure he doesn't eat butter secretely from ur fridge 😀. Namaskaram 🙏 from bharat ( india). Btw great video. Bless u.
commando I love the sofa cover as a door mat!
Yes our society now is use and throw. It's is deeply ingrained. It is nice that you live in India. It is my favourite country.
And thanks I'll keep an eye on little Krishna! Hehe
Blessings from Ireland x
Wait please tell me more about Krishna eating butter from your fridge hahaa
@@songfreak1745 🙂. Krishna is a hindu god. When he was a kid he used to eat a lot of butter. In short he loves butter and his cute stories of stealing butter from his neighbouring homes are very heartwarming and popular in india. Namaskar 🙏
@@FairylandCottage happy to knw tht India is ur favorite country
This comment was so sweet!! :)
Thank you for making an informative and realistic video that doesn’t alienate anyone who isn’t “zero-waste enough”. I am definitely subscribing 💚
Ah Im delighted to hear you found it realistic! Zero waste is just a concept. We all just do our best with what we have to reduce waste.
My favorite quote I have found on my plastic-free/zero waste journey is
"We don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly."
I never even thought to fill up a thermos to keep my tea hot all day! Guess what I'll be doing this winter? Great video, Niamh.Thanks for the suggestions.
Doro woop woop I glad you got a new tip! X
Doro. Me too! That's a tip I'm adopting right now.
Doro , it is so funny, we Asians always use Thermos to keep drink warm and rarely use it for cold beverage.
Hello ! I was wondering where you got yours from, as it looks really good ! Love your videos ! Thank you
I never even thought about the zero waste life style but I find myself already doing all of the above ... I Also use Glass jars because they last longer and protect food longer , I use coton towels everywhere, especially at the table because I was brought up that way ... I rarely use plastic anything.
So nice that you were brought up that way! It use to be a natural way of living until plastic was invented.
I buy lose leaf tea in little metal tins that I reuse, which is super helpful since I don't have a good build up of containers
I love the idea of zero waste and actually as I have been reading through scripture I've seen that God calls us to minimalism and for good reason! I've never felt so relaxed than I have with owning less and making less waste. Great video!
Can you share some of the scriptures you've found?
i need to jump on the loose tea bandwagon. Can not believe where plastic can show up!!
Sara Archuleta yeah plastic shows up everywhere now! It's mad isn't it! X
Sara Archuleta Loose Leaf seems to taste better, too.
Can't believe plastic is in a tea bag .. that's terrible
Loose tea is uncomparable in taste with teabag ones; try Kusmi, Mariage Frères and Fortnum & Mason, best brands out there
not in every teabag. I have a brand in my country that doesn’t use plastic in their teabag and is made of bananaleafes which is compostable. but tbh loose tea you can consume the way you want. if you want to make a lot of tea or less its all in your hands^^
Love the aesthetic of your videos, they instantly put me in a state of relax and coziness. I find myself checking YT multiple times a week to see if your video is up in case I miss the notification. Thanks for taking the time to create them 🌿
Libretto Reviews that's such a lovely comment to receive and I appreciate you taking the time to write!
Thanks for your support. I'm really glad you get so much from the videos. X
Just hit the bell 🔔 icon and you receive notifications of new uploads.
Libretto Reviews I felt the same! Very relaxing to watch. Subscribed halfway through the video! 🌎❤️
To reduce waste I divorced my useless husband 😂
haha you're a funny one ;-)
😄💖
Lol
That was a good one 😂
Hahahaha STOP 👏👏
This is good solid simple timely advice that people can use to save money and help the planet. My parents lived simply and did not spend money on paper towels, they reused glass jars, had a garden, used old tee shirts for rags etc. Im always amazed how people do not compost food scraps but yet they buy soil for their planting in spring. It defies logic. It is a no cost way to improve soil and save money. Such simple changes have a big impact on the earth. Now my husband and I live this very simple life. We have so little trash and don’t have a dishwasher. We have become so conscious of our waste. We even have geo thermal heat and use a super energy efficient wood burning fireplace using our downed trees from our lot. It feels so good to live this way. The $3 monthly electric statement credit we get for our hot water heater from the electric company pays for our entire monthly air conditioning bills all summer long. So glad we invested in an energy efficient system in our northern climate. .
Thanks for sharing that with me... lovely to read... simple and satisfying... :-)
I was born in Moldova and my parents did it and me and my family is doing that, why so many people are trying it for first time. I like video, for me is nothing new but hope Young generation will take it)). Thank you anyway
Viktorya Tkach yes I have been doing for years like my grandparents. It is nothing new. It is actually going back to the way it was always done.
Thanks for watching x
I don't think that the zero waste lifestyle is anything new, rather people trying to lower their impact on the planet. Many societies rely heavily on materials that are fast, easy, and cheap - however people are starting to see that this is coming at a great cost to our environment.
Unfortunately in 🇺🇸 we dont think much of waste. The newer generations were born around convinence and media that tells us this "thing" smells great is easy to use and its disposable. We like that. Its so wasteful but we were born with that already in our culture. Thankfully more and more people are becoming aware just how much we are hurting the planet. Its hard for us to do the change but onw person makes a difference.
I really love how to organise your items in bottles, especially in the fridge. We don't have decompose bins here, but if I have vege, fruits skins decomposes, I will keep them as my garden organic fertilizers 😊
Gracious Treatz yes that's a great idea! We all do our best with the situation we have. Glass jars are just the easiest to store and there are always from uses coconut oil jars or other stuff. X
Being lucky enough to have a grandmother who a) had a WMF Shop and b) passed over everything to me... Never since I moved out in 1993 I had anything in plastic - despite a chopping board, which I exchanged for a bamboo one, when starting living zero waste in 2011... Its sooo easy nowadays as almost everything is available in my local organic shop for refill... Veggies and Fruits are delivered here by a local farmers cooperation every week, thex deliver what I order online... Wonderful!
Appreciate your dedication to avoid plastic, everybody should learn to do this.
you understand that the leaves of cauliflower is edible, right...wash them, chop them up and use in a stirfry ... even better than chopping them up and putting them into the compost bin...
skins of things like sweet potato...wash before peeling, dehydrate them and powder them for soups etc
peel of fruit...wash before peeling and most of it can be chopped finely, frozen and used as needed for biscuit flavouring or muffin flavouring or even in jams you make...
me heretoday that's great info. Thanks so much for sharing that. My other half doesn't like the cauliflower leaves so they end up being composted. X
Hey can you make vid showing us how
I couldn’t believe the leaves were edible! I was served a roasted cauli recently with the leaves still attached and they were so good, lovely and crispy. Now when I roast my own, the leaves get thrown in too! Never wasting them again 👍🏻😬
Fairyland Cottage I would never have thought to use the stalk in veggie stock, I’ll do that in future! Just started a bag of veggie scraps, mostly onion and garlic peelings, in my freezer so thanks for the tip!
@@FairylandCottage also if you have a piece of ctrus wash the peel and finely slice it... freeze for later use in marmalade or muffins cakes biscuits...
I keep apple and pear cores in freezer as well until I am going to jam make...boil strain and put strained bit into pot with jam fruit...helps set jams and doesnt change the flavour..
I try to use everything if I can 😊
Happy to see lord krishna in your kitchen
Love from India
Hare Krishna my friend
When I got my own place instead of buying new furniture I got my couch from the thrift shop and used a couch cover to make it the color I want. I know people who have gotten 3 couches since I got mine and its still just as comfortable as when I first got it. No idea how old it is. It has that old school flower print on it that all the grandmas had 😂
I love this couch man.
I love that you love your couch! life is good when you appreciate the simple things in life and you my dear, have got it!!
Freeze veg off-cuts for stock. Glass jars into the freezer with some space. These are new tips for me. Thanks
Ah nice Beth. x
Great video! I really try to avoid plastic food packaging, but that is my biggest 'zero-waste' struggle.
Michelle H o I think that is a zw struggle for everyone because plastic is everywhere and it means you have to either limit what you eat or shop around constantly looking for alternatives which are hard to find.
Me too. I hate it
Michelle, you can make some beautiful reusable bags for sandwiches and snacks as well as cloth which are covered on one side with bees wax for a more sustainable way for food packaging when you bring your lunch to work or need to cover the glass container, just use a sting to tie the cloth onto the bowl, or wrap your cheese in the cloth, fold it and voila, you will just have to wipe with a damp cloth, UA-cam has many vlog on the subject of making them that are compatible with your budget and skills. Good luck!
Same here.
So far I have investested in cloth produce and shopping bags, beeswax wraps, silicone freezer/snack bags, bamboo toothbrushes, stainless steel razors with refills, organic sustainably packaged soap and bar shampoo from a girl I know who makes it (I'll be buying her deodorant next) , vinegar and water for household cleaner... I still have a ways to go, but I've only been at it for a few short months. Channels like this are teaching me more about what I can do. There are some things where we live that we can't go completely plastic free with, whether it's because of availability or cost, and everyone in my house isn't on board with changing some of the things they love, but I'm trying the best I can.
I don't know why, but as soon as I clicked on your video, I was overcome with an overwhelming sense of calm and contentment. Thankyou. 🧡
Livla isn't that so lovely to hear. Thanks. I'm glad they are relaxing :-) x
Same
Your simplicity made me your fan.
Shout out from India. Krishna devotee (saw him in your kitchen)
hehehe Jaya Sri Krishna!
Love your channel. Doing my best to gradually do away with plastic and replace with glass. Thanks for your tips!
Beautiful photography too!
Thank you for the tipp with the glass containers for the freezer! 🙏🏻
ah you're welcome. good luck and I hope they don't break on you. x
Great tips! I do some of these but it’s always nice to get a gentle push back in the waste less direction! I go through so many sponges since I too don’t have a dishwasher and these scrubbers blew my mind! I had no idea they existed!
I watched a lot of video to prepared my own kitchen for zero waste life, this video still the best one. Really useful and helpful.
Great tips. Your kitchen looks amazing!
Keeping an organized fridge in general just promotes a healthy lifestyle and it helps to not buy the same products more than once.
so true!!
Love the tip about using roots for vegetable stock,that is amazing! Good use of otherwise wasted food.I have been wanting to stop buying premade broth too. I resonate with all those tips, especially condiments. I found i get overwhelmed easily, simplicity feels so much better in the end. I spent over a third of my monthly budget this month on condiments alone, including vegetable broth.I find spending on broth to be a waste, it bothers me but it makes food better.
I'm the same I get so overwhelmed easy so simplicity suits me well x
I love the background color on the backsplash area. And the tall jars covering the wall plugs. I try to cover mine too for esthetics .
Love all of the containers 😍😍😍
Glitter_bug86 oohh thanks! Nothing like glass jars to make a kitchen look pretty 😆❤️
Hi, makes me feel very glad that I left using plastic many years ago. I think In doing fine :). And will use a thermo jar ti keep hot water all day, thanks, its a great idea!!!!
Nice job! good on ya.. you are doing great!
We do all of these except for the wooden scrubby - thanks for the info! These aren't strictly kitchen ideas but someone might find them useful: When our kids really stain or rip their cotton clothes, we cut them up for cleaning cloths. When we can't avoid getting produce in bags (grapes! potatoes!) we reuse them when we buy produce again. We eventually wind up with plastic grocery bags, so I crochet them into new bags.
skyethebard wow you're a pro. How do you make the plastic bags into new bags? That sounds cool!
Thanks for wonderful suggestions 🙏👌
Love all of these ideas!! I am going to start using cloth napkins instead of paper immediately.
Hannah Herrick so simple. I wash them altogether in a bag every month or so. X
You can use clothes that have got too worn as well. If they get to the point where they aren't wearable any more, just cut them into squares and use them for cloths.
I have a big collection, and like to pick them up at antique shops-I have some lovely linen ones. I keep them folded in a basket.
Omg..I love LOVE your baby Krishna sitting on the vent-hood! Sweet little butter thief!
When I was young all of my family drank tea apart from myself so mum had a really large thermos she filled which had a pump type lid on it and she sat it on the bench to save boiling the kettle so often. We have free range chickens so they eat most of our scraps and anything else like potato peelings we put in a compost heap. We also have a worm farm which we can put vegetable scraps in too. Also old odd socks or ones with a hole are great for dusting as you can put them over your hand making it quicker and easier. xx
Thanks ! I like glass wares. God bless you 🙏
Thanks to your advice on a previous video, I bought a hot flask, and it has been brilliant! Also the condiments, they take up so much room, even when you buy them in glass, my fridge seems full of condiments! Such a good video as always 👍
brilliant! delighted you found value in the tips. I keep getting jams as gifts and I'm trying to eat my way through them all!
We love to bake thumbdrop cookies with our jams and recently husband has been serving pancakes with syrups he has made from fruit condiments. Salad dressing twists are delicious, too. Just discovered cocktail recipes using jams as well, will try this holiday season.
Very useful thank you, love the aesthetic 😍 very pleasant watch😊
J Jay I'm glad to hear you found it useful and pleasing to watch x ❤️💕
Despite a lot is already known, STILL something new! Nice video, thanks!
Thank you for sharing such wonderful ideas!!!
Thanks YOU for watching and commenting!!
If you're in Australian cities and can't compost, you can use the app "Share Waste" and find someone who does have a compost bin and is happy to take your waste.
oh wow, I love that. I've never heard of it. We share most of our scraps with the neighborhood animals/birds/squirrels. They eat almost everything. Our dog comes out and helps to share. He loves helping, you can tell. He often checks the area to see if it's been eaten.
love it !!
Homestead Tessie ah brilliant! Thanks for watching x
Thank you so much for getting down to the list and being so specific! Brilliant, you just gained a new subscriber.
I just loving your kitchen and the way you organised things.😍
I love how calming your videos are. The aesthetic is so wonderful! I was just wondering if you bought the dish scrubber online or at a shop somewhere? I am having a hard time finding one with no plastic. 😌 Keep doing what you are doing! 💚
Meredith Frigo thanks Meredith! I must put all my calm into the videos and run out of it in my life 😂 ;-)
If you live in Ireland you can get a Copper scrubbers from some zero waste grocery markets. I try not but online unless it a last resort. Send me your address on Instagram direct msg and I'll post one out to you. I have a spare one.
Another great video and great tips. I do most of these except I still use a sponge in the kitchen. Hard habit to give up. I love the dispenser you use for your kitchen cloths. 😊
Tina Lemna ah thanks! You're a super eco friendly person! Have you seen coconut fibre scrubbers they might work for you, but we all have a thing we like and can't get rid of!
Fairyland Cottage I’ve not seen those. I’ll have a look. I had a friend visit this summer and we were grocery shopping and I forgot my bag. She couldn’t believe I made both of us carry the groceries to the car in our arms but I said that’s the price we pay for forgetting! 😘
Maistic is a brand that has plastic-free sponges, made of natural material, there are great! (they also have a lot of other plastic-free cleaning items)
haha I usually stuff everything in my handbag and the strap looks like its going to break! hehe x
Thank you. I have much to learn and change.
I was amazed to see everything on your list was our kitchen growing up (India) till the economy opened up to companies flooding the market with stuff and implicating existing ways as backward.
Your tips are so common sensical & simple , and made me realize how hard it would be for some places to live with less waste! The deck's stacked against you.
So nice of you to share!
frootify very true. The deck is stacked against you!
Keeping it simple and using what we already have is key and adopting the old ways helps too because they were more sustainable.
Ur hair gorgeous n u believe in loard krishna👍👍
*Lord
I really love bal Gopal photo on the kitchen...
These are useful swaps for plastic!
I’m so happy that I’ve found a bunch of 0 waste you tubers, it really helps make the process of going 0 waste a lot easier😁
Ah great to hear and if you need any assistance just ask .xxx
kishan in your kitchen 😇😇😇🤗🤗
Had to comment for Krishna in the kitchen! Haribol
It may feel more virtuous to wash by hand, but its more wasteful.
You use up to 27 gallons if water per load by hand, versus as little as 3 gallons with an energy Star-rated dishwasher 🤷
Saludos desde España
hey there! yeah I've read that statistic but I only use about 2 to 3 gallons max in my sink. I think the gallons clock up when you are running the water to wash dishes constantly or if you have a large family. Saying that, there are great energy efficient dishwashers these days that are far more energy efficient. I would need a bigger kitchen though to fit it. haha :-)
I hand wash. The first month of doing so, my water bill was higher. I tweaked my technique and now it's back to just as low as when I had a dishwasher.
Good grief = 27 gallons of water per load ! don't be ridiculous !! that would fill a bath !! I use a washing up bowl that holds one gallon and that does the job. Sometimes I don't use that much. you must have an awful lot of washing up !!!
I think that's fake information to get people to buy dishwashers !!
Bruh, if you use up to 27 gallons just to wash dishes, you need to take a class on dishwashing with my mother cuz she’d smack your ass up for using that much water.
@@FairylandCottage Also the energy to heat up the water, and all those little containers of dishwasher soap.
Wonderful tips, thank you. The soft plastic packaging is my main issue, though I did recently purchase my oats in a large cardboard box. Unfortunately I don't have a bulk produce store near me, but I'm doing whatever I can to reduce waste. Love from Australia. 💞
Thank you so much 😊 awesome love it! 👍❤️️
U have a baby krishna's picture in ur kitchen 😀 It's beautiful btw
Jo B well spotted! Little wooden picture I got in my Indian travels. X
@@FairylandCottage 😊😊
Be careful what you bring home from trips abroad ..some are demonic
@@sarahwanyoike2954 Krishna, though he is sometimes called the Dark One, is not actually demonic!
I love this, but I was thinking of what happens to all our plastic food storage if we all change over to glass 🤔 As much as I love the glass look, I'm not sure I could send all my plastic ones to landfill😕
Jo N I'm the same. I've got loads of plastic ones too. They are in an older video. I keep them also. Some of them have broken so they had to go to landfill. So sad to think the plastic will be around forever!
Replace them with glass when they actually need replacement or donate them/give them to a friend
Good point! I just donate them to a thrift store. Some of them my husband uses for nails & parts in his workshop.
The problem with the glass ones I see, they have horrible rubber tops and everything else is now the bended fold up snap closure ones. I figure I will continue to use the ones that I have that are plastic until they wear out. Some are just now doing that after almost 15 years.
@@FairylandCottage Just don't buy new and donate what you don't use or can be replaced with more eco friendly versions. I too have a lot of plastic including Tupperware, Rubbermaid brands all were bought in thrift stores and as I try to replace with better items I will redonate so they have more shelf life instead of being thrown away. It takes time to rededicate your life to zero sustainability but if we all make a conscious effort people will buy less and less plastics and the manufacturers will hopefully stop producing so much of it. I am learning more and more watching these videos. Anna In Ohio.
Lovely voice. Very glad for it. Thanks for the tips.
Great tips! Thank you 😊
all great tips, thank you again for taking the time to make these videos. also your home looks so cozy and calm id love for you to share more. cheers! ^_^
Joy Meows thanks Joy, thanks for watching. My simplify your home video has more of my home. X
Where did you get your hot flask and kettle from?
they were in the shop Aldi. They have some brilliant things.
Probably British.
Beautiful kitchen! I like the tips and the straight to the point delivery, some UA-camrs tend to have boring two minutes intros and dragged out explanations for obvious.
Aga Kuleta ah thanks for the compliment. Appreciate it.
Great tips, thank you ☺
I am using a worm bin in the kitchen. All of the organic waste that I can´t use to make something else is going in there. It doesn´t smell at all if closed. If opened it smells like forest soil. My worms eat the scrabs and produce worm humus which I am using to fertilize my raised vegetable beds.
It consists of three floors. When the floor at the top is nearly full the bottom floor is ready to be harvested. I will harvest the worm humus and then put the now empty floor on top to continue feeding the worms with kitchen scrabs. When this floor is nearly full again the lowest floor is ready to be harvested again. And so it continues: I feed the worms in the top floor and harvest the bottom floor when the top floor is full.
It is really nice and reduces my kitchen scrabs a lot because I can feed the worms everything that hasn´t been cooked, prozessed and/or spiced. In goes: Scrabs from tomatoes, old leaves of salat, scrabs of vegetables that have already signs that they are about to start rotting. And I can feed handkerchieves, kitchen tissues or even the cartons eggs come in. So: less waste and a lot of biologic fertilizer for the vegetables in my garden. :)
Loonee that's absolutely wonderful! You are great. It is so great to do the wormery inside.
That is great. But it sounds like a lot of work to me as I’m a novice.
Your voice sounds like you're crying 😢
0la alhmood 😆 that's hilarious. I must seem like I'm crying all day long to other people too! 💕
0la alhmood if necessary to said That ! please learn what she said
She is great !!!!
I love her accent and voice, it sounds happy to me.
Sounds like she is crying and then laughing.....
I appreciate all of your videos.
I appreciate you watching xxx
Very useful tips, thank you sister
Very informative video. I definitely will use some of your tips
Great tips! Thanks for sharing. I love zero waste topics as I am trying my best to shift our life in that intentional living direction.
ah nice to hear. keep it simple and reuse what you have in every way possible! hehe :-)
Great and relax video, thanks for your time, i really appreciate i’ll try not use sponges anymore! Salute from Italy!
thanks! every little counts. love to Italy xxx
Lovely video. Most things I already do. But some new things too. Thanks a bunch!!!!

I really love it. Thank you very much!
thanks for watching xxx
Hello ! Thank you for posting this video . I have been doing most of these things for some time now an I have to say it’s made my life much easer an happier I even have my teenager learning these ways.
Nicole Pasquale isn't that wonderful. Your teenager will copy what you do especially if you love doing it, which you seem to!
Watching this video gave me such a positive vibe. Thank you.
Thanks for sending the positive vibes my way too!
THANKS FOR THE TIPS VERY USEFUL ,AS I DID CLEANING EVERYDay 😊😊😊
Great tips. I pretty much do a lot of what you mentioned but you did give me some new ones. I made my own swiffer cloths out of a $3 Ikea fleece blanket. I have dogs so after swiffering , I take a cleaning brush and brush off the hair and any debris/crumbs (so it won’t clog up my washing machine. Saves a lot of money too 👍. Thanks for sharing 😊
Nice idea! yeah don't want to clog up the washing machine! :-)
If you are just getting started in zero waste, visit my Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/CreamlineCottage. I design inexpensive zero waste items from salvaged, discounted, or reclaimed materials!
Love the video! I have a dehydrator so I can make creative tea blends with many options. A lot of tea ingredients can just be foraged. The dehydrator can also help preserve produce and I also use it to create all natural garlands of things like orange slices and bayleaves for the holidays. I also have a glass popcorn maker that goes in the microwave (we experimented with no microwave and my son who is dangerously skinny ended up eating less so I replaced it).
haha Thanks !!
Yeah I have always thought about buying a dehydrator except for the room needed to store it. Our kitchen is sooo tiny.
Isn't it wonderful to forage for teas and herbs! I dried my orange slices last year in the oven, I nearly burnt them! lol
Mom life is getting your kid to eat anything isn't it! My sister lived on popcorn because she wouldn't eat anything else!
Have you ever thought of doing popcorn on the stove?
I think our kitchen is smaller than yours lol. The dehydrator lives in our poor excuse for a coat closet lol!
I love this video and your tips! One thing I haven't taken up yet is composting but I'm looking into it
Michaela Hutchison it's easier than you think once you have a bit of outdoor space! Otherwise you can do an indoor wormery. But I think this is slightly more complicated.
