I share what you have stopped buying since going zero waste. #thezerowastefamily #sustainableliving #zerowastefamily #zerowasteliving ...

Plastic is everywhere, and it’s harming our planet, wildlife, and even our health.

It can feel overwhelming… but reducing plastic doesn’t have to mean doing everything perfectly. It just means starting with what’s doable. 💚

Here are 10 simple swaps that have worked for our family:

1️⃣ Reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones.
2️⃣ Cloth shopping bags in the trunk (and purse!).
3️⃣ Bar soap, shampoo & conditioner bars — no plastic bottles.
4️⃣ Bring your own coffee cup (bonus: discounts ☕).
5️⃣ Beeswax wraps instead of cling film.
6️⃣ Reusable bamboo cutlery for lunches & car rides.
7️⃣ Stainless steel safety razor — no more plastic disposables.
8️⃣ Plastic-free, paper-wrapped toilet paper.
9️⃣ Compostable scrubbers & wooden dish brushes.
🔟 Refill shampoo, soap & detergent whenever possible.

None of this happened overnight. We just started with one swap… then another.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to begin.

Which swap feels easiest for you right now?

Snowflakes are falling outside ❄️ but inside, new life is already beginning 🌱

While winter does its thing, my seeds are tucked into the soil, quietly preparing for the season ahead. There’s something magical about planting in the cold, a reminder that growth doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.

Here’s to fresh starts, muddy hands, early mornings, and a garden full of possibility. 🌿

This year’s growing season… I’m ready for you. 🌼🌞

Back in my favorite seat, watching the world roll by 🚆💚

After the best few days up north with my favorite human, I’m officially settled in for the journey home, train mode activated, snacks ready, heart full.

Today’s travel essential? My zero-waste snack stash. Packed in reusables, no plastic in sight, and somehow it tastes even better knowing I’m keeping things kind to the planet. Sustainable travel just hits different.

There’s something about choosing the train — slower, softer, greener, that makes the whole trip feel intentional. Less rush, more views. Less waste, more care.

Who else loves a scenic, snack-filled, sustainable journey? ...

Can you relate? Lol

Almost 2 months into my no-buy project and honestly… it’s going SO much better than I expected 🙌

I thought it would feel restrictive, but it’s actually been freeing.

✨ Eating the food we already have instead of “running to the store for one thing”
✨ Using up cleaning + personal care products before buying more
✨ Making my coffee at home
✨ Getting creative with homemade gifts
✨ Walking more instead of paying for public transportation everywhere

We also do free activities, growing food indoors and write everything down: money in and money out.

Not only am I saving money, but I’m realizing how much we already have. It’s simpler, less cluttered, and way less stressful than I imagined.

It’s wild how much abundance was already sitting in my pantry and cabinets.

Anyone else doing a no-buy right now? Or thinking about starting one? I’d love to hear what’s been hardest (or easiest) for you 👇#thezerowastefamily #nobuychallenge #nobuy #moneyfreedom ...
