Cancel the Box and never get it again.

If you put a few drops of dish soap, hot water, and a few paper towels in your freshly, spaghetti stained Tupperware, put the lid on and shake it around --- the greasy stains will come out. It's a pre-wash tip that actually works 😊

Agreed 💯

​@@lovethehotmess4251 this.

Agreed it's okay overpriced crap. And also the Tupperware hack is legit.

Right, like girl, do you even need to ask??? Lol

YASSSSSS

Same!!!

It's an LLC called Retention Brands Alltrue. They're the company that just bought Birchbox as well. The company didn't exist two months before the Alltrue crap happened last year. One of Retention Brands' partners, Chris Davis, used to be the CEO of Loot Crate. And the sole employee of Retention Brands, Ryan Hibbard, was the vice president of finance and strategy at Loot Crate (a geek and fandom-inspired subscription box service) until 2018. A year later, Loot Crate went bankrupt. Another company started by Hibbard after he left Loot Crate, Bud Crate, was suspended by California’s Franchise Tax Board for not paying taxes, according to the state’s Secretary of State database.

That's honestly a great idea. 👌🏿

I thought the same thing for a second! 😂

Didn't click for me til I read your comment, so 🙃😅

Wait really? I thought the same as you 😅 So she has a store? What does she sell?

That could be pretty cool.

And add different colored daisies!!

Came to comment about tie dyeing the back pack but someone beat me to it, lol.

I imagined tiny button pins and patches

That's exactly what I was thinking too!!

That is such a good point, I didn’t even think about not being able to reheat the food easily!

Yeah when I saw them I thought, they can be useful if for a trip I want to pack home made desserts, or quick snacks that can be eaten cold (like balls of pizza dough with filling). But for a regular lunch I don't think everyone likes cold food

A real tiffin set keeps food warm for 4 hrs or so.

I have to tell you I love my stainless steel stuff but I will also reheat that right on my gas stove cuz it's stainless steel and it can handle it That is as long as they handles are stuck on the lid otherwise that would be a tailbreaker

@@kestendavis8753 Tail breaker? Did you mean deal breaker or is this a saying I just haven't heard? Just genuinely curious 😊🙆🏻‍♀️

I think people are so conditioned to poor quality slave labour garments and accessories and the associated prices . I was looking at ethical socks and they're about 10e a pair. But I guarantee if people who could afford them bought them they'd treat them a lot better. Organic cotton isn't cheap and I'd rather pay 100e for a bag I'd it was ethically made

Agreed! I wouldn't buy the boxes, and I certainly wouldn't advertise their business by making videos about their boxes.

And it goes so much further back! When it was causebox they screwed so many people over, took money with no refund then took 3-6 months to send the box, with no communication, multiple times I hear, then rebranded as all true. Likely also so they wouldn’t have the brand tied to philanthropy and and good causes anymore and could focus on profit and screwing people over.

Yes thank you!

I even saw a coat marketed as "vegan wool" once. It was polyester, not even a blend and not even recycled material, priced like it was real wool 💀 worst green-washing I have ever seen.

I blame Stella McCartney. I never heard of the term until that black "vegan leather" bag with the silver chain that everyone was obsessed with came out and it was SO pricey for being literal plastic. They still sell it and it's over $1200 now. I thought the $400/$500 was bad 13 years ago...

@@letsalltakeawalk6906 vegan wool is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of 😭😭😭😭

​@@aplesauceimthebossThank you for telling me where this started. It's been pleather my whole 36 years of life, so I was so confused when it all of a sudden was being called vegan leather!

It's also less sustainable than actual leather goods because it's poor quality and (usually) petroleum based.

😂😂 💯

Yes, fast fashion has really desensitized people to how much it costs to create things ethically.

That's exactly what it is. I noticed it as soon as she pulled it out... backpack to tote bag.

Like the classic (expensive) Fjällräven Tote 😊

Same!

Seriously, I was scammed out of a brand new year subscription and an $84 marketplace order! They should be ashamed! I also received that silverware set before they scammed us!

I was also an annual member who got scammed!

Or even being paid.

I thought the exact same thing. No one can consciously compare prices at Temu or stores like TJ Maxx and account for ethical production.

Yeah but cutting boards can be made very automated

Exactly, ethically sourced products will always be priced higher than mass manufactured items.

same thing with the bag. If someone took 4 hours to make that (pattern drafting, cleaning the material, cutting out the pieces, stitching, finishing, adding the hardware) at $15/hr (minimum wage in my state) that's $60 in wages plus ~$10 for ethically sources materials leaves only $28 profit (which also covers the value of the expertise of the crafter) Whilst I totally understand the whole "this doesn't look expensive"/"I could find this for cheaper" argument, fast fashion has truly desensitized people to how expensive fair-wage work actually is

Question: Is it okay to use bleach if raw meat touches a wooden board?

As a woodworker myself, I have to disagree with the suggestion to use olive oil on cutting boards as it is light-sensitive and will go rancid very easily. Mineral oil is industry standard and about a tenth (or less) the price.

✋️ olive oil?! No. Mineral oil. Always. Cooking oils are a huge NO. Maybe beeswax if you want. Plz educate yourself.

​@@keawarren hot water and dish soap is all you need. Dont use bleach.

@@jleighwolfe Many folks have strong reactions to mineral spirits or the ingestion of mineral spirit oil. Olive and Chestnut oils have been used on hardwood boards for hundreds of years in Germany. Which is where I was a carpentry and woodworking apprentice for years before moving to the states. And yes I have a military American father and a German father. So I hold dual U.S. and German Citizenship. Perhaps you could research traditional wood treatments used by early and current Europeans. You might discover some interesting info and perhaps other ways of successful wood preservation methods. I absolutely agree about beeswax as is it a great sealant and can keep wood water resistant as well as preserved. However I have discovered many with honey or pollen sensitivities actual have a small chance at having an allergic reaction up to anaphylactic shock. Which I find too risky. Even listing that on my website with a warning ⚠️ is not always helpful to buyers. As we all know some folks just overlook warnings. Anyhow thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's much appreciated. Have a wonderful day my friend.

Like usual what starts out as a cool, unique idea quickly gets swallowed up by greedy capitalism.

Works on anything that has an oily residue/base.

Laude the Label isn't new. They used to be Tribe Alive, but rebranded like a year or so ago, which is maybe why you aren't familiar with the name. I think their products seem a bit more plain now than before they rebranded, but if you read about them, it seems like they're legit ethical. They include info about where they source their materials, what they pay their employees, working conditions, etc on their website. Seems about as legit as an ethical brand can be. Not that I'm going to buy a $200 plain linen dress lol, but the brand ethics deserve some respect!
