Chalkboard labels -- good idea! :)

I do the same except with Pickle Jars..lol

Thank you!!!!

Thanks! Great idea!

I do this with Adam's Peanut Butter jars. The jars can go in the dishwasher.

I think she does this to support small businesses 😢

@@monicamraz5845 such a queen i love her

Literally same! She would kill it!

I had the exact thought

I feel like she would make the whole family matching t-shirts or something and I'm 1000% here for it lol

And for ingredients that have short shelf life, like baking powder, best to discard the old altogether.

That's a great idea!

This idea is so good.

Literally thinking this!!!!

The jars are good to protect from moisture and moths though

​@winnielou8206 but moths and mold wont happen in a trip to the grocery store... They were talking about refilling the plastic bags instead of taking the whole ass jar. You can place it in the jars when you arrive home ....

Or just use more narrow labels. Then they will not bunch up as much on the limited flat surface space.

Ya

Or get a Cricut so you don’t have a background, just the letters in any font you want.

That won’t work.

@@PaulaStorm Mia definitely should get a cricut. ❤️ It would be great for organization and even for making some things for the wedding. It’s time consuming though but I love my cricut! Would save her ordering all this stuff. But I think she likes supporting Etsy small businesses that make these things, and it saves her the time making it herself.

I use a water soluble marker made for glass (they’re actually not hard to find at all. Lots of chalk markers work too) to mark the content and expiration dates on my containers (which are actually plastic but it works the same on all smooth surfaces so that doesn’t matter). Would totally recommend for anyone reading this. You won’t need anything else like labels or tape, and it can be wiped off with a cloth or when you’re washing them so it’s easy to change, but it also still stays on good enough that it won’t just wipe off like a dry-erase marker (tested those before I found the glass marker).

@@choddle8427 I do that too. I like the way I can easily switch out labels if I change what's inside each jar. I personally use either chalkboard markers or grease pencils instead of specialized glass markers though

This 🙈 she didn't write any expiry dates on anything but feel like she may just be someone that does 'the sniff test' on things rather than go by dates (though I'm not sure if you could really do that with flour? 😂) just easier to write the dates on things imo but each to their own I guess!

@@choddle8427 thanks for sharing! I didn't know about the markers. And I think everyone wants to use labels because of aesthetic reasons. They look pretty 🙈.

@@lucylulululu haha I don't know if the sniffing method is accurate 😂 but as we are talking about Mia, she could totally be doing that. Love her 😂♥️

This is specially important for people like me, vertically-challenged (5'). Pulling heavy stuff off a high shelf hurts!

Gaskets!

at first i read big difference in conversation and i got confused 🥲

@@AiKaMoSa same :D:D

Lol same here i was like ok... and than i re read it

That’s the comment I was looking for! 😅

Just what I wanted to say. Thanks

I agree , I do that too. 😊

Yes! Just wanted to say that! Thanks.

I have a vintage cabinet and the middle door doesn't open and there is no hook or latch. It's just attached and there.

If the middle door can be opened, you will see hinges to the left or right of the door. Couldn't see any, so it's probably not to open.

@@rakischmidt7032 oops! Didn't see that.

Works on cookies too to keep them from getting hard ! :)

Does the bread ever get moldy?

@@lindsaynicole8967You would switch out the bread before it got mouldy! Otherwise your brown sugar would be toast (garbage) and we wouldn’t want that! 😊 EDIT:

There are also products you can buy that work the same way if you don't wanna use bread. We used to use the butt/heel of the bread, but we bought a little circle from pampered chef that works the same way. 👍

Was just coming to write this! Our bread never got mouldy because it takes all the moisture out of the bread. We did change the bread every once in a while though to be fair

And change the glass out. We rebuilt a Hoosier and the glass was really ugly. Found some swirled glass used in stained glass projects. Fit perfect. Our Hoosier is now a Boosier holding our wine, liquor and supplies. Great conversation piece!

I was thinking the same thing too lol

Same lol

I literally started the video over because I thought I missed something 😂

I prefer the quick intro, a bit tired of the exciting video intro tbh, been skipping it more often than not these days :/

haha thats funny, I think I like her excitement just jumping strait in, and I'm happy for her to not be stuck to one intro anymore! Wahoo!!

I was thinking this exactly!

Or even just remove it completely.

I just got a heart from Mia I'm gonna pass out 🤯🤯🥰❤️

yes, THIS!!! Thank you for addressing it!

This!!!!

Yes. Avery has some fantastic labels and the templates that match.

She put the terracotta sugar bear in the jar. You soak it in water and it keeps your sugar moist and soft.

I needed this tip!! Trying it right now.

Thank you so much for this!!! ❤

Aw this is so sweet 💖

As well as fusion or chalk paint it

@@bbowers5049 yesssssss i dont like the brown

@night fall wait yes!! Hope she sees this!

This a joke I don't understand ? (I'm gonna just assume yes this was a joke,, since she said it's the name of a homemade recipe she DIY mixed together with chemicals at home herself.)

@@mint0zs on the recipe, it showed “Thieves essential oil” as an ingredient so it must be a brand or something

@@annapruitt5546 got it thank you I didn't catch that

@@mint0zs pretty sure that Thieves is a trademarked name from Young Living. Was not meant as a joke but rather as a statement. Personally I find supporting MLMs to be a negative thing, especially young living. For the record there's nothing wrong with using essential oils I'd just recommend getting them from a small business or something that is not an MLM company. Hope that answers your question. 🧡

Or small... I am pretty sure she is younger than me 😅

Or small, since I'm 4 years older than her

Mila probably is an awesome sister, but i wouldnt trade my siblings for anything

Hi 😍 love your tip, when can I get the glass markers? Sorry searched on amazon and only found paint markers?

@@abrienaSE I just bought it on Amazon but I've also seen them in bookstores. Mine is from the brand Stabilo, but there's plenty of options. It doesn't have to be a for glass specifically even, chalk markers for example work great too, so a paint marker could probably work too as long as it is water soluble 😊 Hope it helps!

I do this too but with old tea trays. It works great on my spice shelf

You're smart! What a good idea!

Yes I’m confused which house she’s in or if this is an old video

Me too even in this vid I swear she was in like three different kitchens haha!

She has two kitchens in the new house, lol. One downstairs and one upstairs.

@@jillypepper_ thankyou for this!! My OCD was killing me because i couldnt figure out where this was

I was literally panicking cause I was trying to figure out where she was.

Yes! I use non-permanent markers made for glass too (it works for my plastic containers too - just a tip for anyone reading) to mark what the content is and the expiration date. I really wanted to be able to mark the expiration dates but doing it with labels seems like a hassle so I did some research and decided on glass markers. It stays on good enough for regular use (although I probably wouldn’t want to rub on the text hard) but can come off with a wet cloth or when you’re washing them.

I have some with a screw on lid and some where you have this like a clasp (You know these where old people had pickled veggies and fruits in, these with a clasp) and I also have rectangular tall plastic containers where the lid is pink with white stars on it. The plastic containers are for sugar and flour. Those with the clasp are for puffed spelt, rice and pasta, than I have a tiny one with a clasp for vegetable broth powder, those with the screw on lid are for muesli/cornflakes altho one with the screw on lid was sold as a bonbon jar. I put pink stickers on them where there are 3 lines to write on and I wrote on the middle row what they are used for. The cute thing is that these sticker have rhaspberries with a smiling face on it. I also decorated my jars (not the plastic containers) with stickers that look like cartoonish fruits (buth with no borders drown on the fruits) and I also have plastic containers in my fridge to keep stuff organized where I put those fruity stickers on since the pack had soooo many stickers in it. I also have a pink storage-solutuion inside of my cupboard that is ment to store powerd-bags/soup-bags wich has different parts to devide sections it wich is nice so I store in this pink think my backing surplies and ramen noodles haha. I also havr a big box with 6 different compartments for tea

I think I saw her put one in 🤔 not sure if she had soaked it before

She added the terracotta sugar bear (soaked in water) which preserves the moisture. Works great. :)

another video 🥰🥰🥰 i can't tell you how much you inspire me Mia love u so much ❤️❤️

You should look up expiration dates and that they are just "best by" dates. They don't mean much

And lot numbers in case of recalls

@@LostMatcha that's not true for many products. baking ingredients can lose their effectiveness. certain products can literally grow mold and make you sick and you can't see it. natural or organic ingredients (like a lot of what mia uses) actually do expire faster because they're made without all the preservatives you'd typically find which allow a product to last past the date.

yes, was going to say that if you cut the excess and then create a few "slits" you can get the labels to lay flat!

I was like noooooooo 😅

I'm big into the anti-mlm content and you're right that Thieves can be MLM garbage but you can also buy non-mlm essential oils and make your own thieves. It's just a mixture of essential oils to make it. Hopefully that's what Mia is doing😊

@@MandaPanda0929 Yes, I suppose that is true. I know that YL has largely cornered the "Thieves market," so that is what I thought of immediately.
