That is a funny story, Mary! I'm glad your colleague got her keys back, but .....ewwwww! LOL! Love the gift she got! Not only functional, but good for a laugh as well! :D

Hahah I love that! 😂💕 I know my dad has always had a cork in his keys in case he lost them when sailing - similar energy 🙏

Yes yes yes 😍✨🎁

I was just thinking to do the same and before writing the comment I read yours 🖤

@@atzanda do it!! It's super fun!

I've never made Frankensoap but I have an exfoliating sisal mitt with a draw string, where you can just put the little scraps in

I did not know this! Thanks for sharing about having it arrive unwrapped! I have gotten a couple of boxes already, but now I will go in and request the change!

Do you know how to do this? , I'd love to get some unwrapped but I cant find how to do it on the site

@@ginnymarch hey you, i just checked and i cant find it anywhere anymore either. They must have changed it again, i'm not sure. I am not using them anymore because I moved back to germany and wanted to use a product that is regional. I am now using oecolife toiletpaper which comes in bulk as well and it not wrapped :)

Aw shucks, I went to check out Naturolly toilet paper you mentioned and looks like they are shutting down due to the supply chain issues and inflation costs. So sad! We have to make sure we support the other brands before they disappear too!

That depends on how you wash. We lived on a boat where fresh water was extremely limited. We saved all our dishes to be done at the end of the day. We used maybe a 1/4 cup of water in a bowl and a bit of liquid soap with nothing in it to harm us or the creatures under our keel. We used a cotton rag, that looked surprisingly like the crochet one. We wet the rag in the bowl and washed all the dishes with the soapy rag. After we stacked all the dishes on a drying rack and pumped out roughly 2 cups of fresh water and rinsed them. Capturing the run off for our plants (had herbs in little pots).

Yeeeees sing with me!!!! 🥂🎶

I sing the l’il song too. I also do the finger actions. It’s so much fun!!

Yeah that wouldn't actually be possible in a building like this one, there are also several steps and stairs even to the first floor, and no ramp or lift. The city has build new disability-friendly apartments, and other apartments might be better for sure, but with older ones, user-friendliness is rarely incorporated into the initial design 😐

Haha it was an everyday-kinda tragedy 😂👌

great minds think alike! 😎🎁✨

I was MORTIFIED 😂

I just wash them with my clothes, they come out looking neat and clean 🙏☺️

It is coming, I just filmed it today 😍

@@Gittemary yay!!

I think it's to keep the paper from getting dusty. If they send you 48 rolls at a time, and you use half the amount of toilet paper than normal because of your bidet attachment, those rolls will be sitting for a while. No one wants to wipe their butt with dusty toilet paper.

@@sophiaazevedo4013 I wonder if they could offer an option-wrapped or unwrapped, whatever the customer would prefer?

There are brands out there who offer rolls without individual wrapping and just come tightly packed in a box. Who give a crap say it’s for hygiene purposes but I get my loo roll unwrapped in a box and just keep the box shut unless I’m getting a new one out, so it doesn’t get dusty or dirty, and haven’t had any problems. I think they do it for the aesthetics mostly, it certainly seems to have worked because the brand has become soooo popular! The fact they give away so much money to charity is great but if you can find a company who produces loo role in your own country and doesn’t use individual wrapping then I think that’s better, less carbon footprint. I’m in U.K. and who gives a crap has to be shipped from other side of the world! I use Tŷ môr and Boxroll

I’ll boil them and it’ll be fine 😂

Thank you for staying around 😍❤️

That is sadly not a problem you are alone with, I have made a video about how to talk to people who might not believe in the same sustainability initiatives as you, hopefully that can help 💚🌿 lots of love and thank you for watching!

Same here! My husband has no objections to anything I do to be more eco-friendly, but doesn’t himself take any initiative to make any changes. But there are things you can do that can make an impact, and they aren’t things you need him to do too. It depends a lot on what your living situation is and how you divide the labor at home. I’m fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom, which gives me control over groceries and home upkeep- almost the entire source of our household’s waste. My husband actually really likes some of the initiatives I’ve incorporated because he can see that A) we save money and B) I’m happier and more fulfilled at home this way. Not everyone has that arrangement, but take inventory of what you have in your control vs. what is outside of your control and focus on integrating one thing at a time. Even if your husband was 100% on board with completely overhauling your lives to be the most sustainable possible, you still could only make changes one small step at a time. So start with what you can and see what sticks. I just stopped buying paper towels and plastic bags, and use more washcloths and reusable containers instead. I make one extra portion of every dinner and pack it for his lunch (minimizing the plastic waste/financial drain of fast food and keeping him healthier). I switched to reusable cotton period pads, which saves a whole lot of money and is actually more comfortable. I save our kitchen scraps for homemade broths, saving money and diverting waste from landfills. The biggest “contest” we had was when clothes shopping. Resale seemed “icky” to my husband because his family didn’t do that as far as he remembered, while my family was straight up poor and never bought anything new unless we had to. So I just went shopping without him one day and came back with an entire year’s wardrobe for our child for a 1/4 of what it would have cost new. I sat him down with the receipt and the bags and let him inspect everything. He was genuinely impressed and from there I had his complete support in thrifting all of our clothes. I don’t recommend making financial decisions without your spouse, but you and he may be surprised at what he’s willing to accept if you just start implementing what changes you can. Sorry for the absolute wall of text. You are not alone and you have support. Just take things one step at a time and go slow. Little changes that you can stick to are better than big changes you can’t keep up with. You got this!

We struggled financially for many years so for us it started gradually swapping to healthier alternatives that I would find for necessary items, we had nothing, even our clothing was very limited so I invested in a pack or terry cloths I think it was about $15 for about 100 and have been using the same cloths for almost two decades now (I feel old lol). We set some aside for cleaning up, some for the floor some for our hand towels in the bathroom and even had some as our tea towels that I had cut up and sewn up nicely to differentiate them. It’s been years since we’ve been making swaps and even though he comes a different background, I had nothing growing up and he had everything I have managed to teach him ways in which our purchases impact our environment. When I gave birth to our kids he refused to buy many baby items by telling me they would end up in the landfill 🤣 I trained him well lol . It definitely takes time to make changes and adjust.

@@Gittemary thank you!!!

I’m currently playing jenga with my water floss and my toothbrush 😅

New year, new intro 😎👌

Up until the 60/70’s many apartments didn’t have facilities in the apartment but the building shared facilities in the yard, or in the basements ☺️

I know, I don’t how why I am playin 😂

I can see some requests for this, so I’ll absolutely make the video 🙏

the TRAGEDY

I am filming a video this week to show what I do ☺️🌿

@@Gittemary Yay! Thank you!

It means that it was discarded at the factory for cosmetics errors, so it would otherwise have been thrown away

no I am just an idiot 😂👌 okay so I had so many people calling it a tiger, so I started doing it too without realising it

I made a reel on Insta a while back, but I might make a video about for YT as well soon, if there is interest 😍

@@Gittemary there is interest! i don't have IG sadly enough so a video would be great x

@@Kx____ noted 👌🌿✨

They are made from 100% stainless steel so I recycle them with metals ☺️

the original apartments in the 30’s were built with a shared toilet/bath in the yard or basement 😄

Absolutely ☺️

Am I saying tiger? 😂

I must rewatch the video… I thought he was Leo the Leopard? Must check for large cat authenticity… 🤣. Have a great day my friend!! Ⓜ️ary

I swear I have accidentally manifested this fail 😂👌 I kept seeing people comment on it as a tiger and then I apparently started during it myself 😂 anyway it is a leopard I guess, I named him Leo 😂

@@Gittemary

Take a look at Fego papir if you are in DK. Its a lot similar to WGAC and there is less transport. I have tried both and the quality is the same. The wrapping in less colourfull though :)

The transportation impact of UK to DK isn’t so bad - I also have a video about it where I go into detail more, find it in the “online vs in-store shopping” video ☺️

De har forskellige afdelinger, og sender blandt andet også fra en UK location ☺️

@@Gittemary ok - tak

ehm excuse you
