Felt Snowflakes

I love these felt snowflakes in hot pink and white by purl bee.  They'd also be cute as gift tags for the holidays!  Try making your own with their tutorial. (photo: The Purl Bee)

Locally grown organic microgreens in my own container from @microgreenmama at the Hollywood Farmers Market (@thehfm)! Laurette and I were both urban farmer interns who learned about beyond organic farming practices under @farmerrishi and @zerowastefarmer. I am so happy for her and her thriving microgreen business. She truly cares about growing the best microgreens and reducing waste! Please go support her and tell her I sent you :) And yes, she will fill your own container too! Or use a paper bag if you forget! #zerowaste #trashfreeinla #zerowastela Hello to all the new faces around here 👋🏻 I thought I would share a bit about myself. ⁣ ⁣ • I used to have my own baking company (hence the username) making special occasion cakes with organic and local ingredients. I’m completely self taught and no place ever wanted to hire me 😂. I’ve baked for many celebrities and have had the honor of making countless wedding cakes.⁣ ⁣ • I grew up doing lots of creative things including many different types of art classes, dance, and piano. I studied graphic design in college. And I’ve tried a LOT of creative hobbies. I have probably tried them all 😂⁣ ⁣ • I am a new mom to a 7 month old girl. It’s the hardest and most fulfilling job I’ve ever had. Shout out to all you moms out there, dang it’s tough! ⁣ ⁣ • I interned at an urban farm and it impacted my life in a way I never expected. ⁣ ⁣ • Zero waste is a part of my life but it doesn’t define me. I love teaching workshops to encourage others to reduce their waste, but it’s only a small portion of the big picture. ⁣ ⁣ ✨What about you? I’d love if you left a comment sharing a bit about yourself. ⁣ Hello! @aurijackson and I will be teaching another Zero Waste Workshop together at @juniorhighla August 11! Attendees will receive zero waste goodies from our sponsors @brushwithbamboo, @simplystraws, and @simple_ecology. We’ll be going over our fav plastic free swaps and give all our tips on reducing waste in LA. I love teaching with Auri because we use different products from each other yet have the same goal in mind, a reminder that there’s more than one way to reduce waste. PLUS I’ll be selling items from my shop! Modern day zero waste is very much catered to white women with privilege, even though lower income communities of many cultures have practiced zero waste for generations. (I mean, leave the 🍪 emoji if you’ve ever opened a tin of butter cookies and disappointingly found sewing supplies instead 😂.) I started using, then selling, this cup because as a Chinese American, I did not feel like a part of the zero waste community simply because many voices didn’t speak to my experience. This cup is for everyone who’s wanted boba but couldn’t find a suitable and attractive cup. (Just putting it into any ol’ cup/jar is not the same, and yes the straw is a big part of the experience!) Can you do me a favor? Tag your favorite BIPOC zero wasters/tree huggers/farmers/sustainability advocates. Here are just a few I follow and admire! : @zerowastefarmer @farmerrishi @chickencondor @villasenor.cindy @smalladventure @todoverde @callmeflowerchild @monicarosquillas @l_fang New blog post up on making your own spoon butter wood conditioner. I use it on our cutting boards, wooden spoons, dish brush handles, and my bamboo mason jar lid. It conditions the wood and helps repel water so your items last longer. It’s just 1 part beeswax to 3 parts oil melted together, but if you want more detailed instructions head to matchboxkitchen.com. #zerowaste GIVEAWAY ☀️ I’ve partnered with @joowaababy to give away one of their strollers! I love how compact and cute this Peli stroller is. The back reclines for napping on the go, it folds up quickly and easily, and the canopy comes in super cute colors. Obviously I love this one those most, which is named Cantaloupe. I’m so glad I went with a compact and simple stroller rather than a big travel system as it fits much better with my lifestyle! To enter: - follow @matchboxkitchen and @joowaababy - Tag friends in separate comments That’s it! Giveaway ends Sunday, May 26. Not affiliated with Instagram. New blog post up on my zero waste diaper bag 👶🏻. Using cloth at home is one thing, but I was too nervous to go out with them too 😬. Turns out it’s not much different! #zerowaste #zerowastebaby Thank you to those who came to my zero waste workshop at @grow_good on Saturday! It was such a fun day, but my favorite moments were walking around and showing Mari all the different plants. I think her favorite part were the chickens 🐥. I can’t wait for the day we grow our own fruits and veggies together.
