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)

Got back from Australia last week, battled jet lag, pregnancy related nausea, a cold/congestion, did a zero waste talk for @aegworldwide (see my story for some clips), and now I get to work on my website and new zero waste online shop I’m opening soon!! Many zero waste resources are popping up which is GREAT, but I still felt a strong desire to start my own. Why? Because representation matters and I hope that my visibility as an Asian American with a passion for environmental sustainability can encourage others as well. Here’s a peek at some of the items I’ll be carrying! #zerowaste #matchboxkitchenshop Hello from Sydney! I’m here visiting family one more time before baby arrives in December. I’ll be honest, it’s been a little tough being low waste while staying with my grandparents. I do what I can and try not to beat myself up over it. Thankfully there are some great resources like @thesourcebulkfoods where I picked up some health conscious snacks. Even after years of following a zw lifestyle it still makes me sooo happy when I can use my own containers without hassle. I shared what I got on my stories if you’re curious! #zerowaste #zerowastesydney Fresh milled oats for breakfast on repeat 🌾 I’ve been wishing for a Komo grain mill for years, so when @lotus_center told me she was selling hers I jumped at the chance! I haven’t experimented too much but I’ve been loving oat groats milled on the coarsest setting. Freshly milled grains retain more vitamins and minerals, not to mention way more flavor! Here I cooked them with some hemp milk and topped it off with a @kenstopnotchproduce mango nectarine, @lonijane rawnola, and some coconut butter. #zerowaste #plantbased Next Sunday, @aurijackson and I will be teaching a zero waste workshop at @wildterra.la in Highland Park! Danielle will also demo how to make fire cider without any waste, and @sustain_la will be there with their refill station. This is a great intro to reducing waste and I hope we demystify any apprehensions you may have on going zw. Head to www.wildterra.la for details and to RSVP! #zerowaste #zerowastela Plastic free brushes ❤️ Not only will they eventually biodegrade in my compost pile, but they’re beautiful too. Using these brushes makes me so much happier than their plastic counterparts. I may even go as far as saying they make cleaning enjoyable, too! From top: floor scrubber, dish brush, rubber lint brush, and a hair brush. #zerowaste
Our favorite reusable cups. I personally love my 24 oz mason jar. I don’t drink coffee, so if I go out I usually order a tea or smoothie and need ample space. The Ball jar also has lines to measure ounces, just in case they only fill a certain amount. (Most places will just fill it to the top though!) This also helps me keep track of how much water I drink throughout the day. I use a @cuppow lid or my new bamboo lid that fits my boba straw 😬. Gary loves his @keepcup for coffee. He has the double walled version that’s glass on the inside and plastic on the outside, making it more durable and easier to hold when filled with hot drinks. There are so many different types of reusable cups out there, but this is what works best for us! What kind do you use? #trashfreeinla #zerowaste @yoga_urt in my @keepcup! Yoga-urt makes vegan soft serve made from almonds and cashews, all house made from scratch, and it is SO good. Even my skeptical ice cream loving husband requests to come here all the time 😂 On top of that, they were more than happy to fill my own container! My favorite flavors are chocolate bliss (pictured) and Ganesha’s sweet greens, which is naturally sweetened. Thank you @yoga_urt for being #zerowaste friendly! #vegan #trashfreeinla
