Let’s Talk About Dryer Balls

When I created this blog, it was so I could help people weed through the growing number of zero-waste products that were on the market. What items are worth buying and which aren’t? For the most part, I have had great success going zero-waste. I love shampoo bars, organizing my closet help me reduce the amount of clothes I was buying and I even figured out how to reduce my waste when it came to oral care, which was by far, one of the areas I was most worried about.

There haven’t been many fails on this blog but boy-oh-boy do Dryer Balls make that list.

DIY T-Shirt Bags

So last week’s produce bag DIY was a little fancier than the bags that I started with last year. As I had mentioned, I cleaned out my closet early in 2019 and I had a lot of t-shirts left. I had already done a big t-shirt clean out a few years back and made a t-shirt quilt (my absolute favorite use for shirts that have meaning to you- old concert t-shirts, yours first marathon, etc.) but extra t-shirts have a sneaky way of making their way into a closet. One second your closet is nicely organized with pieces you actually wear, the next you have free t-shirts from charities you went to, Kickstarter campaigns you sponsored or gifts someone gave you.
