What should I do? Thanks!

Thank you for sharing these fantastic recipes for homemade household products! I have been trying my best to not buy or use plastics in my household and to use biodegradable products, so these are fantastic and will be adding them to what I already use.

I recently made the decision to go plastic free (as much as is possible) by the end of this year. It is hard to do but I'm determined to reduce, reuse, and finally rid my home of it. Is this even possible? My adult daughter, Sara (who introduced me to YWA in 2016), has been gifting me with bees wax wrap and reusable bowl covers, clay infused natural sea sponges, and more for many years, and for the most part we do not use single use paper products, other than tissues and TP.

I am ready to switch to bar soaps and start making my own cleaning products and just discovered we have a couple of zero-waste stores here in St Petersburg, FL. I loaded my car with mason jars and bags and am headed there today to pick up supplies. I hope I have as much luck as you do. Please continue to blog about your plastic-free life. It is so inspiring.

Hi Nicholas! I use the cap measurement the same as I did before 🙂

Yes, I have heard that there are certain eos that shouldn't be used with pets, but I think there are some that are safe. I personally don't have pets, so it's not something I've researched.

Hi Hannah! My local grocery store sells rubbing alcohol in glass bottles. I haven't found peroxide that doesn't come in a plastic bottle yet. I'm on the hunt!

One thing...I have read a lot about not adding essential oils to your floor and furniture cleaners if you have cats. It supposedly can cause health problems because their livers don’t synthesize and eliminate some of the compounds in most essential oils like our livers do, and it can create a toxic backup. Stinks bc I Love essential oils! Xoxoxo
