      Aw thank you! That means a lot to me, seriously 🥰 I really try to embrace the little moments in every day life that make life special. I think the small things are the big things sometimes and they're so easy to overlook, you know? Anyway, thanks for the nice comment. Like I said, it means a lot. Hope you have a great rest of your evening!

    I use dollar store tray containers and Walmart open bins to separate things in my fridge. Leftovers usually sit outside of the bins in their own size-specific containers. I don't have a deli drawer, so I put all my sandwich items together, then I just gave to pull out the bin when I want to make a sandwich. As always, it was a wonderful and soothing video!

      If you loved Braiding Sweetgrass, and you find indigenous culture interesting, you might enjoy this book that I just started reading. Iwígara: The Kinship of Plants and People by Enrique Salmón. I’m really enjoying learning about how the many indigenous tribes used (and continue to use) their local plants in daily life and rituals. I find it totally fascinating!

I love making CZcams videos and sometimes there's so much pressure to make everything look perfect but I really don't think that "perfect" is helpful. Sometimes just celebrating the simple moments in every day life can really bring so much joy. It's not about waiting until everything is perfect, it's just about recognizing the beauty that already exists in the lives we're living right now.

    I'd really like to know the history of why, oh WHY was the decision made to package everything in round tubs, as opposed to square? Because our refrigerators, cupboards, cabinets, everything, are pretty much based on straight lines and right angles, correct? I remember once reading some organization article that said, only purchase square or straight sided storage containers, as they are the most space efficient way to store foods. That forever changed my perception and actually made me a little bitter about how almost everything we buy, is packaged in a *round* tub or jar! As a result, I also try to nest as many tubs and jars into square bins in my fridge because things don't slide around so much. Also, it makes me feel a little rebellious.

      @NikkiVegan  Před 3 lety +1

      Yep! One of the reasons I love soy milk is because it's so creamy in coffee and cereal but also because the one I get is fortified with calcium and it also has a good amount of protein too. I'm actually talking about this more in my next video so funny you mentioned it! Great minds think a like 😊😊 Bok choy, spinach, dark leafy greens, chia seeds, fortified cereals, and tahini are good ways to add more calcium to your meals too!
