I made this backpack myself — from leftover fabrics I had at home.

Every piece has a story, every stitch was worth it.

I’ve been using it for a week now, even took it on a hike — and it held up like a champ.

There’s something so special about wearing something you made with your own hands.

Slow Fashion Season 2019

Slow Fashion Season started two days ago and I am so excited about it! And I finally decided to upcycle old men’s shorts to shorts appropriate for me. I am really pleased with the effect!

Recently I think about #buynothingnew more. When I have an opportunity I always choose buying things secondhand. Sometimes I cannot but I buy what I really need. For example last week I have bought new sewing threads. I was looking for online announcements but I have not found anything. I am sewing a lot and my old ones was so old that they crack all the time and it irritated me. So after that I decided to buy new threads, forgive me :D

My tip about “fashion” is to know your wardrobe. I always try to remember what clothes I own and I take care about them. I repair my clothes and I can sew so it makes my life much easier 😁 I am not a shopaholic so I do not consider buying new clothes as my problem. On the other hand I still try to convince my sister to stop buying as many new clothes as she does. I can see some progress and I urged her to sell online some of her things. She found a lot of new ones in ther big wardrobe. I am happy that she is on right way to change and I am proud of her!

I am also very grateful that 14487 participants (including me) joined the action. I hope that the following 3 months of challenge will be an interesting experience for us!

I do my #bulk shopping every other week, so I always make sure to pick up enough of my staples like oats, rice, pasta and beans. And I found #vegan chocolate chips!! I was so excited to see them @bushwickfood because I haven’t had them in forever 😊😊 what’s your favorite bulk find? • • • #lowimpactmovement #lowwaste #wastefree #trashfree #plasticfree #minimalwaste #zerowaste #nowaste #notrash #noplastic #reduce #reuse #recycle #repurpose #ecofriendly #sustainable #gogreen #vegansofig #plantbased #wfpb #bushwickfoodcoop

I was fortunate enough to win some soap nuts recently! Soap nuts are a zero waste alternative to laundry detergent. When added to warm water they release a soap called saponin that washes your clothes! I've used it a few times already and it seems to work great. Let me know if you have ever heard of or used soap nuts. #zerowastesolutions #zerowaste #minimalwaste #minimal #laundryroom #laundry #laundryday #soap #soapnuts #laundrydetergent #allnatural #nochemicals #noplastic #nowaste #plasticfree #saponin #nature #natural #iwassceptical #alternative #trysomethingdifferent #trysomethingnew

Hello!

I just wanted to say how much I love making letcho! 💛

I love the taste and the colours of it! ❤

As a child I always enjoyed letcho made by my mother and now I can make my own. The only difference is that I don't use any meat to cook it. My mom always added sausages. I only use zucchinis, sweet peppers, tomatoes, onions and spices like pepper, salt and spicy pepper powder 🥒🍅🌶

But there are lots of letcho recipes to be honest I enjoy making my own vegetarian one 🌱

3 Recipes for Imperfect Apples

If you’ve been following me recently, you know that I get a LOT of apples from the farmers market. About 20 pounds worth to be exact! So what do I do with all them apples? Well aside from making these apple pancakes or stovetop apple crisp, I love finding easy recipes that are healthy and require minimal effort. If you try any of these out, please tag me and let me know what you think!

Apple Sauce Ingredients 6 - 7 medium apples 1 tbsp cinnamon ½ cup water optional: sweetener of choice

Method Cut the apples into quarters and add them to a pot with water and cinnamon on medium high heat. Once the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to low and cover for about 20 minutes, or until soft. Use an immersion blender (or mash with a fork) and leave it in the pot to simmer for a bit longer until desired consistency is reached. (I’m not really sure how long it will last because I always eat it so fast, but I’d say it’ll last at least 3 days in the fridge!)

Apple Chia Jam (adapted from Oh She Glows) Ingredients 3 medium apples ¾ cup water 2 tbsp chia seeds ½ tbsp cinnamon optional: sweetener of choice

Method Add all ingredients to a pot and heat to a low boil, then reduce to medium-low and cover with a lid. Leave for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until apples are very soft. Remove from heat and mash until desired consistency is reached. The jam can be stored in an air-tight container in the fridge for 1 - 2 weeks.

Apple Chips Ingredients 2 - 3 apples ½ tbsp cinnamon optional: sweetener of choice

Method Preheat the oven to 225 degrees and prepare the apples by slicing them thinly with a sharp knife or mandolin. Lay them out evenly on a baking rack, top with cinnamon (and optional sugar) and cook them in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the edges curl up. Make sure they cool first before eating!
