I'm starting the process of finding items to remodel our bathroom! This is the final list of exactly what we will be using, but it's where my inspiration is coming from. When everything is purchased, I'll update the links!
All of your must haves to create the most beautiful sanctuary and self care space in your bathroom. I am all about making your bathroom a place of calm and refuge and this is what I have in mine to make it that space.
After buying our first home, my husband and I have tried to keep our home improvement projects under a tight budget. We have done everything from painting all our walls to re-doing our flooring. Next we're upgrading our small laundry room space, and I am so excited about it. Here are the things I will be using to DIY my ideal laundry closet.
I am a firm believer in making your home your sanctuary and finding little things that bring you joy by looking at them. I created a list of fun things that I have in my home or have gifted to friends/family. Little and big additions to your home can completely transform your space, which for me has helped improve my mental health. A happy home has given me little things to smile about throughout the bad days.
My husband and I have remodeled 3 homes with the help of my father in law who has was the forman for building houses and apartment complexes. We also had the help of a friend whose dad works for a tile and flooring company. So on our 7th bathroom, I’m feeling confident I know what you need! I should add, I am the tiler. My husband does the cutting and I do the measuring, mortar, spacing and setting!

Growing up, I had the privilege of living in one of the most tidiest homes in America (I’m not even kidding…my mom cleaned daily and was extremely neat). Sometimes I would just watch her out of pure amazement and curiosity and then somewhere along the line it became a goal of mine to be clean and tidy as well. I’m nowhere near her level, but I have developed the habit of cleaning daily and desiring for my home to smell pleasant. However, there is a tiny difference in how we approach things when it comes to cleaning. She tends to gravitate towards popular commercial cleaning products, whereas I find joy in creating my own cleaning products and reaching for sustainable brands when I’m unable to come up with my own cleaning technique(s). As you can imagine, creating my own cleaning products means that I had to start from scratch, do a lot of research, and experience a lot of trial and error. Even so, I’ve been able to create a pretty solid cleaning system centered around sustainability. I know there are others out there that desire to implement sustainability into their cleaning technique(s) as well, so I compiled a list of eco friendly products that I can’t live without (and what I'm inspired by). My hope is that by compiling this list, you won’t have to start from scratch like I did and hopefully it will make your trial and error process a little bit easier. So if you’re ready to ditch the commercial cleaning brands and start shopping for/creating your own sustainable cleaning products…then scroll down below to browse through my list of eco friendly cleaning products I can't live without!

Please remember that the most sustainable thing you can do is use what you already have and you don't have to swap out everything single thing you own. Switching to a zero/low waste lifestyle can be intimidating. The number one thing to remember is that perfection is an unrealistic standard. It's best to start with small, mindful choices that add up over time. The first thing you want to do is assess the plastic in your life. From there, see what you can replace as things in your everyday life run out and take it room by room. I personally started with bathroom/toiletry items and once I found what worked for me, I was able to incorporate these items into my normal routine and move onto kitchen/laundry from there.

Early in 2025 I accidentally purchased ~22,000 seeds. Who does that?
Me. I do.
Someone else out there has to do the same thing I do when shopping online: put a bunch of 💩 in the cart so you can compare them easily once you’re done scrolling.
Wellllll, I did that and then promptly forgot I put 2 packs in my cart. I proceeded to place my grocery order and was VERY confused at how it ended up being so expensive.
Reviewing the cart when I realized the price revealed I had purchased ~22,000 seeds to be delivered to my house the next day! 😱 (Thanks, ADHD)
So since it was *already* March and very late in the seed starting season and I had absolutely nothing to grow these babies in, and zero knowledge base to grow from, I still tried.
And failed.
But mainly because one of my cats decided that she was going to eat all of my pepper plants and decimate everything else in the process. Catching her with a jalapeño pepper plant hanging from between her teeth was both hysterical and frustrating.
So year 1 of gardening was a (predicted) fail.
That’s ok. Now I had time to prep for the next season.
Year 2 will be the 2026 growing season. Here’s my list of all the things I’ve bought so far, all the things I plan to buy, and any other resources I’ve discovered along the way! As well as the planters I received from a close friend’s mom for free! 😍
