  • I’m a HUGE tiny living enthusiast!! (Yes, I do see the irony 😂 LOL) And one of the things I have always dreamed of was a Murphy bed 😻🛏! • Hanno and I share a 323 sq ft/ 30 sq m studio apartment—with a Murphy bed, whoohoo 🥳!! • We’ve actually been sharing tiny spaces ever since we started living together. Back then (in college) I asked if I could stay at his place temporarily until I found a new place. And that’s how I moved into his 210 sq ft/ 19.5 sq m studio apartment 😝. • Long story short: We somehow really liked living together and even though we said we wanted to find a larger apartment, we were too comfortable and too lazy to do so 🤪. • The reaction we get a lot even today is “Man, you guys must REALLY like each other!” 🤣 If you ask me, I think it’s the other way around! Living tiny forces you to learn to communicate and to be brutally honest with each other—something a relationship can only benefit from❤️, at least in my humble opinion. There’s no way you can ignore problems when sharing a shoe box day in day out after all! • I won’t lie, this can be very difficult in the beginning, especially if you’re not used to sharing your space or somebody else being in your business. • I had just graduated from (a public) boarding school, so I was still very used to having a room mate, and to things like hearing somebody else breathing at night 👻. Hanno, too, was very open to it and had never been one to beat around the bush, so we got used to it quite quickly with less drama than I expected LOL 😝 • Living this small (and being as lazy as we are), a bed that you can put away quickly has always been on our list. And finally, after 13 years of cosiness, we’ve got one!!!
  • Does anything here feel out of place in our #farmersmarket #groceryhaul? To us, it's the squashes 🎃!! We were extremely surprised to see a farmer sell squashes from their own farm this time of the year!⠀ •⠀ We had a really nice chat with them, and they told us it's a kind of winter squash with an edible, thick skin that stores forever. (Well, obviously not literally "forever", but forever like for a surprisingly long time LOL 😜!)⠀ •⠀ We were worried the squashes had been sitting in a refrigerated warehouse, which wouldn’t have been very climate-friendly either. But nope! They explained storing squashes too cool was actually bad for them! So they just kept them in a barn that they neither cool nor heat. And they told us to store them in a dark, not too hot corner at home.⠀ •⠀ When they said that we remembered how a farmer has once told us a customer of theirs took the same advice, and wrapped a few squashes in towels and shoved them into their closet. They forgot about the squashes until they decided to declutter their closet—in the summer ☀ of the following year 😳! To their surprise the squashes were perfectly fine 🤣!!⠀ •⠀ A lot of produce can actually be stored for many months—if you know how to and have the necessary space in your home!⠀ 👉 Potatoes 🥔: dark, dry, cool, but not refrigerator cool, well ventilated place⠀ 👉 Onions: dark, dry, cool, but not refrigerator cool, well ventilated place away from other produce including potatoes!⠀ 👉 Apples 🍎: cool (close to freezing but not below), dark place with high humidity (the in crisp drawer of your fridge works well)⠀ 👉 Squashes: let them sit out at warm temperatures in a well ventilated place for 10-14 day (=curing), then store them in a dark, dry, cool (but not refrigerator cool) spot⠀ •⠀ Please note that how long these things store will also depend of the kind you have, e.g. sweet onions spoil quicker, acorn squashes store for only 4 weeks, while butternut squash stores for 6 months.⠀ ⠀
  • If u do need to line your bin (i.e. for collecting organic waste), you can origami your trash bag 😎! (Swipe to see a step-by-step 💚) • All u need is—newspaper! We cancelled all our newspaper and magazine subscriptions when we went #zerowaste. But we don’t need any subscriptions to get newspapers! You can get old newspapers anywhere really—on trains, busses, at the end of the day in cafes, or ask friends and family 🙃! • If you happen to still have 🍑loads of old plastic or paper bags—use these instead! Or ask friends/family members with kitchen drawers full of single-use bags! • It’s always more sustainable to reuse the heck out of what you already have 💪💚!! (Unless it’s a product containing micro plastics!) • I used to buy trash bags until one day I thought how crazy it was to waste precious resources AND my hard-earned money to literally manage my garbage 😅! • While I’m at it: you can also re-use these things (newspapers, single-use bags) and packaging like chips bags to pick up your doggie’s 💩!
  • ⁣ @simpleishliving (📷) has a great point here! Make sure to read her great original caption below 👇💚! Thank you so much for keeping it real!!⁣ Repost @simpleishliving⁣ •⁣ I’ll start by saying I’m by no means perfect & I do see the irony of buying stuff to achieve a lower waste lifestyle. After all, you could see this movement as another form of consumerism wrapped up in green leaves & sticks⁣ 🌳⁣ But me being me, a sometimes too optimistic & a little too naive human, I really don’t see it that way & I don’t regret making the purchases I made on the left. Mostly, because those purchases were made with intent & I’ve gotten a whole heap of use of out it. That being said, I understand why people might think that this lifestyle is for the wealthy, the reusables in the left ain’t all that cheap. But, there are probably some “at home” reusables you already have if you’re on a budget. Repurposing jars for bulk foods if you have access to them or even reusing them as water bottles. Stainless steel spoon & forks from your cutlery draw. A plastic lunch container. Reusing old tote bags or even plastic bags you have at home. Or a mug instead of a reusable coffee cup. It’s ain’t all that glamorous but it does the job⁣ 💚⁣ For me, making these purchases gave me a push into this lifestyle. Not ideal, but it’s the truth. If you don’t have the money there may be things you already have at home that you can reuse & if you do have the money, well, reuse what you have or buy what you feel you need & what will bring purpose or function into your life. If you make mistakes, you make mistakes. You might not learn from them & that’s okay too. There are so many mistakes I’ve made that I do do over & over again. Sometimes, a mistake isn’t a lesson learnt. Sure, some of them I’ve learnt some major life lessons, some of them, well, I just make over and over again. Hello, human over here!⁣ 💁🏻‍♀️⁣ There really is no right or wrong way to live...okay there is 1 or 2, try & not hurt others & don’t be cruel, that’s probably the only benchmark. Other than that there are no bullet points or checklists to how to live your life, let alone a lower waste one⁣ ✌🏽⁣ #zerowasteirl⁣ 🌳
  • This is actually a very untypical #zerowaste #groceryhaul for us!! That was because we didn't make it to the farmers market last week due to our schedules so I went to a health food store on my way home because our fridge was already completely empty.⁣ •⁣ Because I went pretty late, the store had already put a lot of things on sale. We hardly buy any produce that's not local or seasonal (with ginger usually being our only exception), but this time I did because they would have been tossed at the end of the day.⁣ •⁣ Can you guess which are the things that I got from the sales box that are both out of season and do not grow in the temperate climate zone 😉? Let me know in the comments below!⁣ •⁣ When we started out, we had no idea whatsoever about what's when in season or what even grows here! I mean, sure, we know tropical fruits like bananas 🍌, pineapples 🍍 or avocados 🥑 weren't local to Germany or Canada, but that was about it...⁣ •⁣ We started off by downloading a seasonal calendar that we saved on our phones so we could check when buying produce. Our big mistake was that we started this as a new year's resolution... It's not the best idea to start this in the middle of the winter ❄️😂. Unless you live down under, then yes, great new year's resolution!!⁣ •⁣ In case you were wondering: Yes, now (spring/fall) is a great time! You can ease into it and also prepare for the winter by freezing or canning tomatoes or berries or whatever you fancy!⁣
  • Just the mere thought of going #zerowaste or #plasticfree can be overwhelming. But like climbing a mountain, it’s just a series of small steps with ups and downs. Just go at your own pace and take a break whenever you need to 💚! Make sure to read Sara’s journey below and follow her if you love her haul as much as I do 😻😻😻! • Repost @shisodelicious ・・・ #3monthsofminimalplastic – practicing a new habit. How long does it take to form a new one? . It's been 3 months and a little bit now, and I'm feeling pretty comfortable with my focused effort to use minimal amount of plastic in my shopping! 😆 Actually, I'm not going back... 🤨🙅🏻‍♀️ . Doing this makes me feel great. . The small sacrifice of a little more work to source our food is a tiny bleep 🐛 compared to the satisfaction of actually, actively doing something hands-on to the ease our climate and environmental crisis (and my stress regarding it!) 😆🐘 . My actions may be small and personal (and this is how I felt all these years recycling and saving energy in the past, like, what difference does it make) BUT .... being able to share my journey here, feeling part of a movement of sorts, has added a whole other level of motivation and urgency to what I do. I feel incredibly grateful to have a chance to give new perspective, possibly inspire, help change, more than just my personal circle of friends. #lifepurpose . There's nothing more important to me right now than trying to make the best we can to lessen the mess we're in! 🌍 (as long as I get to make beautiful imagery in the process 😆) . The 'bad' side is, now I'm starting to think of aviation as well, hah! ✈️ 😭 (bye, old plans... welcome new ones! ) Over a quarter of the carbon footprint of a person in the UK is travel and transport – just over our food and drink footprint. However .. A and me just booked out trains to go to our yearly trip to the Alps this summer, a journey we'd normally do by plane .. to be continued 😆🌍 . PS Pictured bottom right is my Leaf Spa – more a few posts down. Also individually wrapped cat treat salamis (I know, double negative 😅) that our little Tigger LOVES. Until I find an alternative 😎 Much love, Sara x #shisodelicious
