1. Use re-usable mugs and glassware - Reusable mugs is an easy swap to live each day sustainably! Our coffee mugs and tumblers are the perfect option for your first cup of coffee in the morning or your evening cup of tea. With over 50+ styles to choose from, you will be sure to find your favorite new mug for any season - from holiday styles to Mother's Day!

2. Reuse your candle jars - Don't throw away your old candles; give your candle jars a second life! Reuse your candle jars for a decorative jar to hold bathroom items like cotton balls or brushes, office supplies, or use as a trinket dish. You can even use them to plant your favorite plant and give life into your home for spring! There are so many uses for a repurposed candle jar. If you are unsure how to repurpose your candle, you can view our "How to Repurpose your Candle Jar" video here.

3. Utilize refillable dispensers - Ditch the plastic bottles of soap, shampoo, and conditioner and switch to reusable dispenser bottles! Our stylish plastic and glass dispenser bottles make the perfect statement for any kitchen, bathroom, or shower. Not only will they add style to your space, you can save money by buying in bulk! Our reusable soap dispensers come in clear or amber, with three different label styles to choose from. Also, eco friendly cleaning has never been so easy with reusable spray bottles!

5. Swap your paper towels for stylish hand towels - Another eco-friendly swap to make in your kitchen or bathroom is to ditch the paper towels! Instead, replace your paper towels with our Turkish cotton + bamboo blend hand towels that are both stylish and functional. They are perfect to be used as hand towels, kitchen towels, hair towels, and more. Throw them in the washer on cold and tumble dry with low heat to clean + reuse, it's that simple!
