    You and Madison have an old video from 2017 where you go intoTARGET and research brands that are greenwashing. PLEASE will you do an updated video on that! Target has so many brands that appear (to me) to be green washing.... it would be interesting to see what items are actually good and worth the money.

      Luna Rose it could be an hour long video! I found a “bamboo” cutlery set in their dollar section for $3. It included a fork, knife, spoon, straw, a straw cleaner, and a fabric pouch the travel in. How can they be making that CORRECTLY for $3.00?!!!

    I actually own a leaf razor, and I love it. However, I got mine by buying it through their ugly duck program for $50 instead of $80. The difference is that these razors have a minor esthetic defect but the mechanism is still functional.

According, to what I learned about the program, it's been active since they kickstarted their brand. I have my razor since march of this year :)

    Full realness, especially for a house full of women, having a bidet during "that time of the month" is soooooo amazing. Like, I just feel so much less gross down there when I basically get a full cleaning every time I go to the bathroom. Never going back to toilet paper myself.

      Sometimes it's just such a mess. I always wet my toilet paper but I've become so fed up I use a tabo. Which I guess is the equivalent of a dipper. Alot of south east asian countries use it. I just get in my tub and rinse that way... its very effective and I definitely feel clean but I'd love to invest in a bidet when I move

      @@Bee-qm7rd well, shelbi's making this video so we know what to buy and what not to buy. She's not just buying things;she's reviewing them. And considering how much sustainable things cost, it's nice to have unbiased reviews of those things. Especially because a safety razor for instance can be a life long investment. Someone who lives in a warm environment may have just saved money and resources because they realized the Buffy comforter is not for them, and someone who lives in a cold place may now choose to support this sustainable company instead of an unethical one. Hope that make sense, sorry, it's like 3am where I live.

      @@ChewonThat The video is a little misleading. Causebox is not simply sustainable - the company does not promise completely eco friendly items. The "causes" can be environmental, social, ethical, etc. With each box you get a booklet that highlights what each company does and what their cause is... sometimes it's employing former sex workers or victims of sexual assault, or supporting schooling for girls in countries where it's hard for girls to get an education. I've had two boxes so far, and every item is useful. The value is incredible. Two items I've saved as beautiful birthday gifts for friends.

    So glad you loved the Leaf razor!! I got one and love it and I’m trying to convince my mom to get one since she shaves twice a day, but she just can’t justify the price of one. I might end up getting her one for her birthday. I know it would get a ton of use! I had to remove the bottom blade because it was a bit too aggressive for me and ever since then it has worked fantastically! My only complaint is that I should’ve gotten a different color because I got the black one and we have hard water, so it does show the white buildup. You just have to go back and scrub it off every once in a while.

    Great video I love all your stuff and have been watching for years! Thank you so much for covering Leaf razors! I bought one a few years ago (personally, been enjoying it) and it would have taken me way longer to realize they now have a recycling program for their blades! I'm glad you mentioned it!

    We ordered the breeze version of the Buffy comforter and it's perfect. With the regular one my husband would sweat during the summer, but with this he stays cool but covered! Highly recommend the Breeze version for anyone wanting to try it. The texture of this blanket is incomparable to any I've ever tried.

    Love this video! Super helpful. I would like one on some cleaning product ads I get all the time like Cleancult, Truman’s, etc. I recently tried Truman’s and have been finding that their dishwasher tablets and washer tablets don’t dissolve all the way and leave streaks on my dishes. It sucks even if the company is doing the right things when the product isn’t functional.

    I have been following you for about 2 months give or take and I can’t describe how thankful I am to have stubbled into your channel! I haven’t thought deeply enough as to why it’s so important to seriously think about buying a product and if it’s even worth it. Sadly I’m not in the best state money wise since I’m just a teen but once I get a stable income I will without a doubt invest in things I truly need. My family is trying to slowly but surely to go into a more sustainable life. Ofc it can’t be a full 180° but it’s better than nothing; that’s something you taught me. Other videos that I’ve seen made me feel bad about not having sustainable things or not being sustainable myself. Not going to lie it made me feel so discourage to point where I gave up on trying to be sustainable. After a while TH-cam recommended me your videos and you were the first channel I’ve ever seen to be open and accepting about different life styles, even open about your life! Keep up the great work, the world needs people like you truly!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎❣️ I wish you the absolute best of luck!

    I have the classic Buffy comforter in an ocean part of Los Angeles (where you don’t need a/c because it’s generally a breezy area in a hot city that’s not really muggy) and honestly it’s perfect for that area. My neighbor has one too. We find it works for both summer and winter. I get really cold in the winter and it still keeps me warm in the winter but I don’t get too hot in the summer.

    I absolutely adore my buffy comforter. I live in New Orleans too. I did not like it at first, till I got a duvet cover from them as well. Where you are sleeping warms up, indeed, but if you move your body, wherever you move it to stays cool. Did you use sheets with it? That could have been why. I would recommend using only eucalyptus.
    Anyhow, I did try the breeze comforter and found it too cool... maybe that would be a better bet. I usually run hot too!

    The Buffy comforter is great when I lived in Colorado during the spring/fall/winter months but now that I’m living in Arizona again, it’s currently in storage and we use a kantha blanket. Long story short, it’s definitely only good when it’s heckin cold.
