hey hey!
A little "What's In My Bag?" video including the reusables I take with me to assist my zero waste lifestyle!
Enjoy!

FEATURED ITEMS (or similar)
I found my bag in a local consignment shop. Google "dress agency" or "consignment store" to find ones near you. They're often more expensive than a charity shop but still amazing finds at a fraction of the original cost. I also love charity/thrift shops too, so always worth checking out ones that are local.

(I eat organic meat and feel happy wearing leather, and try to buy it either second hand or from brands that have better sourcing and use non-toxic chemicals - I know this isn't for everyone, each to their own, but I feel this aligns with my own personal values - being eco friendly doesn't mean having to avoid all animal products in my opinion or be perfect in any way....for me, it's about being better, not perfect)
DIY Lip Balm Recipes
- In a small glass jar, combine 1tablespoon of beeswaxand 4 tablespoons of jojoba oil (sunflower oil or other oil should work too)

In my humble opinion it is way better to buy a second hand leather bag than a "vegan leather" bag (which usually is PVC) because:
1.the leather bag already exist (no need for more energy or animals)
2. It will last longer (way more longer than a plastic bag)
3. It will biodegradate
Not Everything is Black and White, sometimes you have to look further to actually know what its better.
I personally don’t want to wear a dead animals skin on my body, second hand or not. Secondly wool makes me itch 😔😔
I completely agree. I would never purchase something new that’s made out of leather or wool or whatever but if it’s secondhand, someone doesn’t want it anymore and I like it then I’ll take it. I have bought used leather shoes and they hold up really well! I don’t think it’s good to encourage the industry tho as leather is often produced with reaaally harsh chemicals and the circumstances under which it is made is so bad for the people doing it (at least that’s the mainstream leather. I don’t know much about Fairtrade companies as I’m not interested in purchasing new leather products at all) and also killing animals isn’t cool but I guess everyone has their own point of view on that. But they last so well that it’s no problem to buy second hand! So that’s cool.
Dead animals! Ewww! I don’t wanna wear that! That’s disturbing and disgusting to me! This is my opinion bit no vegans would do that! Although it’s saved and already made/ used that is still horrible! I can’t even think of that!
I still don't know how you manage to continue doing what you do with all the negative comments you always get but the world needs more courageous people like you. Please don't give up! I love you and I wish I would know how to write a comment so wonderful it would erase all the negative ones.
You have such an amazing warm spirit 😍😍
Zero waste does not mean vegan calm down people. 🙌🏻
ECanadianBeauty I know right!
Please people Kate did say her in the written intro what this video was about and her thoughts so read before you watch and Kate you are doing a great job .
ruthierue62 I know right... It is about zero waste, not about veganism. People need to chill. No one is perfect. Most vegans still buy food wrapped in plastic and I'm not one to judge
You remind me of a young Julie Andrews!
All of these people who are complaining about leather... I wonder how you live. Show us your life. Let us judge you and show how much of a perfect human you are:) not a fan of leather myself but it's so funny
Veganism is not about perfection, it is about doing the best we can to not harm others. Most carnists don't seem to get it.
@@Merryyy203 You're probably harming way more animals by using a lot of synthetic material.
Love this Kate! That wallet is adorable! I have a nearly identical one (except mine has a zip) and I’ve had it for years. I am like you-I prefer an aged leather so it always takes a while for me to like a leather good. Haha. : )
I must say, I have to applaud your perseverance and positivity on your blog/channel with regards to tolerating the uninformed vegan-related comments that pop up every bloody time. I have SO much respect for you and your lifestyle, and derive great encouragement from your content as I also am a “non-vegan low-waster.” I hope that you do not get discouraged or frustrated, because I am sure there are far more people who derive value from your content compared to the people who can’t even bother to read your food-losophy or the information box...
Love from Canada. : )
You killed it with the Holiday movie reference. That is my favorite bit. I am the same way with a diary. I have been using the bullet journal method and it works well. If you don't use the pumpkin for food, find some one who has animals such as chickens or goats. They can be beneficial for them to eat.
Could you make a video about the use of leather? Ethically leather is a no for me, but is it really worse than plastic purses or shoes?? With all the hate in the comments it would be great to see your opinion on the topic! :)
Eleonora Dalla Chiara I would also like to know the answer to this. I'm a vegetarian but I buy second hand leather shoes as they last so much longer for me than non-leather alternatives. I would love to know what the best choice is in regards to environmental impact. Kate, keep up the good work; I love your channel!
You’re still creating a demand for leather regardless of whether you buy it second hand or not. Your money isn’t going to like the pockets of the person who killed the cow directly, but you’re still giving your money to wear shoes of skin that’s not your own.
Just me Kangaroo leather is very sustainable product. Kangaroos aren’t bred, they don’t produce methane. The kangaroo population has recently skyrocketed. So the Australian government culls a small percentage so that the whole population doesn’t overpopulate and die off. They and then used for meat and then the leather is a third tier bi product, that would otherwise be thrown away.
Thought you might find that interesting
I appreciate your channel so much and I adore your personality. Thank you for being loud enough for a Brit too! lol
Surely any change people choose to make towards low waste is better than no change at all . Why are people so quick to tear people down rather than build them up ? Baffling
Your videos are great! Thank your for the inspiration and for creating a space that is genuine in inspiring people to improve and not judgemental of how each of us tries to find balance in our daily choices to be more ethical and green. Also, I love the puns! Laughter and ideas, perfect combination.
Thank you for your videos. You are such a positive vibe amidst all these perfectionist commenters.
I can't help but notice the amount of shine underneath your eyes..did you put some product on ? :-D also, you are such an inspiration to me !
It's interesting to see what people carry and you made the video entertaining. Thank you. :)
Great video! Keep them coming. I greatly enjoy a minimalism video that is not built around being vegan. These are 2 separate things. So is being Zero Waste. Looking forward to more videos 😊
Nancy Nurse do you realise how much sevage waste and gas waste cattle produces???
This video is about minimalism. It is not about veganism. Please refrain from changing the subject.
Zelda Minimalism is about not having and using more than you personally need and love. It is not about being vegan.
Zelda I seriously do not know why u think u need to preach to me. This video is NOT about being vegan. Move on with your day already.
If you don’t like that she eats meat, don’t watch her videos. There are plenty of TH-camrs that are strict vegans.
You obviously use technology which is also a big pollution creator. So save your stones for yourself.
That is one f the nicest bags I’ve seen here on TH-cam. I think you played the harmonica very well. Thank you for sharing :)
Kate, you're my absolute favorite! Your humor cracks me up and I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your tips with us!
Please can you do a video about your hair? When you cut it? Going from bleached to natural... etc
Love love love your videos. Your cheerful attitude is always uplifting! Keep it up. Ignore the negative comments. You make your stance very clear and my thoughts are "to each his own". I look forward to every new video.
I love her personality she seems like someone everyone wants to be around and this is the first video I’ve ever seen by her but I’m subscribing : )
Hi, I know you from Anglophenia 😃 I was searching on how to reduce my plastic waste & I saw your face on the thumbnail & I know I'm going to love the videos 😆
I once saw a guy playing the harmonica whilst beatboxing simultaneously. Normally the harmonica is the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard to me, but his awesome talent made it an enjoyable bus ride.
Hey Kate, FYI you can use lip balm for your leather wallet to keep it soft and clean and lasting for years looking great. You forgot the kitchen sink ... LOL
Mr. Napkinhead has won you another subscriber. 😂
I AM TOTALLY ANALOGUE TOO! I have to write my to-do list and schedule down. And how cute are you! These are super helpful ideas too.
I love these kind of videos, I get to know so many products that are not talked about here in Japan. You inspire me so much!
Kate, thank you! You're amazing and an inspiration! I really appreciate all you do!
Thanks for sharing what is in your handbag - brave woman. Love your cheery disposition.
This is a zero waste edition, not a vegan edition. Yes, these two things can be separate. Everyone needs to chill.
Actually it does. The only reason animal products have caused such an increase of environmental damage/waste is because of mass production. You can strive towards zero waste, while not contributing to mass production by buying from local farmers, and still not be vegan. Helping the environment isn't about total change, it's about developing what we have and limiting demand by simplifying.
I'm vegan, I thumbed up. 👍 Chill guys.
Also, animal products, or by products are bio degradable and they are generally heavy duty as well as long lasting (if they're good quality) hence creating less waste and having a low impact
Very good point. However, so are sustainable materials like canvas or hemp with can easily be found organic and made into items such as wallets. I don't have a stake in this fight because i'm not vegan or fully zero waste by a long shot but it should be noted that you can be both zero waste/sustainable AND vegan pretty easily which would save the live of an animal...especially when it comes to goods such as wallets.
No one is killing the cow just for its leather. It's a by product
This is my new favorite channel. So informative, so fun to watch, and I love that you always give ideas for new places to get good, useful products☺
You have such an amazing personality and watching your videos is making me more mindful of my waste. Going to make a change!
I see more people commenting about how people should stop complaining about her about leather bag.
*Then people actually complaining about it*
The Holiday is one of my feel good movies.
Satisfaction. That is the prize.
Love seeing what's in your bag :)
Harmonica lessons? You are my hero!! ❤️ I have the same ecoffee cup and it's the best; I've used it for leftovers on more than one occasion. 😂
You are such a sweetheart! And you inspired me to try taking my own napkin with me... hanky not quiet there yet..🙏🏻💕
love your hair, so cute and flattering!
Your eye makeup is beautiful! :D
Love the concept of the coffee cup ✨
I like your hair like this. Darker looks better on you. Brings out your eyes.
I'm fully converted to using my phone for everything. Notes, sketches, diary, calendar, store cards
I have the House of Marley headphones and also the lovely wooden bluetooth speakers. I'm a big fan.
I clicked on this video because I loved the anglophenia episodes you hosted. I'm so glad to see you're doing well. Cheers!
It's quite funn that I just recently seen the holiday:) thank you.
My first reusable bottle is klean kanteen!! I just bought it this month :)
Loved the holiday reference!
Great clip Kate and Holly. Keep 'em coming and next time I promise not to take up so much of your valuable filming time! x
Great! And also yay for your harmonica lessons ^ . ^
Just discovered your channel and really enjoyed the video. I carry a reusable coffee cup but hadn't considered the seviette!
Yes please share the mascara from Etsy if it's good. I'm giving up on homemade mascara as well 😭 it's just not working out.
Great video. I always keep a reusable bag in my handbag too. I’d love a video on zero waste gift ideas, targeted to the non-zero waste recipient. 😊
Forgot to say: one thing you've not mentioned was hankies in your bag. I have switched to cotton ones. I ordered quite a lot of them so they can go in the wash very regularly without me being short of napkins to use. I find them considerably better than disposable hankies and they save the plastic packaging. Realise this would not be advisable in a hospital setting. I had to really laugh when you mentioned your mum thought you had snaffled the napkin! Very funny!!! Have switched to cloth napkins, too, they wash a treat, look really nice and will last a long time.
lol I love ❤️ your personality!
That bag still looks great!
love her personality, seems so joy n beautiful
The bag is beautiful
Im' trying to find the best reusable coffee cup but seen as you have a variety, which do you prefer!? I have used ones with silicone lids before and found that they left an odd taste in the drink and had an odd smell? THe glass keepcups I would be worried they'd smash - how strong are they? :) What is the small stainless steel one like?
What do you use for your liquid eyeliner on top lid?? It looks so nice!
Seriously I love your British accent 😍
Love your personality! New subscriber.
I love that movie... and your videos... just found you... keep up the good and interesting videos
not gonna lie I've already watched The Holiday a couple times in the past 3 months. lol :)
mr. napkin head 😂😍😂
My friend had a similar problem with her iphone 5c. She replaced the internal battery and it fixed the problem. The battery runs down with wear over time and requires replacing. She was able to get almost a whole days use with one charge of under 2 hours :-) I also had a question I am required to wear pantyhose/tights to work and wanted to know if their is a responsible company that sell them in multiple colors and skin tones that are not made of petroleum products?
I love coconut oil as a balm.
Wowww you are such a happy person, your vds just lights my mood. Please do a vd with your husband..!!!
Hey there. I think your second-hand pen is a Louis Vuitton. I have one. You can get a refill from the store. They are all metal. Ask for the Agenda PM pen refill.
Be careful around fountain pens..they could be veeeeery addictive :D Also the choice in FP inks... sooo much to choose from :)
You are just adorable!
What are the events you go to which you mention? How can I find events where I live?
I always have cloth carrier bags with me and I don’t think I’ve had to use a subtle use bag in like... 4 years?
Any tips on how to clean a water bottle?
I really like you a lot.
Stumbled upon your channel. You are also funny
Love the diary where from please.
How do you buy things like oil (jojoba oil in this case) packaging free?
thank you for keep posting videos. you are so positive and cool, you make me want to be friends with you :)
Great video! I have a lot of similar things in my large handbag. Is it just me, or was your sound out of sync in the last half of the video?
what do you do about sunscreen and bug spray bottles? or if you diy it, can you tell us how?
cheese whiz I have seen natural sunscreen and bug spray in metal tins or for sunscreen you can add zinc oxide to diy lotions.
I love your pen! Do you remember what brand it is?
I've just found your channel today. While I don't agree with the using animal's skin or anything non-vegan (it just makes no sense to try to save the planet on one side while still contributing to its destruction on the other side), I gotta say I really like the way you are... I don't know which word I would use to describe you. Maybe just lovely.
Hopefully one day you will show compassion towards all non-human animals too. It would certainly suit you =)
Hi Kate! Could you explain why you don't carry a reusable silverware set?! Thanks
this is interesting, but I am guessing it's because in the UK there is not so much disposable cuttlery being used. For example in Asia, I always have to use my own cutlery because here whether you have take away or eat out they will give you plastic cutlery TT ! but whenever I go back to europe, that is something rare !
👍👍👍 more videos pls.
💝
Does anybody know where she purchased her journal?
FINALLY, a minimalist zero-waste advocate who isn't vegan! Subbing!
my thoughts exactly!
I seriously cannot understand all this hate towards veganism. Zero waste is obviously a great thing for the planet but doing that while consuming the flesh and secretions of living beings (who, btw, did not want to die) is doing the exact opposite.
Nice video! The content of my bag is quite similar. Thanks to you I now know that jojoba oil is supposed to be pronounced the Spanish way hahaha.
I’m pescatarian, have been vegan, have 3 pet cows, love animals to bits and I think all condescending vegans should sod off. Zero-waste does not equal vegan. I’m so pissed that the radical vegans/environmentalists scare the fuck out of people and they will never consider reducing animal consumption again because they don’t want to turn into another radical bonkers.
Beautiful handbag! I'm going for 53
Where can I get this bag????
I'd love to see a video about why yyou chose not to be vegan . i have started looking at all my vegan prodycts and how they may be having a more negative impact then some animal products and i have been doing some thinking about it , i would love someone elses thoughts on the matter
Sorry to intrude, But in my opinion unless someone has a health condition which prevent them from using dairy and other animal products veganism need not be "religiously" followed. Like here in India we are great fans of dairy products and many village homes will still take care of and love there cows and calves. They are actully treated with respect, almost like an elder in the family, if you can imagine that. In the Muslim communities there are cow sacrfices,but these cows are usually raised by the people doing the sacrificed or at least sponsored and no part is wasted, not even the hooves and hornes. And no young calf has to die. This sacrifice is seen as equivalent to parting with a beloved family member to understand the loss that everyone who loose a loved one go through . This also has a religious aspect. You can search more about these things. Eco friendly living is , as believed here, living in concert with the natural cycles, with all plant and animal and rivers and earth. we take what we need but never in a way that permanently robs mother nature of anything or harms Her in the long term. And I believe sustainable or zero waste or minimal waste living is just that .
Sorry for rambling. Please do not take offence. Only expressing my opinion, I mean no harm and definitely don't mean to preach anything.
Venessa Chevalier actually, veganism is not environmentally friendly at all, it is actually bad for the planet
music box Yeah, I’d be interested to here your take on that..
Ooh I love your accent!! Are you Australian??. I'm from Argentina. Loved the video 😘👋🌻
What happened to anglophenia
I see. Her tiny eco leather wallet is totally unethical. Who cares that she will use it for the rest of her life instead of buying new polyester plastic wallet every year as We do all the time. Chill out people! With no leather your ancestors would not survive and you would not be able to live and watch youtube and get super frustrated every day about people who don't share all of your opinions and values.
Love your videos btw! Keep doing what you doing:)
Aloha Denisa I so agree keep up the good work thank you x
Aloha Denisa So true.
But "eco leather" generally means vegan leather...
indygo19 I wanted to say ,,organic". my mistake🤓
Aloha Denisa amen!
What is organic leather?
Thats not a hand bag , thats luggage. I could use it to go on vacation with.

Seeing these comments is why I haven't tried to become zero waste. The zero waste/vegan communities are toxic and the most judgemental community I've seen in a long time. Fyi just because you're vegan or zero waste, doesn't make you any better then anyone else. It's always a competion with these people and it's a huge turn off to me and a lot of other people.
Hilary Price every little helps, just do which parts make you happy and go from there.
Great video. When you pulled out your headphones all knotted up, it reminded me of one of my favorite Portlandia skits with Jeff Goldblum: th-cam.com/video/NfLu7GRMR7g/w-d-xo.html
