    i actually LOVE that you show the same items over and over. it just means they not only work but also last and are easy and convenient to use

    I just got the idea while looking at the video: would you consider, if at all applicable to you, a video where you talk about how you "change" the use of items that no longer work for you in their first intended purpose?
    Like, for example, I have an old coin purse that was abandoned because I stopped using cash altogether (or very nearly) and I started using it to keep my cords and cables instead of having them tangled in my bag - I think it would be great to have your input on how to "repurpose" items in a way that works for you

    Take the bag to a shoe repair place. They will also repair those straps on the bag. They have the right stitching machine to get thru thick materials. My shoe repair place has a luggage repair service (zips/handles on suitcases etc) so they have industrial grade machines.

    i think my goal right now in my zero waste bag is to make it lighter. for years, i'd take everything i could possibly need just in case. all it did was go unused and make my shoulders hurt. now i'm happy with just a tiny water bottle, a straw, a fork, keys, & my phone! and if i'm just going to grocery store, or to a friend's home, i'm good with even less!

    I usually buy a new calendar every year, but lately I’ve been thinking of just getting a refillable calendar or atleast a refillable notebook. That way I can customize it just the way I want it. I got a regular hardcover calendar this year that didn’t have dates, and I’m absolutely in love with it!
    I tend to go back and forth using my phone calendar and a physical one, so I’d save alot of paper by getting a refillable one. Much like the one I have now, they also sell refill pages without printed dates (and regular ones with dates of course) so I can just start again on the next page without having to skip weeks or months ahead after a period of mainly using my phone calendar. And I’m very much a list person, so being able to add in list sheets wherever I’d like is very exciting lol

    I have ADHD so I'm prone to forgetting things, so sometimes I'll buy duplicates of my zero waste swaps. I have two different bags I use (one is a diaper bag and one is a small one, just for me).

    Omg, I developed this horrible habit of keeping every receipt I get and during these 2 years, I've accumulated quite a lot of them.
