What’s your Pokémon friend code?
Hey as someone who lives very far from the us, from the american zero waste brands because I live in Israel and since the UK is relatively close to israel I am interested in the best uk zero waste brands or maybe a company that sells sells like aton of the things I would need from different brands, like Earthhero, can I have some reccemondations?? Tnx😊
How is Madison so freaking cute?
yes
we still stan things.
sincerely - gen z
yes we do
A note on food storage: If you not sure what should be stored where (fridge vs. pantry, etc.) just look at your local grocery store for guidance! Grocery stores have to store tons of fresh produce as efficiently as possible; they know what will rot when refrigerated and what will thrive
You’re a genius!
Thredup is great and all, but I'm a little annoyed that they dont have a men's section, only women's and children's clothes. It feels a little exclusive.
There are men in this movement that want to have access to second hand clothes too. And there are gender non conforming people that want to buy less "feminine" clothes online as well.
poshmark tends to be pretty decent for having masc clothing. not amazing, but much better
plus things like poshmark let the seller get a bigger portion of the profits i believe
I love using depop! They have allll kinda of sellers and some even make their own clothes :)
I think it's that way just because they don't get enough men clothes sent to them. Men from experience they use their clothes until they die out. That's my guess it's that way.
Actually, you should try looking into Plato's Closet. My local store doesn't have online shopping, but there's another a little further away that does still offer online. They're a franchise, so that's very much going to depend on what your local one does, but they should have a men's section. Both of the ones I mentioned do. If your local one doesn't offer online then I suppose it might be an option whenever we get to the other side of the pandemic.
Love seeing a TH-camr like you promoting being careful still. I feel like lots of people are moving on already. My family and I are still being very careful! Thanks! Love to you and Madison!
I agree!! So many people are "over it" when every one should still be cautious. Very refreshing to see!
Yes!!! Everyone should still be careful. We're not out of it yet! I believe it will be worst now that Flu season is upon us. 😫
Oooooh girl you're in for a treat! :) I used to hate tomatoes until I found out that you're not supposed to refrigerate them because that takes away their flavor. Now I eat tomatoes raw as a snack all the time because they retain all their delicious flavor, especially when you grow them yourself (or your generous neighbor grows them in my case lol)
Not only can you leave tomatoes out of the fridge, you should never refrigerate tomatoes! The cold causes a conversion of sugars that changes their flavour forever, even if you later pull them out of the fridge. If you’ve got tomatoes going bad, cook them down and freeze them as a “sauce” of just tomatoes that you can use in place of canned tomatoes.
I found in an article that it really just depends on the stage that the life cycle of the tomato is in. I think this is really just a preference for flavor. If the tomato is not yet ripe, it can be left out until ripe, then put into the refrigerator to help slow down the rotting process and help retain some of the tomato's ripe qualities for longer until you decide to eat them. Unless you bought them unripe, it's not always best to leave them out unless you are going to eat them soon. Again, it's all based on the kind of tomatoes you buy, and whether or not you care about retaining it's flavor.
Maddison just taking the blender pitcher makes me feel SO validated right now. Less dishes, and less waste! (Sorry if I spelled her name wrong!)
Hi Shelbi! My top shelf is the “use me up first” shelf. Whatever is on usually ends up being a stirfry. Also the last week of the month is a no buy week for food. A creative week indeed. Stay awesome!
lol my top shelf is anything I don't mind getting half frozen 😭
This is absolute genius 👏 🙌
My understanding of tomato storage is that storing them outside of the fridge helps prevent "mealiness" in terms of the texture. I have experimented with storing tomatoes both ways and have found they last longer in the fridge.
Shelbi: don't judge me [if the fridge is disorganized]
what we see: a 50% full fridge that looks SUPER organized!! What are you talking about Shelbi it looked so good already, but the results were amazing! I need to do this for my household's fridge!
Im sorry I keep commenting this, but Maddison is literally just like my husband. He made me carry around a mug from our house to take to a restaurant, because of the virus they serve drinks in styrofoam cups. The waitress was so confused, but yeah, he does not give a damn about his choices in drink or food ware. 😅
If he is that concerned y’all should go out to a restaurant in general sorry I’m a health care worker and I can not understand people needing to go to a restaurant in a pandemic. Please be safe
priscilla L I mean that is assuming if she lives in the states because here in Canada we’re even allowed to travel within our provinces (states) so going to a restaurant here is totally okay and doesn’t go against our guidelines
@@sgill2541 I live in Texas, going to restaurants is still ok, but me and my husband do not eat out everyday. We always try to minimize our time out in the world, but life gets in the way and we end up eating out sometimes. And yes he is starting to think more eco friendly, but doesn't have a travel mug, so we had to take out house mug lol
priscilla L do you mean ‘shouldn’t’ ?? you typed ‘should’ and i’m lost at your sentence 😂
Oooo I didn't know what the point of the sliding knobs on my fridge drawers meant either! I've noticed recently how some produce needs humidity more than others and now I have to figure out exactly which ones and pick drawers for them! On the veggie bags, a friend has one she keeps baby greens and herbs in and it's basically a Terry cloth bag. I imagine you could DIY your own from an old towel or even a thrifted sweatshirt or sweatpants!
A good rule of thumb is "rot low, wilt high." If the stuff in the drawer is leafy and likely to wilt, slide it to the higher side. If it's more likely to get squishy and then rot, slide the knob to the lower side.
Along with tomato's - avacados too (people around here keep their avacados in the fridge too) the best rule of thumb- if it's not cold in the store it shouldn't be in the fridge!
In Germany no veg or fruit is cold in the store 🤣🤣🤣
If you want to stop the ripping of avocados, like if you buy a bunch on sale, put them in the fridge. I recently found this out because I eat alot of avocados but they go bad so quickly.
Freezing diced avocados for smoothies is something I just discovered. Life changed!
Just leave those avocados on the store shelf! The industry is wiping out monarch butterflies, and US millennials are some of the main consumers driving it :X
If shopping on ThreadUp from unfamiliar brands, make sure you check the measurements against your own. I had no idea how the same size can vary by as much as six inches in the waist
Madison out here living her best life with that smoothie.
Maddison is a whole mood 😂❤
How did you know the EXACT video I've been wanting! Trying to reorganize our refrigerator this week too!
I try to do this every week lol we are a big family to and I don’t like to waste food but at least I have a raccoon and she eats what ever we give ( but not grapes she hates those )
This is exactly the video I've been looking for! Moving to a new apartment next month and wanting to save as much energy/money as possible. Could we get an update on how this helped your energy consumption? Like how much money it saved on your monthly utilities bill? If you're comfortable with that!
Honestly I’ve never even thought about the energy of my fridge lol. Definitely going to try to be more efficient with it
It always strikes me when I see American fridges, they are so huge! In Europe, especially in France where I live, they are about half the size of yours. Anyways, as always, loved the video so much, thank you
In America it is normal to shop monthly. When I lived in Germany, I remember shopping every 3 or so days. This is why I think there is such a difference in fridge size. Also, the size of houses could also contribute as we have too big of houses and Europe tends to have smaller, cozy homes.
Mary Wammack America loves to supersize everything
Same here! Like I could fit in her fridge. My fiancé and his family lived in Seattle for a while and they didn’t know what to do with such a big fridge. I think in Europe is more common to shop weekly, since we don’t have those huge houses and everything in general is smaller a🙆🏻♀️
As others are saying, whenever I've been in Europe, I've gotten the impression that most Europeans buy groceries a lot more frequently. Americans tend to favor grocery shopping less often and just having more food storage space. At my peak, I was grocery shopping only once a month (I hate grocery shopping and try hard to not have to do it often). Needed plenty of room to keep things in order to make that possible.
But how do you go a month without Shopping? Like fresh food wont Last that long? Or do you only get processed/ frozen veggies?
I am 23 and I had no idea what “we stan” meant 😂
I put my greens in a container of water in the fridge to keep them fresh and perky longer !!!💕 oh, and I love 💕 that my Imperfect Food order came with a storage guide for fruits and veggies!!!!
I'm totally down with Madison's smoothie!!
You can make jam with the Figs too!
This whole video was a delight! You and Madison are so hilarious while teaching us about being eco conscious at the same time. Love all of your clothes, Shelbi!
I've always kept my tomatoes in my fruit bowl because I often eat them raw and like them to be room temperature. (I have sensitive teeth so straight from the fridge is to cold for me!)
I do the same for cucumbers and fruit, honestly... i hate eating super cold things
madison's laugh at the end was so cute lol.
I’m rewatching (listening) to all your older blogs/videos today as I pack to get ready to move. Idk what it is but the energy of your videos makes me want to keep going and get so much stuff done! Thanks hahaha love ya both ❤️
When your greens start to wilt, cut a thin piece off the stem and then soak it in cool water for about 3 minutes. That’s what we had to do at the grocery store I worked at to keep them fresh.
Also I’ve been turning off stove earlier and letting heat finish cooking the food. So thank you for that tip.
´Create the peace´ hahahaha, I died!
As a Floridian who also hates super hot weather, my fave thing about ThredUP is that u can narrow all of your searches to only include things like linen and cotton so that all of your clothes can help keep u easy breezy~
yes definitely keep the tomatoes out of the fridge! the cold air will change the texture of them so they're 1000% better tasting at room temperature
You are my favorite TH-camr of all time
Love your videos! Love how you keep it real while also being informative ❤️ I think a more in-depth style video of fridge/freezer (maybe even other kitchen appliances) efficiency could be really great though. You have a few videos that are really well produced of you diving deep into a subject, and I think there is a lot to know here that a video like that could be really amazing (if you have the time to make it).
I have one of those vegetable pouches from the brand SWAG, It was a bit pricey but it works really well. The only negative is that I don’t see what vegetables I have and I often times still forget about them
Great video! Thank you Shelbi and Madison for sharing with me.
The whole pitcher with straw is 1000% my husband 😂😂😂
I love your personality Shelbi! You seem very genuine and I sometimes watch your videos when I want to relax because even if you talk about serious topics of sustainability, you still manage to make me laugh with your sense of humor! Love your channel!
i really appreciate how much research you do for your videos, like with the fridge, so that we don't have to!
That highligther touch looks cuuuteeee!!!
Commenting for the algorithm! Also, loved the fridge research
I’m with you!....I don’t like the summer heat either!!!!!....I hide out under a fan inside on hot days.
I think the universal threads shirt looks amazing on you!
I love Madison! Such a mood!😄
Girl you’re releasing so many videos 👏👏😋 keep killing it!
I love for the light blue dress with red flowers!! 😍😍😍😍
I remember learning about the tomato thing a few years back. Basically. We should be taking notes to how the produce section in the stores are laid out. All the fruits and veggies that are in the middle of the produce sections should be left out on counters or in baskets or in a cool, dry place. (Unless they’re starting to over ripen then I toss them in the fridge or freezer to help it last a bit longer) and then all the food in the crisper sections should go in the fridge. But for some reason we all like to just toss everything into the fridge then wonder why things to bad or lose flavor or just don’t fit. 😂
Your fig happy dance was adorable btw
Your channel is amazing! It is exactly what I wanted to find to start moving my life in a more sustainable and off grid way.
Also outfit two was my personal favorite but you looked amazing in all of them! 😁
I LOVE THE LIGHT BLUE ROMPER!!! Because of my curves I have trouble finding rompers that flatter me!
Hey Shelby! An easy thing to do with the fruit from the garden it's making jam. If you seal it well you can keep it for a year or so.
The romper looks amazing on you!
I am so happy that the advertisement before this video was about zero waste shop. The world is changing thanks to such people as you☺️
LOVE the pink sweater!!! ♥
As always! Madison kills with cuteness! That rimper/jumper looked so cute & so fun! & so flattering on you! LOVE thredUP!
You look STUNNING in that floral romper - wow! The colouring and fit are so flattering on you!!
That dress with bell sleeve cuffs is 🔥 looks so good on you!
Lol "keep the peace"! Bustin' out an oldie haha
This is one of my fav vlogs on your channel, and you seem so happy in this video 🥰💕
And here I've never heard, "We stand." You do you, Shebi, and say whatever you want to say! That is why you are so loved.
Yeeyyy nice video! Love to see the sustainable things you do on a day like this 😊
I love your videos so much and that romper couldn't look better on you! 😍
Picked my first batch of figs here yesterday! They are great cooked down over biscuits, pancakes, waffles, toast, pretty much any kind of bread. I also enjoy them in a peanut butter sandwich instead of jelly.
💓apple sauce only works as an egg substitute when it’s used for moisture for something that needs less structure like a cake or bread. but for cookies or crusts you would still need a binder or levain to assist the baking powder/soda. you can do this by adding more baking powder, adding baking soda, or using 1 tbls cornstarch + 3 tbls water for every egg! thats my favorite sub for every recipe. hope this helps someone!💓
love Madison rolling up with the blender pitcher! lol
When you mentioned Raid hours I had to pause the video and go tell my boyfriend I was so excited! Playing Pokemon go, watching your videos and trying to go eco-friendly is pretty much all I do during quarantine so to see that you enjoy Pokemon too just makes me feel that much closer to you! How fun!
Love seeing your boo in the videos! ❤❤❤
Aww I've missed your videos and your personality!
I've been keeping my greens in a damp hand towel for a couple of years now. Great tip! Also, celery and carrots stay crispy longer if you store them in water. That's been a game changer!
I haven't pulled the trigger on buying on thred up. I am a cheap af person so I usually buy clothes for a quarter at yard sales or for a few dollars at a thrift store, so even though thred up offers a great discount, I am saving up for it. Plus we shouldn't be yard saleing or thrifting in store right now and that kills me 😢😢
Love your personality!😁love your hair! Cute outfits! Girl, you can say what ever you want, it’s your channel!
I love Axiology! They are palm free too. I use their lipsticks!
I have been loving your content!
The romper is SUUUPEEER GORGEOUS and definitely flatters your figure!
Love the f21 dress ! It suits you so well !!! And the color and pattern is sooo cute
Love the walks in the morning
Love that first outfit Shelbi!
Also, Madison is adorable!
I really like you vibe in this video. You seem so happy and the content is great. You inspired me to clean my fridge. 😅
I really appreciate the ThredUP tips. I have been trying to use it but I really struggle to online shop because my body portions are all over the place and every company has different measurements and sizing for women (makes no sense) but I would love to see an entire ThredUP tutorial video! I’ll keep giving it a shot. Love the premise and everything you get looks amazing on you! Love your style. :)
I remember when I visited San Antonio and the weather was insane!
But I love everything there even if I hadn't be able to adapt myself to the weather 😅.
Hugs from Mexico ❤❤❤❤
A lot of my fam lives down San Antonio it’s hot but the humidity is not that bad . I live I. Maryland and the humidity is so bad up here that 90 degrees feels worse then San Antonio’s 100 degrees . I have family in Monterrey , Mexico and they said America felt hotter then Mexico
Another great way to store your herbs is trimming a little off the bottom and placing them in a cup of water. Each time you use some, it’s best to trim a little off the bottom and put fresh water in the cup. I started doing this and it helps herbs last a couple weeks
love this video, thank you for the excellent & informative content as always. ♥️
This comes at a great time! I’m moving to a new city next week and I get to afford a whole place for myself for the first time ever and that means I get to organize everything the way I want to! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
That jumpsuit is sooooo flattering 10/10
I really need to do this but we have a heat advisory today...so watching this now and watching it later when I do it 🌻😂
Oh my god! This dress is perfect for you 😍 I’m in love~
Loved this video! You and and Madison are so cute, and I appreciate the baking shenanigans. I hear you about the heat, I live in SA as well and it is BRUTAL. Stay safe ladies!
always love watching your vids Shelbi!
I’M SO HAPPY I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL. You are an absolute angel on Earth and Madison is hilarious 🤣 love both of your energies ❤️🌟
I love that dress on you! So pretty😍 and thanks for the helpful video I was just cleaning out the fridge the other day and I felt so bad throwing out all the wasted food!
soooo many good tips on food storage here!! also love you and maddison at the end, ya'll are such a cute couple :)
Watching you dance after eating a crispy weird fig newton made me smile. Also, I had no idea about any of this fridge stuff! Who knew organizing a fridge made such a difference :o
Love the dress, looks great on you. The second outfit is the best.
Yes I found out last yr tomatoes you keep out, I find they taste better too but if you want that crisp cold taste just make whatever and refrigerate
lol you guys are so cute! I do a happy dance when... ever lol too fun! Also like the FFwd you explaining the frig
I say "bae" all the time and I'm gen z, you got this Shelbie!
I loved the first outfit! That tank top was so cuuuute on you! The romper you chose to wear is very flattering on you! I love the flowy sleeves. The fridge tips are really interesting too. I'd love to see a vlog of cleaning the coils. I have never done it so it'd be cool to see a demonstration.
love your videos commenting for the algorithm. Love you
