Thrift Haul | Sustainable zero waste shopping
I've been decluttering and minimizing my home, but yes, I'm still bringing in "new" items at the same time. I'm weeding out what no longer serves me and trying to bring in what I feel aligns with the vision I have for my home and my life. Shopping second hand is so much more friendly to our wallets and the environment than buying new, so that's why I went thrifting for today's video. I hope you enjoy!

5 Sustainable Swaps for Plastic Free July
I see doggy waving his tale
Love my mimikaki sticks! Hubby and I have been using them for a few years. I still occasionally want a qtip though, when I feel like I have water in there, just something to dry it up. I am not fan of the silicone qtips, I think they are pointless. I stopped using Native because they sold out. I need to check out those mouthwash crystals. Hubby is a diehard Listerine fan. Great video!
Let's get something clear right now!
😆
The men in black juicer!!!! I love that thing
It’s not nearly as convenient as the glass one but I don’t care. I still really like it.
Look at those mushrooms. I feel like one of your relatives has a birthday and they like mushrooms. Lol
Lol. You know it!
charlotte ??
Ha ha. No, I guess it’s just called a Christmas spider or pavuchky as it’s called in Ukraine.
Keep everything! That's what someone on the internet told me. At 13:40 you pulled out a broken dish brush. My first thought was, why does she have a deburring tool?
😆
A good way to get an eye infection is to use someone else's eye shadow. The wrinkles across the front of the polka dot black pants look weird. The "mom" jeans, same weird wrinkles in the front on each side of the zipper.
Yeah I think I’m going to toss the eye makeup after sleeping on it some more. Hmm maybe I should let go of the polka dot pants too. I’m not in love with them and I should only be wearing what makes me feel good about myself, right? 🤔
I like all of it!!!!!
🍿🍾woohoo
Decluttering videos are so satisfying to watch. Always excited to see one from you pop up!
Yay! Thank you 💕 There’s more to come!
Hey wait! Star Trek?! Which one??
It was one of the “new” ones with Chris Pine. I think the first one he was in. Great movie! But we just have so many dvds and we rarely watch them. Plus that movie is on our streaming services often.
I'm decluttering my screw buckets.
Great job! 👏
@@BeccaDoesStuffYT We stopped at a garage sale and I got 5 more buckets with 4 stackers each for $5 each. More storage for a future declutter.
That is NOT a double boiler. You need a real one that has 2 parts, the bottom pot has water and the top pot for your product. Straight onto the job is not good.
Yeah I thought Id use my jar for the double boiler method but that obviously failed. I’ll probably try it again sometime with what I learned. I doubt I’d be doing the iron method again though. I didn’t much care for that.
@@BeccaDoesStuffYT agreed on that lol
Great video💖💖💖
I just made 40 beeswax wraps last week. I sold them to a friend from out of town so she could gift her friends back home. I used the beeswax, pine resin, and jojoba oil. I bought a medium crock pot from a thrift store. 1st I put a small round cooling rack trivet in a soup pot, filled it about 1/3 with water. Then I had a genius idea to use an old coffee pot I had saved to put the beeswax mixture in to melt. When everything was finally melted thoroughly (it took about 20-30 mins.) I poured the mixture into the crock pot and it stayed nice and hot while I painted the wraps, then ironed 2-3 wraps at a time between parchment paper. (On top of a towel of course.) If a wrap didn’t fully coat I would just brush a bit more mix on the areas and re-iron. This took me about 7 + hours to do the 40 wraps. My 1st attempt, I actually took one wrap and put it fully into the crock pot to coat but when I took it out with tongs it was hard to get it to lay flat out onto the other wrap and then iron. So, I don’t recommend that method. Oh, big tip here… after making the wraps I used olive oil to get any mixture residue off of my hands and the counter. Then just clean with soap and water and spray your countertop as usual with your regular cleaning solution.
I love the thrifted idea of using the thrifted crock pot and the olive oil! Thank you so much for sharing so many great tips! And that’s great that you were able to sell them.
I successfully made these, it was rough. I put a foil covered cookie sheet on a multi burner griddle tray on low. So it kept the sheet warm to spread the wax. I used the double boiler method with a jar, and a brush. The iron method was messy and wasteful.
I agree. It was rough for me too and the iron method was wasteful and didn’t work so well. I need to try the other methods again as some of my wraps are getting old.
I love how no matter how much I declutter the clutter pulls me back in.
😆
Hi, I see this video was made last year so I hope you see my comments. I am a beekeeper and I am finnaly going to give this a wherl. I work with wax a lot and we collect about 2 5g buckets full a year. It has to be melted and cleaned. It is very time consuming. Just like the honey it doesnt pay much for the work put in. It is a labor of love. Well, I wanted to tell you that your wraps may not be lasting as long if you are using soap or scrubbing. If the wraps are coated well the wax is going to prevent it from getting it to the cloth. It is also antibacteral and fungal just like honey. Bees produce it to make their hives, build comb wich houses their food, pollen, honey, eggs, larve, and mature larve until it hatches out. Sooo you should not need to use soap or scrub them. That will remove to much wax and make them valnurable and come off at the cresses. Just rinse this cold water and let dry. If something is stuck or gross use very little mild dish soap rub, rinse with cold water. That is why it is not permanent and need to be refreshed. However, this method will allow them to last longer. I like the meathod of refreshing using a iron and parchment paper. There would be enough resin left on the wrap that I would think you would just need a little wax to reseal those creases. It wouldnt have to make the whole reciepe and wouldn't make a mess. Also, you can get the wax off of your towel by using paper towels and a iron. Lay the paper towel over wax and apply iron and the wax will be absorbed by the paper towel. May take several attemts but saves a towel. (if you chose to use the iron method, cover your iron plate with aluminimiam foil, will prevent wax getting on your iron but still effective). Also put down something disposable or repelent under the two peices of parchment so if some wax gets pushed out the sides it wont ruin what is under it. Hope that helps. Wish me luck. I have enough wax to keep all the snow skiers in the U.S. ski's nice and slippery.
Wow! Thanks for all the great information and good luck with your wax wraps. Please let me know how they come out and what method you used. I do rinse with water only or wash with a mild dish soap, using only my hands (no brushes or sponges as I’m afraid they’d be too abrasive). I am not concerned about saving the towel, as I’ve saved it specifically for my wax wraps, but I do appreciate you mentioning how to remove the wax,because someone might want to know. I didn’t even think of putting foil over my iron! Great tip! I think I’ll do that next time, because I really don’t want to ruin my iron. Thanks again!
This comment has more useful information in it than most of the videos I've watched for this. Thank you.
Becca does lots of stuff😊 just found you're channel ❤ i also have a cleaning channel if you want to check it out the name is chananja's cozy house
Thank you! Will do!
Everything you used is compostable, just pour the water where you clean your pot, pour in the compost bin.
Great idea. Thanks!
When I can't get anything through a funnel, I'll use a toothpick.
Oh yeah, that’s smart. Lol I should have thought of that! 😆
Did you have the recipe for the one that ended up working for you?
Hi and thanks for your comment. I don’t know if I still have the recipe written down, and someone said that the video I got it from on skillshare is no longer available. However, I think I need to refresh my wraps again soon, so I’ll be sure to post a video and leave the details. And if I find the recipe before then, I’ll be sure to add it to the comments here.
Looks like those classes are no longer on skillshare :-(
That’s a bummer. I’m sorry
I use a small dense foam roller .
Interesting. I never would have thought of that. Thank you!
Pure alcohol cleaned my pot! I used rubbing alcohol. Good as new
Oooh this is an awesome tip! Thanks! I’ll have to try that.
How long did it take your pine resins to melt. One video said 3 hours!! Mine is taking forever. Like 4 hrs.😢
Wow! I don’t recall how long mine took but it was not that long. I wonder if it has something to do with the size of the resin chunks or the type of resin🤔
It took me about 20-30 mins. But you have to keep stirring and smashing and moving around the clumped resin.
If you're not opposed, you could dump the water and contents of the pot onto your yard. Obviously, it could be too hot for some plants, but nothing is toxic :)
Oh that’s not a bad idea. Thanks
And then wipe quickly with paper towle or old rag.@@BeccaDoesStuffYT
Okay the reason that your jar cracked and how to avoid it. Even canning jars that are made for high heat and pressure need something between the bottom of the pan and the jar. They make racks for that in the canners. Now I've read where some people in the water bath canners just fold a towel down in the bottom of their pot I don't recommend that idea. If you had a bigger pot like a Soup pot you can put a little round cooling rack in it or a cake pan Rack in it so the jar is not in contact with the bottom of your pot. The double boiler method is meant to be a double boiler which is a pot that sits inside of another pot so the Top Pot never comes in contact with the burner. The bottom part has water in it and that how it conducts the heat to the upper pot.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! Yeah I recently saw someone doing the folded towel method and wondered if that was a good idea or not. I have an instant pot and there’s a little metal trivet that came with it. I bet that trivet would help keep the jar from touching the bottom of the pot (Obviously wouldn’t do this in the instant pot). Thanks again!
@@BeccaDoesStuffYT yes that trivet would work perfect if it fits in your pot. And just remember when you take a hot jar out of the water you have to set it down on like a folded towel NEVER directly on the counter otherwise it will explode from thermal shock.
I was looking to make sure this info was in the comments! Great explanation!
@@ashleym.9682 thank you I was trying so hard to explain it thoroughly but not over explained.
I saw a lady use the ring to the jar under the jar between the pot
I always try the things which are expired, especially cans or processed foods are still good for way longer than the expiry date 😊
Yeah and normally I might have kept some more of these foods, but with certain health challenges I’ve had, I couldn’t afford to risk it. But I agree that a lot of the times the foods are still good after the dates stamped on their packaging.
Your video is making me feel so productive
Oh my goodness - where did you get your instructions or guidance - LOW and SLOW !
Hahaha! I had to learn the hard way, I guess.
Ps I love you!!!❤
I love YOU!
I was just getting ready to text you and say how come no videos? But then I checked your channel! Yay!!!!!
Yeah life got all lifey and I just couldn’t squeeze in a video. I was glad to be back and making this one.
We buy pumpkins to carve on Halloween but it's also a part of our tradition. I do always clean the guts off of the seeds and roast them though! For costumes, I think your ideas are great. We keep all our costumes and use them again. I try to think outside the box for costumes so that they may be used again in some way. It's better that way IMO. For kiddos getting thrift is a fantastic way because they are growing out of everything yearly. I've gotten Disney brand princess dresses there for my daughter and those retail very expensive so I also encourage everyone to check out second hand for holiday stuff. So many good things.
Thanks for your comment. 💕 Sometimes we carve pumpkins too bc it is tradition and a fun creative project. I love that you reuse and thrift costumes! Thrifting is a more eco and affordable way to go with children for sure! They grow so fast. Besides the eco aspect of thrifting, I think it’s so much more fun to have to get creative and build your own! Don’t get me wrong - Sometimes we buy new accessories to our costumes, and we also get candy in plastic wrapping sometimes. But if I can find alternative ideas to practice and share with everyone, I will. Happy Halloween!🎃
That pumpkin patch looks awesome - where is that?
That’s in Carlsbad from our trip to CA! That pumpkin patch was fun

This was a great video! Thanks for sharing your tips. I've been recently working at decluttering and deep cleaning as well as creating a schedule for upkeep and it has really helped my sanity and also just having more joy being in my home. I've been debating doing a video to share my own tips! :)
Thank you! Yes you should absolutely do a video if you’re feeling up to it. We can all use tips and inspo when it comes to keeping our homes tidy. I like your idea of creating a schedule for upkeep! I should totally do that.
You know what I love using to clean my ears? A metal ear cleaner. I barely see people using it on RUclips videos and I think it is just a great tool. I bought mine in 2014 and haven't used anything else ever since. Here you have a picture: i.ebayimg.com/images/g/xZcAAOSwOyJan6Xk/s-l400.jpg

Thanks again so much for all your help with this and listing out my channel and socials in your description! Love you, girl. You are the best!!
Of course! Thank you for allowing my audience and I to declutter with you! It’s always fun! 💕
love that low waste is admittedly ugly, because it is! the curated waste free stuff is so put on and it makes low waste fundamentally elitist or even aesthetic! thanks for this!
Absolutely agree! 👏👏👏 thank you for your comment
I do my best, definitely more glass in my house than anything, soooo many jars saved. I'm always thinking about the little bits though, and the bottle bricking is brilliant!! I'm used to the aesthetic of having so much stuff, that I know can be repurposed, and Im glad to see others are working just as hard to do their best out there!
Yes! I understand having loads of jars! 🤣 Id like to designate an organized shelf in my garage just for the random “trash” that I plan to repurpose, so it keeps it from taking over the rest of my home.
This is the real way to do Less Waste, for the planet, not the 'gram!
Finally someone with common sense.
