In today's video I share with you how I go about resetting my zero waste routing after travelling. There are some sustainable swaps that I love, some zero waste items I don't love so much and a few I regret buying. I always find after being away from home that it's comforting to get back into my minimalist and sustainable routines.

Immi you have done really well this past year ( I've been following you for ages). Firstly you have inspired folks to grow their own. Secondly, you have inspired folk to try to cook their own. Thirdly, you have been candid about the struggle between seeing your partner and using aeroplanes. Fourthly, you have a voice, and visuals that are very soothing, beautiful, and reassuring. You are honest about when you make a mistake etc etc. Dont under estimate yourself, girl! Yours is the kinda voice and presence we need in troubled times.
Thank you so much Lyn!! That means a lot
Your vlogs give me the feeling that everything really will be ok
I think you have done more than you know. I just planted some vegetables and I’m about to start composting and it’s because of you!
thank you, Sarah. That's lovely to know.
10:32 - Immy, you have purchased a Wild Rice Mix 😃 I thought I would just mention here a bit of helpful info. Wild Rice is often grown and harvested by First Nations people in the lakes and streams of Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan (🇨🇦). It is actually a type of grass (not rice) which is organically grown and harvested by hand in canoes using traditional methods. Wild Rice is incredibly nutritious and very versatile in cooking. It is often quite expensive simply because it matures slowly, and it is only available for harvest during the summer months in remote northern areas… and this is why it is often sold in a mix with traditional rice. I just thought I’d mention that if anybody is interested in supporting First Nations people/First Nations small business, and using organic and sustainably grown and harvested foods, then Wild Rice is a great staple to have in your pantry. Immy, if you see this comment, I want to share with you and others, that your Mom’s Mushroom Soup recipe is uber-delish with the addition of Wild Rice or a Wild Rice Mix (and, ofc… dumplings!!). Thanks for reading this, I hope it was helpful/interesting 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary🇨🇦
I forgot to mention in my previous comment that Wild Rice is high in protein and low in fat which makes it a super-awesome addition to a plant-based diet (or any diet). Ⓜ️ary🌿🥣
If you're still looking into using "old bread" you should search some portuguese recipes, like rissóis, or açorda (which I'm sure can be made vegan, even though they aren't originally) since we use old bread and by-products in almost all of our traditional recipes. I mean, most of our Christmas sweets are made with days old bread 😄
I cut my old bread into cubes, dry them out in the oven at 180F for an hour or two, let them air dry for an additional day and then blend them up. There's 0 moisture that way and they blend up much finer and they won't (in my experience) go bad. I keep them in an air tight mason jar in the pantry and just keep refilling it as needed.
Absolutely adore your videos, currently catching up with some older ones I missed. Was so surprised to hear your comment in this one about not having achieved much this year. Just the other day, I was raving about you to my husband 😅 I showed him your insta and RUclips, made him watch your recent videos and how incredibly well made, inspiring and thought provoking they are. And how I couldn't believe how talented you are - doing work that would take an entire team at a production studio. I think you should be incredibly proud of all you do, each thing that you produce is not only of the highest quality and so professional, but is also so inspiring and a force for good. Xx
Wow your hair looked SO luscious and defined after the wash. Stunning coils😍
Using masa Hadrian is super easy and you actually don’t need to let it rest. Usually we just add water and leave the salt to the fillings. My mother used to take fresh tortillas of the griddle sprinkle with salt and squeeze it into a straw shape and we would munch on that while we waited for our meal to be ready.
I like the way you're always enjoy your coffee, tea, and food. the tortillas looked yummy! Thank you for your videos, I look at them quite often.
Life is interesting when we attempt to balance the see-saw of daily home-based routines with that of the spontaneity of travel. For me, when I travel I appreciate the predictability of my home-life, and when I am immersed in my home & work routines, I appreciate the freedom of travel. Immy, I’m really excited to hear your thoughts on this topic in today’s video. As per ushe… I just know I’m gonna love the Live Chat too. 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary💕
Thanks for being nice 🙂
I love Canadian culture and you proved people are friendly thr
@@syedfarooq1284 Your comment made my day!! Thank-you for being so awesome!! It was great chatting with you briefly in the Live Chat. It’s very exciting that you are thinking of coming to 🇨🇦 to do your Masters (did I get that correct?). Ⓜ️ary🇨🇦
@@marycharlebois6627 Canada is always my dream and master is a reason for it.but i don't know i get seat for master or not .
I always looking way to come to Canada and can't explain how much i love canada
@@syedfarooq1284 I, too, hope you can come to 🇨🇦 one day and enjoy your studies at the same time. It’s a big country with lots of space, interesting experiences, and many friendly folks. Ⓜ️ary🏔💦🌲
Thank you for your calming and beautifully shot videos Immy ❤
Thanks for sharing your garden update. I have been immersing myself in grow-your-own and allotment content recently, which is great to get an understanding from those super knowledgable. But I really appreciate coming along on your journey of discovery and helps me feel less overwhelmed by feeling like a total novice and keeping on top of the gardening tasks!
I absolutely love your videos! They are always so calming and just a real pleasure to watch. After your last years videos about the garden I really wanted to grow some vegetables myself. Turns out my boyfriends parents didn’t use their garden at all - now there are tomatoes, paprika, zucchini, pumpkin and all kind of things growing. I just love being there and watching “my” plants grow. Without your videos I maybe wouldn’t have done that, so please keep producing such wonderful content! ☺️
Isn’t it one of life’s most rewarding experiences to nurture and watch your own veggies grow? It’s really fun thinking of how you will eat/cook them, and also knowing how much good you’re doing for the planet (as well as your wallet). I get the same veggie-buzz!! Have a great day and enjoy your garden. Ⓜ️ary
Just so you know I use my left over bread ends for bread Crumbs and I make a garlic oil and bake the extra bread and it lasts in a jar on a shelf for a looong time I think the one time a jar didn't get used for almost a year and it still seemed like the day I put it in
May have to watch this again because your voice and visuals are so calming. Love seeing the zero waste shops there. There is only one in my town and I am planning a trip there soon. Northeast Ohio (Midwest U.S.) is extremely meat-focused, so it's hard to find anything even vegetarian let alone vegan.
Hi lovemink2… nice to see you here in the comments again. I feel ya on the meat-focused situation. I live in northern 🇨🇦 in the fishing, hunting, and ranching capital of the world and there are no vegan or vegetarian options where I live either. My partner and I grow, harvest, preserve, and cook at home a lot. I hope you are doing well and your summer is shaping up nicely. 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary
Yes it is authentic the tortilla press
I love your content and always find it helpful! Even videos that don’t share much information but are simply slow and relaxing remind me to do the same. Out of the creators I follow, I look forward to your posts (RUclips and IG) the most. 😊
I saw that real! it was a great one. 😊 I love how you included the prices from the zero waste shop.
Absolutely loved this video and the peaceful energy you bring to my days🌳
I love coming back from traveling to my normal routines, to my garden because it’s a lot easier to be zero waste when you’re home
Your hair looked really good
I just got back from a trip last week and I feel the same way and am also getting back into my zero waste routines. I need to get better at zero waste travel!
Such a beautifully curated video. You’re doing a wonderful job sharing and educating us. Thank you for your effort and positivity ❤️❤️
You’re doing a great job Immy!
Such a relaxing and helpful video. Especially as I just got back from traveling with family (who are not low waste or plant based like me)
We really enjoyed this video. Thanks Immy ❤
I’m from Mx 🇲🇽 and your tortillas look great 👍🏼👏🏽
I wish I had a garden… one day…. Soon hopefully
honey your videos have helped me so much! ❤ i watch anything you create because i know that your content is always intresting. i love your videos and do enjoy them a lot ❤
i know it might be too much work on top of your busy life... but have you thought about saving seed? chard seed has such a lovely shape. and it feels so special to plant seeds you've tended!
Glad to hear the as I am leave in conditioner bar is good. I signed up to be notified when it was back in stock only to be disappointed by there being no option to ship outside of the USA. I'm hoping the will ship internationally soon.
Shame I can't buy those bars in Denmark, would have liked to try them.
Lovely video, thanks! :)
Im from Mexico live in New York USA now . tortillas with the store bought masa are good enough.. around me there is no way of getting fresh corn grind flour so I just use store bought masa . tip is to mix the flour with warm water and let it sit around so it can rehydrate. if they bubble up its done right . it takes a while to get the hang of it.
Thank you so much for sharing, I'll definitely do this next time!
The shampoo bars sound great. I'm personally really loving the shampoo and conditioner/cowash bars from ethique for curly hair, they're huge, last forever and smell amazing! No leave in conditioner though unfortunately
Thank you Immy! I am going to make naan bread (Nisha Vora's channel) today and hope to keep that a habit...trying to propigate basil plant I bought a while back bit it's not doing too well :( and I've planted a sort of wild garden several years ago that actually does take a bit of up-keeping, despite the name. Take care! XOXO Chicago, IL
Love it, I would try this recipe!
it would be really interesting if you made some videos where you explain how to grow vegetables 😍
I defitnitly need to work on this. Could you do a video on suggestions or ideas on how to go about this practice when you feel you are moving away from it some?
What is the little squeeze bulb device you are using to water the lettuce and basil seedlings at the end of your video? It looks like a very gentle way to do this and I have never seen one of these before.
I am wondering the same.
How did you make the breadcrumbs? I assume crushing the old bread or pulling it apart.
Have a great day immy
what shoes are those black ones? I'm looking for that kind of shoe and would appreciate to know 💚
Can you buy these sprouting lids anywhere separately?
Looooovvvvveee the soap/shampoo/conditioner "dishes" where did you find those? .....P.S...Still watching the video, you have done more than enough! Love the content and inspiration please keep it up! 💚
do those shampoo bars etc ship to the uk?
Does anyone have tips for composting in an apartment with roommates? There's a compost collection service but I'm not sure how my roommates will react to me keeping food scraps in the freezer.
Explain why you are doing it. Tell them its an experiment and that you will stop if it doesn't work out. Make sure you label your scraps box clearly. Well done for thinking of this ( oops didn't mean to sound patronising - but its - oh heck it would be a long explanation!)
The fire escape is also a good place to keep it, if you’re not worries about critters.
I can’t find the tortilla recipe you mentioned. Am I just not seeing it?
❤
I don't think most people want to know where their food comes from. Sometimes when I try to tell people about animal products they get angry at me. I think people should stop being to ignorant
I eat meat (and do not feel well without, but buy brands with better animal welfare), but agree. People should at minimum be educated where things come from and approximately how the production goes on. And it could make some people take more responsible/ethical choices (but keep in mind poor people have few choices, and people also have different needs regarding their health). Avoiding knowing is just avoiding responsibility, and making people too distanced from nature as well
Where is the tortilla recipe??? :)
Both shampoo & conditioner are sold out😔
My mom can teach you how to make chapati / tortilla . She makes world's roundest chapati
I am vegetarian and I eat dairy products. Can you tell why milk/dairy products is not allowed in vegan lifestyle ?
Im not vegan but I can tell. Its still exploiting animals, and actually causing some suffering and killing unless you own your own cow (eg. because bulls dont produce milk, you dont need many bulls to fertilize cows and most will probably be killed before even reaching adulthood because that's more profitable/resourceful). The calf gets separated from the mom which may be emotionally bad for them both. They still live in captivity and maybe have reduced well-being due to cramped space. Or not being bred for the best health but "performance" instead etc. Animal products take more resources and land to produce than plant food per calorie, and farmed cows are actually the worst animal there. Not saying you're not "allowed", but I think one should know about the life of the animal behind when consuming any kind of animal product, so then you cant take informed decisions.
Not everyone does well on a vegan diet, I certainly did not, and I think whats needed for optimal health and overall well-being and energy in your everyday really is needed and not "wasted" if it takes some extra resources. But there are some animal products more ethical than others, that give their animals much better living standards during most of their life than the bare minimum (which tend to be very bad for farmed animals)
I personally see no point in being vegetarian but not vegan if you have to buy the products, as opposed to keeping your own chickens/cattle/goats for milk/eggs. where you actually could avoid killing associated with it. Thats not gonna happen in commercial practice
@@zakosist Where I live Animal feed is not produced . It's the remaining feed after the harvest of the crops which is fed to cows. So I don't think it takes up much resources. There is animal harm in obtaining milk which I agree, but protein rich ingredients vegetarians don't have many options other than milk. Through milk processing there can be 100s of products. And animal harm is not always the case as my milk comes from my own farm. So I don't think there is no point in being vegetarian if it's not vegan
@@zakosist eggs / chickens are non-vegetarian
@@madarauchiha2584 I specified there is no point in being vegetarian but not vegan "if you have to BUY the products", not if you have your own farm. Chicken eggs (not the chicken itself) are vegetarian if not fertilized, but its subjective what each vegetarian allows in their diet (obviously not meat)
You may be partially right about the protein thing (and maybe part of the reason I felt terrible with vegan diet, but I think there are multiple things combined). But plants have proteins and there are people on a fully vegan diet, some apparently thrive. Not everyone though. Its still harder to get enough proteins with only plants and some dont digest those proteins very well which makes that issue even worse. I have heard there is some difference between different ethnicities how well their body handles plant proteins, and those from scandinavia cant use it very well while people who come from tropical climates use it much better as they naturally have edible plants all year around, that makes sense.
Since its generally not harmless to animals, thats the explanation why vegans dont consume milk. Vegans have about zero tolerance for using animals in a way that may harm or kill them.
I personally dont think killing for food or using animals to some extent is wrong, but they shouldn't spend their life in misery
@@zakosist killing animals for food or any reason is utmost wrong. And egg is not vegetarian, how will you know beforehand if the egg is non-fertilized. It's a potential source of life , so it's non-vegetarian according to me.
if your breadcrumbs are properly dry they will last you 5000 years
