I’m having fun these first two weeks of 2020 working on ways to include and incorporate more LESS in my life. Yes that’s poor grammar- but it’s my way of saying I’m really feeding off doing away with stuff, combining stuff and even more importantly, reducing and eradicating waste- extra plastic- extra crap that I didn’t need and won’t buy again and can do without and can lengthen the lifetime of what I’ve got… that kind of headspace.
I present Jarmazing. This company makes plastic and stainless steel pump tops that allow you to convert BALL glass jars into your last-ever spot for shampoo/lotion/soap and so on.
I walked around my home and office collecting all of the half-used containers of hand soap that had accumulated. Read: I hadn’t paid attention to what I already had and just kept mindlessly buying more. Ugh.
I grabbed them all up and one at a time placed them upside down over the ball jar to drip inside. That in itself is a fun stress reliever. ;)

… the various soaps combined to make a different color AND given different densities it became a layered soap in the jar. Like a cosmopolitan of hand soap. Winning. I threw those plastic soap containers into the recycle bin, never to be replaced or repurchased again. I’ve honestly got enough hand soap here for a nice long time. And when it’s time to refill- trust me I’ll be looking for a different option that doesn’t involve buying something in plastic.
….homemade soap recipes anyone ?!

And PS- these lids even fit on tiny ball jars and other misc jars you probably have sitting around- such as this one above, it’s the coconut oil I buy from sprouts!
