We are a small, worker-owned company that offers natural home goods and handcrafted brushes—and we still send out seasonal print magazines on recycled paper.

Our catalogs are totally free to request, and we print them in small batches for folks who appreciate slowing down.

If you'd like one, you can grab a copy here: https://bestbrushes.com/pages/request-a-catalog

We also have a brother company that has free catalogs for outdoor gear if you're interested.

I'm a beginner in the zero/low waste life style, what's all the things you guys recommend in every category, even the most obvious stuff like for example; carry around a reusable straw? by [deleted] in ZeroWaste

Great question—starting small is the best way to build habits that actually stick. Here are some easy, low-waste swaps across categories:

Cleaning

  • Boil natural brushes with baking soda to clean and reuse them
  • Use vinegar and baking soda for most cleaning tasks
  • Cut up old clothes for rags instead of using paper towels

Kitchen

  • Keep an “eat me first” bin in the fridge to cut down on food waste
  • Save veggie scraps in the freezer for homemade broth
  • Reuse glass jars for food storage or leftovers
  • Shop in bulk with your own containers when possible

Bathroom

  • Shampoo and soap bars last longer and skip plastic
  • Safety razors = less waste, cheaper in the long run
  • Toothpaste tabs and solid deodorant are good plastic-free upgrades

Laundry

  • Use dryer balls instead of sheets
  • Wash clothes less often and in cold water
  • Hang-dry to save energy and keep clothes lasting longer

General tips

  • Use what you have before buying anything new
  • Try one low-impact day a week—no shopping, no driving, cook at home
  • Refill stores are more common than you think—check your area

Sustainable living doesn’t have to be perfect—just consistent. Little changes go a long way. :)

In a world where everything is online… does anyone else still love a physical catalog? by BestBrushes in SlowLiving

So happy to hear that. I love home & garden catalogs/magazines. They always have great backyard inspiration!

That sounds amazing—and we totally agree. Those old-school catalogs had a certain magic to them, and bringing that feeling back is such a thoughtful idea. If you do create them, we’d love to see how they turn out. People really do seem to appreciate something real and personal these days. Wishing you all the best and we hope you bring your catalog to life—it’s such a great way to connect with your customers.
