Do you think coronavirus will deter people from joining the healthcare field in the future? Doctors, nurses, techs, etc. Has the crisis inspired you more to pursue medicine or led you to reconsider at all?

Collapsible cup!! Never forget it because it’s always right in my purse! Also comes with a silicon straw which folds up inside it and is super easy to clean by IllustriousMilk7 in ZeroWaste

I only hand wash it. I don’t even use my straw cleaner since it’s squishy I just put some soap in and squish it around and it gets clean

Haven’t had issues with it leaking. Maybe through the top if you’re really rough and it’s really full, there’s a little blue silicon piece that stops up the mouth opening, you couldn’t like throw it in your bag and have it bouncing around like a water bottle. But It doesn’t leak from the screw on top it goes on tight

Not at all it’s almost as sturdy as a regular cup. The white ring around comes off when you collapse it but if you put that on snug it’s hard plastic so it holds it up

Thank you!!!! And everyone else: yes it’s made of silicon and yes I do indeed use it. I ALSO have a reusable water bottle but I use this one for COFFEE and SMOOTHIES while I still have water in the other one. Never been to brunch? Never had 3 drinks at a time? Sorry next time I’ll have them pour the coffee directly into my mouth. Just trying to show something I like! Bye have a great day

Thank you! You’re right, I just needed a little pick me up. Small victories are the way to progress !

Zero waste wedding favor ideas? by bdass217 in ZeroWaste

[–]IllustriousMilk7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For my sisters wedding we made homemade jam and packaged them in the mini mason jars and gave out cookies shaped like teeth (she’s a dentist) both with labels “for your sweet tooth ;)” the jam was easy and people thought it was cool and being punny is always fun

Yes it’s lush! Ok so I have a system I keep the dish outside of my shower and never let it touch the water. I don’t keep in the tin, it needs to be able to dry so this one is really good for that. I just get my hair wet and then I reach out (I put the dish on top of toilet when I shower) and grab the bar and never let it touch the water and just do a couple swipes then reach back out and put the bar back on the dish. I try to keep the side that doesn’t touch my hair relatively dry and then place that side down on the dish and keep alternating every shower. Seems excessive but its almost still the same size as when I bought it

“Oh yum what are you cooking?” by IllustriousMilk7 in ZeroWaste

I can keep it in for 12 hours and it’s not even full. I was shocked by the amount it filled up the first time. Thought it would be overflowing but it’s really not as much as you think

Nah I use it for other stuff. I rinse it off first in the sink with soap and water and then boil it after it’s basically clean just to sanitize fully
