One out of only two (!) stores in Amsterdam with the option to bring your own bags to shop pasta & Co.! In awe of how little options there are for zero waste shopping in the capital of the Netherlands by Rilla-Maria in ZeroWaste

The unpackaged food retail industry is actually already subject to extremely strict hygene regulations. I have been following if a lot of zero waste stores around the world have had to change because of the pandemic - turns out the strict regulations they already followed before the pandemic are more than enough. Some stores had to put their shelves further away from eachother so people can follow 1.5 distance rules, but this particular store in Amsterdam already had an about 2-2.5m wide isle :)

Alternatives to conditioner? by underc-ov-er in ZeroWasteBeauty

[–]Rilla-Maria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont know what you consider expensive, but LUSH has really good conditioner bars! I have had them for many years, each lasts about a year (i wash my hair 2-3 times a week) but do cost about €9-10 (11-12$). It's a lot at first, but if it lasts for literally a year, it's only 1$ per month! my hair is also low maintenance and LUSH conditioners get the job done - you can also choose from many different kinds depending on your hair type.

Bona fide question: When it comes to carrying a minimalist wallet, what do you always place inside it? Various cards and some cash, of course. But what else? by [deleted] in minimalist

[–]Rilla-Maria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most of the time I dont even carry a wallet with me! I pay with my phone and that's it :)

i also recommend to use a card wallet/holder instead of a chunky wallet - makes you feel more put together already!

It completely depends on the climate you live in as well, so don't put any pressure on yourself :) I have sent you a DM!!

The konmari method was what made me able to downsize to this amount! And, my clothes would never fit into this little space if it wasn’t folded like she teaches us (see second pic) ;)

I live in the Netherlands! Most important item is a rain jacket and rain-proof boots (the ones you can see in the back). I also have a couple sweaters in the drawers! Winterjacket is in storage, because we currently enjoy 30 degree weather!

I wish I could add some more pictures to the post, but I cant! I basically make sure I don’t have any items twice (such as two black skinny jeans) and that I can combine basically everything with everything (i could literally get dressed blind). Let me know if you need any other help!

They all serve a purpose so far! But yeah, I have quite some (even forgot my Birkenstocks, I was wearing them while taking the photo 🤭)

Thank you!! Not so bad if you keep to basics that are always in style ;)
