Did you know that over 1 billion toothpaste tubes Did you know that over 1 billion toothpaste tubes end up in our oceans every year?! That is A LOT OF PLASTIC. We can do better with @bite! #BitePartner 

Bite never uses plastic! Their toothpaste bits come in reusable and refillable glass containers, and they are made with clean and vegan-friendly ingredients.

I was shocked that it was so easy to use! The transition to Bite Toothpaste Bits was flawless. 

Bite Toothpaste Bits come in three refreshing flavors:
🪥fresh mint
🪥mint charcoal
🪥berry twist

Which one would you try?!

Here are static photos of what we created using dried flowers.

To see how we did this, scroll back to the last two posts 

Remember, when your flower bouquet is starting to wilt. 🛑✋ STOP! ✋🛑 DON’T THROW THEM IN THE TRASH. 

🌎♻️ ↡ Try These! ↡ 🌎♻️
No-Waste Sustainable Options:

🌿 Dry them by turning them upside down to hang and dry for about 1-3 days. Then use them for crafts or potpourri (See last reel)

🌿 Feed them to the trees and soil! Flowers are compostable. 

🗑 If you throw it in the trash, it just goes wasted in the landfill. 

🌸 Would your kiddos like this no-waste dried floral craft?
