I've been wanting to do this for yearrrrs. Finally. FINALLYYY. It doesn't stick to glass, but it does stick to itself. 100% cotton fabric, prewash and dry. Cut with a shearing scissors to prevent fraying. (Or hem.) I opted for a 1:1:1 ratio of beeswax, coconut oil, and pine resin. Double boiler to melt. Apply less and layer the wax as needed. Mm... Spreading with a spoon did not work as well as a silicone brush. Iron under parchment paper to spread + seal. (Or bake at 200⁰ F briefly.) Hottt water + soap for clean up (hands, utensils, etc.) Cold water to clean the cloths, as needed. *A steamer can take out any wax mix spills on the floor. (We listen, and we don't judge ) I love it. It made my kitchen smell like pine and propolis.

@EATGRAEPS Yess! I might change the ratios to 3:1:1. More beeswax. I got lucky. My friend in Berkeley gave me 2 rounds. (He keeps bees and so does his dad, and he was like, "What do I do with this wax? Why did my dad give this to me?") The Universe is a giver! šŸ’“

Wipe off the excess oil first. Soak in water with some lemon skins and baking soda. Scrub with steel wool. Magical stuff.

i recently discovered this. all those little black marks? use a tiny bit of dish soap. game changer. probably works for ash from joints etc but i’m an edible girly lately so idk. (also don’t wait too long before cleaning it and also idk if this works on wood or very porous surfaces)

It’s one of those small inexpensive changes with big impact. I know it gives 1950s housewife but hear me out. Pros: - you can use the hottest possible water - keeps you from getting premature hand wrinkles - The lack of sensory input to your hands (water, soap, sponge, gross wet food) allows you to energetically and emotionally separate yourself from the task while you daydream, listen to a podcast, or watch something on a nearby screen. - after you’re done you take them off and it’s like you were never even there. The only evidence is a pile of clean dishes. - the threshold for how many dishes you can stand to do increases exponentially, you feel unstoppable. Maybe you shouldn’t take the gloves off yet, maybe you can also wipe down the counters…maybe also take out the garbage…unclog the shower drain. Before you know it you’ve deep cleaned your home. your hands remain obliviously soft and dry. Cons: - they tear sometimes and you gotta replace them I get the extra long ones so water for sure doesn’t get inside

*Native* Seed B*mbs. The local wildlife will love you for it. TLDR: Mix native seeds with soil, clay, and water, forming them into balls and then letting them dry. Long form: Native wildflower seeds, compost, clay (powder or clay soil), and water. Mix Ingredients: Combine the clay and compost in a bowl, ensuring a 3:1 ratio of clay to compost. Gradually add water while mixing, aiming for a dough-like consistency. Add Seeds: Incorporate the native wildflower seeds into the mixture. Form Balls: Pinch off small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, roughly 1-inch in diameter. Dry and Store: Place the seed balls on a flat surface to dry for 24-48 hours in a cool, shady place. Store the dried balls in a cardboard box until ready to plant. Distribute: Scatter the seed balls in your desired planting area.

I'd like a stronger affirmative/feedback that I liked a post. Somehow I click it like 5x liking and unliking it and unsure if it went through. I think the stars change color now from white to yellow.
