I’m working on the details of the guest bathroom renovation while looking forward to the master bathroom renovation. Well planning actually. I’m not looking forward to this even more involved project where are water leak began.
Anyway.
I would have liked to add a bidet in the bathroom to save on toilet paper because according to Tushy it takes 37 gallons of water to make a roll of toilet paper and most people use 1.5 toilet rolls a week! That is a lot of water to flush down the drain, which doesn't include the amount of water it takes to flush it all down the drain.
But more importantly, with a bidet, even if you run out of toilet paper at the time you need it most, you have an option.
Unfortunately all of our condo bathrooms are too small to add a free standing bidet. I didn’t think much more of it until friends raved about just installing a bidet toilet seat. I was intrigued. A bidet toilet seat attachment I can do. Then I promptly forgot about it because I'm awesome like that.

Zero Waste on a Budget: How to Grocery Shop without a Bulk Bin Store
After seeing the explosion of zero waste ideas online (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing,) I get a little worried that people may not try or quit because they aren’t meeting the strict one year’s full of trash in a jar “standard” they see shown on social media.
Which is a bummer because Zero Waste living isn’t black and white or should be so restrictive it is a struggle.
Or at least it shouldn’t’ be.
In reality, shifting your mindset to a lower waste living is much more sustainable because it takes into consideration what you have available locally, what you can’t, or don’t want to give up. Are you seriously going to deny grandma life saving medication because it comes in a plastic bottle?!
Often how zero waste you can go depends upon what is available where you live. Fill your own container bulk bin sections and stores are fairly anemic around here because local code enforcement strongly reminded everyone that shoppers have to use store provided containers. Winter means nothing grows here for 6 months out of the year. Sadly zero waste utopia doesn’t mention that. So what do you do?
You do it by concentrate on reducing and stop focusing on the zero - without guilt.
Guilt is not productive. Trying is.

DIY Poo Pourri Air Freshener Spray
I’m sure you are aware of those times when the air in a bathroom needs a little immediate help to clear the room of…uh…um…odor.
Even though I wasn’t thrilled with the synthetic ingredients (although now Scent Fill makes natural essential oil refills for Glade and other brand plug ins, ) I had scented oil plug thingies in each bathroom for that purpose. Once they became available, I upgraded to pluggable wax melt warmers similar to these and use a locally made vegetable wax and essential oil wax melts for my bathrooms. They work just as well, and I like that I easily scrap the last bit of wax from a dead candle into the smaller wax warmers to keep enjoying the scent. I am the only one who buys a candle and can never seem to find the same scent when I need to replace it? (Disclosure: I am including affiliate links for your convenience.)
Unfortunately, there are still times when your bathroom needs a little more immediate or preventative air quality attention. Does a room freshener exist without the synthetic ingredients?
Yep, it sure does and it is the perfect thing for zero waste, natural living, and budget minded folks.
Or you just want something prettier than a can in your bathroom, that’s cool too. *raises hand*

A day without power tools is like a day without sunshine.
Well, almost.
It gets pretty gray and overcast around here during the winter, power tools or no.
I used a wet tile saw for the first time and didn't lose a body part. Go ME!
(And a nice little shout out for tool rental companies. Woot for quality and budget friendly tools!)
