WasteNotSacks

Hello there! *waves* Is there anyone still there?


Happy Friday! How's it going? I know it's been a bit quiet over here as of late, but I've had a few emotional draining weeks at work, and that has left let me a bit uninspired, so the blog has been a bit ignored. But, Friday and some cappuccino has put me in the mood to catch up on my blogging again!


It's been a while since I've decided to go for more healthy eating to keep myself in shape (now, the next step should be exercising, I'll get there, eventually...) and also for the fact that healthier eating is good in itself! It all started with TokyoTombola's fruit pouches, and it's now continuing with a few goodies from Waste Not Sacks on Etsy!




I had been eying her shop for a while, and decided that instead of using plastic cutlery at work I could really use one of her Bambutensils sets (a set of bamboo utensils in a fabric pouch), and also wanted a different option to plastic wrapper for my sandwiches and since I had seen her custom sandwich wraps, I thought that was exactly what I was looking for.


None of those were available on her shop at the time I wanted to ask for a custom order, with one of my favourite fabrics as of late: Donuts & coffee! But, as luck would have it, she was more than willing to work on my custom order of a Bambutensils set & Sandwich wrap using my favourite fabric!




When I got them I knew I had made the right choice! They're super cute and super useful!


The sandwich wrap is lined in a water & stain resistant nylon that is also food safe! Not only it keep your sandwich safe, but once you open it, it'll double as a place mat to avoid spilling crumbles and the like on yourself or your desk. And can be wiped clean and even machine washed! It closes with adjustable velcro for different sized sandwiches!








The Bambutensils set is perfect for taking to work. You have bamboo spoon, fork and knife inside a cotton fabric caddy, perfect to drop into your lunch bag so you don't have to use any more plastic cutlery when eating at work or in picnics!







If you want to be more eco-friendly and avoid creating more waste AND still be in style, you need to check her Etsy shop!

  7. Very cool! I love your fabric choice, and bamboo utensils are eco friendly AND look so pretty. Just think how much waste would be saved if everyone wrapped their sandwich instead of using a plastic bag? You're starting a revolution, Pili! ;)
