This one was HARD. I'm already not the world's best chef, so I was limited to what I could make. The easiest thing for me was a carbonara. I already had a box of noodles, so I went to the farmers market at 32nd street and got fresh local peas in the pod. I also found Liberty Delight Farms there, which had the slab bacon I needed. They let me put it in my tupperware container, so that was helpful! I would love to challenge myself to more complex plastic-free meals in the future now that I know that I can bring my tupperware containers to the farmers market! Cost a little more than I'd usually spend, but the fresh ingredients really made a difference. 

As someone who expresses themselves through my fashion choices and loves variety (and someone who just moved and needs to get rid of old things), I have been essentially just switching out my used clothing for more used clothing. I've been hanging out at thrift stores and consignment shops often looking for furniture for my new place, so as I go, it's been easy for me to pack up things I'm not wearing anymore. And as the weather changes or I'm looking for new outfits for events, I check out the clothing selection. I've even taken a few pieces I got from my favorite consignment shop back to either the same place or a different thrift store. One clothing item...many lives! I've also been into maximalist style lately, so many of the clothes I don't wear often but couldn't stomach giving away are getting a second, third, fourth and fifth life as layering pieces. Sustainable fashion Tik Tok has taught me a lot this month!

Keeping my metal straw and brush cleaner with a little container of dish detergent in my bag was a good idea :) 

This was easy for me...handhelds and finger foods are the way to go for lunch in the office!
