I love all of these, but heads up that Young Living is an MLM, which is an exploitative business model. There are so many other great essential oil brands out there that work just as great!

Love by Staub Dutch Oven but I think I prefer my Lodge fry pan over the Staub one. My YCOHO are East Fork Everyday Bowls (the perfect bowl/plate hybrid) and the bitty bowls for tiny snacking and hosting.

Love this round-up! Thanks, H! 2 ideas for your future take on … (1) area rugs (hard to research, I realize! yours are all so lovely.) (2) what you do with clothes / household items when you’re done with them … recycle / up cycle / give away / re-sell / consign, etc etc! thanks!

The ove glove. Not cute but one of my can’t live without kitchen tools. It’s shocking how much better having five finger dexterity is!

Agree on the great jones losing their luster. I have their cookie sheets and while I love the colors, they have not held up well over time.

Kitchen towels from Geometry! Hundreds of prints/colors and super absorbent. When they look a little too worn for the kitchen I repurpose them to house cleaning task. They also make great gifts! https://www.geometry.house/collections/all-kitchen-tea-towel

Oh this is so up my alley: might I trumpet the wonders of my YCOHO tablecloth/napkin source https://kipandco.com.au/collections/table-linen/products/the-vine-linen-tablecloth# is my current Kip & Co fave. Vases I adore vintage pitchers or the wonderful resin quirkiness of Dinosaur Designs, another Australian brand. https://www.dinosaurdesigns.com.au/collections/vases

Team Staub here - I know I don’t want to maintain cast iron and feel zero shame. We own the 4 qt (?) Dutch oven - it’s a work horse and lives on top of the stove year round

I’d love to know about a dustpan and brush/broom that will pick up all the crumbs in one or at least two sweeps. Thanks!

Ok, I ordered the Wild Herb Tonic reed diffuser and it came at the perfect time, just when I returned home after a week away and realized that my apartment just smelled like my dogs even though they’d been gone for a week too. After opening up the reed diffuser, my apartment smells clean and fresh without being overpowering!! This might be my new hero home scent!!

Can I ask a genuine (probably stupid) question? I know what you mean about not wanting to see the dirty water of flowers in a vase, but how do you tell when the water is out? Otherwise…? I don’t have the time to keep peering into my vases😂
