Need For Regular Dryer Vent Cleaning in Pembroke Pines and Miami Beach, FL

Staying in the same home for years is common, especially when the occupant owns the property. Unfortunately, the structure is prone to wear & tear and may need renovation or reconstruction occasionally. While hiring the services of a general contractor is not too problematic, trying to get rid of the dust, dirt, and pollutants after the project is over can be highly challenging. Sure, the workers would do a cursory cleaning before leaving the site, but that is certainly not enough. It helps to engage a team of cleaning professionals for effective post construction dust clean up in Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, FL.

Almost all residents are shocked to find fine dust particles creep into the nooks and crevices once the home begins functioning properly. Thankfully, the cleaning crew includes professionals who are determined to do a thorough job and dispense their responsibilities. Some of the must-do tasks following construction at home include the following:-

Vacuuming the Carpets & Upholstery- Yes! The dust can be swept away from the floor and brushed from the table tops and other surfaces. It settles within the fine fabrics of pricey carpets and expensive upholstery that must be cleaned meticulously. Running a vacuum over these items may help to remove the grains that cause itchiness and irritation. It is a good idea to vacuum multiple times repeatedly to get rid of the fine dust.

Wiping Hard Surfaces- A white powdery film of dust that settles on all flat, hard surfaces mars the appearance of one’s home. Using a duster or dry cloth to wipe the dust from the surfaces can be the best way to eliminate the dust. It is essential to begin with the walls that require a quick wipe from top to bottom too. The furniture and cabinets must be aired with the dust wiped carefully away. It is essential to pay attention to the hard-to-reach corners within a cupboard or cabinet before sweeping the floor once again.

Air Vent Cleaning - The HVAC system is extremely sensitive and requires dust removal from the vents of the ductwork. A professional cleaner could access the vents thoroughly and carefully eliminate the dust, dirt, and debris to improve indoor air quality. It is vital to remove the dust-laden air filters and replace them with new ones to eliminate the flow of contaminant-riddled air.

Small things Matter- The small fixtures and furnishings should be checked carefully and eliminated of dust too. While the curtains and coverings may be washed and dried, the following need to have the dust removed carefully to ensure perfect functioning once again:-

· Light Fixtures

· Lampshades

· Ceiling Fan blades

· Decorative items

· Small home appliances

· Electronic devices

Regular dryer vent cleaning in Pembroke Pines and Miami Beach, FL, must be requested from a company with a proven track record of providing such services. Failing to do it increases drying time and eventually becomes a fire hazard.

@littlemixand1direction asked: I'm not sure if you are taking requests right now, but I would love to read a chapter where Rick takes her to the army reunion as mentioned in the wedding chapter

If I Go Universe - 165th's Reunion Special (Rick Flag x OC)

Summary: Rick's old army unit is having a reunion and he brings Delphia along with him. But he had kinda forgotten how all his old army buddies are a bunch of little shits.

Pairing: Rick Flag x OC (Delphia Holman)

Word Count: 3230

Warnings: language, rick flag being one soft man, slight jealous!rick, suggestive language, universe crossover woops

Timeline: December 2016 (been together 3 months at this point)

if i go masterlist

A/N: Fuck it! My universe now! Welcome to the If I Go Universe, Triple Frontier boys! And I know the gif is technically an air force dress uniform and not green beret...but it serves the same purpose of making my pussy pop (??? I'm so sorry)

Delphia had been to Miami one other time with Waller on a business trip. She didn’t get to see much of it then, and she wondered, as Rick pulled into the convention center parking lot, how much of it she was going to see this time. A weekend excursion for his old Army company’s reunion didn’t leave much room for sightseeing. Especially when the whole thing was kicking off with a huge dinner, speeches, and mingling at some boring convention center ballroom.

“Thanks for comin’ with me,” Rick sighed as he put the car in park.

She looked over at him with a smile. He looked good. Really good. Dress code was dress uniforms and black tie for guests. Which meant Rick was wearing his green beret uniform, bedecked with polished medals and fresh from the dry cleaners — not a stain or wrinkle in sight. And Delphia was wearing a satin bodycon dress in a dark shade of blue, high heels, and hair curled and all. Rick almost hadn’t let her leave the hotel room in it, wanting instead to just leave it on the floor. But she worked hard to look this good — and so did he.

“Of course,” she said, “That’s what girlfriends are for.”

As she got out of the car, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Rick’s cheeks pink. A shy sort of smile tugging at the corners of his mouth before he followed. The kind of bashfulness that comes when you’ve only been dating for three months. For some people, maybe not long enough to be accompanying their significant other on a weekend trip for a reunion.

But Delphia could feel it. Down in her bones. That Rick Flag was it for her. There was no need for second chances, or plan b’s, or new romances. She got it right on the first try with him and there was no way in hell that she was letting him go.

At the welcome desk, they were given a packet with Rick’s name stickered to the front. Filled with a list of speakers, seminars they could attend, a list of good local restaurants, and an itinerary for the weekend.

“Wow, you guys don’t mess around,” Delphia commented as she flicked through it all.

“We’re ex-military,” Rick explained, hand on the small of her back to guide her into the ballroom while she continued to glance through all the papers, “We live and die by a schedule.”

“At least the few hours they have scheduled for the beach sounds fun.” She closed the folder and smiled up at him.

God, he was so glad she came. He couldn’t imagine going to this thing by himself. In fact, if she hadn’t spotted the invitation on his kitchen counter and asked him about it, he probably wouldn’t even be there right now. Rick blanched when she showed it to him — mouth open and ready to give some excuse about why he couldn’t go. Even though he had plenty of forewarning and vacation days to use. But then the way she smiled at him, held out the invitation and told him to go, it was the only and last bit of convincing he needed. Then she offhandedly mentioned she had some vacation days to use. Then she told him she bought a new dress. And suddenly he was buying two airplane tickets instead of one with her arms dangling over his shoulders. He liked it. He liked to know that she squeezed his hand tight during takeoff. That she loved to people watch in airports. That she saved her tiny bag of pretzels for food emergencies and had about twenty of them already in her carry-on. That she liked the window seat best and would point out funny shaped clouds.

He liked it and it would take a while for him to admit to himself that he loved it. That he loved her.

The ballroom was average, but it was already pretty full of men in their shining dress uniforms and their partners. Rick steered them over to the seating chart board and quickly scanned the list of names.

“Ah, shit,” he huffed when he spotted their names.

“What?” Delphia asked as she squinted at the list.

“We’re sittin’ with the fuckin’ Delta Force — table twelve.”

“And what’s so bad about sitting with them?” she whispered as they walked towards the table, eyeing the few men who were already seated there.

“Cause they’re a bunch of fuckin’ idiots,” he muttered into her ear, but then he was pulling away with a smile and an outstretched hand, “Catfish! Miller! How ya been?”

A man with messy hair and a scruffy beard who looked uncomfortable in his dress uniform stood from his seat first with a smile. He took Rick’s hand and forced him into one of those back-slapping embraces that Delphia didn’t really understand. The man didn’t look anything like a catfish. He had wispy facial hair sure, but nothing like those long whiskers the fish possessed. If anything, he was ruggedly handsome with that crook in his nose and those soft brown eyes. Then a man whose blond hair was cut in a severe military style and the brightest blue eyes Delphia had ever seen came up to Rick and gave him a bone crushing hug. Or maybe he was Catfish? He didn’t really look like one either.

“Flag, holy shit,” Catfish said with a bright smile that made his eyes crinkle, “Didn’t think you’d make it to this thing.”

“Oh, or do we have to call you Colonel Flag now?” Miller asked with a smirk.

“If you ever get yourself thrown in Belle Reve Penetentary, yeah,” Rick chuckled.

“Jesus, still can’t believe you took that gig.” Catfish shook his head, arms crossed.

Rick shrugged. “Pays well. Keeps me busy.”

“Not busy enough!” another voice chimed in.

Delphia watched, an amused smile on her face, as a tall, brown haired man with a beard came up behind Rick and clamped his hands down on his shoulders — roughly giving them a shake.

“Tom!” Rick explained once he turned and saw who it was. “How’s it goin’?”

“Good, good,” Tom laughed as he straightened out his jacket.

“You got two little girls now, right?”

“Yeah, not so little anymore though. Almost teenagers now.”

“Shit,” Rick said with a shake of his head, “We’re gettin’ fuckin’ old.”

“Tell me about it — this is the fifteen year reunion. Fifteen years since we were all measly little privates,” Miller said.

Delphia set down her clutch and the packet at her chair, content to just grab the dinner menu and look it over while the men talked. She liked it. Liked to know that old stories still made him laugh with his head thrown back. Liked to know that his handshake was firm and sincere in every way. Liked to know that he still cared deeply about these man who hadn’t been on his team for fifteen years.

She liked it and it would take her awhile to admit that she loved it. That she loved him.

“Flag, you gonna introduce us to your girl or what?” Tom asked with a finger pointed at Delphia.

Rick turned to look at her. Shit. He had nearly forgotten she was there. But she didn’t look mad sitting there in her assigned seat. She looked content, happy even, blue eyes shining as she watched him catch up with his old army buddies. He motioned for her to stand up as he moved over to her.

“Fellas, this is my girlfriend — Delphia Holman.”

He noticed out of the corner of his eye, as she shook hands with Miller first, that she was blushing something fierce. Was that the first time he had introduced her to anyone as his girlfriend? It was. And it made his insides feel all warm like he was drinking whiskey.

“Nice to meet you boys,” she told them all, finally understanding who Catfish was.

“So — how’d you two meet?” Will asked with a smile.

“Er, work actually.” Delphia glanced up at Rick with a smile.

“Wait, you’re not — ?” Frankie questioned cautiously with a furrowed brow.

Delphia knew what he was insinuating, and so was Rick. They gave each other a look. Well, yes. Technically she was. But no one was supposed to know that except people with extremely high clearance in ARGUS. She was Waller’s secret weapon and Waller liked to keep it that way — secret.

So Delphia lied. “No, no. I’m executive assistant to the big boss. Met Rick when the program started three years ago.”

Now there was one lie she was actually good at telling. One she had had her entire life to practice.

“Wow so you guys have been together a long time, huh?”

“Oh, uh — “ Rick rubbed at the back of neck like he always did when he was embarrassed. “We’ve only been together about three months.”

“Aw, little Ricky couldn’t find the balls to ask out the girl,” Will laughed teasingly, “Typical. Ya know, there was this one time back in o-eight — “

“Don’t tell that story,” Rick ordered.

“Oh, no, please do!” Delphia chimed in, looking up at Rick with an open mouthed smile and wiggling brows.

But he was saved by their old commanding officer taking up the mic, causing the speakers to boom loudly, and telling everyone to take their seats. Delphia gave the other boys a wink and a nod, saying she would remind them to tell her later, as they all sat down. Rick chuckled as he took his place beside her. Thankful that she was taking his old friends' jests in kind.

She leaned in close to his side as they listened to the opening speech. Something about camaraderie, dedication, and how all of their blood ran red, white, and blue. Her hand snuck unto his knee and gave it a gentle squeeze every few minutes. Not to grab his attention, just some sort of internal impulse that she had no control over. His arm was draped across the back of her chair, fingers tapping at the skin of her shoulder. And when he tugged at the strap of her dress she gave his knee a particularly hard squeeze. She glanced over at him with a knowing smirk, and when he winked at her she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Rick wasn’t sure that his blood ran red, white, and blue anymore. He was pretty sure that it ran bright red for Delphia Holman.

Their old commander said something about tables being dismissed to go get food at the buffet by the wait staff and then he was gone. There was a round of applause. Then the chatter picked back up and suddenly the ballroom was abuzz again with laughter and old stories.

“Where’s Pope?” Rick asked as he leaned closer to the men on the other side of the round table, “Figured he’d be here by now.”

“He fuckin’ better show up,” Frankie grumbled, “He’s the one who made us come to this thing.”

After a few minutes their table was dismissed for food. Typical buffet fair with chicken and prime rib cut on a hot slab. Rick got two of each meat and Delphia could only shake her head. They ate the food back at their table over tales from the 165th’s glory days. Delphia listened closely and laughed when it was appropriate, and really, she couldn’t help but watch Rick the entire time. The way his eyes lit up was electric. And she wondered, as she listened to him recount the details of the time they squished him between two mattresses and took turns jumping on him from the top bunk, if he missed this. The companionship and trust that came with being a unit like this. She knew he liked leading the Task Force, even enjoyed the company of some of his teammates, but she also understood that it was nothing like this. These men would die for one another, and Rick hadn’t known anything like that for a long time.

As the night wore on and people began to get up from their tables to do some more mingling, Delphia remembered the open bar out in the lobby.

“I’ll be right back,” she told Rick before excusing herself from the table.

It was less loud in the lobby. Only a few people stood at the bar, sipping on drinks and talking quietly amongst themselves. Delphia stepped up and waved down the bartender.

“What can I get ya?” he asked.

“Moscow Mule, please.” She smiled kindly at the young man.

“One Moscow Mule comin’ up.”

She watched her drink get made for a moment. That was, until she felt someone slide in next to her at the bar. For a split second she thought it was Rick, about to good naturedly chastise her for not asking if he wanted anything. But the figure standing beside her was too short and not broad enough to be her boyfriend. Delphia looked over at the uniformed man beside her. Dark hair, handsome she could admit, wearing a captain’s uniform — neatly pressed with his tie only a little crooked.

“No uniform,” he said as he surveyed the backbar, then he leaned one arm on the bar top as he turned to face her, “So who’re you here with?”

“Boyfriend,” Delphia replied.

“Mm, damn. That’s unfortunate.”

She snorted out a laugh. “Why’s that unfortunate?”

“Cause you’re probably way out of his league.”

Ah. She saw what was going on here. He was trying to flirt with her. And sure, if she were single his whole shtick would definitely work on her. He was good looking with kind eyes and a bit of stubble. But she wasn’t single and was extremely happy that way. With Rick. But wouldn’t it be fun to play along for a moment and have a funny story to laugh at with Rick later?

So she asked with raised brows, turning her body to face him, “Oh, am I?”

“Yeah.” He gestured at her. “I mean — look at you.”

“So whose league am I in then?” She looked around the room for effect.

“Well…” he slid closer to her, eyes hooded and a look on his face like he had already won the prize.

Her drink came first. Bartender pushing the copper mug towards her with an awkward expression on his face. Then she felt it. His presence was hot and heavy at her back. She didn’t even have to look to know it was him. He loomed behind her like some mythical guardian, warding away trespassers. His hand curled around her hip, fingers digging into her soft flesh hard. And she watched, an amused smirk visible over the lip of her drink, as the man before her shrank and shriveled in fear.

“Pope,” Rick grunted.

“Flag,” the man gulped.

“Oh, so you’re Pope!” Delphia leaned back into Rick’s chest, felt all those medals dig into the skin of her shoulder. “You better go say hi to your friends — they’re starting to worry you won’t show up.”

She had never seen a man scurry away before. But she was pretty sure that was what Pope was doing as he left the bar to enter the ballroom. Delphia chuckled as she turned to look up at Rick. But those giggles quickly died in her throat when she saw the look on his face. He was seething. Hazel eyes still narrowed in the direction Pope took off in, a vein popped out on his neck. She set down her drink and pressed her thumb into that vein, her fingers curling around to scratch the back of his neck.

He finally looked down at her then. A bit of that rage fading from his eyes.

“Hey, it’s okay,” she soothed him quietly, “He’s gone — and definitely knows that I’m with you.”

Rick only grunted in response.

The rest of the night went on as usual. A few more men gave speeches. Rick introduced Delphia to his old army chaplain, who told the ridiculous story about how skinny private Flag put a live snake in his bunk as a prank.

There was something in the air, though, something different and tense. Delphia could sense it. Sense it in the way Rick would barely even touch her. His smile never quite met his eyes. And it only became worse when they got back in the car to go to the hotel. Not a word was spoken between them — made even more intense by the fact that both of them were too stubborn to turn on the radio. She hadn’t memorized his ticks for when something was bothering him yet. But the way he gripped the steering wheel till his knuckles turned white and the tick in his jaw were good indicators. She wondered if she did something wrong but couldn’t think of a thing.

Only the thump of their feet as they walked down the hotel hallway filled the quiet. Delphia had the key card in her clutch. She pulled it out and opened the door, Rick following close behind.

But once the door was closed Rick was on her in an instant — slamming her back against the door with an audible thud.

“Rick!” she exclaimed in surprise.

Her mythical guardian was wrapped around her, hiding her from the world. One leg hitched between her own, head bent towards her exposed throat. Her chest still heaved from the shock of his sudden move. Her back stung from being pressed against the door so harshly.

“You’re mine,” he growled against her pulse point, speaking the words into her very bloodstream.

It made her breath hitch in her throat. But those words weren’t for her. They were for him. A reminder. A plea. Please don’t take her away from me. He listened to her gasp and whine as he sucked mark after mark into her skin. Felt her move against his thigh — her fingers tangled in his hair and pushing his beret to the floor. Since he joined the army, nothing was for him. It was for his country, his fellow man, his righteous sense of duty, the greater good. Every part of him was devoted to it. He was willing to die and bleed for it. But it never gave anything back. All it did was take and take and take. Nothing has ever been for Rick Flag except her. Except Delphia Holman who gave and gave and gave. She was all for him, wanted to be for him. Not just another thing he was willing to bleed and die for — but something he was willing to live for — love for.

So when he saw an old friend flirting with the only person who had ever been for him, it wasn’t anger or jealousy that course through his veins. It was fear. Fear that he would lose her. And, God, he doesn’t want to lose her.

“You’re mine,” he repeated as his fingers dove beneath the hem of her skirt.

Delphia pressed her thumb into that vein, wrapped her fingers around to scratch at his neck. Her blue eyes connected with his hazel ones, fierce and loving and wild.

“I’m yours, baby,” she told him, “I’m always yours.”

Dry Cleaning Quality Product: How to Make Sure You Get the Best Results

Like most people, you probably dry clean your clothes regularly. It's a great way to keep them looking their best and prolonging their life. But did you know that not all dry cleaning is created equal? The quality of the dry cleaning process can vary significantly from one business to the next. So how do you ensure you're getting the best results possible? Read on for our tips!

What is Dry Cleaning?

Dry cleaning is a process that cleans clothes without using water. Instead, dry cleaners use a solvent to remove dirt and stains from fabric. After the garment is dry cleaned, it undergoes a finishing process that leaves it looking pressed and new.

The History of Dry Cleaning

The first dry-cleaning machine was invented in 1855 by French dry-cleaner Jean Baptiste Jolly. However, dry cleaning did not become widely used until the early 20th century when dry cleaners began using petroleum-based solvents.

Today, most dry cleaners use a chemical called perchloroethylene, or "perc" for short. Perc is a colorless, flammable liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor. It is the most widely used dry-cleaning solvent because it does an excellent job of removing dirt and stains from clothes.

How to Choose a Dry Cleaner

Now that you know a little about dry cleaning, you might wonder how to choose a dry cleaner. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Reputation: Choose a dry cleaner that has a good reputation. Ask your friends and family for recommendations.

Services Offered: Make sure that the dry cleaner offers the services you need, such as laundry, alterations, or repairs.

Pricing: Compare prices between different dry cleaners. However, don't choose the cheapest option without considering the other factors on this list.

Hours of Operation: Choose a dry cleaner that is open at times convenient for you.

Location: Choose a dry cleaner close to your home or office.

By following these tips, you can be sure that you'll find a dry cleaner that meets your needs and offers high-quality service.

What to Expect When You Dry Clean Your Clothes

You might wonder what to expect if you've never dry-cleaned your clothes before. Here's a quick overview of the process:

First, you'll take your clothes to the dry cleaner and drop them off.

The dry cleaner will inspect your clothes and determine the best way to clean them.

Your clothes will be placed in a solvent machine to remove dirt and stains.

After they're dry cleaned, your clothes will undergo a finishing process, such as pressing or steaming.

Finally, you'll pick up your clothes and take them home.

Roll Up Garage Doors Repairs

Jammed garage doors are not something unheard of. It can be very irritating when your door gets busted and you have a vehicle, valued at thousands and millions of dollars, stuck inside! Normally, the garage doors require fixing up on a regular basis so it is quite informative and helpful to have the basic knowledge about how to go about the best way of repairing it.Repairing a garage door is not much of an art or technical science; in fact it is quite simple and easy. This might be the reason why nearly everyone tries to handle these issues on their own.

Let us first familiarize you with basic structure of a garage door. The overhead garage doors work on spring tension- even if they roll up altogether or in sections. The heavy and strong springs provide the energy to the door so that it may move on metallic tracks on the walls of the garage.

Now, we shall look for repairs required to the metal tracks. These tracks are held up on the walls with the support of brackets. Check closely to see whether they are in just the right tightness or not. The bolts need to be screwed in case they are loose. Now, go inside and close the garage door. Inspect the metallic tracks for any dents, crimps or flat spots. If you find any impaired area, try to hammer it with a rubber tack hammer i.e. a mallet. If you see that the damage is beyond repair, it is advised to replace the door as soon as possible.

Now check the alignment of the metal tracks by using a level. Are they properly aligned? Oh...so you don't know exactly how they should be if they are? Well, that's not a problem! The horizontal metallic tracks are supposed to slant a little downwards towards the back of the garage. In case the roll up doors, the vertical sections of the track are to be exactly perpendicular. The tracks- vertical as well as horizontal- should be at the same height level on the walls of the garage. So, now you come to find out that oh no! Your garage doesn't have accurately aligned tracks! Now what to do? Simply, try to loosen the screws or the bolts that are used to hold the mounting brackets on the walls, but do not really remove them. Now, try tapping the tracks into their exact place. Before, tightening the screws, use a level to check whether you have done proper alignment or not. If yes, congratulations, you are done... after you tighten the screws again!

Now just for long term relief from metal track problems, use a household cleaner and the clean the tracks with it. Try removing any slightest sign of dirt or toughened grease. After you are cleaning, wipe the tracks dry and make sure that it's properly done! Next use a lubricant the tracks.

Next, look for loose rollers, plates and hinges. If you are good at spotting them, you might be equally good at tightening and replacing them, as per requirement. Now coming to the spring section, it is advisable to seek help from a professional service as the tension of the spring is too high, which could cause you considerable damage! Therefore, try not messing around with it as it can be really harmful!

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SCUBA DIVING IN MIAMI

Miami is a beautiful city in Florida and is one the most famous tourist attractions in America. Many don’t know but Miami Beach is also a Barrier Island, surrounded by ultimate diving spots. This is one of the reasons what makes snorkeling and scuba diving in Miami, an essential part of the trip when visiting Florida. Also, the third largest Barrier Reef, along the southern stretches coupled with the abundant coral shelves and patch reefs, makes Miami’s waters a heaven for subaquatic exploration.

WHAT IS SCUBA DIVING AND HOW CAN I LEARN IT?

Scuba diving is simply the act of staying underwater for longer period of time. Our body, however, is not built to survive such an extreme setting. To cope with lack of oxygen and high pressure, especially modified scuba diving equipment is used to breath, see and move underwater.

Learning to scuba dive is easy. In Principle, anyone can learn the proper underwater breathing techniques in less than 20 minutes. However, making sure that you’re responsible and not a threat to the underwater world, other divers and most importantly yourself, takes some time and training. I know many people who didn’t know that scuba diving in Miami requires a license. You need to complete a basic scuba diving courses in order to be eligible.

After successfully completing the “Autonomous Diver” training, you are licensed to scuba dive anywhere in the world. There a few restrictions though. For instance, you cannot go deeper than 20 meters, dive only in daylight and use only compressed air as a source pf oxygen. There are a few specialty scuba diving courses as well which allow you to overcome these restrictions, broaden your skillset and explore the underwater world more often and in numerous ways.

WHY SCUBA DIVE IN MIAMI?

The main attractions here include, historic wreck sites and a natural reef system, extending into the Florida Keys. If you love marine life, you are in for a treat. Since most of the wrecks are in protected zones, there is more fish for you to see!

Other highlights include eels, turtles, stingrays, octopus, squids, crabs, cleaner shrimps, lobsters, grunts, parrot fish, snappers, trunk fish, box fish, trumpet fish, damsels, trigger fish. If you get lucky, you might also witness dolphins on the surface.

Declared as the best scuba dive spot in the year 2012, Grove Scuba is very affordable and provides top class experience to the divers. Also, if you are someone like me, I’m pretty sure the first thing you’re going to do is ask Google about scuba diving prices in Miami.

Lotsa Style line. Their broad range of plastic-free items not only helps reduce plastic use, but they also Reusable Beeswax Food Wrap, a brilliant alternative to cling wrap. Made from organic cotton and beeswax, the wrap is washable and works well for all kinds of foods.

We also loved their Reusable Silicone Food Bag, a sustainable version of the classic sandwich bag. These high-quality bags lock airtight, keeping food fresh and preventing leaks. It’s safe for microwaves and freezers, doesn’t hold odors, and (best of all) can be washed in the dishwasher.

But our favorite Lotsa Style products are their Wheat Straw Plates. They’re a green alternative to plastic plates, which we use for our family picnics at

Lunchbox’s 3-in-1 Splash Box

Lunchbox’s 3-in-1 Splash Box makes making lunch easy and eco-friendly. The 3-piece set is made from durable stainless steel, with leak-proof silicone lids. It’s both dishwasher- and oven-safe, which makes heating and cleaning up afterwards a breeze.

But the feature we like the most is how the 3 pieces (which hold a total of four cups of food) nest together. Once you’re done eating, the mini snack container fits inside the top container, with a silicone strap to hold it all together.

  RECYCLED PLASTIC

Jenga Ocean Game

Enjoy the fun side of zero-waste living and purchase this Jenga Ocean game from Bureo.

This new version of the longtime family-favorite game has been created using only recycled plastic, made from discarded fishing nets.

Each game contains over 25 square feet of recycled nets, which are all sourced through Bureo’s recycling program, Net Positiva. This translates to over 2 pounds of plastic fishing nets in each Jenga game sold.

The individual Jenga Ocean blocks all have cute ocean-inspired artwork, hand-drawn by artist Lake Buckley. From family game nights to barbeques with friends, there is never a bad time to bring out Jenga, especially when it helps contribute to a plastic free environment!

  WITH PLASTIC FREE PACKAGING

Unwrapped Life Shampoo & Conditioner bar

When you think about it, it’s incredible how much plastic there is in packaging the everyday items we all need. Plastic wrap, plastic bags, and plastic bottles have become so ubiquitous, it’s easy to forget how utterly unnecessary they are.

As their name implies, Unwrapped Life is a company dedicated to eliminating this unnecessary waste, offering hair care, toiletries, and household products free from plastic packaging.

The zero waste brand offers 7 different dry Shampoo & Conditioner Travel Sets, with names like the Balancer, the Detoxifier, and The Hydrator. Each bar is vegan (made with 100% essential oil), color-safe, and packaged in reusable tins in a compostable paper box.

The only downside of Unwrapped Life’s eco friendly products is that they’re a bit on the expensive side. The travel sets run $40 Canadian, which is about $30 US. 

However they should last around 50 to 75 washes, depending on hair length, which is the equivalent of two to three 16-ounce bottles of liquid shampoo and conditioner.
