HUGE closet declutter, spice drawer glow up, amazon find, tyler's shopping trip lol

[@BubblyViolin11]

Jess, my cousin trained at Cordon Bleu in Paris and she told me that spices pretty much never go bad. So long as there isn’t any mold and they’re properly stored, they’re safe to use and consume. The only thing to keep in mind is that once the expiration date passes, the potency of the spice goes down significantly so you’ll just have to use more of it. As someone who is currently using spices from the 90s and is completely fine, you’re good. Lol. It’s still good to add the expiration date though!

[@mrsc.jeans28]

Good to know! I was just thinking how many of my spices are probably expired but I don’t have them in the original containers anymore…

[@kathleentheg]

Came to say the same thing! Doesn't go bad

[@Qster1584]

The Joy Luck Club is a fantastic book. It was made into a movie maybe 25+ years ago. About mother daughter relationships. Definitely a tear jerker.

[@theawesomefossums]

If it’s too tedious to get out label maker for expiration dates you can just use sharpie on glass and use acetone to erase when refilling/updating.

[@chaosbecomesher]

That was my thought! Acetone and rubbing alcohol can easily remove sharpie :) it just wouldn't look as nice as her labels lol

[@alisalaska1786]

Hairspray will remove it as well

That egg convo was so funny to me. I’m a country girl that grew up raising chickens. They lay eggs regardless, if the rooster has fertilized them or not. But you’re kinda right in that a chick won’t form unless it’s fertilized and it’s been consistently kept warm enough for several days by being sat on by the hen. 😂

[@melissamoeller9608]

Ok, I know this is a bit gross. But, does this mean that the eggs 🥚 we eat are basically… the chickens period?? 😝

[@KalenaO]

@@melissamoeller9608 Haha, gross and I get what you mean! I guess in a way, but to make me feel better I’d say no though . Chickens lay the eggs every single day. Thank goodness we don’t have periods every day. 😂

[@jessicagregory9697]

I loved this part of the vlog too!! It kind of reminded me of the Chicken of the Sea bit from Newlyweds with Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey... but more endearing and even funnier!!

[@Sk8rToon]

I love my aerogarden! I got it when the pandemic started & it’s still going strong. It has its own grow light & the herbs (or whatever you want to grow) only need water & the liquid fertilizer. Nice & contained year round freshness! They have all sizes. I got the small one (in an older design so it was on sale) for $50 & they grow in size to the point you can have your own veggie garden indoors

[@deeclingman9386]

Grain is not part of my diet (wheat - not gluten - is a HUGE inflammation trigger) so I found the Siete brand about a year ago. Did you know that Costco has the Wedding cookies, the Sea Salt Chips and the Churro chips. You have to try the churro chips, they're wonderful! Also, the bags at Costco are much bigger so the price/ounce is a lot better. Oh, Costco also carries the Siete brand [almond flour] tortillas. Siete brand for the win!

[@meagenb4968]

Yes, being in tbe right mood for cleaning/re-organizing is essential. I just did this, moving over from fall/winter to spring/ summer. YAY for you. Your donate pile will make some young women very happy. I am going to have to give Thrive Market a try. Your snack/essentials hauls always make me peckish...lol.

[@nicolemiller3530]

Have you ever made pho with your star anise?

[@jocelyngelms4117]

we have 10 hens and get eggs daily. sometimes they try and sit on the eggs but they will never hatch because we don't have a rooster. likely the eggs you buy in the store are fertilized by a rooster but are collected before they can be incubated for enough time for the chicks to develop and then hatch.

[@kendallyoung2541]

this past year I think the house i live in got to that age where all of the appliances started breaking down because they were all installed at/around the same time, so we've had to replace our dishwasher and have someone come out to work on our washer becuase it was leaking, so i definitely feel you on "when it rains, it pours" lol my favorite thing from thrive market is the balsamic mung beans if you haven't tried them they're SO good on salads/avocado toast/just as a snack

I only lost it during the extreme humidity of Florida summer... it grew mold 🥺 wouldn't be a problem where you are though. And actually, now that I have a dehumidifier, I bet it'd last year round.

A tip for allergies (if you are allergic to pollen), find a local, native honey that is bottled in your area. Grocery stores usually carry them. Take a tablespoon a day for a few weeks. If you do that every year it could be a natural cure for your allergies! It works wonders for my boyfriend. He only takes it for two weeks and he is good for the rest of the year. Learned this from my mom who was a natural cure enthusiast.
