As a vegan cheese is definitely one of the indulgences that I have often missed.

Zero Waste Vibes: Silicone Stretch Lids
I am so loving these silicone stretch lids. With these you'll never stress over lids getting disfigured again. You'll never again stress over the ineffectiveness of saran wraps and aluminum foil. Best of all no more spoiled food and no more single use plastic saran wraps and baggies.

Walnut Shell Cat Litter – Zero Waste Cat
