Hot take: Washing my mixing bowls instead of using disposable ones was a game changer

I kept seeing all the plastic waste from single-use containers after mixing masks and serums. So, I bought a set of stainless steel bowls that I can sanitize between clients. It took a week to get used to the extra cleanup, but now my trash bin is way lighter. My clients notice the effort and often ask about my green steps. Give it a shot if you want to cut down on waste without big costs.

Wait, between clients? You're using these for your job?

Honestly, that's a solid move. I read an article about how that kind of small switch in a business adds up fast, kind of like how @thead44's grandma reused things. Makes the whole process feel less wasteful.

Oh yeah, that reminds me of my grandma washing out old coffee cans to store nails in the garage.
