A story of my tupperware

“I’m so sorry.”

I was just getting into my car leaving work and I checked my phone to see that text message from Bestie.

“Uh oh,” I thought to myself, “what bad news could it be?” I thought it might have to do with work — perhaps something he couldn’t change that we had hoped for.

Instead I opened up my phone to see he had sent a picture of my tupperware.

“Ok, maybe he broke it while washing the dishes?” I pondered.

I looked a little closer to find that it seemed fine, and then it hit me: he had eaten all the cookies inside it! LOL I almost died laughing. You see, earlier that day I had brought a batch of cookies to work. I was practicing baking them for a housewarming this weekend. As soon as Bestie confirmed they were vegan, he went to town on them and consumed 5 during a short 2-3 minute conversation. I shouldn’t be surprised, but it still amazes me how quickly he can make food disappear.

Later in the morning, we had a staff meeting where he gently ate one or two more. He went home before me and returned to find the remaining cookies on the counter. Next thing you know, they were gone too and he was texting me to apologize as he collapsed into a food coma.

His version of what happened when he got home is even funnier! First, he had already overeaten when he got back so he really should have resisted. But when he noticed there were more cookies, he went to just snack on one. And then a second one. By then, he was kind of ashamed but was still stuffing his face as he wiped the crumbs from the counter and sent me the picture. I can imagine him looking around to make sure nobody was around as he hid the evidence of his snacking. He then used his shirt as a makeshift basket to shovel the remaining cookies into and stumbled into bed still scarfing them down. So there he lay, eating the rest of the cookies in bed before passing out. Lol, it makes me chuckle every time I think about it.

All in all he consumed over a dozen cookies that day. I bet his belly paid for it!

How to: not waste soap

Don’t you hate when you get those little pieces of a soap bar that you can’t quite use but don’t want to waste? Well, hopefully you do or else you’re probably losing out on a lot of soap uses! So here I’ve compiled some ways that you can make the most of those broken pieces:

1. Put in cloth or bag

Fold it into a small facial cloth or cloth baggie, get the cloth/bag wet and then rub! Suds are able to make their way through the porous material and you might even get a better lather than usual. This way you also get some exfoliation out of it and the pieces don’t go down the drain.

2. Insert into loofah

Similar to the cloth, loofahs are great for exfoliation and improving lather, so if you’re into suds, stick those pieces in the center of your loofah and scrub away! It’s ideal if you can actually stuff them into a compartment where they won’t fall out, otherwise you might still struggle with small pieces falling through.

3. Stick to a cap

One of the greatest challenges I find with small pieces of soap is how thin and flimsy it is. I feel like I have nothing to grip on to, so by sticking it onto the cap of something, it gives you something to hold easily. Then just treat it like a tube of lip balm and rub around on your skin. It’s pretty similar to when you used the brand new bar, but of course with less material.

4. Adhere to wall

Ok, this one is probably the strangest suggestion I have, but hey it’s fun and hilarious. If you don’t have a cap to stick your soap to, just press it onto your shower tile. Then rub your hands or fingers on it when you need to use some! You’ll also help clean part of the wall that way… 😉

5. Shake in container

Finally (and probably least effective), you can throw those pieces into a plastic container, add a bit of water, and shake like crazy! You’ll get a watered down soapy mixture you can spray onto yourself if you have a nozzle or pour out to use like a super watery body wash. Alternatively, you can aim to just use the suds that you create as a foam cleanser.

So there you go! Never waste so much soap again with these 5 tips. 😛 It looks like I inadvertently ordered these in approximate from the most effective to the least effective method. Do you have anything to add?
