Wowables Unpaper Towel Review

Alternative to bamboo paper towels

I am on the constant look out for ways to cut down on single use paper goods around the house. This time I am testing out the Wowable unpaper towels from Lola. In my search for the best reusable unpaper towels I came across Wowables.

So, I decided it was time to find a new go to reusable paper towel.

Best Eco-Friendly Wooden Bottle Brush

A bottle brush is a kitchen tool that is usually a ways down most peoples wishlist. However, I have found that my wooden bottle brush has eased the pain (not actually painfully, doing the dishes just makes me dramatic) of doing the dishes especially when it comes to handwash only items.
