~ nearly ~ everybody’s favorite shower steamer is back in stock.
A couple weeks ago we had a weird crash / glitch on on the Refill website so it was saying things that were not in stock were, but I promise these are actually back in stock.
Lately, if you have ordered something and its not been around, apologies again. Its hard to comb through everything while also in motion.
By sweet sale I mean official launch of the Flash Fills category, cool things that do not see enough love, and me cleaning back stock out so I can buy new shelves!
The newsletter reboot will also have a new section with what I am reading or listening to currently. Go sign up because it’s going to be the place that gets all the news first and the socials will be a place to showcase what products Refill carries!
Trying something different so I can let go of this eternal to do list called ~ content ~ 😩

Something I personally am excited to support again this year! More info about @wolfwillowartfarm herbal CSA on their links.

Wondering what you can expect in this year`s CSA?
Slide one is the plants i`m bringing back from last year, and slide two is potential new additions. These plants will be offered as teas, tinctures, or both.
There are also some other hypotheticals and back-ups, such as goldenrod and mugwort.
Like with any farm, a medicinal farm runs in co-operation with nature, and sometimes nature gets the final say in what gets harvested and what doesn`t. 😬😂
To accommodate that, i plant a wider variety of herbs than i technically need.
For more info about the CSA, don`t forget to check out the infosheet in my linktree. <3

It’s Earth Day.
Refill and I are feeling a bit discouraged these days and we in no way want to process these feels on the internet.
So I pulled a couple cards from my @sister.is 100 Ways deck and this is what I got…so apropos.
Wishing for strong, interconnecting communities, that can support each other as we get up to loads of collective action.
With love,
Marisa

CLOSED - Not accepting more jars at this time.
Refill doing it’s own version of ~hot girl shit~ this month.
Kicking off it’s newest endeavor to innovate (in an old way) right out of extractive capitalism. Join us in keeping glass out of road fill and landfills.
Refill has been itching to get a new delivery jar for years and these are what it settled on.
The salsa, pickle, sauce, honey, jar.
Up until Earth Day, every 500ml and/or 1L jar that you bring in that fits the lid enters you to win free laundry detergent for a year, or 25¢ for each jar, or 25¢ for each jar goes to helping us refill @westend24hour empty shampoo & conditioner jugs.
The minutia: jars just need to be rinsed, labels can be on, and they can smell like pickles.
Laundry for the year is up to a $200 value. To be entered to win jars must be in our hands by April 22, 2023. Winner will be drawn and notified the following day.
Not an April Fool’s joke, just reality for Refill.
Happy Earth Month folks! 🤣

FOR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION
References + additional info in the links for those that want more than the boiled down info in these slides. Its tedious but I encourage you to read it yourself. Bottom Line. This is too risky at full scale when the bet is thousands of folks drinking water.
You have until Friday at noon to voice your concerns. It doesn’t have to sound pretty, just say something in your own words.

P.S. Its World Water Day. I totally forgot because I have been reading all the finding on this project the last week. If days like today are an excuse to celebrate, they are definitely a day to write an email saying, “Keep your filthy paws off our groundwater.”
P.P.S. Also, many thanks to @justine.Hudson for info sharing + emailing the CEC as it led me towards much more info than I previously had found.
By the time I got this posted Refill has the window signage back up and giant light up one should show up soon! ✨

Cody and I bought a house, which meant cleaning our lovely apartment of 5.5 years.
Let me say, I don’t love to clean. I have one regular, you know who you are, that says they use this for EVERYTHING.
I tested that and it’s true. From the gross mouse pee/poop ~vomit~ to the windows, this pink goo showed up.
I put it in a bucket, used a dab straight, and oddly put some in a spray bottle with water.
I have been mia on the socials and email the past week plus, it’s been wild on the personal side.
For house renovations, Cody and I want to take you on that adventure but we have yet to decide if it’s something we will actually be able to do. The house was built in 1895 so it’s old.
Love,
Marisa

SEED BOMBS!!!
I totally made a mistake naming the pale orange one, it’s a TALL GRASS, prairie seed bomb.
Blog post with more info in the links, enjoy!
REPOST + CHECK SLIDE 4👀
We all know nature could use our help - here`s an easy way for anyone to take action: seed bombs!
A small ball made of soil/compost, clay, and seeds of native plants, seed bombs are an easy form of guerilla eco-activism!
Cheap to make and discrete enough to carry around in your pocket, simply toss one in that sad abandoned lot in your neighborhood or wherever you are the next time you think "wow, that bit of dirt’s depressing."
And now’s the perfect time to get started, with native seeds best spread in fall or early spring!
Check out the so-easy-it’s-barely-a-recipe recipe in the slides and plan to make some with a friend or even a kiddo in the coming weeks.
Don’t wanna diy, it’s cool, we now have carry a bunch of seed bombs from @charlottesbirdseed !!!!!!!

I would highly suggest you not watch me Refill.
It’s painful. 😅
