It is so easy to get lost in the chaos of Amazon Prime Day and forget about what we truly need in our homes, such as kitchen appliances and pantry organizers. Yes, it is these 'boring' items that I am searching for today, and I was delighted to see that the same goes for celebrity personality and momager Kris Jenner.
Coincidentally, the media mogul also recommended the S'well Prep Food Bowls that I had been keeping an eye on the past week, and when I saw them on offer, I just couldn't resist. Here's why I can't wait to get my hands on them, and why they have been a best-selling item, time and time again...
It's not often you'll see me write about non-pretty homeware or essentials. I am ashamed to say I prioritize beauty over practicality when it comes to furnishing my home. However, as someone who is constantly on the move, and loves spending time in the kitchen, I use endless amounts of Tupperware, containers, and food storage items, so these were a must-have from the moment I saw them.
From a practical point of view, organizing a pantry is crucial for avoiding food waste and pushing towards sustainability, too.
I am a strong believer in favoring glass over plastic when it comes to food storage. Glass is less likely to cause pollution than plastic items. Unlike plastics, which break down into microplastics that can leach into our soils and water, glass is non-toxic.
So, while the debate rages on, what do we do? Although it’s pretty much impossible to eliminate our contact with plastic entirely, there are lots of easy-to-follow precautions we can take to limit our exposure, particularly through how we store our food. If you haven't yet made the switch, start now...
Was $34.99, now $19.99 on Amazon
Thankfully, you won’t have to compromise beauty and functionality to live more sustainably. These glass food bowls have been built to last. Plus, every S’well purchased counts towards displacing millions of single-use plastic bottles. Win-win!
Microwaveable and top-rack dishwasher-safe too, you'll only wish, like me, you bought the S'well Prep Food Bowls sooner.
