A guide full of rituals, recipes, and projects for living simply and sustainably at home. For every area of your household—kitchen, cleaning, wellness, bath, and garden— Simply Living Well shows you how to eliminate wasteful packaging, harmful ingredients, and disposable items.

Projects include scrap apple cider vinegar, wool dryer balls, kitchen bowl covers and cloth produce bags, all-purpose citrus cleaner, herbal balms, and more, plus recipes for package-free essentials like homemade nut milk, veggie stock, salad dressings, and hummus.
