Darphynia's Diary

I am currently writing an opinion piece on the Zero Waste Movement and minimalism.  Until then, I thought I would post up some of the things I have purchased that help control the chaos in my tiny space.  While I have some issues with zero (I prefer minimal) waste, there are some things to be said for it.  Here are some products you may be interested in: 1.   Facekins Image courtesy of Connie @ Facekins.

Sometimes you just need a token gift or something small to fill the stocking.  Listed below are a few things for everyone in varying price ranges.  For those who are on a tighter budget, I highly recommend a trip to Daiso, if you have one near you, or the Dollar Store, because you never know what you'll find. 1.  On-the-Go Gamepad , $8.99  Image courtesy of worldmarket.com  Do you know anyone who is going away on holiday?  This gamepad comes with 5 games to choose from, so  your traveling recipients will never be bored.  Great for long flights and rest-stops during road trips, the gamepad takes up hardly any space, and will keep everyone entertained. 2.  Clear Glass Fox Salt & Pepper Shakers , $12.99/set Image courtesy of worldmarket.com A fun, cute, and sophisticated stocking stuffer/housewarming gift is this fox salt/pepper shaker set.  They don't come filled (yes, I realize that should be a given, but you never kno...
