As I get older, I m trying to make a conscious effort to produce a little less waste. I cut back on my paper towel usage by swapping them for microfiber towels, and now I ve switched from plastic single-use sandwich and gallon bags to reusable silicone bags.
One of the most popular brands for reusable bags is Stasher. I ve wanted Stasher bags for years, which shows I m getting old my wish list is no longer purses and shoes, but vacuums and kitchen essentials. However, Stasher bags are not exactly cheap. I first got a set of more budget-friendly reusable bags but was then sent Stasher bags a few weeks after I d purchased my own.
These Stasher bags are the best reusable bags I ve ever owned

Exercise classes (like kickboxing)
The benefits of walking (not running) are very widely touted. In a 30 minute walk, you can burn between 150 to 300 calories, depending on your weight and fitness levels. The American Heart Association lays out the benefits quite well:
Lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, dementia and Alzheimer’s, several types of cancer, and some complications associated with pregnancy
Better sleep, including improvements in insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea
Improved cognition including memory, attention, and processing speed
Less weight gain, obesity, and related chronic health conditions
Better bone health and balance, with less risk of injury from falls

WITHMOONS Cloth Face Mask, $15.40 for a pack of 3Ana Suarez for Hearst Newspapers
Fog never used to be that big of an issue, because how often is it foggy? Most of us don t live in a Dickens novel. But face masks have made fog an annoyingly common concern for glasses wearers.
A few weeks ago, I did a roundup of masks for glasses wearers to help my fellow four-eyed friends on the Internet. Upon researching masks that wouldn t fog up my glasses, the Withmoons face mask was the first thing to pop up in a search for glasses for mask wearers on Amazon. It also has more than 12,000 ratings, which is a lot for a product that wasn t necessary a year ago.
