sure the video is back to you next week in time for the holidays. The holidays bring so much joy,

but also so much excess.

1:11.5

I've been trying to find small practical ways to celebrate the season without all the waste.

1:15.5

And one of the best solutions I've found is Mill.

1:17.8

Mill is the odorless, effortless, fully automated food recycler,

and it's been my one easy thing that makes reducing food waste a breeze during this busy time of year.

1:26.3

Mill makes it so easy to keep food out of the landfill. Just dropping your food scraps from turkey bones to pie crust and veggie pills, and that's it. Mill quietly transforms them into nutrient wrench grounds overnight. Plus, I can keep filling it for weeks. I'm so glad I have my Mill Food Recycler in time for the holidays because it's seriously made hosting so much easier. When our kitchen is full of people cooking, chatting, making a mess, I never have to think twice about the trash. I just toss the scraps, close the lid and it's handled. No overflowing bins, no smells, no stress. It's such a small thing, but it makes hosting feel calmer and more aligned with the kind of home I want to run, one that's thoughtful, responsible, and a little more sustainable. Add Mill to your wishlift or gift one now. Get up to $200 off during their biggest sale of the season Thursday, November 20th through Monday, December 1st. Miss the sale, you can still get $75 off with code Pantsuit. Visit mill.com slash pantsuit. That's mill.com slash P-A-N-T-S-U-I-T.
