Beautiful Things Deserve A Second Life

Beautiful Things Deserve A Second Life

One thing we’ve always believed at Love + Be Well is that beautiful things deserve a second life.

There is something comforting about repurposing a favorite jar instead of tossing it immediately into the trash.
A small ritual.
A slower way of living.
A reminder that everyday objects can still hold beauty and usefulness long after the product is gone.

And honestly?
Glass jars and bottles are simply too pretty not to reuse.

Here are a few of our favorite ways to give them new life around the home.

Reusing Glass Bottles

Our bottles tend to become little staples all over the house once emptied.

Mini Bud Vases

A few small flowers or herb trimmings instantly turn empty bottles into beautiful little moments throughout the home.

Windowsills.
Bathrooms.
Kitchen counters.
Bedside tables.

Simple always feels elegant.

DIY Linen Spray

One of our favorite easy rituals.

Mix:

  • water
  • 2 tablespoons witch hazel
  • 6–10 drops of your favorite essential oil

Shake gently and mist onto linens, bedding, curtains, or towels for a fresh calming scent throughout the home.

We especially love lavender, eucalyptus, or citrus blends.

Plant Mister

Empty toner bottles make the prettiest plant misters.

Perfect for herbs, houseplants, or little green corners around the home that need a gentle refresh.

Beach Wave Hair Spray

A simple DIY for soft textured summer hair.

Mix:

  • 1.5 cups warm water
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • a few drops of essential oil

Shake well before each use.

Travel Bottles

One of the easiest ways to reuse skincare bottles.

Perfect for:

  • shampoo
  • body oil
  • toner
  • supplements
  • homemade blends
  • skincare decants for travel

Minimal, practical, and beautiful.

Reusing Small Jars

Small jars somehow become useful for everything.

Bring-Your-Own Salad Dressing

Perfect for tossing into your bag before heading to a restaurant or picnic.

Small details like this make healthy habits feel much easier to maintain.

Vitamins + Essentials

We love keeping small jars tucked into handbags, travel bags, or kitchen drawers for:

  • vitamins
  • supplements
  • mints
  • medicine
  • little everyday necessities

DIY Toothpaste

A simple homemade blend:

  • equal parts coconut oil + baking soda
  • peppermint essential oil

Stored beautifully inside a clean glass jar.

Bathroom Organization

Cotton swabs.
Makeup brushes.
Hair ties.
Jewelry.
Bobby pins.

A few matching jars instantly make a bathroom feel calmer and more intentional.

And If You Don’t Reuse Them…

Recycle them.

A quick rinse.
Remove the labels.
Discard pumps separately when needed.

Small habits matter.

At Love + Be Well, we are not interested in perfection when it comes to sustainability.
Just more thoughtful living.
Less waste.
More intention.

Because creating a beautiful home and caring for the environment can coexist quietly in everyday life.

Love + Be Well,
Natalie
