We asked Theresa Williams to share some of her favorite things from our website and beyond. As a Celsious co-founder, her passion for laundry is a given ๐Ÿ˜‰ but she also loves crafting, perusing vintage furniture, and supporting unique small businesses.

If you're a fan of natural ingredients, upcycled materials, and all things pre-loved, read on for her recs!

Hand Spun Recycled Yarn ๐Ÿ”น Clarion Call Fiber Arts

"This woman is incredible. She hand spins yarn out of reclaimed sweaters. The quality is amazing, better than many virgin yarns I've used. I knitted this pair of socks with her yarn."

Supersalt Oxygen Booster ๐Ÿ”น Celsious

"I love Supersalt for so many reasons, one being it's great at odor control. I reach for it (and white vinegar) to freshen up vintage clothing. I also use Supersalt to clean non-aluminum cookware! You can find my tutorial on IG Reels."

Basil Lip Balm ๐Ÿ”น Amberlight Beauty

"I have a very pared back beauty routine and make most of my products from scratch, but one thing I always buy is this hydrating basil lip balm."

Pilling Remover ๐Ÿ”น Sweater Stone

"I wear a lot of knits and having a sweater stone at home makes it easy to keep them looking great. We also use sweater stones at Celsious, for our laundry services."

Vintage Home Goods ๐Ÿ”น Portmanteau NYC

"I follow Portmanteau NYC on Instagram religiously! They have a really cool selection of vintage home goods and clothes. I can't wait to add one of their pieces to my home."


๐Ÿ‘‰๐ŸพTheresa's hot take

"Thrift stores, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and donation centers are great resources for pre-loved items and have led me to amazingly cool pieces of furniture and building materials. If more people found joy in reimagining and reusing pre-existing items, we could reduce the amount of waste in the world."
