Hmmm… better late than never 😅 I finally put the numbers together for 2025!

We did 7,094 refills 🙌

On top of that, we sold:
• 848 shampoo & conditioner bars
• 28,875 dishwasher tablets
• 59,531 toothpaste tablets
• 711 foaming hand soap tablets and more...

Honorable mention: skincare. Between @dewmighty and our skincare refills, we diverted 442 containers from the landfill.

Together we diverted AT LEAST 9,708 containers from the landfill. ♻️

And… we grew over 50% this year.

Thank you for continuing to show up — for yourselves, for your families, for reducing plastic, for our community, for composting, for trying something different. It’s honestly such an honor to be an intermediary of sustainability in this city.

And even though I said several times last year that I might look for something else… once the drama settles, I always realize the same thing: this is what I’m supposed to be doing. It brings me a lot of joy to still be here, still in business, and still growing. 💚

Thank you to our amazing partners @dipalready @rusticstrength @littleseedfarm @rootandsplendor @dewmighty @greenllama @huppy @nope.va

New Store Hours ✨

*Sunday & Monday: Closed
*Tuesday–Thursday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
*Saturday: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Please note: we will now be closed on Mondays going forward.

While customer experience will always be our top priority, I’ve reached a point where I’ve come to realize I need to build a business that fits my life - rather than living around the business. Only then can it truly come from the heart (and filled cup) and be set up for long-term, sustainable success.

All updates have been made on our door, Google, and website.

Thank you so much for your continued support. See you soon 💚 by @fillhappyva

We created this place to inspire you to live a little more intentionally.
To simplify your life.
To awaken just a little more.
And my heart is so full because I can see that it’s happening.
When my child looks at something and says, “That’s trash,” I know there is transformation. That awareness didn’t happen by accident.
I’ve always been a bit of a rebel — and I love that we give you the freedom to decide how much you want to get...reasons can vary:
• how much you want to store
• how quickly you’ll go through it
• how far you live from us
• what your budget allows etc
I used to hate buying a full-size makeup remover I’d never finish before it expired. Now? I can just get a couple of ounces. Exactly what I need. Nothing more.
That freedom matters.
What’s your favorite part about shopping with us? #fillhappyva #williamsburgvirginia #refillnotlandfill by @fillhappyva

Did you know that at least 50% of garbage set at curbside is compostable?

That’s a lot of materials that are going to landfills that could be saved from landfills IF SEPARATED & PROCESSED DIFFERENTLY.

Wasted food is responsible for 58% of landfill methane emissions.

You can make a big impact if you compost.

Catch us if you need help! We have so far this year diverted 19tons of food waste in Williamsburg VA that became a soil instead! Join us!! taken in Williamsburg, VA by @fillhappyva

Fresh-smelling, clean clothes. It’s true, and I won’t take it for granted. 💚

I honestly LOVE my laundry lineup.

No labels. No marketing BS. Just honest laundry detergent with 5 — yes, FIVE — ingredients. LAB TESTED. Nothing hidden. No fillers. No added water.

My laundry journey has been rocky, and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate finally figuring it out.

Between gym clothes, doggie accidents, and all of our outdoor adventures, I need something that actually works.

Here’s the laundry recipe I swear by:

✨ 1 tablespoon of @melioracleaningproducts oxygen brightener
(available in a steel canister, refill box, or in bulk)

✨ 3 pumps — yes, ONLY 3 pumps — of @rootandsplendor laundry concentrate

That’s it.

I add root & splendor stain remover when necessary and it’s magical. I use old toothbrush to brush it into the stains 🤷🏽‍♀️. I like to add scent booster to towels and sheets.

It’s kind of crazy how effective this combination is. We get beautiful, fluffy, truly clean clothes while keeping things plant-based, sustainable, and really affordable.

If you’re struggling with your laundry journey, come see me. I’VE BEEN THERE. You can even get a smaller amount to try first and stock up once you’re convinced it works for you, too.

I struggled with my laundry journey so you don’t have to. 💚 #fillhappyva #williamsburgvirginia taken in Williamsburg, Virginia by @fillhappyva
