Unpaper towels by  - available in stacks of five or rolls of ten or as singles in one-ply or two-ply fabric.

This is a staple product for us. Cotton flannel unpaper towels clean up all of life’s messes with a clean conscience! Reusable until the point where they fall apart, which won’t be for a long time, they wipe up, spills, wash, dishes, countertops, tubs, and more, all without creating any trash. Use one of the wipes, and then toss it in the washing machine, not the garbage.

If you’re of the shop-early ilk, these are perfect stocking stuffers or additions to a well-considered zero waste gift.

Made by , aka Tam’s mama, we use them at the stores and in our homes. 

Clean, cleanly!

The first, fresh dusting of powder on the North Shore mountains is our cue: winter is just around the corner!
Were you shivering through a power outage last night?! We have just the suggestion to warm yourself: a healthy and fragrant salt warm bath.

The benefits of salt baths:
+ helps to hydrate dry skin
+ helps to absorb important minerals
+ helps to improve your moods

Sea salt and Epsom salt are beneficial for our health!

Sea salt baths stimulate circulation, ease muscle cramps, help relieve stiffness in joints, aid with arthritis and back pain, as well as recovery from hard exertion, workouts and muscle fatigue.

Dead Sea salt baths - calm skin allergies, eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.

Epsom salt baths - reduce swelling, relieve aches, soothe skin, reduce irritation and itching.

Our bath salt mixes include a combination of Dead Sea, pink Himalayan, Epsom and Sea salts, with curated essential oil scent mixes to create a mood through aromatherapy.
You can also BYOJ: bring your own jar to refill with unscented salts to take home.

Heat up from the inside out while soaking in a warm, salty bath, tonight!

“Let’s talk about the incredible benefits of choosing glass over plastic! 🌎

Did you know that returnable glass containers are designed to be reused an average of 40 times during their lifetime? That’s 40 opportunities to make a sustainable choice.

Their eco-design allows for a seamless cycle: packaging, use, washing, disinfecting, and re-packaging, all without altering the properties of the container or its contents.

In simple terms, using returnable glass containers significantly contributes to environmental conservation. By avoiding the consumption of single-use plastics, you’re helping to reduce pollution by up to 97%.

Every time you choose glass, you’re making a positive impact on the planet. 🌿

You can find a wide variety of jars in the store, come to visit us and let’s keep making eco-conscious choices together! 💚 ”

Ok, so we know it’s Thursday and woman crush posts are strictly for Wednesdays BUT… did you know is a Canadian born eco-friendly, all natural, non-toxic (amazing smelling and insanely effective) cleaning product line started by two powerhouse women - Monika and Robyn - over in Ucluelet, BC.!?

Taken from their About Us page, the girls describe how Mint became the company it is today:

“After suffering the harmful effects of harsh cleaning chemicals, we wanted to switch over to safer, eco-friendly products. As professional cleaners we know what is required to get the job done right. We started to experiment with some of our own recipes and formulated a cleaning line that is both effective and safe to use in your home.”

Pretty awesome huh.

Even better, we carry their products right here in store so that you can have access to these bad-ass cleaners who practically do the work for you!

In stock now at the Jar Bar Refillery in Kitsilano. Just bring in your own clean and empty jar (or purchase one of the many we have on offer in store), fill ‘er up and enjoy your new (deliciously clean and minty) home!

Love,
JB KITS

MMMM… Fall. 🪵🍄🍁✨🕯️🌼

Rainy yellows and reds, warm and cozy browns and ambers.

…But hang on - it looks like we just got greener!! 💚💚💚

We can all agree, there is nothing better than staying home on a rainy afternoon (or morning for that matter!).

Matter of fact, if you need me, I’ll be snuggling up with my hot bev of choice (one extra hot chai latte please and thank you) and my favourite Sinatra playlist or maybe even a vintage Halloween movie. 🧶🫖📺

But eventually we all start to miss the greenery of the outside world. SO, why not bring the outdoors INSIDE with you this fall with one of our newly stocked plant friends looking for their forever home. 🪴

Starting at only $4, our plants are both affordable AND a greener choice for home decor. Each one is unique and adds the perfect homey-ness to your homey home.

Even better: we have beautiful, hand-picked vintage in store to choose from to make the perfect little cozy den for your new green buddy.

Now all that’s left to do is press play on the cozy autumn jazz playlist and get sipping on that warm spicy chai (…although, I have a feeling your new friend might prefer straight H2O!).

Love,
JB Kits

Kitsilano! We are so excited about this one!

Introducing our NEW 4 pouch denim tote.

Handmade with love for carrying and storing all your re-fill needs. With double webbed handles and thick, heavy (machine washable!) denim - this bag will be your best side kick yet.

Say goodbye to glass containers clunking up your backpack and going all sorts of upside down ways, our denim tote helps streamline the re-fill process and makes storage super cute in the process!

It could also be used on those Sunday house resets to grab and go, moving all your products easily around the house. Like we said, best side kick EVER.

We love you Mr. Tote.

Sincerely,
The Jar Bar Kitsilano
