I have finally found great shampoo and conditioner bars for my hair. I have not realized before how much plastic we are using for our personal care...Also limiting hair washes to once a week helps your bars last much longer. 

Bought 2 sets if all natural bristle brushes 1 for me and 1 for my sister for Christmas!! Just arrived today. I'll be using it tonight.

Check out your local Asian markets! A lot of the produce is in bulk and have different varieties. These Shiitake mushrooms and snow peas went into a brown bag! No plastic waste. :D 

I purchased all the ingredients to make my own deodorant.  Recipe:3 Tbsp coconut oil3 Tbsp shea butter1/4 cup arrowroot or organic corn starch1/4 cup baking sodaa few drops of essential oils (optional)Put butter and oil in quart jar and place in pan of water until melted. REmove from heat and add baking soda and arrowroot/corn starch and a few...

By far, the two main things I throw away are grocery packaging and kleenex. I haven't tackled the food packaging yet, but am trying an experiment by ordering some old-fashioned cotton handkerchiefs. So far they work just as well as kleenex and don't seem to be any less sanitary since I just toss them in the laundry when I'm done. 

Went to the store to pick some material and when the lady asked if I wanted in a bag I said no thanks I can carry it out to the car and put it in my recycle bag :) It seems like more and more people are becoming aware.
