Usually this is less expensive than buying the same amount of the exact same product pre-packaged, and sometimes it even costs less than buying non-organic supermarket brand in a package! And I love being able to choose what kind of jar or other container is best for my stuff.<br /><br />We save a lot of money by <a href="http://blog.earthlingshandbook.org/2010/10/27/running-things-into-the-ground.aspx" rel="nofollow">waiting to replace things until they REALLY need it</a> instead of having everything new and shiny.'Beccahttp://blog.earthlingshandbook.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-33263258865237121972010-10-31T19:49:38.939-07:002010-10-31T19:49:38.939-07:00Hi Betsy,
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'v...Hi Betsy, <br />Thanks for stopping by my blog. I've really enjoyed reading your blog. It fits my view on going green. It is easy to get overwhelmed if you try to do everything at once. My favorite green things to do are to buy reusables and buy used. I'd love to make all my own personal products, but I haven't got the time. So I've settled for simplifying what I do use and buying the rest natural or organic. I love the Skin Deep Cosmetics Database for information on toxicity on everything from lotion to bodywash.Roni Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07201673314124467043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264294700715447531.post-38130541239372323682010-10-29T06:58:52.175-07:002010-10-29T06:58:52.175-07:00Betsy,
Thanks for stopping by!
I love the "Lo...Betsy,<br />Thanks for stopping by!<br />I love the "Lower your cleanliness standards"!!!<br />When I was more of a SAHM, I often skipped showers a couple days a week. I work outside the home now and need to feel refreshed by a shower before work, but my days off are often shower free! <br />Another thing I have been thinking about lately is the way those in less developed countries bathe. My family in Africa bathes more often than we do, but they bathe in such a way that they use very little water. They simply DON'T LET the WATER RUN!<br />Looking forward to the next post!Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521344998979381702noreply@blogger.com
