Going Green.

As I was sitting on the toilet today just looking about, I realized that my bathroom looks much different than it used to years ago. Goat's milk soap in the soap dish, peppermint castile soap in the dispenser, Yes to Carrots conditioner, Nature's Gate pomegranate and sunflower body wash, and an empty bottle of Giovanni tea tree triple treat shampoo. I have just recently bought 98% pure aloe vera gel to use as a moisturizer, raw honey as a cleanser, and tea tree oil as an acne treatment.

How did I get here? I can't even remember why I started changing everything out. I remember trying the shampoo because I was fed up with every dandruff shampoo (every dandruff shampoo) on the market and that was literally the only thing left. What the heck? It can't possibly hurt.

In fact, it helped a ton. NO dandruff after a few days of this stuff. It had to be a miracle. The castile soap was to be used as an alternative to stinky chemical products (and to free me from the constant fear of mixing lethal chemicals). And the rest just...happened.

I'm still not onto green deodorant (I've tried a few, but nothing has worked yet) or toothpaste, but I think it's only a matter of time. I have some green cleaning products now that I really like. Some day, I'll be able to make my own deodorant, shampoo, soap, and cleaning products! For now, I'm really liking my new skincare routine and I'm excited to try my new shampoo bar (to save on plastic!).

I LOVE finding new products that work! It can be hard (again, still haven't found a good deodorant), but extremely rewarding to know that the earth can take care of you and you can take care of the earth! And look good and feel productive at the same time!!! Who knows? You're probably saving money too!
