I want to share what I do for dry shampoo. We were on a boil water notice here in Austin last week until yesterday so I was relying heavily on my dry shampoo with all the winter head gear. I get major oily hat hair with anything I put on my head which is why…

RETHINK: Jewelry
I wanted to share a few jewelry-themed ideas with you all. I was in an anklet mood this summer. Instead of buying a new anklet, I used a 18″ chain that I wrapped twice around my ankle and threaded both strands through a charm. It works great! This way I can reuse both pieces for…
Disposable Menstrual Products
*03.18.21 the word “feminine” was removed from this post and as much social media as I could without affecting post dates and comments, and replaced with “menstrual,” to allow for gender neutrality. This post goes with Reusable Menstrual Products. Please check out that post if you’re ready to make longer lasting changes. If plastic inside…
Product Review: Allbirds Shoes
I purchased these products myself and all views are my own. One of my best friends introduced me to Allbirds shoes. I’m so grateful she did. The big appeal of this company, who sells shoes, apparel and accessories, is the items are more sustainable. Products are responsibly made with natural materials like wool and eucalyptus…
DIY: Weights
If you need some lighter hand weights, you can make your own or use something you already have! It’s pretty hard to find certain weights and workout equipment right now. When you can find it, sometimes the price is inflated due to current demand. Cans of food, books, your kids toys, etc. can be used…

Review: Scunci No-Slip Grip Headband
I purchased this product myself and my review is my own experience. I don’t wear a lot of headbands. My head is a bit larger than normal, earpieces tend to dig into my head, and elastic headbands do not stay on my head even with bobby-pins. The whole cute bandanna as a hairband, even with…
Product Review: Dropps for laundry & dishes
I purchased this product myself and my review is my own experience. I’ve been using Dropps since January 2020. We’ve been through several delivery cycles and testing. I support and encourage these as a plastic-free option and a scent/fragrance-free option. We use unscented for both products. The dishes are clean and the glass comes out…
Zero Waste Face Masks
Several types of cloth reusable face masks are addressed here. I wanted to make face masks using materials I already had and items that could be re-purposed and reused. Since social media is all a buzz about more medical-looking face mask, I’ll share this first. I was fortunate to have a scrap/rag bag going on…
Product Review: Patch bandages
I purchased this product myself and my review is my own experience. I’ve been trying out Patch bandages over the last several months. I have two of the four types: coconut oil and aloe vera. I’m almost out so I’m ready to share. I first heard about Patch bandages on Treehugger. Read the post, it…
