Is your Deodorant Recyclable? Only ONE Deodorant Stick is 100% Recyclable !

The ONLY 100% Recyclable Deodorant Stick !

I just switched to Tom's of Maine deodorant after I read an article about how many deodorant sticks are in landfills because they are not recyclable. So many people think that deodorant sticks are being recycled because they are plastic. They aren't because most are made with mixed plastics and have different components that are not able to be recycled.

Another product switched to a greener option on my quest for a greener life for my family. My husband noticed yesterday that there are new and different products in our house. I haven't told him my whole theory and practice this year. I simply answered that I am trying to make better choices for our family and our environment.

Be Green and Get Rid of Shaving Cream !

Get rid of shaving cream and use another product that is in every shower.

Part of being green is using less and consuming less. So, part of our More Green campaign in our house I will be looking for ways to eliminate or consolidate products.

I have eliminated shaving cream from my life. Guess what I use instead?

Hair Conditioner ! I wash my hair twice and always have more conditioner left over after the shampoo runs out. So, one day I was out of shaving cream and decided instead of borrowing my husband's that I would try my hair conditioner. It worked great ! You really just want to create a smooth environment to shave and it being a moisturizer is an added benefit.

What product in your house can you use for more than one purpose ?

California Baby - Green Baby - 2009.Feb.10

I have been using California Baby products for over 10 years now !

I started looking into various organic and sodium laurelth sulfate free products after the birth of my first child in 1998. I have very sensitive skin and my son does also. He was prone to eczema and would have outbreaks after eating certain items and after using certain products on him at bathtime. So, I began my quest to find something that wouldn't make my poor baby break out in these horrible itchy eczema patches.

Upon research, investigation, and recommendations I found out about California Baby and bought gift set of 2oz sizes of all of their products at a local health food store and have been hooked ever since. I now love their 17.5oz pump bottle of their combo hair and body wash in Calming. When you are washing the little ones it's nice to be able to pump out the hair and body wash with one hand, so I can keep the other on that slippery little sucker !

"California Baby products are free from common allergens such as milk, egg, peanut, walnut, cashew, almond and pecans, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat. California Baby products are also free of gluten and casein.NO Sulfates, DEA, Colors, Dyes, Synthetic Fragrances or Numbing Agents." To read more about their ingredients and what they do and don't have in their products, see the link below.

I am thrilled to see that now Target carries California Baby ! I love Target and shop their often and it is very convenient for me to pick it up when I am there. However, I do still support my local health foods store and continue to purchase California Baby from them when I am in buying vitamins.
