I rarely regret my decision to avoid shampoo, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't occasionally miss the scent of freshly-washed hair.

Because of this, I tend use baking soda more frequently than is necessary. This is both wasteful and not so great for my already dry hair.

It's far too soon to give a definitive opinion, but my skin isn't revolting against me yet (which is always a good sign). Be on the lookout for the reviews!

My brain feels tired, and so I'm giving it a little break. Here are some links for you guys to check out while it rests: I'm excited to try this natural hair colour mask to hopefully make mine a little less dull. Need a reminder of which ingredients it's most important to avoid? This article made me realize that I definitely need to update/add to my ingredients to avoid page. This story about fragrance that a reader shared with Alexandra and Siobhan is both scary and inspirational. I need to take a page out of Rachel's...

If there's one thing I love, then it's drinking from a straw. It somehow seems more ladylike than taking sips directly from a glass, and it's especially convenient at restaurants (when direct mouth to cup contact is hardly ideal). Unfortunately, the unnecessary waste created by and toxins leached through plastic straws have been more than enough to keep this straw fan skeptical.
When I heard about Glass Dharma, I was immediately intrigued. With BPA and the disposable element out of the way, I could...
