Link to Nearly Natural: Try Again, Target.

Before moving to Lake Charles, I'd always hoped to live near a Target. Now that my wish has come true, frequent trips are inevitable. I still spend hours checking out their shoes, tights, pretty dress, and sale items, but their natural health and beauty section consistently leaves something to be desired. Below are a just a few of their worst offenders. I could easily name more than three, but  I've already shared my disappointment in Nature's Gate and I'm sure I'll address the others eventually.

Link to Nearly Natural: Ross Revisited

The following products were found at Ross, a store whose personal care section is becoming more and more of a disappointment with each trip.

This product might be sulfate free, but it's also full of petrochemical derivatives like propylene glycol and PEG-40 almond glycerides, as well as the ever-elusive fragrance.

Don't be fooled by fancy words like "green tea" and "dead sea." Sulfates and parabens...

Link to The DivaWash Review

Before I launch into my review of The DivaWash, I should probably tell you guys what I thought of The DivaCup. Since Danielle already crossed that bridge, I won't post an entire review of the little guy, but I do need to make it clear that I am completely converted. After experiencing an entire menstrual cycle with the cup, I can honestly say that I've never had a more pleasant period. I didn't feel like I was plugging a leak (as I often did with tampons) or wearing a diaper...

Link to A New Monthly Feature: Nearly Natural

While browsing the health and beauty section in Ross recently, I came up with what I think is a pretty fun idea for a new feature on the blog called Nearly Natural. So here's the deal- once a month or so I'll post a few pictures of products I've either seen while out or read about online whose ingredients aren't quite as safe as the product's brands/labels/packaging make them seem. I'm the worst about quickly skimming ingredient lists of products that boast the words "natural" and "organic" and doing little research before making a purchase. Hopefully these posts will make...

Any dog shampoo experts out there?

Link to Any dog shampoo experts out there?

Clementine and Winston, my sweet dogs, have a big bad flea problem every year around this time.  We've been using Hydrosurge Oatmeal Soothing Shampoo from Walmart (I'm not proud of that; it doesn't have the best ingredients).  It's not relieving their itching at all, and it's certainly not killing the fleas.  We have resorted to using dish detergent, which kills the fleas.  Still, I'm very uneasy about using something that's made for washing dishes on my dogs. I also think that it's making their skin dry (duh.) and, as a result, more itchy. I've...
