I know, I know, this is a blog about green building and products right? Well, along the subject of all things green; saving energy, saving money, saving consumption...I stumbled upon the following information and I couldn't help but think how many women would love to know this stuff! Well, more than that, actually have the time to apply it to their lives, but in any case it is an incredible source of information I have now "favorited" on my desktop for that time in my life when I will have time. But, I'll encourage you in this venture much like I do any other area of my own life, just start with one. Start recycling one thing. Start reading one book on 'green living'. Start making one beauty product. Start implementing ONE change in your life at a time and discipline yourself (your kids, your family, etc) to master just that one before moving on.
(The following is a blog from Planet Green and if you'd like to see the article in its entirity feel free to follow the link below, we have simply put the information below for your own convenience, but in no way claim the article as our own, but a great source of information!)
"I looked at my bathroom counter this morning and realized that I buy very few commercially-manufactured beauty products anymore. Mixed up in baby food jars and other reused containers, my daily arsenal consists of homemade shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste/tooth whitener, lip balm, lip gloss, dry skin salve, and solid perfume. The goats milk soap I buy is locally made by a non-profit goat rescue farm. And my kids use a lot of the same stuff I do.
The items below are easy and fairly inexpensive to make. You can customize many of these to your own preferences. And you'll have the peace of mind of knowing that you aren't putting anything harmful on your body."
