Since I am having so much fun on Carla’s No(Low) Spending Challenge I decided to do one more.
Confession time:
I am a product junkie. I have an obscene amount of shampoos, conditioners, body washes, lotions and potions. A lot of them are at least half full (vs half empty)!!
I am was always game to try something new. Then I started to read up on toxins and various additives that one should not put on your body. I looked at the ingredients on products I already owned and abandoned a lot of items as I was trying to take Sodium Laureth Sulfate, paraben, petroleum jelly and mineral oil out of my life.
This has left me with products I will not use again and instead of throwing them out, I just put them under the bathroom sink.
This brings me to Katy’s The “Use it Up, Wear it Out Make it Do or Do Without” Challenge.
I am going to find homes for all my partially used containers. I am sure I must have at least 2 friends or family members who are willing to accept some if not all of it.
By the end of this week month I want to be rid of all the toiletries I will never use again.

That’s a great challenge for yourself! The girls & I use organic shampoo… Hubby & ds don’t though. Maybe one day… at least we’re doing what we can!
I have considered no-poo but I’m not sure it would work for my hair.
[...] for my ‘other‘ challenge … I managed to get rid of some of the offending products but not all. :( [...]
