    I've been really surprised at how easy it has  been to cook a zero plastic waste meal.

    I have been using my new bamboo toothbrush for a week now. I'm all on board with it, but the family still needs some encouragement.

    Made some Homemade Natural Deoderant today to try to cut back on that plastic!
    Here is the recipe if anyone is interested in making some as well.

      I really like the conditioner bar...more than I expected to. The sampler pack came with two different body soaps...one foaming and one creamy...I love how they both smell, but prefer the foaming one. I also got bar deodorant and lotion and I really like both of those!

    Trying very hard to reduce plastics in all aspects of my life...it is hard, but taking part in this challenge has made me more aware! Ordered my first bamboo toothbrush today!

      Mine is this brand. Found on Etsy. I haven’t looked into toothpaste yet, but I’m also interested. I’ll let you know what I find. :)

      Kelly, were you able to find it locally or did you order it?

      I bought this toothpaste in a glass jar. Read good reviews about remineralization of tooth enamel, which I need with all the acid in my Diet Cokes! (In aluminum cans.) It tastes like salty Listerine.

      I'm planning on getting a bamboo toothbrush this week too! What kind did you get? 
      Also going to need to get more toothpaste soon, so I'm going to look into the brands that use the metal tubes intead of plastic, have you looked into any of those by chance?

    YAY!! Plastic-free July. Currently trying to brainstorm ideas to encourage others outside of my organization to participate. 
    Also, I just ordered some shampoo, conditioner, and body bars to #giveupthebottle. So excited to challenge myself and my peers.
