Slowly but surely I've been replacing each product of my everyday life with natural, organic and/or eco-friendly products. Sometimes its harder than others. Today my sinuses were on a rampage, sneezing my brain out. I have to get soft Puff brand type tissues, otherwise my little nose will be red. I've tried the other recycled type brands, but they basically suck. So I kind of staggered out of the apartment to get a few things from the grocery store and allergy drugs. I didn't go the extra 3 blocks to the "nicer" grocery store, cause basically I was tired and my brain was a bit cloudy. Anyway, they didn't have the 7th Generation recycled garbage bags I usually get. They had all the major name brands, none of which say from recycled products. I had to swallow my guilt and suck it up to buy just plain old plastic bags. I did remember to bring my own bag to the store. I've been proud of myself on doing that. What I don't get is, when I mention to the cashier that I've got my own bag which I then put on the counter, they just like stop. I have to dig out my money and they don't even bother putting the stuff in the bag like they would if I hadn't stopped them from using a plastic bag. The world seems to run on the same method without room for change. My mom just switched over to reusable bags. Of course she lives in a place where plastic grocery bags will be recycled (not a single grocery store in my hood does this).
Products I love:
Shikai Color Reflect - shampoo and conditioner
Kiss My Face - shaving cream
7th Generation - paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags
Mrs Meyers - counter top spray, good for cleaning Marley's paw prints
JASON tea tree- deodorant (no aluminum)
Nature's Gate hemp - body lotion
Lily of France bar soap - lavender
And yes, Marley is on natural, grain-free canned food by Wellness. No more dry food. He is also on a daily dose of liquid acidolphillus (for digestion) and Pawier (for his dirty eyes and ears). A street cat never had it so good.
