As soon as I'm done with this pack however, I am done. It's just more healthy to use things like baking soda and vinegar.<br />http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/swiffer.aspAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818565776731697636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532540341317754701.post-31622139471794754952011-01-04T09:42:42.402-05:002011-01-04T09:42:42.402-05:00I'm making green changes slowly, one step at a...I'm making green changes slowly, one step at a time. If I went all in at once, nothing would stick. So... I'm better about taking my own bags to the grocery store (and using paper bags for the extra stuff); I recycle more; I buy less beef and pork... things like that. Still lots more I could change, but habits take time to learn.A.

It didn't solve my chronic dandruff, but it cut it by about 70%.<br />I have to confess also that I don't wear makeup...cause I'm lazy, but not having any idea what really goes into the stuff makes me not want to wear it ever.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818565776731697636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3532540341317754701.post-50591112215342022402011-01-02T00:58:51.507-05:002011-01-02T00:58:51.507-05:00I use Burt's Bees shampoo, conditioner, and fa...I use Burt's Bees shampoo, conditioner, and face wash. My hair is softer, shinier, and my face breaks out less. I also use Physician's Formula makeup...not really organic, but it's much better than Cover Girl. Also, baking soda makes a great exfoliant and apple cider vinegar is an awesome toner (also, some people use ACV as a conditioning rinse for their hair).<br /><br />As for cleaning supplies, I buy white distilled vinegar by the gallons...great for multi-purpose cleaning. I use it on countertops, for mopping, and an additive in the laundry. Baking soda is great for scrubbing out a tub. I switched to natural cleaning products because my cats were getting sick from the Scrubbing Bubbles I used in the tub (they like to play in the tub after we shower) and the chemicals in Swiffer products are known to cause cancer in pets.Mandy Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905592832649220489noreply@blogger.com
