Happy Earth Day!!


Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Earth Day and thought I would share my little experiment with everyone.  I've been secretly trying an experiment where I use 50% less!  I am a waster and not proud of it.  I wondered if I could get by using half the amount I normally use.  I started out by trying to use half the amount of shampoo I usually use and you know what, it was fine.  And it took half as much water and time to rinse it out.  I tried the same thing with my body wash.  I've also tried it with my laundry detergent.  I thought it would be weird but you know what, my clothes are just as clean.  Other things I have tried this on:  cleaning supplies, paper towels, toothpaste, toilet paper, and lotion.  It's been kind of fun challenging myself to use half.  Best part of all... it saves MONEY!  That's right!  Just call me the mean green money saving machine!  No, really, don't call me that.
