When it comes to soaps I am one of the fussiest consumers. I am very concerned about the well being of our environment and our water supply. I urge, maybe even beg people to please ease off soaps that aren't good for our future. I have been using A la Maison soap and a variety of Trader Joe's as well as Whole Foods bar soaps for a very long time. There are a few formulations in this brand that don't have all of the natural ingredients that I look for but some are great about having just a few simple ingredients. I melt these bars to make liquid laundry soap as well.

Let's talk underwear. Dear, reader, please wash your underwear in natural ingredients because it's a piece of clothing that comes very very close to your skin. Please don't use talc powder and baby powder on your bottom because it should be common sense by now that these products should not get absorbed into your body. I actually hand wash my underwear right when I remove them and just as I jump in the shower on most days and I think it is a habit that should come back.
For those of you who insist on purchasing lacy underwear, hand washing them will make them last and last. Lacy underwear do get wholely and eventually they become difficult if not embarrassing to wear. I think our culture can benefit from learning to reuse and repurpose products as to not throw away things easily and waste not only money but also land fill space. I think one of the best ways to repurpose lacy wholely underwear is to wash it and scrunch it together to make a scrubby for bathroom and shower spaces.
