I buy organic food but never thought about items like makeup and soap. I hope you run more posts like this in the future! Sherry, just read this and it was really informative.

While I am not ready to give up certain things (perfume and nail polish...I can't even explain how much I love painting my nails), we are moving into our first house soon and this inspired me to get rid of lots of stuff. I am a product junkie, especially bath products. And even though I figured out awhile ago which colors of makeup work for me, I still have makeup from 8-10 years ago (in a separate "makeup you don't wear often" container-- wth?). Anyhow, while I'm not ready to give up certain categories of products, this post inspired me to get rid of extras and stick to the "one thing at a time" philosophy- like one thing of body lotion and NO MORE until that one is gone, etc. Love this post.

My husband and I currently live in Northern Virginia and are so inspired by you site. We are forever trying to find ways to simplify our crazy lives between work, traffic, children and pets. This blog really got me thinking about my cluttered mess of cosmetics that I rarely use and I have begun to perge thanks to you. Your site is bookmarked and I have checked in everyday since my husband found younglove. It has always been our dream to find an old fixer upper and get to work so thanks for all the amazing ideas. As I am trying to make the switch from harmful chemicals to strickly natural/organic products I am very intrested in your trial runs and feedback. I will stay tuned and spread the word about your site.....really silly question where did you get your soap dispenser? I love it!!! Such a clean and classy look very Pottery Barn ish. Thanks again and happy blogging. Casey Sherry,

Kinda pathetic, eh? :) Love your writing style(s) and the awesome projects! I just got married and the hubs and I are already sharing shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, body wash... etc. We joke that we're living it up "Recession Style" - less is more because we don't have much other choice. ;) Love the blog - lots of inspiration! (We have an old house, too! 1950's old!) Sooooo…. I’ve been ogling your website for like… 1.5 hours at this point. Kinda pathetic, eh? :) Love your writing style(s) and the awesome projects!

While this original post was made quite a while ago - I was just browsing the site and found it for the first time & had to comment! :) I know that several of your readers mentioned it, but in addition to the personal benefits of organic & natural products they are also typically not tested on animals, which is awesome! I'm always a little surprised that people aren't aware how many of their cleaning products & personal care products are tested on animals. The more attention you can bring to that issue - the better! Also... while Burts Bee's was purchased by clorox they are still doing things the right way. I was able to take a tour of their Durham facility about a year ago & they are an amazing company & they've helped make Clorox greener too! They apparently helped them develope the greenworks line, which is not tested on animals. I still support them because they are local (for me), they are still natural, and they don't test on animals.
