      I'm going to have to try this! I tried to replace the deodorant last year, buuuuuut what I got isn't really what I thought it would be. 

      Weirdly enough, I have a tiny bit of my conditioner bar left form last year's Plastic Free July Challenge!

    Through social media I can reach many people at a time, and sometimes people who I don't know well enough to reach out to individually.  Plus, they can so easily share what I post and pass it along to more!
