    This past weekend my family and I had a great time recycling beads at the ArcGNO. My 8 and 3 year-old had a blast. Its like a treasure hunt that helps the planet! :)

      I am so glad someone is doing this.  Everyone has a zillion of these things around their homes and there's no good reason to make more!

    Using bar shampoo and conditioner is fun! And, they work much better than I anticipated. :)

      Yeah! It works great. I was actually surprised by how well both the shampoo and conditioner worked. :) And, good to know its palm oil free too!
