    Traveling can be so hard. I felt a cold coming on so all the things I bought at the airport were of course in plastic. Ugh. Yes, they can be recycled, but not all of it and still not great. I have a lot left to do these last few days of the challenge.

    I tried the toothpaste tablets today for the first time. It was odd feeling but I am excited about using them when I travel
