What I have noticed is that women's razors cost more than men's  razor. As far as disposable razors, I think it was a matter of convenience for travel but now it's just a way to sell more expensive products.

This was extremely hard. I had no idea how much I used single use plastics. I have been trying to watch what I buy now.

I started looking at deodorants and other products when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I now look for more natural products with fewer chemicals. I have also been doing more research in making my own personal products.

I've been pretty careful all along about how I spend. I don't get paid enough to just buy too many impulse items. With this commitment though I think harder about little things, like whether or not to toss in a pre-made (plastic wrapped) sandwich when I'm at the grocery store. Long term I don't think a lot will change because I already buy so little. I do think more about the pretty little cheap things that appeal to me, I ask myself, sure it's cute, but what will I do with it? 

I'm finding this challenge especially hard at the farmers market. BUT yesterday, I made some reusable cloth bags (out of an old tablecloth) to use a the market and the grocery store. I'll try to remember to post some pictures of the bags. And i'm super excited to try these out next weekend at the market.
