Aiming for Simplicity
Well I have been looking more into alternatives for the products we use and have found some other options. I am not sure how it will work but the same website from the previous post has an entry for alternative to deodorant, Using Everclear (or high grain alcohol) simply spritzed in the arm pits. The alcohol will get rid of the bacteria and therefore should help eliminate the smell. And as for anti-perspirant, we are supposed to sweat!! :) Anyway have not tried it yet but as soon as I can save up the money for some everclear I will let you know how it goes. An update on the toothpaste: It is working great! I would even say it is better than store bought. I only brush once a day and they feel clean all day! I am going to try cutting down on the salt next time but it is definitely working! Please try it!! :)
I also want to get a rope and start drying the clothes outside on the balcony. Its a more efficient way and I love the smell of air dried clothes! Also it will cut some of that overly high electric bill from last month lol. We have also discussed hand washing clothes instead of a machine. I would love to do this and may do some before classes start back but then it will be back to the machine until the next break. Convenience is a must during the semester, especially the one coming up!
I know these are not revolutionary steps but we are trying to be more aware of what we are doing to the environment and also to our bodies and our checkbooks. I hope to have more and more ideas and to share them all but until then anything any of you have done or know of that we haven't come up with please feel free to share! Even if it's as simple as drying clothes outside.. we may have overlooked it. Well now for a trip to the store to buy a clothes line. :) Hope everyone has a great weekend!

P.S. Also going to try making our own jam. So don't forget those food tips if you have some!
