Trader Joe’s Pure Castile Soap is an excellent product. It is gentle and non-toxic. The peppermint aroma is unbelievable! This soap can be used for body wash, bubble bath, shampoo, fruit wash, hand soap, dishes, counters, floors, and other surfaces. The premium brand of this soap sells for as much as $15.00, but you can buy this at Trader Joe’s for under $4.00 for a 16 oz bottle.
Method Home Aroma Soy Candles smell great. They are non-toxic and produce less soot than paraffin candles. They come in a variety of great scents. I recommend the Gingerbread Spice, Peppermint Vanilla, and Vanilla Apple scents. These candles come in either a clear glass container or a white ceramic container. I feel that the shape of the white ceramic container helps the candle burn more evenly than the clear glass containers do. You can also reuse the white ceramic container for a toothbrush or pen holder, or as a plant pot. These candles also make a great gift. They cost about $7.00 and can be found at some retail and organic stores.
I was looking for an inexpensive, BPA (a product that environmentalists like to complain about) free, reusable beverage bottle. I bought a famous brand water bottle at Whole Foods for about $20.oo. The “designer” water bottle broke the next day! So I was very pleased to find these Rubbermaid RefillReuse Chug Bottles. They come in different sizes and colors and are dishwasher safe. They are leakproof and BPA free. The best part is that they can be found for around $3.50 at most grocery and retail stores (the 20 oz model) . This is a great alternative to disposable drink bottles as well as expensive designer water bottles.
