Oh my God I love this soap

Product number two on my list of potentially awesome thing is this soap by Kiss My Face. I have been using it to wash my face in the morning and my skin is AMAZING, especially considering I'm in that horrible PMS phase where you break out and eat chocolate four times a day.

I have oily skin and this cleanses gently while not stripping all the moisture out of my face. I'd imagine it'd be great on your body as well, but I'm a loofah kind of girl.

I have to admit I bought four bars of this because it was on clearance at Target.

It's not crazy expensive as a full sized bar, but you can also purchase a bucket of trial sizes to make sure you like things before you commit to a full sized purchase, which I really like.

They're packaged in just recyclable paper, which is also pretty awesome.

Smelling Green!

Last week in a fit of insane consumerism (also known as OH MY GOD WHY DOES EVERYTHING IN THE BATHROOM RUN OUT AT ONCE!?) I purchased a number of things that keep us clean and presentable while also minimizing our impact on the planet. This week I'll be featuring each one, along with what I think of how it performs.

First up, this deodorant. Jesse complained that his smelled like a hospital, I think it smells fine. I have to say, it actually works quite well. It doesn't contain aluminum, nor is it animal tested. If you click on the "ingredients" tab on the right, not only does the site tell you what's in each scent, but where it came from. Nothing on the list came from petroleum based sources, nor was it made in a lab.

I find that pretty cool.

Also, I'd rather smell like lavender than what some of the other leading brands offer (Smooth Cashmere was one, and I can't figure out what that's supposed to smell like - a sweater?). Men's deodorant is even worse.. smelling some of the Axe scents in particular is enough to make me gag.
