    At the beginning of each year I like to toss away some of my old soaps, shampoos, and misc. household items and try to find new things. Since I just moved in with my hubby, I really need to toss a lot and start a new.

    A couple of the things I cant part with are:

    Mrs. Meyer's hand soap in lavender, Melaleuca's renew body lotion, anything by Seventh Generation, Method furniture/wood wipes, my swiffer!! (a little trick though, create cleaning solvent and soak an old washcloth in it- attach that to the swiffer. Its way more eco-friendly!), and Victoria Secret's detergent and dryer sheets. Oh- and those glad candles in vanilla are great too!

    So what are some of your favs?

    I love Aveeno oatmeal lotion. It is completel unscented & really gentle and if I have a cut or something on my hands, it doesn't burn when applied.

    I also love Nioxin hair gel. It is very natural & doesn't make me break out if it gets on my skin.

    Oh, and Loreal Everpure shampoo & conditioner. Sulfate-free. Very nice :)

    I'm addicted to Bath and Body Works Wallflowers, especially in Creamy Nutmeg and Leaves. Can't sop using Lavendar Sandalwood fabric softener liquid, but I don't remember who makes it. And I love my Shark steam mop for cleaning the hardwoods. Just uses water!

    I would love to try the VS detergent.. but I don't seperate mine & hubby's clothes when I wash them & I don't know if he wants to smell perfumy ;)

    I totally agree - Meyers ANYTHING but I do like the lavender best.

    I love Trader Joe's Green all-purpose cleaner and Avalon hand soap from TJ's is great too. I'm pretty loyal to Dr bronner's soap too. For high end stuff I love Kiehl's and L’occitane. But for everyday cheaper stuff I've been using a lot of Aveeno lately sometimes I get the CVS generic stuff too.

    Love Korres stuff - esp the bitter almond.  Good old Jergins really helps with my severely dry skin + hotter than the sun apt. ;-)

    I have been addicted to Softsoap Orange Peel and Honeysuckle bath gel. I'm on my third bottle of it. I think it may be the best smell every created, I wish they would make a perfume or something of it.

    My other is Fruit of the Earth Vitamin E cream. It doesn't look like much, but my doctor told me about it, and I am telling you, it really is the best thing ever. He recommends it to patients that have undergone surgery to help reduce scars. I have really dry skin, and it is the only thing that has worked for me.

    The CO Bigelow Rose Salve is my go to product. I use it on my hands when they get dry from washing them so much and also on my lips. It smells good and works so well!

    @okqueenbee- just heard about the Everpure shampoo and was wondering how it was! My hair is super dry because of the winter.. you recommend it? As for the VS detergent- do your pantyhose with it in the sink then.. its soooo amazing!

    I forgot about the body shop's shea scent bubble bath- its soooo soothing! Too bad my tub is uncomfortable.. well, maybe thats a good thing or else Id been in there forever!
