In January I ordered Nohbo Shampoo Drops to try and review. The Nohbo company had been featured in an update episode of "Shark Tank" after its initial appearance in 2016. After that 2016 episode, I had ordered Nohbo Shampoo Balls, which were the original version of the eco-friendly shampoo balls. The order partially crumbled during shipping and I was unable to get my hands on another order in the ... Read more
Checking My Cruelty-Free Beauty Empties on the Think Dirty App
I love sharing my most recent cruelty-free beauty empties and my thoughts about them, but this time I wanted to also search the Think Dirty app for their scores.

Trying Popular Lush Bath Bombs
I'm a bath lover, especially using colorful bath bombs. Taking baths is something I like to do about once or twice a week as part of my bedtime routine. It helps me relax so that I can fall asleep more easily and gives me much-needed me time at the end of the day. I recently received a bunch of Lush bath bombs as a gift, and I thought I'd share my thoughts on using each one, along with photos of ... Read more

Recent Cruelty-Free Beauty Empties, Vol. 12
It's been some time since I shared my recent cruelty-free beauty empties! I've been compiling most of my empties in order to share my thoughts about the products and whether I would repurchase them. Not all of the products are pictured in this post because I may have been traveling when I used them up, or I might have accidentally recycled them by them. My most recent empties: Mama Bee Belly ...

Pre-Baby Spending Ban
I have been in decluttering, organization and cleaning mode for a couple of weeks now. There's something about the approaching change of seasons that inspired this, but mostly it's preparation for the baby's arrival! As part of my simplifying, I decided after analyzing my February expenses that I also want to implement a mini pre-baby spending ban in March (and possibly April, too!). The main idea ... Read more
