..............................
so i asked julie, as a great green-ie, to share an easy eco tip with us for earth week: love what she came up with!
'"What comes to mind for me, since we have mega hard water on this side of Canada , is how to deal with hard water caused build-up in your hair!! We moved to Ontario from BC last summer and the change in water hardness was destroying my hair!! It felt gross. It looked dull and sometimes wirey. I hated it!! So, before going out to buy some chemical hair care product to fix it, I did a little on line research. Turns out just plain old vinegar and water will do the trick! There is a recipe here: http://www.chagrinvalleysoapandcraft.com/shampving.htm . I’ve done it a couple times, and it really works. In addition to the vinegar rinse (which I do about every month to six weeks or so, but apparently it can be done more often) we bought a shower head water filter. The filters need to be changed ever six months or so, and it truly makes a difference. "
...............................
thanks so much, julie!
and what lovely hair to go with your amazing moo moos! :)
now .... this one shoulder jules mae original moomoo #10 can be yours! woohooo!

to be celebrating earth day this week i will be decreasing the length of time in the shower and shaving my legs after i am out of the shower instead of while in it. I will also continue to use my reusable shopping bags (even though i do that all the time anyway!) and i walk to places as often as i can instead of using the car.

ReplyDeleteI love the colors and style of moo moo #6 on the blog.
ReplyDeleteOne very easy, very earth-friendly tip is to reuse ziploc bags. It makes me so sad to see all of my coworkers throw out perfectly good ziplocs! I reuse mine as many times as possible before disposing them. A little soap and water is all you need people!
ReplyDeleteWell, the moo moos are wonderful (thanks for the giveaway!), but I also love the Versatile Floral Puff skirt. It really says "spring" to me.

My husband and I just moved into a new home. Since Earth Day was coming up, we decided that it was a great opportunity to start a new, earth-friendly habit. So, we've decided to start using cloth towels instead of paper towels. Since we're big consumers of paper towels, we thought this would help to make a difference.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
My favorite item from her shop is the Checkered A-Line Dress because it is really pretty and unique ( :
