Body wash, soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste samples are a great size for kids who often 'lose' stuff at camp. Also good to make up a few little packs in zip lock bags for travel & as spares for guests. These little packs are a great donation to your local hospital, we use them for our emergency Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09132967058400596816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446510302276602364.post-66125441901209907872013-06-14T14:51:29.777-04:002013-06-14T14:51:29.777-04:00I use all of it one shower... but I have tons of c...I use all of it one shower... but I have tons of crazy hairalexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03036067786827214157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446510302276602364.post-83430527467611094702013-03-21T20:29:12.517-04:002013-03-21T20:29:12.517-04:00Ah Heather, You seem like such a smart girl.

For 4 years I've been using the following on my hair:<br /><br />Shampoo: 1 Tablespoon of baking soda to 1 cup of water.* Mix until the soda is dissolved. <br />Just pour on your hair until it is all wet and work it through with your fingers. You won't get any lather but your hair will be clean and free of any chemicals.

Great for days when you don't have time to condition your hair or it's still in knots after using conditioner. My hair is thin and curly and always a mess after washing. It works really well as long as I don't put too much on.Kat's Purrfect Boutiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12581855234416469744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446510302276602364.post-51287702585141130322011-08-04T16:11:02.763-04:002011-08-04T16:11:02.763-04:00interesting idea.
