I would probably spend it on cloth pads, I’m a big cloth fan!
Lee 🙂
The other day I received a shipment from Wee Essentials, an Etsy shop, dedicated to living a greener lifestyle. I got a few bags of soap bits, some cloth nursing pad and the soothing sinus relief balm. The soap bits are a very cool idea. They are exactly the right size to make a great soaking solution or one-use guest soaps. I like them for taking them in my purse and using them in restrooms that don’t happen to have soap in their soap dispensers. These soaps are made with shea butter and are naturally a high-glycerin soap which means they are very moisturizing, which is really important to moms that have to wash their hands all the time. I really prefer these to using that antibacterial gel that is very popular right now. The gel is full of chemicals and alcohol, and really helps to promote resistant strains of bacteria. A good hand washing does just as much disinfecting and doesn’t contribute to resistant bacteria.
These great little soap bits come in all sorts of lovely scents. I got to try honeyed almond, lavender chamomile, My Baby love and Cherry Vanilla. Oh so wonderful smelling, but not too strong. I gave some to my mom because she is addicted to those awful antibacterial gels. I was hoping this would encourage her to stop using them and instead use these great little soap bits.
I think one of the best items Wee Essentials offers is the Soothing Sinus Relief Balm. It is a Vicks-like eucalyptus and menthol scented balm that is applied directly to your nose. It helps to open clogged sinus but it also helps sooth raw and irritated noses. It comes in a lip balm size stick and is full of really hydrating and healing oils such as jojoba, almond and macadamia. Good for anyone with a bad cold.
Lastly I wanted to tell you about a green movement that I think many women don’t even think about and that is using Cloth Menstrual Pad. These pads replace you disposable pads and are very convenient. They are shaped like traditional disposable pad, they even have “wings”, but they are reusable. Simply soak the used pads (in the solution you made from your soap bits) and then wash. Once they are dry you can use them again. You need a few to get you through your cycle, but they are very economical and since they don’t end up in a landfill they are a much “greener” alternative to disposable pads.
