Happy Lunar New Year! Just kidding, it's not actually until February. But sometime in the last few years, it's become de rigueur for brands to release a bunch of stuff for Lunar New Year. I never really noticed it because I live in the U.S. and it's not something that's celebrated everywhere, but now, immediately... Continue Reading →

Summer anti-haul

Holiday anti-haul: drugstore edition
Am I too late in the Christmas season to talk about products I don't want? Yes? Oh well, you're getting another anti-haul anyway.

When they introducted their Naked Shower Gels I thought the idea was really cool, and less plastic ending up in landfills... Continue Reading →
Spring anti-haul: stuff I won’t be purchasing
Happy Spring, friends! If you're lucky you've had spring weather for more than a week. I'm currently in northern Michigan with Dan and there are still snowbanks here, though it's been consistently above freezing so they're rapidly disappearing.
