See Water Hardness section below for details ✧ ✧ D E S C R I P T I O N -------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Natural Solid Dish Soap is specifically formulated to cut through stubborn grease and grime on your pots and pans while being gentle on your hands. Coconut Oil known for its effective cleansing properties, Castor Oil promotes lather, and addition of Olive Oil creates an exceptionally mild bar that is perfect for daily dish duty. It's the perfect accompaniment to a Zero-Waste and Sustainable lifestyle. Our Solid Dish Soap is an effective no-plastic alternative that works great on your dishes, as a kitchen cleaner for your countertops and stovetop, and even as a laundry stain remover. I N G R E D I E N T S -------------------------------------------------------------------- It's pretty simple! Saponified Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Sodium Lactate, and Essential oils. It's all natural, vegan, and does not contain any synthetic detergents, fragrance, colorants, and preservatives-unlike mass-produced commercial dishwashing liquids. Full List of Ingredients: Citrus Herb- Saponified Organic Coconut oil, Olive Oil, Organic Castor Oil, Sodium lactate*, Lemon Essential Oil, Bergamot Essential Oil, Grapefruit Essential Oil, Rosemary Essential Oil, Basil Essential Oil, Lemongrass Essential Oil Lemon Zest- Saponified Organic coconut oil, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Sodium lactate*, Lemon Essential Oil, Litsea Cubeba Essential Oil, Lemongrass Essential Oil Orange Bliss- Saponified Organic Coconut oil, Olive Oil, Organic Castor Oil, Sodium lactate*, Orange Essential Oil, Black Pepper Essential Oil *Sodium lactate is salt solution derived from the natural fermentation of sugars found in corn and beets that helps to strengthen the skin moisture barrier and results in a harder soap bar S C E N T S -------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Solid Dish Soap is naturally scented with a blend of steam-distilled plant-based essential oils. We do not use any synthetic fragrances. Citrus Herb - Our best selling scent! It has invigorating notes of citrus and fresh cut herbs. Lemon Zest - It has bright citrus notes of lemon and lemongrass. Orange Bliss - It has an uplifting orange scent with a spicy black pepper undertone. D I R E C T I O N S -------------------------------------------------------------------- Wet sponge or scrubbing brush and rub solid dish soap to create a lather. Wash items and rinse well. Works best with warm water. For best results, we recommend storing your soap in a dry area and using a soap dish that fully drains when not in use. W A T E R · H A R D N E S S -------------------------------------------------------------------- Natural Soap and Synthetic Detergents (found in commercial dishwashing formulas) react differently to hard water. The over-abundance calcium and magnesium decrease lather and affect the cleansing and rinsing abilities of natural soaps while synthetic detergents are typically less susceptible to the effects of hard water. As such, we unfortunately do not recommend using our Natural Dishwashing soap in households with hard water. How do you know if you have hard water? If you have it, you definitely know! Signs include but are not limited to mineral build up around water fixtures, soap scum in your sink and bathtub, mineral scale on dishes and residue on dishes. E C O - F R I E N D L Y - P R O M I S E -------------------------------------------------------------------- We are committed to doing business sustainably. Our shipping materials are plastic-free and recyclable with mixed paper. And don't worry if you see clear tape being used on your package- it's 100% plant-derived, renewable, and naturally biodegradable! P A C K A G I N G - F R E E -------------------------------------------------------------------- We use eco-friendly and 100% recyclable packaging for our soaps. In an effort to further reduce waste our products will ship "Naked" unless the "Kraft box" option is selected. H O W · I T S · M A D E -------------------------------------------------------------------- Our soap is handmade in small batches using traditional Cold Process Soap making methods. We use only high-quality plant-based oils and natural botanicals- no harsh detergents, preservatives, or artificial fragrances here! After each batch of soap is hand-poured and cut into individual bars, it is allowed to cure for 4-6 weeks. This process leaves behind a gentler, harder, longer-lasting bar that is perfect for daily kitchen use while being environmentally friendly. Please note that all our soaps are meticulously handmade. Due to this process, there may be a slight variation from one item to the next. Such variations are inherent in the creation of truly handmade products, so you may expect minor distinctions that will make your purchase special and truly one of a kind.

What is self-sufficiency? The definition is needing no outside help in satisfying one's basic needs, especially with regard to the production of food. Over the years, I’ve read many books and articles claiming that food self-sufficiency is possible on a quarter acre. From my own experience, I have to say I disagree. So how much space is necessary to be self-sufficient in regards to food? I hope to enlighten you to a more reality based self-sufficient garden space needs based on experience.

Beautiful sustainable home located on an island with rooms to rent. This post comes from an ad on airbnb for rooms, in what they define as an “Earthship". A sustainable home mostly built from recycled materials, which utilises clean form of energy like the sun and recycles water (which is re-used to water the plants). It makes the most of the heat and the cold stored in the ground, to heat and cool the building during the seasons. The home is located on Prince Edward Island, which is one of Canada's eastern maritime provinces. We assume Island life to be slow, reflective and this home, just adds to the romantic view. That said there are lessons that can be learnt and it's nice to see that slowly city life if catching up to the idea of this kind of clean living, I hope we get there soon...

It started out with me thinking about my New Year's Resolutions. I've never been a huge fan on resolutions. Everyone makes them and come February they are nothing but well intentions of the past. I usually find a way around New Year's Resolutions by making monthly goals (although granted, I'm not always great about sticking to those either!) So I was thinking about monthly goals and thinking about what to share with all of you, when it dawned on me that we could take this journey together! Each month, I've come up with a different theme or area of natural
