Eco Dispenser

Oooh, these soap dispensers made of recycled glass by BreadandBadger (of Portland, Oregon) are so pretty! And aside from their recycled nature, the earth also benefits because you no longer have to purchase those plastic soap dispensers that get a one-time use, are flimsy and bendable, and then need to be recycled (which is just extra energy expenditure that is unnecessary). And let's face it, these dispensers are just flat out good looking...

A Soapy Situation

This soapy goodness is handmade by InseineCreations (pronounced "In-sane"), who has a very focused and inspiring view point behind the soaps she makes and sells:

I became interested in body products after I realized a lot of products contain ingredients that only dry out your skin, and therefore make you use more of their product, rather than pampering the skin and moisturizing it. It's a vicious cycle! My goal is for my customers not only to be able to pronounce all of the ingredients in my products, but to understand what they are and what they do. I only use cosmetic grade ingredients in my products, and use of animal products is limited (goat's milk and beeswax in some items). All products are tested on ME, my family, and my close friends before being offered to the public.

This shop's got my heart!

Roll Up Your Makeup

itssewyou8 made this cute makeup brush and tools organizer from some beautiful reclaimed fabric. I need one of these BAD. Right now my makeup tools are kind of all over the place, and require an annoying amount of digging, cursing, and fist shaking before I can find what I'm looking for...
