    I didn't realize how much trash I had until the end of the day. It was only probably a handful of things but that's still quite a bit in the long run of things.

    I was walking on a trail near my parent's house with my family dog. It was simply nice to be out while taking our dog for a walk.

    Did anything about this action surprise you? Do you use more or less oil than you thought?

    I thought it was interesting to learn about the impact cooking oil has on our sewers. I didn't realize that oils would cause build up overtime and restrict waterflow on our sewers.
    I'm always looking for ways to make cleaning up after cooking easier. I never really enjoyed the thought of putting oil down my kitchen sink drain and especially now since I don't have a garbage disposal. It always makes me worried about what I can and can't put down my drain. I look forward to researching more on this topic.

    Most of the skincare products that I currently use are already cruelty free and clean, which was fantastic news! In fact, my Rhyme & Reason shampoo, conditioner, and leave in conditioner containers are all recyclable as well as cruelty free and vegan.
