I have been unemployed now for a few weeks, but still, as I run out of my staple personal care products: soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, facial cleanser, moisturizer, etc…instead of saving a dollar here and there buying the mainstream store brand products with chemicals in them, it is worth it to me to invest a little bit more in myself and my health and buy organic.

Tip: A great way to save some a little money on organic skin care products is to buy them directly from the manufacturer. http://www.obligebynature.com is one of my favorites. I love their products – they work better than any of the drugstore & department store brands – and I see even better results with my skin than when I used the prescription-strength products that I purchased in the past from my doctor’s office. And though the price might be a little more than the drugstore brand, it costs a lot less than the department store brands and is entirely worth it !
