LIP: "Small Changes, Serious Impact"

Small Changes, Serious Impact

Yes, another AT post to discuss. Sort of S&B related.

I agree and have done most of these. I don't do the flowers but often pick some up in my local market. It reminds of London. My flower guy was set up right outside my tube stop and I often bought some.

The flower thing is weird, especially since the advice in the article trends toward the ecofriendly. The flower market is notorious for water waste and fertilizer runoff/contamination. Cut flowers are definitely *not* ecofriendly.

We've attempted to switch out our rental shower head, but our current one is stuck on there (

I've always followed the rule of same hangers and color coding in my closet and I agree, I love fresh flowers!

I don't agree on the soap though. H converted me to bar soap and I really feel cleaner after it. Plus, although maybe it was the types I was using but all of the flowery smell good soaps tend to make my back breakout.

And ew, I MUST use a top sheet. In addition to that, we use duvet covers for our comforters.

I like bar soap and I like the top sheet

Me too. I am super sensitive to most fragrances and chemical ingredients and, therefore, will stick with my bar soap that only has three ingredients.

I don't miss the top sheet at all. In fact, ours would always get tangled up and annoy the crap out of me.

I like the top sheet too. Actually I need it because we don't have A/C and it's way too hot for a duvet!

I also like bar soap.

I totally agree with the hangers, glad I switched to all black slim hangers.

I buy fresh flowers for our places every couple weeks.

Does the shower head really make a big difference?

Hell yes, that's one thing that I definitely think is worth spending over $100 on!!

I soaked my old apartment shower head the other night in vinegar & now it works amazingly. I'd love to have fresh flowers like that, but not willing to spend the money on a constant basis. I despise the top sheet. It's evil & it's only purpose in life is to get tangled in my feet & annoy me. My hangers are a mess, but my clothes are separated by type & kinda by color.
