Your Green Resource :: Week 59

Hello friends! It’s time for another instalment of Your Green Resource. Last week was my first time joining in as an official hostess, and I am excited about the weeks ahead. I do hope that there will be some Red & Honey readers who will add to the links. If you do, would you leave a comment below so I can be sure not to miss your post? Also – don’t forget that you can link up old posts too, so if you have stuff from your archives that fits our criteria, link it up! This is meant to be a fabulous resource for all of us, so let’s share all we can!

What is “Your Green Resource”? It’s your chance to share all your green ideas, resources and solutions with ALL of our readers! That’s right, when you link up on any of our blogs, your idea will get shared with all of the readers here and at:

Emily at Live Renewed, Megan at Sorta Crunchy, Stacy at A Delightful Home, Rebekah at Simply Rebekah, and Mindy of Creating Naturally

We know that many of you have posts of your own about your green journey that our readers will love. Some examples of Green Resources you can link up:

* Real Food Recipes
* Repurposed Projects
* Upcycled Projects
* Organic Gardening Tips
* DIY Natural or Green
* Thrifty Solutions

In addition to making this a weekly place where you can both share and learn new green ideas, each week we’ll be Pinning our favorite post to the Your Green Resource board! We want your green ideas to go viral – so we’ll pin the post for you!

The post I chose to pin from last week was: Filter Your Shower Water to Reduce Toxins & Improve Skin & Hair Health (Video) from Ashley’s Green Life.

 Ashley says:“We all like a nice, long, hot shower but did you know that one nasty little chemical may be lurking in your shower water? This little fella can cause dry skin, dry and unruly hair, and increased toxin load in the body?  What is it you may ask?…”I find this fascinating, because I am forever stepping out of the shower with VERY dry skin, especially on my face where it gets itchy and tight feeling, even with coconut oil slathered all over (one of my never-ending to-do’s is to try and find a more effective moisturizer recipe, but I have a feeling filtering my shower water would probably help a ton too!).

So, now it’s your turn:

Just a few things to remember as you share your green living links – OLD OR NEW – with us each week:

* Make sure to link to the post with your green/natural/frugal living idea – not your homepage.

* We would love it if you could spread the word about Your Green Resource to YOUR readers by linking back to one of the six hostesses. Posts with a link back to Your Green Resource are the posts eligible to be pinned to our Your Green Resource pinboard each week.

 * Your Green Resource is a GREAT way to connect with other like-minded bloggers. Check out the other links shared this week – it’s a great way to grow your own blogging community!

Happy Thursday!

    We use a shower filter from Nikken much like the one in your picture. It alleviates chlorine and other toxins in the water. Great for the skin and hair.

    Cool! Thanks again for featuring my post! I was in the same boat at you with walking out of the shower and having my skin feel so dry and irritated and I was wondering why? Despite my use of natural body wash and plain old coconut oil lotion My problem…I hadn’t changed my shower filter in over 2 years…yikes! The difference I noticed once I got my new filter was amazing, so I had to get the word out there. I love how it’s such a simple and easy tip, but it can have such a profound effect on your skin, hair, and health. Thanks so much for sharing it!

    The post I’m linking this week is how I “Start Every Day with Warm Water & Lemon”
