SOAP.

Hopefully everyone has had an experiance with soap in their lives. Hopefully. Soap is everywhere: in bathrooms, in kitchens, in classrooms.... Soap is a wonderful thing, let's just put that out there. But how much are you paying for your soap? What kind of soap do you buy? Some people could be busting out a good $6-$10 a month for soap! And yeah, soap is a good thing, but you can be paying that much for 6 months people, 6 freaking months. Even more, depending on how much you use. Oh, and there is a LOT of kinds of soap out there. If you're unaware, here's a little breakdown:

1) Hand Soap

Hand soap is like air, it is used whether you like it or not. Hand soap can come in liquid or bar form, like all soaps. The liquid soap can be anywhere between $3-$10 for about 8 oz. But the bar (let's take Ivory bar soap, that stuff has been in my house before I was born) soap is about $1.80 for 3, and that could last almost a year people! That's pretty good, if I do say so myself.

2) Body Wash/Body Soaps

This stuff litters your shower. There's the ones with exfoliating beads, and moisturizing, and acne care, and all sorts of crap. But you can make your own people! And it's pretty cheap. Who doesn't have sugar, oil, and cocoa powder in their house?

Chocolate Goodness Exfoliating/Moisturizing Wash (taken from elleandblair.com)

-1/2 C. sugar

-1/2 C. olive oil

-1/4 C. cocoa powder (unsweetened)

-1/2 C. brown sugar (packed)

Mix it all in a bowl and put in a jar. It can last for 2-3 weeks. Smells so yummy!!!

3) Acne Wash

Oh gosh, there's so many acne products out there. There's cleanser, exfoliating, for sensitive skin, etc. And if you're like me, you're tried a ton of products. But my favorite (and long lasting) product is from Love Nature NYC. I got a bar of soap from them last year at a farmer's market, and it cost my $8.00 for the bar (and I got three free samples! everyone loves free stuff!) and it's still not even half-way gone! Seriously, get it. You can find it on etsy.com: http://www.etsy.com/listing/74810324/tea-tree-soap-bar-handmade-soap-all

Bottom Line: Just get a bar of soap! You don't need to waste your money on stuff that doesn't last long. And plus, our Earth doesn't need to be filled with more plastic bottles that no one seems to recycle (I'm an eco-freak, so...). 'Kay?

Welcome to Needles and Bread!

If there was a way to merge blogs, I would totally do that. My other blog was getting boring, so I wanted to change the domain and make it all cool and stuff, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO, I'm a technologically unadvanced teenager (rare, I know. we're going extinct...) and can't find that stupid bar that lets you change the blog's domain and everything, so I have no choice but to create a new blog. But I did ask for a domain to make all cool and stuff, and just like making a painting, you can't start a new painting on a used canvas!! Hah, that was a good analogy... Just like that guy who came to talk about how his son commited suicide back in 2003, he said that his art teacher told him, "You can make an ink blot into a butterfly". I love that quote it's so touching!!!

As you can tell, I go on rants and tangents. A lot. So that is a bit of what to expect here, other than you know, needles, and bread. Bread is delicious. Using needles to make pretty things is fun... Just like this Coach bag, I will make a fortune with my bare hands! (Except, I'm not gonna use other people from third-world countries getting paid barely anything for back-breaking work, but that's besides the point I was trying to make... And I'll need lots of needles to make this bag... Okay I'll shut up now...)

Keep Killing!... Time! Yeah :)
