Lots of cool stuff here :) I should probably update on my Glen Miller stuff -- all tapes and I don't seem to remember to play those as often as the CDs. My mom and I used to watch Sunday Afternoon at the Pictures together, so I got my exposure to big band then.
The couch to 5k looks interesting...
On the cleansing products, sounds like maybe they changed the recipe :( I'm back to baking soda and cider vinegar for hair washing and conditioning. Gentle enough to use daily. We do pre-mixed in water so it's all set for taking a shower, and keep them in old shampoo bottles for easy dispensing. Up here we boil the water first (leftover tea water works great), because we have hard water.
I don't really have a particular suggestion on hand/body soap, aside from Dove. I tried some local soap makers, found ones that work, and buy from them.
On clothes detergent we're using 7th Gen unscented. I just found it in the new cardboard containers too, I think at a Big Y. They use a lot of recycled plastic in their containers anyway, but the new container uses even less plastic (lining), and the paper is post-consumer stuff. But most importantly, my clothes don't make me itch. Years ago I used Arm & Hammer, but even their unscented stuff suddenly started bothering me.
