Fioridelsole Awesome. Thanks for the mention. And as Ericka said, please do keep us posted on packaging updates.

Fioridelsole Glad you found Beth’s site helpful. I got into the practice of bringing my own tiny toiletry bottles with me on trips which I then refill once I’m back home so they are ready for my next trip. Let us know what your company comes up with as a solution.

Hi Beth, Terrific blog, I’m glad I found you! Although your blog about amenity products was from last fall it is timely for us. I agree about the over-use of small bottles and offered a refill program at our summer markets for our liquid soaps. We are working on a new project that has me researching alternative packaging options and I came across your blog. I added your link in my blog : http://www.fioridelsole.ca/apps/blog/
Will be back for more inspiring reads! Laura and Miranda

@Imuneekru I agree, the small bottles are convenient. I have a few that I have collected that I reuse over and over. I take them to my gym and on the road when I travel.

@Imuneekru Hi. Have you tried shampoo and conditioner bars instead of liquid shampoo? When I’m at home, I use the No Poo method (http://myplasticfreelife.com/2008/06/no-more-poo/) to wash my hair, but when I travel, I bring solid shampoo and conditioner bars with me. No worries about spilling liquid.

I have to admit, as long as most cheap hotels have not gone green, I find the travel sized shampoos incredibly convenient. If I have to fly, I don’t want to risk a giant bottle of shampoo opening in my luggage.
I find the best compromise is to take any half-used shampoos and use them up. I’m ALWAYS looking for teeny bottles for homemade beauty products. Or I can refill them with my own shampoo and take them on visits, trips, etc. That way they will never go in the landfill. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.

@BethTerry I can’t see someone adding hair remove but I can definitely seeing someone spitting or something in them. There are a lot of gross, childish people out there.
