I only use soap/shampoo when showering 1x/month. I've got longer hair than most women and work outside and my fiancée has never said I smelled (I asked her constantly for the first year). My skin is in the same shape as before doing this routine. The only reason I do it monthly is because I enjoy the feeling of my hair when I use shampoo on it.

We also grow our own loofa, and I'd like to replumb our house for a Grey water system, but I'm unsure about doing it since we'll have mixed kids and I'm unsure about their ability to adhere to my routine or finding biodegradable soaps for their skin/scalp

also, castile soap, made from potassium hydroxide and olive oil is nice, add a little tallow or coconut to give it some froth... just make it a rule, if it's toxic waste, you don't want it on your body

seriously, i am not really that keen on using these detergents either... but idk if you have used Dr Bronners in recent years, it is NOT the soap i first used 18 years ago, not at all, it's total trash now

Yeah, it's the only reason I started a farm. I'm not carnivore, but I diet wise I'd ideally onky eat meat plus foods that are in season and grown locally. And then stuff we can ourselves.

But it's definitely hard to accomplish.
