I've been experimenting with Dr. Bronner's unscented soap for the last six months. Here's what I've learned.
Best Practices:
1. Dilute with water in proportions 1/4, soap / water
2. Put the diluted soap in a foaming bottle, I use a recycled Kiss My Face "Self Foaming Liquid Soap" container.

I tried using the diluted formula as shampoo last week and I found the results less than satisfactory. I use the soap for showering and hand washing.

Sighhhh. I'm still waiting for someone to offer a stainless steel water bottle with nice design AND with a wide opening so that you can clean it without special equipment.
The fancy secret material inside Sigg bottles seems over the top to me and I don't like using containers with materials that are secret. I do like that Earth's Lust offers staight up stainless steel but again I see the hard to clean opening. Klean Kanteen offers the wide top but no fun colors. Hey Earth's Lust, why not offer a wide top and a small top option? Clean Kanteen is what I currently own but I would so love for them to update with some color and design options.

What about some celebrated architects drafting some housing plans and selling those for a discounted rate so that those with less financial means but still having an appreciation for architecture can live in housing that they can love? This could be like model housing for the masses but without the prefab part. Do any celebrated architects already do this?

I would love to see a flip sign displayed underneath each painting at the Bad Art Museum. Participants could flip the sign to read "good art" on one side or "bad art" on the other side as so compelled. You know, the kind of sign like they have on store front windows that say opened/ closed.
