@drsharon - sadly, though I should "know better," I think I'm a stubborn mule in a way and have hesitated to get rid of every single product with even mild fragrance in my house.

I guess this is cause 1) it's expensive to just throw stuff away that you bought, 2) my brain doesn't want to admit that I'm "that allergic" and 3) I know going to only unfragranced products severely limits my choices and likely ups my costs, too.

@lisalucier I’m the same way! In the end though, it ends up cheaper as well as healthier. I use baking soda or vinegar or borax for cleaning, and making my own cream is much better and much cheaper. The shampoo is more expensive- I wonder if anyone has made their own and could share their thoughts on that.
