Recycle! Recycle! Recycle!

KFC's coleslaw container specifically says "reusable."
I love to find another use for an empty bottle, jar or container, especially if it's glass or has an interesting shape or color.  I blame Tupperware and the 80's for making empty spaghetti bottles beneath us all.  Now that we are more conscious of the environment and the recession is kicking butt we should think twice before throwing things away.

Recycling containers are perfect for our homemade hair brews.  Many women like to mist their hair with a mixture of oils, water and herbs and spray bottles can be found everywhere for sale but why buy a dinky bottle with only one spray option when you have a power mister sitting on a shelf (or in the trash)?

This is the BEST spray bottle I ever had.  I've had it so long I can't remember what the product was that came in it.  It holds a lot of water and has nice spray power.  It's also useful as a spray bottle for pressing wrinkles.  Cost?  Zero!
Many containers can be cleaned and recycled for another use.
I made a couple of batches of "rosemary juice" for use in my hair growth experiment and used an empty baby oil bottle and a water bottle.
