It is a product that is meant to reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, dry skin, uneven skin tone, and aging skin.

The Things I Carry: Bambaw Bamboo Cutlery Set

Bamboo is awesome. For those of you who don’t know, I’ve been striving to live a greener and more minimal lifestyle.

There are plenty out there such as toothbrushes, razors, and even stockings that are made out of bamboo (or mostly bamboo) which are better alternatives to what’s out there.
