Tropical Traditions Powdered Laundry Detergent I am very particular about laundry detergent around our house. We have sensitive skin, and we’re sensitive to strong smells. I admit that I was a bit hesitant to try out the powdered laundry detergent from Tropical Traditions even though it stated that it was free from dyes, perfumes, fillers or phosphates. I prefer to use non-toxic laundry detergents, and this fit the bill. I decided to give it a try.

I’m finally getting the last installment of the Sea World pictures up. I’m sure I’ll have a few random animal pictures to share later, but for now, this wraps up the trip.
