Don’t you just love homemade lotion? You rub oils into your skin that not only hydrate, but nourish, and even though you can feel good about rubbing all the lotion you want into your skin, you really don’t need to use as much. I usually tend to use a combination of homemade baby lotion for my face, Keep Reading

One of my favorite homemade skin care recipes ever is baking soda face wash. Love, love, love it! But it’s not something I can use every day. Every week yes, every day, no. When I was a teenager, I use to wash my face with Dawn dish soap. I’m not kidding. Obviously, I’ve learned the error of my Keep Reading

If you’ve been on Pinterest, or any number of other social for a while, you’ve probably seen “no ‘poo” methods pop up here and there. I once went for an entire month washing my hair with nothing but baking soda and vinegar, and unfortunately, couldn’t seem to get rid of the build up on my scalp Keep Reading

I was standing there over the stove, cutting roasted chicken for the kids’ dinner. NBD, right? Right. Until all out of nowhere, my left trap and neck muscle started cramping hard, and I suddenly had a kink in my neck like you wouldn’t believe.

If my time in Florida last month taught me anything, it's that you never truly know how just how burned you Keep Reading

I love homemade sugar scrub. For someone who doesn’t take baths, that may sound crazy (hey don’t look like that, I take showers. :P), but in my opinion, exfoliation is highly underrated (if that’s possible). I mean, aside from the fact that it’s ridiculously easy to make, Sugar scrub is the best Keep Reading

Moving away from antiperspirants is kind of a big lifestyle change. That may sound like a funny way to put it, but it’s true if you think about it.  So let’s talk about why you would want to do something so potentially gross.  Perspiring (sweating), is one of the body’s most effective ways of Keep Reading

Ever since we moved to Texas, I've had the worst time with dandruff. Is it the dry weather? Is it some sort of Texan curse? I don't know, but I do know that it stinks, and I've tried a lot of things to make. it. stop.    I've also stayed home a lot because well... you know. It can be horrible Keep Reading

Have you ever thought about making your own bath, body, and cleaning products - you know, living a little healthier - only to be dissuaded by the sheer number of recipes that you’d have to master?  I mean, imagine it: you start with shampoo, then there’s conditioner, then of course body wash and Keep Reading
