I mean, imagine it: you start with shampoo, then there’s conditioner, then of course body wash and Keep Reading
Bath and Body
I absolutely love to DIY bath and body products for myself, my husband and my kiddos. If you have been around the blog for a while, you know that I don’t like having toxic stuff in my home and that goes double for body products that we use! I only want my family exposed to products that are healthy for us.
I have a lot of DIY recipes for bath and body products, including homemade makeup remover wipes, homemade summer deodorant, oatmeal lavender goat milk soap, peppermint toothpaste, Shea butter lotion, homemade face wash and so many more! The list of my homemade body products goes on and on.
Almost any bath product you love can be made at home with non-toxic ingredients. One of the best things about DIY-ing your favorite products is that you can choose the scents you use! You can also decide what kind of ingredients to source.
Three Healthy Ways To Love Your Lips
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Burt’s Bees. All opinions are 100% mine. Our lips take a lot of abuse. Think about it: We we wash hot and cold liquids over them, scrape our food on them, they’re exposed to the weather pollutants, and the list goes on and on. And yet, they Keep Reading
How To Make Garlic Oil to Fight Earaches
I’m not a doctor, or even a certified herbalist, so I can’t give you any scientific facts, or cite studies or anything like that, but what I can tell you is that my mother use to make garlic infused oil anytime one of my siblings or I started complaining of an earache, and it worked on almost a Keep Reading

Homemade Hand Sanitizer With Essential Oils
I’ve never been huge fan of hand sanitizer. When you kill bad bacteria, you kill good bacteria along with it. It seems to me that when you kill all the bacteria around you, you never give your immune system a chance to build immunities. At the risk of looking like a redneck, country bumpkin, this Keep Reading
Baking Soda Face Wash
Ready to pamper your skin? This baking soda face wash will make you feel like you just spent the day at a spa! We all know that exfoliation is good for the skin, but sugar - and especially salt - scrub is just so abrasive. Okay, so I know it wouldn’t be exfoliation if it wasn’t abrasive, but Keep Reading
Homemade Tooth Powder
I’ve been interested in making my own toothpaste for a long time. I’m not a fan of fluoridated pastes, and Tom’s is quite expensive. Add to that, neither of those two options contain remineralizing ingredients, which, as someone with terrible, terrible teeth, is important to me. Still, making my Keep Reading
Homemade Liquid Hand Soap
Making homemade bar soap is easy. Ingredients are fairly accessible (you do usually have to order lye, but with Amazon and eBay, that’s no problem), And you only have to work with cold process soap for about ten minutes before setting it aside for three weeks to cure. Or you can make hot process Keep Reading
