I love essential oils and one of my favorite is lavender. While essential oils are great, they are also kind of spendy and need to be diluted with a carrier oil. They are a process to make as well, and most people don’t have the time, patience or equipment to make them at home. […]

3 Ingredient DIY Baking Soda Face Scrub
When baking soda started popping up in almost every face cleaner out there recently, I became curious about it since it’s a common household thing and very frugal. I discovered that since baking soda is a base (as in non-acidic), it can be very gentle on your skin, so it can be a great […]

The mason jar. Originally designed to be a place to store vegetables and fruit through the winter in a canning process, it is now the center of crafters everywhere. There really is so much you can do with a mason jar. From tea light candle holders to gifts in a jar, I have compiled a […]
Green Alternatives to Traditional Cleaners
Today’s article is from Guest Writer, Ashley Winters. Let’s face it; many chemicals are destroying the world we live in, drastically affecting our health, and for many of us, they cause allergies, too. The more we change to greener alternatives, the better our world becomes. It all starts with one person. When it comes […]

No Sew Tote from a T Shirt
I love to do crafts. The one thing I will admit, though, I never did really learn how to sew properly. So, although I love looking at all the fun projects I could sew on Pinterest, I knew that it was out of the question along with crocheting or knitting as those are also two […]
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bath Bombs
You guys! I am so excited to bring you these bath bombs. These were a very happy accident as Bob Ross would probably say. I was actually trying to make a chocolate fudge round bath bomb and it was not working out at all. The first time I tried making them, my round bombs were […]

DIY Chocolate Lavender Fizzy Bath Powder
I have this lip balm I bought at the local co-op that is an intriguing flavor. It is chocolate lavender lip balm from Dagoba. At first, I thought this would be a scent I would not enjoy, but oddly enough not only do I enjoy it, but its mellow as well and can be great […]
Yes! You Should Do a Pit Detox- Here’s How
A couple of years ago, I came up with a recipe for Almond Scented Deodorant. When I first tried it, I found I was so smelly. This was because I was not used to detoxing my under arms. With a deodorant, you are merely masking the scent of your body odor. And anti-antiperspirant works […]
DIYs to Make with Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal is everywhere these days. It used to just be used for detoxing the inside, (its’ actually what they put in your stomach in the ER in cases of poisoning) but now, people are seeing that it can have benefits for detoxing skin and can be used for whole body care. I discovered activated […]
DIY Citrus Soap Jellies
The moment I saw the concept of Lush’s Soap Shower Jelly on social media, I knew I needed some. I never did get a chance to get any because I am not that great at ordering stuff online. I’m still a bit old school in that realm as I prefer to buy certain things in […]
Hemp and Milk Bath Bombs
I wasn’t sure if I could authentically call these bath bombs as they have nothing in them that will fizz. The fizz is something most people expect with bath bombs, after all. However, since they are something round you put in a bath in order to enhance it, I decided the name was still fitting. […]

DIY Easy Mini Goat’s Milk Charcoal Detox Soap
I love to use activated charcoal in all kinds of ways here at my home. I bought some activated charcoal tablets over a year ago and I have all kinds of ways I like to use them that don’t include taking them internally, although I could. I find that buying them this way helps me […]
DIY Fizzing Peppermint Toilet Powder
No one really enjoys cleaning the toilet. I know I don’t. It’s even more fun when men or boys live in your home. You probably know what I’m talking about so I will just leave it at that. In any case, I cant stand the harsh commercial cleaners available on the market. They often […]
