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 […]
How to Make Felt Succulents (Plus, Where to Buy Rad Unique Gifts for Mother’s Day!)
I have admired the site Uncommon Goods for a while. I was so excited when they asked to work with me to help show my readers where to find the raddest mother’s day gifts. Uncommon Goods is a site that really encompasses all that I personally stand for. They believe in paying fair wages, working […]
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 […]
10 Best Ways to Use Bentonite Clay
A while back, I bought some Bentonite clay because I had heard of the good benefits of using it. The trouble was, I had no idea what I was supposed to do with it and it quickly got shoved into my closet with other impulse buys I make. I like to call this spot in […]
18 Ways to Upcycle and Reuse Tights and Leggings
Leggings and Tights; for some, they are the same thing, for others, they are different. No matter which team you belong on for this argument, we can all agree that they wear out, stretch out and get rips in them for both adults and kids and it seems like such a waste to just throw […]
DIY Congestion Chest Rub
I absolutely love coconut oil. It is so incredibly useful for just about anything from cooking to homeopathy. I always have a jar of it around for this reason. So, when my husband started coming down with a cold last month, I knew I had to create something quickly to help him find some relief. […]
DIY Old Fashioned Christmas Decorations
This year, my husband and I decided to go back to making things simpler at Christmas. In fact, we didn’t even buy a full sized tree, but a Norfolk Island Pine that is in a pot so we can care for it year round. We looked high and low for some vintage looking stockings to […]
DIY Gemstone Soap Amethyst
I was so excited when I first saw these gemstone soaps available at my local farmer’s market a few weeks back. Being a rock hound, and a person who loves DIY projects, I decided to embark on trying to make them myself. The first attempt was a failure as I just swirled some color in […]
DIY: How to Restore Your Wood Cutting Boards
I don’t know about you, but I love a new wood cutting board. That first time you use it is quite an experience, but it soon starts to look dull, lifeless. Before you know it, it has started to loose its luster and lack it’s charm. You can bring life back to your cutting boards […]
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 […]
Sandalwood Lemongrass DIY Beard Balm
For a couple of years, my husband grew a beard. He wasn’t logger status because he kept it trimmed, but he definitely enjoyed it when he had it. One day he just got tired of it and cut it into his signature goatee that I had always known on him. I had a love/hate […]
