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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I admit, I practically have a love affair for Dr B’s soap. I was hesitant to buy it at first because I am so frugally minded that paying more than a dollar or two for a soap was crazy to me. However, when I started using this wonderful stuff, I quickly realized just how amazingly […]
When it comes to making your own cleaning products, beauty products and household helpers, one thing that is often called for is liquid castile soap like Dr. Bronner’s. Usually people are shocked by the price of it and get turned away from buying it and thus, give up on doing things themselves, While it is […]
I started using Dr. Bronner’s Castile soap a few weeks ago and I am very pleased with what I have been able to make with it to replace all my cleaners. I love the variety of scents it comes in. So far, Almond is my favorite. One thing I experimented with was a “Soft Soap” […]
One of my most popular posts here on Saved By Grace has been my tutorial on how to make powdered laundry detergent. I promised a while back that I would follow up with a liquid laundry soap version and I finally was able to do it. This recipe is for the concentrated version of liquid […]
There are many recipes for homemade laundry soap online. Some help you make a “liquid” type that you cook and others are in the powder form. I used to be very hesitant to make my own things like household cleanings. Call it laziness, because I now realize it was. I used to make all sorts […]
The new year is almost here and for many people that means making a new year’s resolution or two. The problem with new year’s resolutions is, they are often hard to keep and not practical. A new year’s resolution doesn’t have tp be something elaborate or hard to be life-changing. You can simply make easy […]
You don’t have to spend a lot of money on attractive gifts which aren’t the best choice when it comes to nature because there are equally impressive (or even more impressive) gifts made in the eco-friendly surrounding. Due to that, I made a list of interesting eco-friendly gifts which will impress you and the person […]
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 […]
Today’s post is written by Lea Harrison, a Certified Aromatherapist. She discusses Fragrance Oils vs. Essential Oils. There are a lot of great things about natural oils, particularly essential oils and fragrance oils we have heard everyday. They are usually present in different health and skin care products. How can you tell the […]
When I got my instant Pot a few months ago and started using it on a regular basis almost immediately, I very quickly learned that the silicone ring on the inside of the lid responsible for the sealing that happens with the appliance picks up any and every odor. I had made the mistake of […]
When we are at home, it is much easier to be more green. It becomes such a part of our lives that we get so used to it and forget that hotels and travel destinations don’t often have the same accommodations as we do at home. This is changing, though! As more and more hotels […]
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 […]
I write a lot about health and hygiene here on Saved by Grace. Generally speaking, I like to think some of my health and hygiene related stories have advice that can be seen as timeless or old fashioned. I guess it depends on how far back you want to look. During the 19th century (the […]
