You really can’t get an easier homemade recipe. It’s literally two ingredients. You add them together and wait six weeks. So it makes me wonder why on earth it costs so much for those tiny bottles of vanilla extract??

Herbal Shampoo
[ 05 Mar 2013 ]
This recipe for my favorite homemade shampoo comes from Rosemary Gladstar, an amazing herbalist, author, and educator. The herbal tea can be made from herbs that have good properties for the hair. The castile soap does the cleaning and foaming actions that we all love. The jojoba and essential oils provides nourishment and conditioning for the hair.

Homemade Toothpaste Powder
[ 05 Mar 2013 ]
I like to be really honest and upfront about the reality of homemade recipes which is why I will preface this recipe by saying that tooth powders are not for everyone. Those of you who really love your white, foamy, creamy toothpaste from the tube will not like this recipe at all! That being said, I LOVE this tooth powder!

Gluten Free Almond and Cornmeal Pancakes
[ 03 Feb 2013 ]
I have been making a lot of almond milk lately and have lots of leftover almond pulp. I feel really guilty not using it, but I have not been in the mood for baking experiments lately. Today I woke up feeling creative and decided to try making pancakes with some of the almond-milk pulp. They turned out great! You can alter this recipe if you are not gluten-free to make almond and whole wheat pancakes. See the tips below.

Homemade Tube Deodorant
[ 01 Feb 2013 ]
I have often thought that I am a major and direct contributor to the profitability of the deodorant industry. Not that I go through a ton of deodorant, but it’s just that I am perpetually buying a new one, convinced that this is going to be the miracle deodorant for me.

Homemade Furniture Oil Polish
[ 01 Feb 2013 ]
Most people are familiar with Old English Furniture Polish and Pledge aerosol spray can. They make your furniture super shiny and leave a nice lemony scent in the air. However, if you search for the ingredient list and the safety warning on products like this you might think twice about buying them again.

Homemade Glass Cleaner
[ 01 Feb 2013 ]
I did a lot of research and trials to give you my two favorite (so far) recipes for homemade glass cleaner. As usual I found a ton of very different recipes online and in books. Glass cleaner version 1 I got from Whole New Mom and version 2 is from Frugally Sustainable. My sister and I did a “glass clean off” to compare and we both seemed to work equally well. You can make whichever one you have more ingredients for.

Homemade Toilet Bowl Cleaner
[ 01 Feb 2013 ]
There are a lot of things you can use to clean your toilet ranging from store-bought blue goo in a fancy curve neck bottle to just shaking some straight baking soda. I really like this recipe for homemade toilet bowl cleaner from a great homesteading book: Do It Gorgeously. It smells amazing, deodorizes the toilet, and does a great job cleaning. (Though you still need to scrub. There is no way around that!)

Homemade Dish Soap
[ 31 Jan 2013 ]
Dish soap is one of those strangely, deeply personal household items. People get very attached to their dish soap when they find one they like. I myself am more concerned with the earth friendly aspect (first) and cost effectiveness (second). I have never gotten attached to any one brand, so the transition to homemade dish soap was pretty painless for me. This makes a great product that is a little thinner then commercial dish soap. Check the tips below to see how you can thicken it if this is a big issue for you to try homemade dish soap.

Homemade Scrubbing Powder (Bon Ami)
[ 31 Jan 2013 ]
If you use Comet or Bon Ami for cleaning around the house, you will be delighted to find that you can make your own. Scrubbing powders are great for cleaning skins, tubs, toilets, and showers. Any spot that has soap scum or other dirt build-up needs a little abrasive scrubbing action and homemade cleaning powder is the one for the job. Adding part tea tree oil as in the recipe below or using all tea tree oil can give it a disinfecting and antibacterial property.
