My husband finally broke down and got a new car. Well, it’s a lightly used car…and I insisted. The thing is, his lovely 1995 Toyota Corolla was so rusted that when he went to get a shock replaced (he couldn’t budge it himself… and we found out why), our friend said that he was not...

I love my spray deodorant recipe. It’s just that simple. It’s cheap, made with great ingredients, I can make it smell however I like, and it works.

I started making my own homemade cleaning products with disinfectant essential oil blends in order...
In my search to do all things natural, this is a topic I thought needed to be addressed. There are some good products out there that are not as toxic as you may believe, but I wanted a completely natural dandruff remedy and something that’s even healthy! I’ve since tried a few methods and talked...
