DIY Shampoo


You've seen me mention Castile soap in some other posts of mine, you will probably see it in even more, this stuff is AMAZING!!!!

You can make your own shampoo with no harsh chemicals that will actually be healthier for your hair, weather you have oily, dry or normal and it will help repair it from the damage caused over the years.

When I make mine I go to Dollar Tree and buy a bottle of some form of shampoo or a bottle with a cap like that. I then come home and dump it out, I'm only out $1

What you will need besides the bottle is:
1/4c coconut milk
1/4c castile soap
20 drops of essential oils (you chose your scent)
1tsp avocado or jojoba oil

Depending on the size of your bottle you may have to double or triple the recipe.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself.  I just don't like what follows... winter!  However I love walking in my home and smelling  the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in  of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put  in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle  or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep  adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you  will not have to keep adding water and you can keep  it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot?  What do you normal...
