I get a lot of questions about natural makeup options, and this was definitely one of the tougher things for me to find natural alternatives for. In college, I practically collected makeup, and had endless tubes and compacts of makeup that never even got half used. While there are some good natural alternatives that you [...]
Since we’ve been on the topic of homemade lotion bars the past couple of weeks, I figured I’d share the recipe for homemade deodorant bars (or homemade deodorant sticks!)

Nettle is available in both root and leaf form, and even a powdered version [...]
I’ve finally reached a point where I make all of our toiletry products by hand.

(Finally even replaced my make-up with homemade versions and more on that coming soon!) I’ve made [...]
