This photo was taken from www.mountainroseherbs.com. This is the website where we order all of our coconut oil, our glass bottles for extract and many of our bulk herbs. Go there and get you some coconut oil!These are three of the most necessary items to have in your home. These three things clean, condition, can clear up a baby's bottom & can unstop drains...how is that for bang for your buck??
Baking Soda
Not only is this fine white powder a deodorizer and teeth whitener, when powered with vinegar it cleans & unclogs drains.
• In fact if you put ½ cup of baking soda (mixed with a splash of water) down your drain and follow with ½ cup of vinegar, it will keep your drains nice and clear.
• If you have a little nephew that comes over and draws pretty pictures with permanent marker all over your wood, then couple baking soda with toothpaste, scrub on, wash off and stare with amazement. But don’t get too excited and clean the whole play kitchen ( I hyper focused just a touch here)
Vinegar
• One of the most natural cleansers for your kitchen and bathroom is straight vinegar with water. I added about 5 drops of cinnamon essential oil to cut the smell. (Essential oils are also something to keep on hand, but more about those later).
• This can also be used in a Downy ball as the fabric softener….your clothes will not smell like vinegar, they smell fresh.
• This can also be used as a rinse for your hair. Come on all you long haired ladies, give it a try. It cleans SO well and make your hair soft, shiny, and smooth….well I have curly hair so lets just say it made it smoothER.
• As stated above, when used with baking soda it keeps those drains clean.
• Use it in the dishwasher as the rinse aid….so great!
Coconut Oil - purchase from http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/
• This is by far my favorite kitchen staple! It is know for building immunity as well as weight loss! I cook my eggs in it, I fry my chicken in it, I fry pancake mix in it and add powder sugar, I add it to my melting white chocolate pieces when making baked goodies….it is just that something extra!
• This is also GREAT for conditioning hair. If our hair is a tad fuzzy I just rub a little (key word, little) but through the ends and voila!
• This is also so great for BABY BUTT RASH!! Seriously with an investment like we have of cloth diapers, you CANNOT use products like desitin or other store brand rash cream. It repels water and stays on the diaper. But whether or not you use cloth diapers, coconut oil will clear up that baby’s rash in a hurry. I lather it on Wyatt everytime he gets a little rash and it has cleared up by morning.
Not only are these all natural ingredients, they are cheaper than commercial chemicals AND they are better for your family! (and better for your wallet….did I mention that already?)
