Creating a Homegrown and Homemade Life
If you have kids then this post is a must read. As a preschool teacher, I know the power of an ice pack. Bonked your head? Ice pack. Microscopic cut nobody can see? Ice pack. Tripped over the toy you left on the floor? Ice pack. Seriously, ice packs can heal all things when you’re three. Check out this adorable DIY boo-boo buddy for kids. It is a simple sewing project that will dry up tears for years to come.
After a long day, nothing beats a hot bath. These DIY fizzing bath salts add a little extra relaxation to that soak in the tub. It’s the perfect combination between bath salts and a bubble bath. This all natural recipe will help you feel good about the soak in the tub. No toxins to worry about, just the good stuff.
Are you looking for an all natural DIY headache balm? Essential oils make it easy to create natural remedies for minor problems such as headaches. Instead of making a roller that might leak in my pocket, I prefer a solid balm. It feels a lot safer to toss a balm in my pocket than a bottle of oil.
Is the winter cold taking a toll on your hands? Cracked knuckles and scaly skin are one of the many joys of winter. Traditional lotions and creams can cause your skin to dry out even more. That causes you to use more and in turn buy more. Smart marketing strategy, but not so great for my poor hands. Give these DIY lotion bars a try. They leave your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. I’ve included recipes for both men and women.
Looking for an easy homemade peanut brittle recipe? This is the go to recipe in my family! It comes out perfect every time. The peanuts are cooked perfectly and the brittle is buttery. This easy homemade peanut brittle makes a delicious treat or gift. Though if you give some away, you may need two batches. One for you and one for them.
