Homemade. Making things homemade is not only more affordable; in most cases, but it also it usually a lot more earth-friendly too. In the last 5-8 years I've become more and more earth conscious. I personally feel God gave us this planet and as He states in Genesis; "we are to be stewards of the earth", and therefore, I'm am doing my best to do just that. So with that, here are 10 things you can make homemade, save money and help out our planet as well.

BATHROOM
1. Hand Soap
I recently shared on my IG account my homemade hand soap recipe. Making homemade hand soap is so easy. Plus you can make it to fit your needs/wants. For example, in the winter I usually add little extra aloe vera juice to help with the extra dryness. Also, I like to switch out my essential oil smells with the season as well.
I would also invest in a good foam hand pump. It makes this recipe work well + last a long time.
My basic recipe:
- 1/4 cup Dr. Bronner's soap
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Aloe Vera Juice
- Fill the rest with water
- optional 2-4 drops of essential oils. (I like lavender for Spring and Summer and orange or Rose Geranium for Fall/Winter. ***Make sure if you are making this soap for kids you use caution with what oils to use, I like the books "Just the Essentials" and ""Naturally Bug Free" as references for appropriate eo ages.
2. Shampoo
I have two posts on homemade Shampoo:
- Save on Shampoo has a recipe that use Dr. Bronner's soap, essential oils and a few other ingredients.
- Homemade Shampoo has a how to recipe using very basic ingredients; baking soda and water.
