UPDATE 2: Using All Natural Homemade Shampoo

Ok so I had the worst time taking pictures this week...I think I'll have Kel take them next time... but here is one shot of what my hair looks like after almost 3 weeks. It's getting there. Still a little oily, but nothing too terrible. It's been so hot I've just been wearing it up anyways. I can't wait to be able to post the photos of it looking healthier than it did before!! PS...don't mind my bad dye job. I really need to take the time to redo it! The darker ends is because the dye hasn't worn off there yet.

The Dirty Little Secret about Deodorant...

So this post is from my other blog... http://anewlifeforusall.blogspot.com/ . I will duplicate some of the posts over to here...but please check that site out too if you are interested in reading my posts about natural products and creations! :) Source So Deodorant. We all know what it is...and I'd say probably 99% of us use it. Why? Well, originally it started off as a way to keep away the smell from sweating that was caused by dirt and bacteria. But as times changed the newest and greatest thing was added to many deodorants..... ANTIPERSPIRANT.

All Natural Homemade Toothpaste

My latest adventure in DIY Naturals...Toothpaste. Now, this isn't my favorite tasting product ever...but generally, anything with baking soda isnt very yummy. However, knowing that it is sooooo much better than the chemical crap in store bought toothpaste...helps it taste a little better. :) Have you noticed how expensive toothpaste is getting? It can be well over $4.00 a tube. And, if you buy organic or all natural toothpaste from the health food store, you're looking at closer to $10! I spent $8 on a little tiny tube of tooth gel for Abigail because I didn't want her to ever use the regular store bought junk. Did you know that Fluoride is poisonous to us? The following information is pulled from a great article that you can read here "Fluoride is a pollutant, a by-product of copper, iron and aluminum manufacturing. The problem of how to legally dispose of fluoride was solved in the 1930's when a study (funded by on...

Dealing with a second trimester miscarriage, My Story.

Our third pregnancy... In August 2016, my husband and I decided we wanted our third (and final!) baby. We did "research" on old wives tales and statistics and any kind of information we could locate about how to increase the likelihood of getting our baby boy. (Although in reality we never cared about the gender, we just thought it would be nice to end with a little boy) We read about things to eat...things not to eat...things to do...you name it, we read about it. We started preparing with ovulation testers. Within a few days, I knew it had worked. We waited a few weeks, and I took a pregnancy test. It was positive. Soon after, at exactly seven weeks pregnant, the "morning sickness" started. Which, let me tell you...Morning sickness is a phrase that really irritates me. For me, it was NOT morning sickness.
