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.

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 problem of how to legally dispose of fluoride was solved in the 1930's when a study (funded by on...

MEDICATION: Meant to "heal" me....but might be making me "feel" worse.....

I know I haven't written anything in FOREVER. To be honest, life just got in the way. Kids, family, projects, my health....everything. But as soon as I opened the mail this evening, I knew I needed to post something about this....and a little Facebook rant was just not enough. Every month I get this lovely statement in the mail from my Health Insurance company showing how much was paid out by my primary and secondary insurances for my prescriptions each month....... Side Note: I am absolutely not some pill happy person. I HATE taking medication. And what's worse, none of mine are easy little pills....they're all injections. Needles. God awful jabbing little things that I have to stick into my hips, tummy, and thighs. Hoping I don't hit a vein and bleed like a stuck pig or swell up like crazy....or get a bruise like someone has beaten me. I have had so many people ask me "Well, you take xyz for fatigue right?" or "you know about xyz f...

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. I am certain that the majority of people purchase their Antiperspirant Deodorants with out even giving a seconds thought to what they are putting on their body and what this product is actually doing to them. Let's take a look at the ingredients list on the back of a deodorant container... So the main ingredient I want to talk about just so happens to be the #1 Active Ingredient in an...
