Her name is Aubrey, she has light brown hair, blue eyes and may or may not be bad in class. :)<br /><br /> I was talking to some girls from a new church group I joined on campus and we were talking about that same shampoo recipe! The girl who uses it (w/o the soap), who has beautiful hair, also said it took a couple weeks for the hair to get used to not using normal shampoo. She also uses apple cider vinegar in conditioner with 1 tbsp per cup of water.<br /><br />We also talked about using almond oil and baking soda as a face wash. Apparently it doesn't clog your pores or make your skin oily.<br />Also! (I know I'm dragging this out too long) One girl's doctor told her to put a few drops of olive oil in her ears every few days because it softens up earwax to make it easier to get out (q-tips can be dangerous).Caroline Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769970115913790763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348227215962540982.post-16547966758998569552011-11-30T10:42:31.940-06:002011-11-30T10:42:31.940-06:00I have seen the recipes for homemade laundry soap=...I have seen the recipes for homemade laundry soap==but alas we have no Walmart in the Philippines! but I did try the homemade fabric conditioner since conditioner here is rather expensive, our water is hard so even if I use laundry detergent WITH conditioner clothes still come out stiff. ANYWAY, I waited until the local store(Watsons) had HAIR conditioner, buy 1 take 1 and made of the laundry softener I had seen on PINTEREST: <br />6 cups water, 3 cups white vinegar <br />and 2 cups hair conditioner.<br />WORKS GREAT! and its about 4 times cheaper than the cheapest stuff than doesnt even smell nice and 8 times cheaper than Downy here.gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05728248681174356048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348227215962540982.post-46811011489700705622011-11-30T10:39:47.565-06:002011-11-30T10:39:47.565-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.J-beibshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06168403456862559386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348227215962540982.post-18660152351893859402011-11-27T13:31:27.909-06:002011-11-27T13:31:27.909-06:00So interesting!

Going to try your homemade shampoo, conditioner and body lotion ànd the eye make up remover! Is it hazel like in 'hazelnuts'?

When I run out, I'm toying with the idea of trying to make my own; doesn't look that hard and then you get all the coconut meat to cook with, too. I just made a new conditioner (out of eggs and got wondering about the coconut oil again). I used 10parts water, 10parts apple cider vinegar, 3parts coconut oil, 2parts lemon juice. I'll let you know how it turns out. I think I'm gonna have to try the toothpaste recipe, too. That stuff gets expensive!!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00817929953380695272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348227215962540982.post-29371223386824286802011-11-23T18:54:33.613-06:002011-11-23T18:54:33.613-06:00love the post :D

My Dr. Bronner's conditioner arrived today...<br />I'm finding it interesting how my body is adjusting to fewer chemicals. The farther I go the less tolerant my body is when I eat something less than healthy. I know this is GOOD... but I'm finding it very "odd" how my body is more quickly rejecting food with chemicals.Micahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14755286980571567803noreply@blogger.com
