i’m get super excited when it comes to making my own household products …
maybe it’s just the idea of making something yourself that doesn’t have to come from the store.
maybe it’s all the chemicals that i know are being left out that’s comforting …
or maybe it’s just cause it’s fun to make stuff 🙂
during the summer months i want to try out a few of the recipes that i’ve accumulated on my housekeeping board on Pinterest … i’m trying to convince my hottie hubby to get on board with me and try out the homemade deodorant …
not sure if that’s goin’ anywhere yet 🙂
here’s ten things i really really really want to make!
oh, and guys!
if you want to pin these projects
please do so from the original site
thanks. you all are the best.
after reading up on it again, learned that whether you have hard or soft water determines which ingredients you should add into the mix … i need to give it a go again with this recipe
cleaning with vinegar is something i’m slowly getting used to … but the smell, not so much
i love this site, and i’ve gotten so many great household recipes from her that really work, so i’d love to give this a try
(if you don’t like the smell of lavender, guessing you could add any essential oil scent and it work the same)
citrus peels & ice help, but this looks like it might just give it that little boost of clean
garbage disposal refreshers – savvysugar.com
we have ceramic tile counter tops … and they’re white 🙂
looking for something to give them a little shine … this might do the trick
and i’m sure it will make the kitchen smell yummy too.
greasy hair girls need dry shampoo … unless you want to wash you hair everyday
which i do want to. but i don’t. anymore. i used to. not good for my hair.
and i do use store bought dry shampoo, but you should see the warning labels on these things! i feel like i should wear a gas mask everytime i use it … so i’m looking for a natural alternative … and i have dark hair. this one’s it. 🙂
mama’s have dark circles under their eyes
it comes with the territory 🙂 this recipe looks like fun.
my girls are most excited about this one, since they don’t like toothpaste because it’s too “spicy” ? and besides the fact that toothpaste has some of the same ingredients that are found in rat poison & industrial pesticides … ? yikes
after asking mr. google if this was true … i spent a couple hours reading stuff and getting freaked out. go. google it.
aaaaaand this i need to make because my windows are really dirty …
and i think this might just be the very best recipe. like ever. 🙂
(even if it’s not i like this picture)
the best window cleaner ~ she wears many hats
i also thought it would be nice to have all these recipes i’m trying, all together in one place.
if you decide they’re keepers, jot down the ingredients and your notes,
then it will be easy access when you plan to make more.

i tuck this away in our household binder, when stuff’s running low,
i know right where to find the how-to’s 🙂
ready to try some of these with me??
if you do or already have, tell me about it in the comments …
happy making! ♥
making your house a home 
i actually use the cleaner for counters and absolutely love it!

Jaime, I love all of the ideas; I think my husband would love most of them too. He won't wear antiperspirant because of the aluminum and other ingredients. I'd love to know how the dry shampoo works out.Blessings, SusanSugarBeans.org

I'm excited to try some of these! We make our own laundry soap and love it. It works so great I don't have to buy stain remover anymore! And we use to make an all purpose cleaning spray- 1 part vinegar and 1 part water in a spray bottle. The vinegar smell goes away pretty fast after spraying it. I really should mix up some more soon!

Thanks for all the wonderful homemade goodies. Can you believe the FDA allows them to put that junk into our toothpaste? What the heck?! Should be against the law, I say. Thanks again for sharing!

Those are some fun ideas. I like the ideas for green cleaning. I don't know that I could convince the kids to use the toothpaste, though they do surprise me sometimes.

I've been meaning to try the outdoor window cleaner. The one I pinned also had jetdry, so the water sheets off the window and doesn't streak.
