All the recipes you"ll ever need to make your own household cleaning supplies, cosmetics, soaps, laundry detergent, infant care items, personal care, etc. How tips for going green started….in the early 1990"s my daughter"s class was having an Earth Day project and she wanted our family to start recycling. It was a bit of a pain since back then they didn"t pick up the recycling at your curb like they do now. We set up 3 bins, 1 for paper, 1 for plastic, and 1 for cans. When the bins were full the whole family would take a trip out to the recycling center. About the same time I started having health issues. I was diagnosed with Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, Rheumatoid Arthritis and few other autoimmune diseases. I quit using any products with anything that I couldn"t pronounce in it. The good news is that I found ways to make all sorts of household items, personal care items, and a variety of things for personal and home use. Not only were things healthy for myself and my family, but the savings on my homemade items were incredible, and when you are raising 4 children that is a major bonus!
