Almost there, but while we wait....


So Jay mudded and mudded some more this past weekend. I can't tell the difference between coats, so a  photo sure isn't going to show you anything either. Therefore, here are some photos of our new garbage can spot on the other side of the garage that we built together today. We did this while waiting for the mud to dry.

toothsoap....and other things.

So I made my own toothsoap. With my hypothyroidism, excess fluoride might not be such a great idea.
Tom's toothpaste is ridiculously expensive, and I had all the ingredients to make toothsoap. First impression- it's soapy. Go figure. Not minty enough either, but my teeth feel clean. So, here is what I did:
I mixed 4 tablespoons of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of baking soda, and 2 tablespoons of Dr. Bronner's peppermint castile soap. Then added a few drops of peppermint essential oil. Just dip brush and use.

Next time, less soap.
Stay tuned for my adventures in deodorant, laundry detergent, and dishwasher detergent.
