When I started looking into what was actually in the products we use every day I could not unsee it. Synthetic fragrances, endocrine disruptors, chemicals I couldn’t pronounce sitting in products marketed as clean and safe.
I first started replacing every product in my home one at a time. I loved the brands I was buying and their ingredients.
But wow, it was such an investment. One that was totally worth it, but I wanted to invest in my health in other ways too!! 🌟
So I started making my own. And honestly, it is easier and cheaper than I ever expected.
Here is what I currently make at home:
🌟Laundry detergent — simple, effective, and my clothes have never been cleaner.
🌟Hand soap — takes five minutes and costs a fraction of what I was spending.
🌟Dryer ball spray — a few drops of essential oil and done. No synthetic fragrance in sight.
🌟Multi purpose cleaner — vinegar, water, essential oils. Cleans everything.
🌟Hydrating face serum — this one is my favourite. My skin has never looked better.
🌟And yes — I tried dishwasher soap. That one is still a work in progress. 😂
I share this not to make anyone feel like they have to do everything perfectly. But because once you know what you are bringing into your home and onto your baby’s skin, you cannot unknow it.
Eight years of swapping. Hundreds of dollars spent on safer alternatives. And then I realized I could just make it myself for a fraction of the cost.
Start with one swap. It adds up. 💚
