Happy Earth Day! Want to save your health, money, and the planet all at one time? Consider making your own laundry powder!

Conventional laundry products are highly toxic and expensive. This recipe costs pennies per load and uses clean, simple ingredients!

Recipe:
👉 1/2 cup epsom salt
👉 1 1/2 cup baking soda
👉 1 1/2 cup WASHING soda (the yellow box in picture)
👉 1/4 cup sea salt
👉 20 drops essential oils of your choice (optional)

1 tablespoon for half loads; 2 tablespoons for full loads.

I put the powder directly into the drum of my front load washer and I put white vinegar in the fabric softener compartment.

And yes, even the plastic container and measuring scoop are repurposed! Reduce, reuse, recycle!

It’s perfectly normal to feel things such as worry, frustration, or overwhelm as we navigate life’s twists and turns. In fact, it’s that emotional activation that serves as a signal or catalyst for growth and change. And don’t think for a second that this process is reserved for only the Big Life Events. In fact, by practicing reflection with the most mundane “obstacles,” you can foster greater quality of life for your entire family.
