My homemade deodorant works pretty well! It smells great too (I used cedar and bergamot essential oils in it). And I started a Pinterest board like Laura Teahl did and saved instructions to make toothpaste. I like the idea of the tabs, but I already own all of the ingredients for paste, so I'm going to probably go that route instead.

Yesterday I planted green onion, potatoes, and celery from scraps. I've done it before and had temporary success, but hopefully this time I can make it last.

REFLECTION QUESTION
Food Plant a Garden

Besides having access to fresh herbs and vegetables, what benefits will you see from growing your own garden?

Angie Steiner 7/11/2019 10:25 AM

More food for free!

  Jen, I will take the free therapy gladly!
  And Laura, I do love the idea of being a little bit more self-sufficient.

  I'm not sure I can honestly say my garden produces free food (my spending at Farmington Gardens argues to the contrary, lol). But it IS free therapy! ;)

  Gardening also helps connect us to the Earth and opens our eyes to the unobserved ecosystems. It also gives you the satisfaction that you can provide delicious food for yourself.

I made my own deodorant last night using a recipe from Pintrest. It is still setting up, so haven't tried it yet, but fingers crossed. If it doesn't work, sorry in advance to my coworkers... :)

I'm interested in trying toothpaste tabs. Has anyone used them? If so, any recommended brands?
