Cold Water Soap Nuts Users, Rejoice

April 28, 2009

Now that we’ve switched to laundry with soap nuts, we’ll never look back, but we weren’t enjoying the extra chore of boiling tea every time we needed clean clothes (I rarely use hot water for laundry, but hot water is what draws the cleansing saponins out of the soap nuts – hence the tea for [...]

After much searching online to find a homemade “miracle” deodorant, I’ve come to the conclusion that the best-working and most natural deodorant is from Miessence in Australia. Before I came across great reviews and finally purchased Miessence deodorant, I tried all the following at-home remedies (from worst to best based on my experience):

After reading tons of positive reviews online about Moom, a natural and eco-friendly hair removal kit, I decided to take the plunge and purchase it off Amazon.com.
