When it comes to DIY and getting crafty, I'll try just about anything! And after over a decade of creating recipes, I've tried a lot of things. I'm very often impressed with how effective they worked as a beauty product or home remedy. But there are some recipes & tips that are stand out super stars!
Here are the DIY recipes, home remedies, & tips that shocked & impressed me most:
- Oil pulling is basically using coconut oil as mouthwash, swishing for 5-20 minutes, and then spitting out.
- Within a week of starting this habit:
- my skin was clearer
- I was less bloated
- my teeth were less sensitive
- Anytime I stop doing this for a bit and start it back up, I wonder why I ever quit! It makes such a difference in my skin, digestion, and teeth!
- BONUS: Keep these oil pulling chews in your fridge to make it super easy to be consistent!
- Coconut oil is one of my favorite deep conditioners. But it's a pain to get out of my hair. I read that an egg wash gets it out. So I tried it. WOWZER! It worked!
- The egg wash cuts through the oil, clarifies my hair, and adds proteins & vitamins.
- When I first heard about activated charcoal, I thought, "you're telling me that this capsule full of ground up charcoal and coconut shells fixes all your tummy issues?? No way."
- I skeptically tried it. And it works!! For all things tummy, including hangovers!
- This is a big part of my holistic toolbox. With these supplies on hand, my mommy skills are almost invincible!
- It's cheap. It's easy. And it's effective!
- Apple Cider Vinegar reduces acne, reduces pore size, evens skin tone, and balances pH levels.
- There are ways you can support blood flow, circulation, and healthy veins at home to prevent & reduce varicose veins. And this body butter does that!
- I used to have sensitive teeth. I used to use a maximum strength sensitive toothpaste. I used to use a numbing gel I got from my dentist everyday. And I STILL had sensitive teeth & gums.
- And then I started making DIY, nontoxic, homemade toothpaste. My sensitive teeth are a thing of the past.
