I would like to get people's recipes for homemade things, like....toothpaste, laundry detergent, shampoo/ conditioner, ect. Anything that will be healthier, cheaper, and kinder to the planet.

Or any other money saving ideas for the home.

Or just basic tips/products that have helped you along the way, with anything :)

Thank you!

I found a great website for natural exfoliants. The link is here: http://www.natural-living-for-women.com/sugar-scrubs.html
I made the "Very Easy Dry Skin Homemade Scrub" and it left my skin so smooth. To make it vegan, instead of honey you can try either agave or brown rice syrup, maybe a combination of both (:

I have been making my own detergent for over a year now. all you need is water, salt, baking soda, and liquid castille soap. It's super-easy and cheap and works great. And when you need fabric softener, all you do is add some white vinegar instead of fabric softener, and you are good to go, Here is the link to my detergent recipe: http://www.veganproductreviews.com/2010/09/diy-and-vegan-products-how-to-make-your.html
