Organic skincare doctor tea tree oil body wash

Normally I use an all natural bar of body soap to wash my body, but when i saw this on sale for $7.99 I couldn't pass it up.

The tea tree oil actually really helped out my ezcema. It actually completely cleared it up.  Cost wise, I think a bar of soap is better, but for the price of this, it was quite the steal.

This tea tree body wash is made by "Organic Skincare Doctor" and includes natural ingredients such as tea tree oil obviously, aloe Vera juice, Apple fruit extract, which hazel leaf extract and peppermint oil.  Like all the washes I purchase it is free from sls, artificial colors and harsh preservatives.  It so doesn't have any parabens or phthalates in them.

8.5 ounce for pure goodness!

Making Your Own Dishwashing Tablets


I have been making my own dishwashing tablets for my dishwasher for a while now.  No more chemical smell lingering in the air and it is a super cheap formula!  I absolutely love it!

You don't need many ingredients to make this formula and you most likely already have many of them in your house.

*Salt (Optional, only if you hard water)
*Vinegar
*Baking Soda
*Borax
*Essential Lemon Oil (Optional, but it smells amazing and adds antibacterial cleaning properties to your dishwasher)
*Ice Cube Tray

Mix two cups of the baking soda with an equal two cups of borax into a bowl.  Add a quarter cup of salt and a half cup of vinegar.  The mixture will harden up a little bit and clump together.  You can now add as much lemon oil to the mix as you would like.  I usually add 5-6 drops.  Make sure the dishwashing detergent  is fully mixed together.

Press a spoonful of the mix into the ice cube.  I would recommend filling them halfway full of the tablets will be too large.  Pop them out immediately, but very gently and allow them to dry for at least 12 hours before you use them.  I have tried leaving them in the ice cube tray to dry and then popped them out, but they tend to fall apart a lot easier.  It is important to be very gentle with these tabs because they are super fragile.

After the tablets are dry, put them in the soap area in your dishwasher and wash as normal.  I also add a splash of vinegar to the bottom of the dishwasher for an extra boost,  This comes to 7 cents a load!

Organic Penne

I just picked up this penne and we gave it a try last night for dinner.  It was really good!  I was amazed at how different it tasted than the regular store bought noodles.  They are made in Italy, so you know this Italian noodle has to be delicious and made with quality.  It was only a couple bucks for the box.  I was able to get a meal and a half for my family so I didn't think the price was too bad!  Feed your family organic and boost their health!
