I am crazy crazy crazy about using essential oils for making my own cleaning, beauty and medicinal products. They are powerful little suckers that also smell divine.

Vinegar is one amazing product – I use it all over the house for homemade cleaning products, cooking and even on my hair (apple cider vinegar conditioner)! As much as I love it, the smell does get to me sometimes and I’ve finally gotten around to making my own scented vinegar to take the edge [...]
When Josh from Seventh Generation contacted me to see if I wanted to try their new line of products, do you think I said no? Only if I’d been drugged!
