I have been using herbal remedies since I was 12. Making my own teas, infusions and compresses, now I have been taking it a step above that. I have been making my own lotions, creams, balms and soaps. I have been playing around with a few simple and natural recipes of my own and they have come out great! Everything in my home has been replaced with natural non-Petroleum based product that I make with simple yet wonderfully effective ingredients. Save the petroleum product for you car not your body! I hope buy fall to have a small line of natural body product for sale. I will be starting with a personal favorite Rejuvenating Green Tea Face Cream. I need to finish designing the label and then I will be ready to post more about it!

Making your own simple and easy carpet powder
I have allergies to many fragrances and the often stronge over
powering scents of the commerical carpet powders are no exception.
There are a few that do not bother me much but they are not scents I
care for. So decided to make my own. I first tried just baking soda
and it did the same as commercial powders do. Helped absorbed odors
and even helped loosen pet hair off the carpet. Next time I wanted it
to freshen up the house a little more so I added several drops of
essential oil and shook it without mercy:) My scent of choice
pathioli, aromatharpy for the house! My next try I made a powder mix
using 2 cups baking soda and a tablespoon of corn scarch and an
essential oil(this time using a blend of mints and citris). It worked
wonderfully and it is the one I am sticking with until I find
something else to experiment with. To find the best price on baking
soda check the cleaning section where you shop first. I found a large
box at walmart for $2.10, more the twice the size of a box of carpet
powder for around the same price. There is many uses for your powder
trash cans, pet bed, cars, I also like to just sprinkle small amounts
under the sofa cushions. So there you have it easy and inexpensive 1,2
and 3 ingredient carpet powder costum fragrance and easy on the
allergies! Posted from my cell so please excuse any typos:-P
