MAKE YOUR OWN ANTIBACTERIAL SOFT SCRUB CLEANSER I have been so excited  about this post I could hardly wait for today to come! That is either a sign that it’s a really great idea…or that I really need to get a life! lol. Either way…I think you are going to LOVE this one! Once again, I had to ask myself…why haven’t I thought to try something like this before!?!  I really have no good answer for that.

I admit I haven't completely given up my store bought products, but by switching between them and homemade, I find I keep my skin, hair, and wallet much happier. SHAMPOO: BAKING SODA Skip the shampoo with parabens, sulfates, and toxins (your scalp absorbs these!) and instead try a paste of baking soda and water. The combination of baking soda followed by a vinegar rinse (below) is extremely clarifying and for anyone who uses styling products it's a great way to wash all that crap out. I use about a tablespoon of baking soda in a small bowl, and mix enough water to make a paste that's spreadable but not so wet that it slides out of your hair.
