Look, I get it…who has the time to be making things that take forever and a day from start to finish.

I know I don’t have the time, and I am going to take a guess that you don’t either.

In my latest book, Natural Solutions for Cleaning and Wellness, I put a huge focus on creating recipes that take minutes to make and can be sourced with ingredients that you already most likely have in your home.

This concept and book have been a HUGE hit with my readers and I’d love to share some more of my easy DIY recipes with you.

Why It’s Important To Make Your Own Non-Toxic DIY Laundry Detergent

Have you looked at the label of your commercial laundry detergent lately? It’s most likely loaded with harmful chemicals. Here are just a few harmful ingredients to look out for.

These chemicals go into the fabric that you are washing and then seep into your skin when you wear it.

That’s a pretty scary thought, right? Not only can the chemicals enter your body through your skin, they also can irritate your skin.

But fear no more…I have a super simple natural solution that will have you signing to the roof top! 🙂

Takes Less Than 5 Minutes to Make…Promise!
