Homemade shaving cream

Today I'm giving you some tips to make your own shaving cream. Yes your own and its so simple to make! Personally I think it works better than the store bought cans and it moisturizes your legs more. All you need is 1 empty bottle and 4 mixtures.

1 cup conditioner
1 cup shampoo
5 tsp of baby oil
a 2 fl bottle of hand lotion ( i use that bath in body works travel size bottles) 
i usually get tons for Christmas from my husbands grand mother

This mixture will last about 4 months! yes 4 months how awesome is that?
You must put the mixtures in order or it will not work as well


1. First take the empty bottle in the cup of conditioner in 
2. next the cup of shampoo
3. 5 tsp of baby oil
4. the 2 fl of baby lotion
5. let it sit for an hour, then shake

*note if the mixture starts to get runny later on just shake to make it the right mixture :)

homemade teeth whitener

Okay so America has been on this whole making your teeth whiter for awhile now! Dentist today charge what like anywhere from $200 to $500 a pop to whiten your teeth for you? Honestly how many people have that kind of money to blow on making your teeth that beautiful pearly white color all the stars and starlets have today? I cant drop that kind of cash on making my teeth that beautiful white! Almost everyone some kind of coffee drinks, hello starbucks is HUGE,  almost everyone loves soda and teas . Furthermore almost everyone has that yellowish color teeth we all hate. Then the whole white strips, tooth paste and whiting mouthwashes were big for us little people that cant afford going to get our teeth whiteners. I myself  fell into the whole buying the 3d white toothpaste but hated forking over $3.15 that's without taxes i might add  for 1 tube of tooth paste. To me that was a little extreme and with two children under two i was getting to the point that my family just couldn't afford that on toothpaste with all the other expenses we had. One day i started reading the the back of the tooth paste tub and found out the two main mixtures in the paste were baking soda and hydrogen peroxide! I was like seriously I can buy both products for less than that! So i made my own mixture and got better results than i did with the actual 3d white toothpaste. I was shocked that my teeth were so white after a few weeks. So i here is my little recipe for the homemade teeth whitener.

Step 1;1/2 tsp baking soda
Step 2.1/2 tsp hydrogen peroxide 1/2 of tooth paste mixed
Step 3: (any type of tooth paste will work) I buy what's on sale or whatever I have a coupon for)
also with couponing you can pretty much score free toothpaste. well not the 3d white but the other kinds
Step 4: Mix all together Next brush your teeth for 2 minutes brush everyday in mixture till you reach your goal of white.

IMPORTANT NOTE;
 After you reach your goal only use this mixture TWICE a month!

Make your own fabric softener



Fabric softer
 Yes make your own fabric softener, I posted this a few days ago on my Facebook and all my friends where in shock! They were like. Seriously you made your own? Does it work? The answer was yes and the best part is you can pick your own smell! Score and am all most sure every momma has the stuff I make it already! What you'll need

(2) cups of hair conditioner (3) cups of distilled white vinegar
(6) cups boiling water
(1) Mixing utensil
(1) Bucket/Pail/Pot
(1) Empty Bottle (I used an clean gallon of milk container)

Step 1: Pour 6 cups of boiling water in pan or Paul whichever you prefer
Step 2: Add the 2 cups of hair conditioner ( I used one 12 oz bottle then about 3/4 of another) also I usually get the conditioner when it's on sale like 2/$5 so I can use two coupons with my transaction to get it even cheaper!
Step 3: Pour in the 3 cups of distilled white vinegar ( make its the distilled white only) You'll noticed that it might be clumpy not to worry it will go away! This whole process took me about 4 minutes! My favorite part …. I get to make the scent myself, and with the million different scents of conditioner out there, a million different scents to be used!

DIY frozen yogurt dots

Okay so I found this super cool do it yourself yogurt bits frozen so there a little different since frozen but are basically like the gerber yogurt dots. Plus if you have a teething baby they will love you for this :) As a mommy I'm sure your little ones love those gerber yogurt dots. I use to buy them,I was lucky if I got then on sale for 2/$4. To me that's pricey for yogurt when you can buy a cup of it from anywhere from $.30 to $.60 depending on where you live! Okay so basically all you need is: 1 cookie pan 1 yogurt any favor my children love blueberry and strawberry 1 ziplock bag Step 1: is pour all of you choice of yogurt into the ziplock bag Step 2: cut a small hole in the ziplock bag! (not too big now the goal is to make ting dots Step 3: take the ziplock and place the size dots you want onto cookie sheet Step 4: after all the yogurt is gone and placed on the cookie sheet place in freezer for 1 hour Step 5: after an hour enjoy
