Make Your Own Organic Products
It’s easy to make your own organic products to save money! One suggestion that has saved me some cash is to utilize organic oils such as avocado, jojoba, coconut, hazelnut, walnut, palm, thyme and olive oil for multiple purposes. You can utilize oils on your hair and skin and also cook with them (just buy food grade). I also like to use jojoba oil as a base to make my own natural vanilla perfume. You just add a few drops of vanilla to about two tablespoons of jojoba, mix it up and you are all set! Also, try getting some thyme oil and using it around your house to fight germs! A little goes a long way!
