give it a shot, you have nothing to loose!

two fun finds: 

1.Adding baking soda to your shampoo

Did you know by adding baking soda to your shampoo 2-3 times a month is good for it? Me neither! Baking Soda hair wash method is a woman's best friend when it comes to hair care. A baking soda hair wash will clean out the excess product, remove impurities, and clean your hair better then any expensive product on the market.  I gave this little anomaly a try and I was very happy with the results.

what I did:  sprinkle a dash of baking soda into your palm and mix with your shampoo. Rinse and condition as usual.  try this out a few times a month to get rid of hairspray build up!  On a complete side note...imagine my husbands reaction when he sees me heading to the shower with a bath towel and a box of baking soda! :-)  source

2. Lemonade packet

Original purpose: Quenching your thirst.
 Aha! use: Cleaning lime deposits and iron stains inside the dishwasher. Pour a packet of lemonade Kool-Aid (the only flavor that works) into the detergent cup and run the (empty) dishwasher.
 Reward: Citric acid in the mix wipes out stains; you don't have to.tried this too..it really worked.  pretty cool, huh?  source

Homemade {Strawberry} Foot Scrub

My sister came over last night and we experimented with a new homemade foot scrub.  We were a little skeptic at first...but quickly became believers! 

Ingredients:
 8 to 10 Strawberries
2 TBS of Olive Oil
1 tsp of Sea Salt or Rock Salt

Preparation
Mix all ingredients.  I used a food processor which worked great.  Otherwise you can just mush 'em up til they get to looking like this... 

 

THEN...massage into feet, rinse and pat dry.

~This foot scrub works great and my feet were so soft afterwords. I massaged it in for about 5 minutes and let it sit for another 5 minutes. I hopped in the shower to rinse it off. ~

My feet and hands {yes we did our hands while we were at it} felt AMAZING after it was done!  AND...the best part...you most likely have all the ingredients in your house!  

Let me know if you try this little recipe out!

Blessings,

Ashley

This inspiring idea came from my frugal lifestyle!
