Your day in pictures:
Brushed my teeth with homemade toothpaste.
It's brown from vanilla extract |
Stopped by the local art festival
Music, art, sand sculpture, and treats. Oh, my! |
Ginger glazed mahi mahi |
And it was easy! |
I promise it works! Recipe. |
This does too! Recipe. |
A little about my homemade stuff:
The dish and laundry detergent use two of the same ingredients so when you have to buy a big box of borax and washing soda for one, know that you can use them also for the other product. I ordered all of my ingredients online except for the citric acid for the dish detergent, cause that's what I do, but I think you can get all of them in a super market.
Oh and my toothpaste. After perusing a bunch of recipes that require a bunch of stuff I didn't want to bother with buying I decided to make my own recipe which is about 2 Tbsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp Splenda (or other non-sugar sweetener), and the amount of your-choice-of-flavor extract that will make it paste-y. I was using peppermint, which was good, and only switched to vanilla because I didn't have any peppermint left.

I remember making toothpaste in I think 3rd grade as part of "dental health week". It was just baking soda and water, so it was not very good tasting, and I recall my mother throwing out the baggie of whitish paste as soon as I got home that day
