Everything is so pricey! Around here, we are looking for ways to save money. Here is an easy way to save a boatload of money on laundry powder. Environmentally this is the best choice: no heavy bottles (mostly water), plastic, nasty chemicals, or perfumes. Plus, you don’t have to drive to the store!
Four ingredients.
Approximately $100 in product and you get THREE years of laundry powder! Yes, that is correct, for .10 cents a load or $35 a year (365 loads) safe and effective laundry powder.
Miller Harris does not test on animals, so for this family, it’s the best option. I ordered on Amazon for $25 a pop. Pure-Castille soap on Amazon for $14 for two (you will need 6 bars for three years). Baking Soda $10 Costco.
Think of how many more yoga events you can attend with all these savings.
Ingredients
4 cups washing soda
4 cups baking soda
4 cups borax
2 grated bars of Castile Soap
In a large bowl mix all the ingredients and place in an air-tight container.

Oat Milk
With an over abundance of oats from my last coop drop, I adventured into making my first batch of organic oat milk this afternoon while simultaneously showering, doing laundry and cleaning the kitchen.
You can do this!
You're going to need:
oats
dates (or maple syrup)
sea salt
cinnamon
nut bag (don't call me that) or sive
blender
bowl
Recipe:
2 cups organic oats
6 cups water (or 7)
1 date (soften with hot water)
sprinkle of fresh ground salt
sprinkle of cinnamon
soak oats twenty minutes, place in blender with other ingredients
blend slowly and then briefly at higher speed
pour mixture into bag or sive over a large bowl.
you may need to drain a few times if you use a sive.
Enjoy!
It's creamy! I thought it would make a seriously good chocolate banana smoothie
I freeze bananas when they get too ripe.
Added a small scoop of organic cocao and ice!
It's a YES!
