Today was the first day at the market! It was good weather , and I did well for the first day. If you are in Logan, every Saturday at Merlin Olsen Park there is the Gardeners Market , come and enjoy! It's were I'll be every Saturday I sell 20% Shae butter soap, Shae helps to not dry your skin out as much as other soaps (only $2.50 for a 4oz bar). Also, Laundry soap. For Laundry soap: 3 C. Borax 2 C. Soda Wash 2 C. Baking Soda 2 C. Laundry bar grated up Mix all in a bucket, it does about 90 loads of laundry use 1/8 c. - 1/4 c. per load. The baking soda should help soften your water but if you want to add oxi clean, that should help if your clothes are dingy. I know there are a lot of different ways to make laundry soap (and you can use my bars in all of them) but this is what I use and like. Let me know how you like it! You can find all this stuff were they sell laundry detergent at the store, the soda wash I haven't found at Wal -Mart but you can find it at Smith'
There are a few things you can use to brush your teeth. I really like plain baking powder. I've also used aloe gel (the 100% stuff, not the green kind you put on a sunburn). In the 19th century they used tooth powder that was mint flavored. So I was thinking there had to be a way to flavor baking powder with mint... Crushed mint leaves? Anyway, to make the paste, I put some baking powder in my hand and wet my toothbrush and dab it in the powder. It's also a gentle abrasive for whitening. :-) Not much of a recipe, but I thought I'd pass it on!
