cool FB page [View all]

Hey - I found a page that has some frugal aspects, but is also about getting the chemicals out of your life. Natural cleaners, stuff like. There is some particular references to some oils they use, but it's not really about that, but still good information about natural remedies. Most of which are economical, too!

Some posts on there:

We finally ran out of laundry detergent so that I could use the container to make my own! I just made 2 gallons with about 5 dollars in ingredients and they are all natural and super safe. I'll let you know how it turns out!


This bug spray works great on ants, mosquitos and spiders! It also smells amazing!!


Baking soda is one of my favorite things. I briefly considered naming this page "the miracles of baking soda" but thought Clean Living sounded better.


Switching from regular shampoo to using baking soda was the first major step I took in "cleaning" my life.
