How to Extend the Life of Your Shampoo

Do you ever feel guilty buying that overpriced (but still somehow containing harmful preservatives) organic shampoos that only last 1-2 months? In a large mason jar, pour in shampoo, liquid castile soap, water, and a drop of argan oil until the shampoo has the consistency of egg whites--or comfortably watered down shampoo. Lol.

Homemade Moisturizer

My skin tends to be dry most times of the year. I don't see a point in spending $7-50 on 'moisturizers' that contain drying ingredients such as alcohol. Don't get me started on dyes, fragrances, or parabens. First you take a clean glass jar such as an upcycled baby food jar, add a tablespoon of coconut oil, a couple drops of the following oils: olive, argan, apricot seed, evening primrose, and jojoba. Mix in some aloe vera gel for good measure.
