Getting Healthy, Saving Money, and Living Well
Have your read the labels on store-bought personal care products lately?
I’m super concerned about ingredients in the food that my family eats, but when you start really looking at personal care products, the words on those labels can be even more disconcerting.
The list of “chemical nasties” that concern me, but some of the big guns are quite disconcerting.
Digestive health is a big topic these days.
People are talking about digestive enzymes, probiotics, the GAPS, SCD, gluten-free and candida diet.
Truth is, our digestive systems are a big deal and people are starting to pay attention.
Is your shampoo making you sick?
Maybe.
I’ve been thinking a lot about personal care products and the nasty chemicals in them.
Come on over to The Better Mom where I am sharing some kind of scary thoughts about hair products–
and what to do to make your hair healthier.
There’s a great giveaway too!
See you over at The Better Mom for more on Why Your Shampoo Might Be Making You Sick!

This is the final post in the “Top 10 Posts of 2012″ series.
First there was the Top 10 Recipes and then the Top 10 DIY posts.
So–what’s left?
I set out this past week to try and figure out a good homemade eye makeup remover to share with all of you.
Little did I know that I’d have my work cut out for me.
There are a bunch of recipes out there on the internet touting to be great homemade eye makeup removers — so which one was the best?
Or was there an even better option?
Bet you just can’t wait to find out, right?
I’ve been meaning to get this recipe for Homemade Salad Dressing to you all for awhile now.
Life has been crazy and things really get in the way sometimes, you know?
Anyhow, this one is a real keeper. And it’s a great homemade salad dressing for those with food allergies as well – no dairy and some substitutions that should make this work for anyone.
You know by now that I get a real kick out of MYO (Make Your Own) projects, right?
My husband says I get this little mischievous smile on my face when I figure out a way to make something that we’ve been buying (or not buying because it is just way too expensive 
), or even when I just think I’ll be able to do so.
I really feel like I am beating the system or something.
Kind of like winning a mini lottery!
Today I am going to tell you one thing that I do not make – and that is homemade laundry detergent.
Here’s why.
I know. I posted a super simple Homemade Dishwasher Rinse Aid already.
But it’s been about a year (I can’t believe it’s been that long!!) since that previous homemade rinse aid post, and I have a very important update to share with you.
And this homemade rinse aid is at least as simple, if not moreso.
Why the need for an update? And how could it be very important?
Read on. Please. You must.
If you’ve been around Whole New Mom awhile, you already know I am always trying to “Do It Yourself” (myself — ahem) or “Make My Own” of almost anything.
It’s kind of silly really.
My husband has laughed at me when I see something expensive that I think I can make myself for waaaaaay cheaper. He says I get this funny smile on my face.
Ridiculous, huh?
Read on. Maybe it’s not so ridiculous.
