Homemade Laundry Detergent {Powder Recipe}

By Jen Sharpin 18 Comments

Did you know that the laundry detergent you are using may be loaded with chemicals? Chemicals which can (and do) cause many illnesses and diseases. I didn’t. I really didn’t.  There are many ingredients in laundry detergents that are known carcinogens and the manufacturers are NOT even required to list them on the package!  In America NOTHING (and I mean NOTHING) has to be…

Essential Oils for Asthma | The Easy Homestead

I never really understood asthma…until Beau (my husband) had an asthma attack right in front of me. I was terrified.  See, he had childhood asthma.
