Laundry Today or Naked Tomorrow- DIY Laundry Detergent

Since we moved into this house it seems as if we've accumulated 6 times as much laundry and I cant seem to understand why or how.

Now that there's more laundry, it means more loads of fun right? No! Absolutely not! It simply means more expensive detergent and very painful folding sessions.

About 10 months ago I got this crazy idea (from Pinterest) to make my own laundry detergent, mainly to cut costs, and then to see if it would actually clean. So the best recipe of them all came from One Good Thing By Jillie. It was one of the easiest versions. However mostly all of the recipes had the same basic, very cost effective ingredients: Fels Naptha bar soap, Borax, and Arm & Hammer Washing Soda.

I altered my recipe after a few trials. The first batch was really thick, the second was too thin, and now I think I have this one juuuussssstttt right.

Here's my recipe for what I call "BB's Ultra Detergent":

Clean Eating: You are what you eat

My husband and I have been meal prepping and clean eating for about 3-4 months, maybe longer. It all started when he got more serious about his workouts and fitness. One day he'll come home looking like the Incredible Hulk *eekk! It really helps keep us on track, resist the urge to buy fast food, and save money

The idea of meal prepping came from some of his IG followers and its very easy, if you can keep up with it and make a schedule. Our schedule changes because of my work, rotating days and nights.

Welcome

Hello all,

Welcome to BB's Homemakin'. I've chosen to make my first post about creating this blog. The reason is because somehow I thought it would be easy to create a blog but I learned really quick that's not so. There are many things I had no idea about and I'm still trying to learn like those easy-but-sometimes-not-really html codes.

I found help on my awesome, all knowing recourse, Pinterest (dont judge my addiction). There are endless tips from all areas of blogging. One of the things I had trouble with was adding social networking buttons to my sidebar. I found help at Greatfun and from The SITS Girls.

Now that I've got a jump start on designing my blog, I'm ready to start posting my projects, my natural hair tips, and some recipes about clean eating. In a nutshell this blog will be all about BB's HomemaKin', one project at a time.  I hope that you subscribe to keep up with me and all my DIY's.
