During my journey towards a #FromScratch lifestyle, I once found myself drawn towards trying the ‘No Poo’ movement (learn more about No Poo here). After I started making my own deodorant and body scrubs, going natural with my hair care seemed like the next big step. So off I went, making a DIY shampoo with castile soap in it, and following …
There I was, sitting on my bed crying, feeling stuck, and frustrated. I was feeling sorry for myself and not knowing where to go… I just knew I had to make a change. You see I had managed to get through the teen years without acne, but WHAM — my early 20’s started and I was hit with adult acne. In …
I think I can speak for everyone when I say this past Winter we had has been awful and long — it seemed like everyone and their mother got some sort of nasty sickness that never seemed to go away. But, thank goodness Spring is here which means warmer weather and sunshine for most everyone! Whether you like to celebrate …
Everyone has a guilty pleasure. Some of the smartest people in my life watch some of the most ridiculous TV shows, some of the healthiest people I know have a soft spot for the occasional Krispy Kreme donut, and some of the most naturally minded people, like myself, love wearing eye makeup. So, let me break it down for you …
Hey friend! It’s Jess, the original Scratch Mommy. Today I’m bringing you a new DIY skincare post..one that *many* of you have been requesting for quite some time… DeFunkifying DIY Deodorant for Sweaty Armpits! I apologize for the delay. The response to my previously published non-toxic DIY deodorant recipe has been overwhelmingly positive. I have had hundreds of people whip up …
In my mind, there is no more idyllic kitchen task than baking a pie. It brings to mind the holidays, or a family gathering, a warm house, and a sweet smelling kitchen. I think of grandmothers everywhere rolling out dough and slicing up apples. Why, after being a part of this real food movement for years now, I still have …
Every day I put my best face forward. And I can finally say I have reached a confidence level with my skin so that I really believe that it is my best face. It hasn’t always been like this though. My skin was definitely at it’s absolute worst when I was using commercial skin-“care” products. I cringe now when I …
While some people pull them out, douse them in pesticides, or mow them over, I collect dandelions as soon as they start appearing in the early spring. I’ve even gone so far as to gather them from nieghbor’s lawns (after I’ve made sure they don’t use chemical pesticides, of course), and I hope after you’ve read this, you’ll treat them with …
I’m sure we all know by now, homemade lip balms are WAY better than store bought. Yes, you can find a huge variety of styles and flavors at the store; some come with glitter and some have a pretty in-pink tint. But do you actually know what that cute little tube is filled with? It’s not pretty… Most of then …
I love a home that smells amazing. I love to walk in, or through, the house and be either invigorated, energized, calmed or soothed by a wonderful scent. Before I started living a life from scratch I used to accomplish that with regular old not-good-for-you candles that came with a side helping of toxic chemicals. But now I know better, …
