Americas alone wash 100 million (35 billion loads) of laundry every year. But most laundry detergent used is so harmful to the environment it ends up polluting the water ways with phosphates, chlorine and even petroleum. Instead opt for a product that doesn’t take a toll on the environment or your clothing material. Here are three that you should consider switching to.

1. Method Detergent: Contains no phosphates. It cleans through a biodegradable enzyme. $8 for 32 ounces (32 loads of laundry). Can be purchased at Wal-Mart and Target.

2. Biokleen Detergent: Uses super concentrated formulas, which means less packaging. All of the ingredients are from a renewable resource. Contains no phosphates and comes in fragrance-free. Can be used in cold water which saves on additional energy usage. $7 for 32 ounces (32 loads of laundry).

3. Ecos Detergent: Comes out clean in its whole production cycle. The all-natural liquid detergent is made in the United States in green facilities. The ingredients come from a domestic, certified organic source. Packaging and container are recyclable and even biodegradable. Ecos even encourages their employees to garden organically as well. $9 for 50 ounces (25 loads of laundry)

4. Try making your own:
• What you will need:
2 cups Soap flakes
1 cup Washing soda
1 cup Borax
Vegetable glycerin
Heavy plastic or glass container
Essential oils

• What you need to do:
Mix the soap flakes, washing soda and the borax together and store in a lidded container.

If you want to make a liquid all natural laundry detergent, add 6 tablespoons of vegetable glycerin and 6 cups of water to the powder detergent above. You’ll need to shake well before each use.

Lavender and Orange essential oils are good to add for scent. Use about 30 to 40 drops per batch of liquid detergent.

Fumes from everyday household cleaners may make your house “clean”, so to speak, but at what level are you putting your own health and your family and pet’s health at risk? With common products within your own cabinet, you can still get your house clean without the risk of health and lung issues later on. Here are some common ingredients for making all-natural cleaners. Most you have on hand right now.

• 1/2 cup baking soda + 2 tbs. castile soap= Bathroom Cleaner (with a bit of elbow grease and these products, you can take almost anything off your tub, shower and even floor and cabinets)

• Used coffee grinds= Lawn Fertilizer

• 1 cup white vinegar + 1 cup baking soda + 1 kettle of boiling water= An Awesome Drain Opener (pour in baking soda into the drain, add the vinegar and wait 30 minutes, follow by flushing with boiling water)

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil + 1/2 cup lemon juice= Furniture Polish

• 1 cup white vinegar + 1 gallon of water= Glass Cleaner (mix together in a spray-top bottle)

• Brewer’s yeast=Flea Repellent (click here to find out more)

• Vitamin B= Flea Repellent (click here to find out more)

• Cinnamon Leaves = Whole Cloves= Air Freshener (simmer on the stove with water on medium-low heat)

Changing your cleaning routine and cleaning products to include one or more of these ingredients can significantly reduce your families and your own risk of inhaling harmful fumes that make cause other issues later, such as asthma, or even skin irritations. Your pet will thank you as well for changing their chemical exposure to a greener solution.

Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis) is a member of the mint family and is used for many body products and to treat body ailments such as nervousness, menopausal symptoms, Insect bites, headaches, eczema, depression, asthma, and allergies as well.

Try this lemon balm bath salt recipe:

2 cups of Epsom Salts
2 cups of baking soda
2 cups of sea salt or Celtic salt
10-15 drops Lemon Balm essential oil
5 drops Lemon essential oil

Mix the Epsom salts and the baking soda together in a large glass bowl with a wooden spoon. Be sure and get them mixed together quite well before adding the sea salt. Once the mixing process is done add the sea salt and mix well.

Add the first drops of lemon balm essential oil and mix into the other salts well. Then add the lemon essential oil to your desired scent liking. Different people prefer different scents and if you have an allergy to citrus leave out the lemon essential oil altogether.

Epsom Salt: is known to draw toxins from the body, sedate the nervous system, reduce swelling and relax muscles. It’s also a natural skin softener and exfoliator.

Baking Soda: helps neutralize the acids on your skin and wash away oils and perspiration, leaving your skin silky smooth. It’s also useful to relieve itching.

Sea Salts: helps cleanse pores, alleviate dry skin conditions and soften the water.

Lemon Balm Essential Oil: helps with everything mentioned above as well as help to block some of the secretion of the thyroid gland and its ability to release hormones in the body. Consequently, lemon balm has been implemented for use in connection with Grave’s disease, which is an autoimmune condition where individuals suffer from excess thyroid hormone due to an overactive thyroid.

Lemon Essential Oil: contains flavonoid a compound that contains antioxidant and anti-cancer properties.

• What you will need:

-A double boiler or microwave oven
-Crushed or grated beeswax
-Extra virgin olive oil
-12 to 25 drops of your choice essential oil blend
-Plastic, metal or glass lip balm tubes or containers

In a double boiler or a microwave, melt, on low heat, 1 ounce of the crushed or gates beeswax. You can find beeswax pellets in the health food store and those will work just fine as well. Add in 3 ounces of the extra-virgin olive oil until the wax has softened and begins to melt completely. Combine the olive oil with the beeswax, but do not stir to hard or fast and allow air bubbles to get inside the mixture. This will turn you lip balm into more of a salve than a solid stick of lip balm.

Remove the mixture from the heat and mix in 12 to 25 drops of your choice of essential oils. Essential oils are very intense so if you are adding, say peppermint always start small and work your way up with the drops. You don’t want to over power your lips with the peppermint oil, it will burn if you get too much.

Pour the lip balm mixture into 1/4 ounce plastic lip balm tubes, containers or even metal salve containers will work. You can find all of these at a crafts store or a health food store world wide. Let the tubes sit in room temperature to cool completely before applying the lids. If you place them in a cooler or refrigerator they will harden to quickly and begin to crack. When you go to use the lip balm it won’t hold it’s shape and will break apart.

Essential oils are all around us, just like with herbs. The benefits of essential oils goes beyond what most modern-day medicine practicing doctors can prescribe, but getting the benefits of the essential oils in your own home is really very easy.

With using essential oils in your products you can create custom blends as well as products within your own home. They are very earth-friendly and super easy to make at home.

…..for that fresh drunken Irish clean feeling.

Glycerin soap, clear for a more transparent green or white for a more solid green color
Soap dye in green
Soap molds in shamrock shape or other St. Patrick’s Day shape
Microwave safe liquid measuring cup
Spoon
Popsicle stick or coffee stirrer
Knife

If using bars of soap, cut into three pieces. If using purchased glycerin blocks, cut off 2-3 pre-measured chunks. Place glycerin soap into a measuring cup, microwave for 20 seconds), then in 10-second intervals until melted. Add colors. Add a few drops and stir with a spoon. If you want the color darker, simply add more dye.

Slowly pour the liquid soap into the mold. Set aside to harden for 45 minutes to an hour.

After soap has cooled completely, pop them out of the molds.

*While you’re in the festive mood, why not make a St. Patrick’s Day Green Beer Candle:*

A glass beer mug
Candle gel
Standard paraffin wax
An appropriate wick length
Green candle coloring and fragrance if desired
A wire whisk
Standard candle making equipment

Take the wick, make it longer than you would need and tie it around a pencil. Place the pencil length-wise across the lip of the mug. Melt the gel over med HIGH heat on the stove or in a microwaveable-safe dish in the microwave. Once the gel is liquefied add green coloring and fragrance if using. Once fragrance and color is incorporated, pour directly into mug. You might want to hold the wick by the pencil straight up from the middle to keep it straight while pouring. Before starting the next step, allow the gel to fully harden.

Next step is to melt the paraffin wax in the same manor as above. Either way will work fine. While the paraffin is melting your need to whip the wax so as to add bubbles to the wax. Pour the whipped wax directly on the top of the gel in the mug. Be sure to hold the wick straight up and down do that it is even with the rest of the candle and won’t burn sideways. Let everything harden completely for a day or two before burning. Or use it for your St. Patrick’s Day decor while you party it up Irish-style this evening.

During the winter and even in the summer the skin begs for moisture. Not only on your face and legs but all over the body. The hands are one of the worst places to feel the dryness of the winter months. If you constantly are washing your hands, you skin will start to dry out if a lotion or cream is not applied after the washing or even after 3-5 washings. Here’s a great way to moisturize the skin, especially the hands and still stay within the natural, homemade spectrum of things.

Making a simple hand cream:

Aromatherapy hand creams moisturize dry skin and help to heal any minor abrasions. This recipe is simple to make because there is no flower water to incorporate like in some of the previously posted recipes. Lemon oil helps to fad and discolored skin and the benzoin helps to heal all those paper cuts that seem to happen when you least expect them.

What you’ll need:

3 oz. (75 g.) of unfactionated coconut oil
A heat-resistant glass bowl
A pan of hot water
1 fl. oz. (25 ml) of sweet almond oil
8 drops each of lavender and lemon essential oil
4 drops of benzoin
A large glass jar

1. Put the coconut oil in the glass bowl, placed inside a pan of hot water of a gentle heat. Once the coconut oil has melted, ass the sweet almond oil and stir until the mixture is thoroughly blended.

2. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lavender and lemon, and the benzoin after the other oils have been incorporated. Mix them in thoroughly, then pour into the glass jar while still warm and liquid. Be sure and let cool completely before applying to the skin.

This lotion can be used at any time during the year. It is great for babies because it contains no artificial ingredients and won’t cause side effects on children like most over-the-counter lotions.

Making Peppermint Soap:

40 oz Olive oil
20 oz Palm Kernel oil
20 oz Pam oil
20 oz Coconut oil
5 oz Jojoba oil (added at trace)
4 oz Lavender EO (added at trace)
2 oz Peppermint EO (added at trace)
6 oz Alcanet diffused in 8 oz olive oil (added at trace)
34 oz filtered water
14.5 oz lanolin
Combined oils and lanolin at 100 degrees F. Mixed with stick blender. Poured into loaf mold and covered with plastic wrap. Wrapped in blankets for 24 hrs and then cut into thick strips of soap and wrap in cloth or plastic wrap. Store in a cool, dry location.

Making Peppermint Lip Balm:

1½ oz beeswax pellets
1 oz cocoa butter
1½ oz shea butter
2 ozs. sweet almond oil
1-2 teaspoons peppermint essential oil
1 teaspoon vitamin E liquid

In a very small pan, add the beeswax and melt over the lowest setting.
Once melted add the cocoa butter chunks and shea butter, let melt, and
then add the sweet almond oil. Heat through. Add the Vitamin E oil.
Remove from stove and pour into a glass measuring cup for easy pouring
into lip balm containers.

Add the peppermint oil. Stir peppermint oil in
and pour into lip balm containers. If the mixture starts to harden, place in
the microwave for a few seconds to re-melt and then pour. Makes 6 oz.

Making Peppermint Lotion:

3 tbsp paraffin
1/2 cup shea butter
1 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp glycerin
10-15 drops peppermint essential oil

Slowly heat paraffin with the oils in a double boiler. Stir until blended. Add in the glycerin and remove from heat. Let cool before using.

Making Peppermint Scented Candles:

1/2 teaspoon peppermint essential oil
Wicks
Wick holder
1/2 pound beeswax
1/2 pound soy wax
Small paintbrush

1. In a double boiler, heat beeswax and soy wax until melted, about 180 degrees. Check temperature with a candy thermometer. Turn off the heat and add peppermint oil.

2. Cut 3 inches of wick; tie a knot at one end. Thread the loose end through a wick holder, and pull so the knot is secure under the holder.

3. Dip the wick and holder with wax until coated; this will stiffen and straighten the wick. Press the wick holder into the bottom of your candle holder to affix. Let the wick dry.

4. Pour the wax into the candle, and fill to the edge. Let the candle dry for about 4 hours.

All you need are sheets of beeswax and wicks. You can purchase these at craft stores, bee keeping supply companies or from an online source. To find an online source simply search the words, “candle making”, “wax sheets”, or “beeswax sheets.”

The honeycomb wax is a neat little added flair to the tapers. But, you can use smooth as well, either one works great. They are available in a wide range of colors. The cost for an 8″ x 16″ sheet will run you about two dollars.

Determine the size of the wick to purchase by the diameter of the candles you plan to make. Most sources will have a chart of recommendations to help you pick out the right wick. Wicks come in flat braid or square braid. For the most flexibility, you may want to purchase a range of wick sizes.

Buy enough wax and wick that you will be able to do a few test runs.

To get started warm the wax in the sun until it softens a bit or you can heat it by placing it on a towel lined cookie sheet in a 250 degree oven. It just takes a couple of minutes for the wax to soften and become pliable.

Determine the height of the candle you want and cut the sheet accordingly. Next cut a piece of wick about 1/2 inches longer than the height of your candle. Place the wick 1/8 of an inch from the edge of the wax sheet and press firmly so that it is well sealed. Now gently roll the sheet tightly, making sure the ends are even. When you have created the diameter desired, use a utility knife to trim any excess and a warm metal spatula to seal the edge. Trim the wick down to about 1/2 inch on top.

To increase the diameter of the candle, simply roll the first sheet with the wick in it with a new sheet lining up the edge of the new sheet with the unsealed outer edge of the candle and begin to roll again. Continue these steps until you have the diameter you prefer.

It’s amazing how popular candles have become, particularly around the holiday season, and to think, the essentail ingredient here is from out friend the honeybee.

Most of the mouthwash on the shelves in supermarkets contain ingredients we shouldn’t be putting in our mouth to begin with. Common colorants found in these products are FD&C Blue 1 and FD&C Green 3, which are carcinogenic. Also, be on the look out for FD&C Yellow 5 and FD&C Yellow 6. These colorants contain impurities that have been proven to cause cancer when applied to skin. So why put it in your mouth. Here’s some recipes to help you steer clear of those supermarket varieties:

Cinnamon Sweet Mouthwash:

This mouthwash recipe requires a couple of weeks for the spices to steep in the alcohol.

1 cup vodka
1 tablespoon whole cloves
1 tablespoon cinnamon chips
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon anise seed
1 teaspoon licorice root

Place the vodka and spices into a small glass jar with a tight fitting lid. Steep for two weeks, giving the jar a shake daily to keep the spices from settling. Strain and pour back into the glass bottle. To use, dilute 1 tablespoon mouthwash in 1 cup of water. Use as a gargle and mouth rinse and do not swallow.

Orange Mint Mouthwash:

20 drops of peppermint essential oil
10 drops of orange essential oil
10 drops eucalyptus essential oil
1 cup of vodka

Combine the essential oils with the vodes and store in a tightly capped bottle. To use, dilute 1 tablespoon mouthwash in 1 cup water. Stir well. Use as a gargle and mouth rinse and do not swallow.

Also, try this homemade tooth-whitening treatment:

Although this won’t give you the same dramatic results as the bleaching kits available at the drugstors and from your dentist, it will result in a brighter smile.

1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon hydrogen peroxide

Mix all ingreidents together in a small container. Wet your toothbrush, and dip into the mixture. Brush your teeth for two minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

Colonial Candle continues our tradition of bringing you the best product selection to delight you with new collections and new seasonal items. Combined with your everyday selection of pillars, tapers and containers candles, you now have a full array of home decorating and fragrance options.

Here’s some basic recipes on how to make soaps. Most of the soap on the market contains chemicals and colors that aren’t good for your skin or your body. Making them at home is a great way to bypass all of those harmful ingredients.

• Cirtus Beeswax Soap:

4 ounces (114 grams) glycerin soap base (available at any healthfood store)
10 drops grapefruit essential oil
1 teaspoon beeswax

How to:

Melt glycerin over low heat in a double boiler or microwave. Add beeswax and remove from heat. Stir until wax is melted. Add essential oil. Stir and pour into mold.
The trick to glycerin when using melt and pour soaps is to keep the heat as low as possible. Too much heat will cause a mushy or beaded appearance after a very short storage time. Keep glycerin soaps sealed in plastic to keep the glycerin from attracting moisture from the air.

• Lavender Soap:

2 cups glycerin soap
1/2 cup dried lavender blooms (ground up in a food processor)
7 drops lavender essential oil

How to:

Melt glycerin in double boiler or slowly in microwave. Add lavender bloomks, stir until slightly cooled. Add essential oil. Pour into molds. Cool.

• Green Tea Chammomile Soap:

2 cups glycerin soap base
1 tablespoon powdered chamomile
1 tablespoon glycerin or aloe vera
3 tea bags of green tea

How to:

Melt glycerin base in double boiler on low heat. Blend the green tea, tear open the bag and combine with glycerin or aloe. Stir this mixture into melted glycerin. Pour into small tupperware style containers and leave uncovered until cool.

Soaking in this refreshing bath is the perfect way to unwind after a day of strenuous physical activity. You will feel your muscles relax as your bathe. Keep a jar of the mix in your bathroom; after a gruelling day, add a scoop or two to your bathwater. For fragrance, simple add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the water along with the salts. This treatment can be drying to your skin, so remember to moisturize thoroughly afterward.

You will need:

• 1 cup sea salt or kosher salt
• 1 cup baking soda
• 1 cup Epsom salt

Mix all ingridents together and store in a clean 24 ounce jar with a tight-fitting lid. To use, add 1/2 to 1 cup of the bath salts directly beneath the warm, running water as you fill the bathtub. Soak in the bath for 15 to 20 minutes. Afterward, moisturize your skin throughly with a rich, natural oil.

If you want to scent of the oils in your salts, place all the above ingredients into a zippered bag and add a few drops of your favorite oil. I like to add eucalyptus oil to the salts during the winter and citrus essential oils in the summer. Seal and shake the bag once the desired amount of drops are added. Once the essential oils have incorporated into the salts. Pour the salt mixture into your clean 24 ounce jar. Make sure the jar you use has a tight-fitting lid to help keep out unwanted moisture.
