| RE: Tree Nut Allergy and Cosmetics |
I checked with The Body Shop Customer Service
Dept. They advised me that although not all their products contain nuts, some do and all the same machinery is used to make all their products, therefore there is a chance of cross contamination. ... View related article. |

| RE: Tree Nut Allergy and Cosmetics |
Thanks thriftmeg. For the past few days I've been cleaning my skin with baking soda and water, followed by olive oil for moisture. I'll look for that book though.
I have been to the Body Shop Cath. LOVE their products. When I mention my allergy and enquire as to ingredients I usually get a completely befuddled look from the employee. I'll check again.
Editor's Note: You could look at their site online and ask questions there, then go to your local store and shop with that information. http://www.thebodyshop.com/bodyshop/index.jsp ... View related article. |

| RE: Pet Food Recipes |
Dr. Pitcairn's book is Great!. What an eye opener! I knew there were undesirable elements in commercial food, but wow!
I have now switched Gracie (13 year old collie/shepard) to one of the recipes in the book and she loves it! Further, she seems to be different - more energy, happier and more dog-like. She doesn't lay beside her food dish anymore, staring at the food and pouting for half an hour before she eats. I put her dish down and she eats it all with gusto. She is more interested in the world around her when we go out now and has to stop and smell every blade of grass. She even wanted to run home last night on the last leg of our walk. Unfortunately for her, I am not a jogger!!
Tigtig (2 year old tabby cat) is a little less pleased. He has always been a nibbler instead of an eater and was addicted to the high fat, high salt of the commercial cat food. I know he will love the new food when he gives it a chance and should be ready to give the new food a try today or tomorrow. I can't wait to see the change in him.
Thanks JavaJunkieMom for the great referral! ... View related article. |

I've heard that Fels-Naptha bar soap or any other laundry bar and a good scrub brush works well on this. ... View related article. |

Have you tried putting vinegar on the area and letting it sit for a while? Vinegar seems to work well with a variety of cleaning problems. ... View related article. |

| RE: Using Baking Soda In Your Laundry |
|
I use a mixure of 2 cups vinegar, 2 cups baking soda and 4 cups water as fabric softener. Clothes are soft with no perfumey smell. Just shake before using and you can use the same amount per wash as regular store bought fabric softener. ... View related article. |

| RE: Recipes for Making Household Products |
I have replaced all my store bought cleaning products with homemade. I gathered the recipes from ThriftyFun and Recipegoldmine.com. They work better and are unbelievably inexpensive.
So far, I have made: all purpose spray cleaner, all purpose abrasive scrub, disinfectant, dish detergent, laundry detergent, fabric softener, shower gel, glass cleaner, fabreeze and furniture cleaner/polish.

| RE: I'll Never Buy Commercial Fabric Softener Again! |
I have been using this recipe for years. It is the best in my opinion. I don't use the essential oils, I prefer the smell of plain old clean laundry (especially just off the clothesline outside).
If you also steer clear of synthetic fabrics and stick to natural fibres like cotton, etc. you will have less problems with static as well. ... View related article. |
