Bloo on Green ~ In which I continue my journey into homemade cleaners by starting with myself

HIPPY THOR'S DAY !!!!

YAY!!! I'm all caught up and here we are at Bloo on Green!!!

Today I have decided to continue my mission to use only the ingredients normally found in my kitchen to make cleaners for the household. Things that aren't chemical based that is.

Since I am off to the Acoustic Festival next week I thought it would be a good idea to get my bits and pieces in order to go away. That is when I realised I didn't have 2 lots of toothpaste in the house. hmmm so yes I scoured my Nanna Lucy's book of brilliance and found a recipe for toothpaste.

Yeap your very own non pumped full of fluoride and all the other things I can't spell let alone say. I always reckon that is a bad sign if the name for an ingredient needs a chemistry degree to decipher it!!

So here we go :~

Pixie's Nanna's Festival Toothpaste

1/2 cup Bicarb of Soda
1/4 bottle Peppermint Extract
Here comes the hard bit :~

Mix them together ....

Put the mix in a container ....


Now use it ... because of reusing the bicarb container to put the toothpaste in I can seal it well and not worry about it busting open in my bag


It will be a little more powdery than you are used to but who cares. There is nothing in Bicarb that can hurt you and peppermint extract is basically peppermint infused vodka or similar clear alcohol.

So this is now off into my festival bag ready to go... I wonder if I can find a way of making my own wet wipes ... hmmmmm ... will look into it for next week

Have an awesome one
