Björklövsvatten (hårskölj) Björklövsvatten (hårskölj) Jag har inte använt köpe-schampo sedan december 2014 och har istället tillämpat vad vissa kallar det ”No Poo”- metoden. Ett till synes drastiskt beslut jag gjorde för att dels öka vår självhushållningsgrad (minska mängden av saker vi måste köpa), dels för att undvika att tvåla en del av mig själv in med en massa konstigheter, som sedan sköljs ner i avloppet. Björklöven innehåller nämligen bland annat saponiner och eteriska oljor som både rensar och skummar lätt. Du kan använda antingen torkade eller färska blad, dock behöver du en mindre mängd om löven är torkade. Se till att skörda bladen innan midsommar (då finns flest ämnen kvar) och tänk på att björken (Betula) blöder på våren, så skörda varsamt! Ingredienser 1 näve färska björkblad (alternativt 1-2 msk torkade) 2-3 dl kallt vatten Gör såhär Lägg björklöven i en stor glasburk och fyll på vattnet. Låt bladen dra i vattnet i minst en halv timme – skaka då och då. Skölja efter med rent vatten. Tips! Björksirap

Homemade Body Butter » The Merrythought During the winter months my skin can use all the moisturizing it can get! I’ve been wanting to try making my own lotion, or body butter, for a while now and since I’ve been on a homemade beauty product kick lately, now is the time! I thought I’d start really simple and easy, using only whipped coconut oil and essential oils. I’ve been using coconut oil as a makeup remover and occasionally as a moisturizer, but I hate trying to scrape the coconut oil out of the jar; so I thought I’d see if whipping it would change the texture enough to be more like a creamy lotion. Turns out, works great – I’ve got an easy to use, creamy body butter that smells amazing! You can use whatever essential oils you’d like – I chose ones that were good for my skin and that I enjoy the smell. Homemade Body Butter ; it’s quite large, but I like the wide mouth for being able to reach in easily) If you’re curious about essentials oils, you can learn more here. -Manda

DIY Aloe Vera Gel This Instructable will show you how I (and I emphasize I) make homemade Aloe Vera Gel. I personally use it as a moisturizer on my aging sun-kissed, exposed chest skin and neck, hoping that it will rejuvenate it over the long run and keep that part of my skin looking young. One of the reasons I am posting this tutorial is because I know this mixture helps heal sunburns. My husband burns easily and in a pinch, I have rubbed straight aloe vera goo from the plant on his bright red extremities. It just works. I grow my own aloe vera plants. The original source I used for this recipe is here: Cheryl's Delights Blog. The recipe is spot on, I have personally used it, and I am going to share the process of making it with you. Please remember that this post is for information only, and it is not intended to recommend treatment. ~ Thanks!
DIY all-natural eye-emphasizing mascara Mascara is the one cosmetic I wear on a daily basis, and the one item in my regular beauty routine that, up until now, I have still been purchasing ready-made (as opposed to making it in my kitchen). You see, I’ve tried to make my own mascara in the past (oh, have I tried), but all of the recipes called for coconut oil. While this may work outdoors in the wintertime (burr), since coconut oil has a melting point of 76°F, it was constantly smudging all over my face! I love the ingenuity of these DIYs but they were just not working out for me. So I gave up. So I did. Ingredients*: 2 teaspoons of pure aloe vera gel. *Makes 1 tube of mascara Directions: Mix all of the ingredients together until smooth and consistent. To fill the tube, use an oral syringe (these can be purchased at the drugstore for a few dollars and will make the process significantly more simple). That’s it! Unlike the coconut oil DIY mascaras, this mascara dries on the lashes and so does not smudge.
