“Versatility” is the Word of the Day
Your grandmother may have combined lemon and salt to make her own all-natural, abrasive household cleaners. Growing up, friends may have assured you that olive oil made for a handy deep conditioner for unruly hair. And I have to admit that I’m a big fan of coconut oil for everything from cooking and baking to hair care and skin smoothing.
This week, your challenge is to break a few of your favourite multipurpose pantry and fridge staples out of their kitchen routine and put them to a new use. Ask friends and family, follow a little elderly advice or simply get on Google to find out what food items may play double duty.
Not only will adding grocery items to your cleaning or beauty regimen help stretch those dollars, but it may also steer you farther away from the countless chemicals found in the packaged products you reach for on a daily basis.
Have a favourite homemade concoction and want to share? Fill me in here!
Get brainstorming!
Always living with passion,

I love, love, love using mayonnaise as a hair conditioner. Simply wet your hair then towel dry it. Apply some mayonnaise in your hair — it doesn’t have to be loaded with it, I usually apply enough for a nice coating of it.
Let it sit for 30 minutes or so and then wash your hair thoroughly — you don’t want any mayo left behind because when it spoils, it will stink.
When your hair dries it will be nice and full.
