There are two very distinct kind of women. There are those of you out there that LOVE to be busy. You are go. Go. Go. You struggle when you don’t accomplish very much and feel great about yourself when you get a lot done… Then there are those of us that are more laissez-faire. We run one, maybe two errands a day. Three things on our calendar in one day may completely stress us out. The more free time we have the better we feel about ourselves. Neither of these personality styles are better or worse, we are all just a little different and do life a little differently. Regardless, whether you glorify busyness or protest against it, the following hack will give you more time to hit that to do list, run your errands, play with your children, or take a little nap.

What does the baking soda do?
Hair: Removes build up
Face: Balances PH and is a great exfoliate
Teeth: Whitens teeth but I wouldn’t recommend applying it to your teeth more than once a week, as it can be hard on enamel.
Cleaning: It scrubs and cleans without all the harsh chemicals.
Why use essential oil cleaning products?
I would be very cautious about what you choose to breathe in when cleaning your bathroom. I use essential oils because I know that I am breathing in oils that will heal my body in addition to cleaning my shower. If you don’t have essential oils, vinegar or lemon juice work great too!
