DIY...made Simple

50+ Home & Personal Care products in minutes, with 8 Ingredients you already have in your pantry!

Running late for work, I discovered that I had run out of deodorant.  Instead of freaking out, I ran to the kitchen, grabbed a few items from my pantry, whipped up a new batch of deodorant and was out the door, ready to take on the world. FIVE MINUTES, crisis averted.  I realized that EVERY WOMAN NEEDS THIS IN THEIR LIVES; the ability to make anything at the drop of a hat.  I spent hours compiling my most-used recipes and sharing them in classes, girl’s nights, and finally…this book.

This is written for the overwhelmed, stressed-out mom who wants so bad to use safe products in her home but doesn’t have the time to research, take hours out of her day, and spend tons of money on obscure ingredients.  I have done close to a hundred DIY events with my friends and community over the past years and the feedback I have received has been instrumental in putting this book together.  My goal is to show you how to replace most o the expensive chemical-laden products with simple recipes using 8 products most of us already have in our pantries right now.  This is about the basics.  Simple, budget-friendly, and quick.

Not only do I share my top simple recipes, I am going to teach you WHY I chose these ingredients so you can learn to change and create your own recipes with confidence. If you find a great recipe online, but don’t have access to the entire list of ingredients – you can substitute and make your own!

So many of the products we use in our home are dangerous on many levels, from carcinogens to hormone disruptors. Many of these products are considered safe because the dangerous ingredients are in such small amounts, but what happens is we end up using multiple products with small amounts and it compounds?  The average woman is exposed to over 300 chemicals each day, 80 before breakfast.  That’s insane! By knowing what is in your products and making most of them with simple, clean ingredients, you will start to see a change in your health.

I am also an Essential Oil Enthusiast.  When Essential Oils are added to recipes, it gives the recipe a boost! I’ve done many hours of research on how choosing the right oil is important. 

When adding genuine essential oils to recipes (not the generic perfume grade that is sold at many popular stores), you also get added health benefits as well. Cleaning your home becomes aromatherapy.  It’s beyond AMAZING!

Just a girl who finally decided to GO FOR IT!

 
My life was filled with regrets. I spent too much time in the rat race, being a stressed-out ball of anxiety living someone else’s version of my life. I would come home after work most days and crash on the couch with zero energy left. I took advice from others who didn’t know me, tried to keep up with the Jones’, living a boring life with no purpose. Somewhere along the way I lost my identity, I wore the hats of co-worker, mom, wife, etc. and forgot what brought ME joy. A turning point in my life was a quote I read from my favorite author, Terry Goodkind, “Your life is yours alone, rise up and live it!”

I set out on a journey to “find myself”, which is a little cheesy, but I came to realize that in order to be the best mom and best wife, I needed to be my best self. SELF-CARE IS NOT SELFISH. In fact, it’s just like the masks on an airplane. Put your mask on before helping others.

Everything changed when I got my head straight, started working to balance my life and started a simple daily routine that increased my energy and overall health. Almost overnight, I left the job I hated, we sold everything, moved across the country and started living our lives. My goal was to not have any regrets at the end of my short life.

Now, I work from home one block from the beach, I’m learning how to scuba, surf, and sail as we prepare to live on a boat, traveling the world, soon. We aren’t waiting for retirement when we won't be as “youthful”, we’re living our lives NOW.

I’ve put my mask on and I’m ready to help others fix their boring lives and do EXACTLY what they were created to do! I’m excited to see you live the life you are dreaming of!
