    Scented vinegar for laundry

    I haven't been using anything at all and my clothes are okay. My best friend and I are always at odds because of us wanting to be self sufficient. She said once we get our farmette that she's not going to come eat dinner with us any more because we "eat our pets." :gig I tried to explain to her...

    When we go to the store again I'll look for it. It's not that it doesn't rise... he just says it's "too crumbly" to use as sandwich bread. I think he's just used to bread out of a bag and doesn't know what he's talking about. I have used my bread as sandwich bread and it was fantastic

    Mmmmmmm! This sounds AMAZING! Fairly simple bread as well. Is it good for sandwiches? That's my husbands biggest complaint is that my bread isn't good sandwich bread. I think it's mostly because I'm using AP flour and not bread flour tho. He likes to just eat the bread, but not for sandwiches.

    hair care?

    *I* consider my hair to be medium length, but everyone else doesn't. I think anything shorter than touching your shoulders as short, anything from your middle back to your shoulders to be medium, and anything longer than your middle back to be long. My hair is almost to the middle of my back...

    Can you get gluten in the store? I thought about just making everything with bread flour, but it's a bit more expensive than regular flour... and I do make other things that don't need bread flour (we make our own pizzas, cakes, etc) so that would mean that I would need 2 different types of...

    Powder Homemade Laundry Soap

    I know this is a kinda old post... but.. a lot of people are saying that they put theirs in a gallon container. I bought a gallon container and it looks so empty!! Am I missing something?

    hair care?

    ooooooooooh thank you for that!! What's a sugar tub?! Our sugar comes in paper bags! (Am I missing something?! LOL) How did you start? Did you just stop using shampoo one day and the next start the baking soda and vinegar? I'm really interested in going that route. I used to go a year or...
