<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I came across a blog entry on <a href="http://onegoodthingbyjillee.com/">http://onegoodthingbyjillee.com/</a>
about a household cleaner made from vinegar and LEMON peels. I decided to try
it out and set about making my own. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">When I introduced it to Lucky, who was our Cleaning Angel
at that stage, she was very impressed. Not only did it do a proper job, but it
also smelled amazing so I taught her how to make her own. Now that we have
moved and changed provinces we’ve had to look for a new Cleaning Angel and so
Cindy came along. Soon I had her convinced about the dangers of ammonia-based
cleaners and that <u><b>MY</b></u> detergent was the best in the world!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>*lol*</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Citrus peels contain d-Limonene, an oil that has the
ability to clean and dissolve dirt. When extracted into a solvent such as white
vinegar which in itself is a brilliant substitute for store-bought cleaners,
you have a powerhouse that can clean just about any surface. I am not going to
elaborate on the uses of this mighty mix of cleaning agents but feel free to
add some of your own experiences in the comments.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Adding essential oils to your end product is not
necessary. However, I do add peppermint, cinnamon and citronella essential oils
(10 drops each to a 500ml dilution of the citrus-vinegar solution and water). These
essential oils are absolute monsters when it comes to deterring bugs around the
house. Our new home in the Western Cape had ants in every room! Some rooms
would have a line of black ants coming in through a hole in the window pane or
sill and they would be marching in a line through the whole room, out the door
and down the passage! Since Cindy started using this potent mix, the ants have
just about disappeared. There was also evidence of rodents in some of the
kitchen cupboards but I am sure the peppermint essential oil will make them
think twice before they actually decide to move back in with us!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am lucky
enough to own a food processor with a citrus juice component. You will also
note that in my pictures I used very old lemons. They had very little juice and
their peels were already turning leathery. This is fine, since the d-Limonene
is still inside the peels and the vinegar will dig in there to get it all out
for you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Next, cut the little empty citrus peel cups in smaller
sections. Not too small though! You do not want the whole jar brimful with
peels else there won’t be any space for the vinegar! Also, it is not necessary to
fill the WHOLE jar with as many peels as you can. One sliced up peel from one
large lemon or orange should be sufficient.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Top up your jar with the white vinegar. A word of
warning, though! I once stumbled across synthetic white vinegar. Luckily I was
wearing my funky spectacles and was able to spot the monsters before I loaded
them onto my trolley! Check the label, and if it says anything like "Imitation" or something to that effect, lift your nose high up and walk on by.</span><br />

<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Close the lid on the jar. You may wish to place a note on
the jar marking the date it was bottled, or when it should be ready for use. Here
you can see I put down the date when the solution will be ready for use.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Store in a cool, dark place where you will be able to
reach for every other day to give it a bit of a shake. This ensures that the
vinegar is cycled properly and distributes the d-Limonene throughout the
solution.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After two weeks, remove the lid or cap of your jar. Strain
the liquid through a kitchen sieve. At the time that the photos were taken (you
can see I have not been able to get to all my bloggings responsabilities for quite some
time!) I did not have any muslin through which I could strain my liquid. This is
fine, but if you want a clearer liquid you may use a muslin cloth through which
you can strain yours.</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Leave the peels over the jug or bowl so that as much of
the vinegar can run out. Add some of your own effort to it by squishing it out
by hand (you’ll know why I used “squished” instead of “squeeze” when you do
this at home). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">BONUS: you may throw the used peels in your dustbins,
thus deodorising the trash cans for as long as the peels are inside them.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How to use:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Dilute one part citrus vinegar to one part water in a
spray bottle. I am using our old Amway pistol grip sprayers because they last
and last and last and last and last and last… as opposed to the ones we bought
at Plasticland: their “last” is actually their LAST.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Add your essential oils to the mix, screw the sprayer top
onto the bottle, shake shake shake shake and THERE YOU GO!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fabbie, isn't it? </span></div>

stick my nose in the bottle to smell it. Roses and Lavender may not be [flower]bed
mates when it comes to growing them – one prefers a slightly more arid

moist – their fragrances sure as mud go together.</span></span></div>

</span></span><br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Start off by thoroughly rinsing your herbs. I seriously
advise using roses from your own garden, free from store-bought pesticides and
chemicals. Also try and avoid roses that have any form of disease or insects on
the petals.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Remove all the petals from the roses and press between two
clean dish towels to remove excessive water. Spread the dish towel open and leave
the petals uncovered to air dry further while you get busy with the lavender.<br></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pinch a tip of a sprig of lavender in one hand. Take your
other hand and pinch the stem between thumb and forefinger just below the fingers of the other hand. Slide your
fingers down the stem, removing the leaves from the stem. Again, dry
the leaves the same way as the rose petals.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span></span><br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you are adding lavender flowers, you may use exactly the same
method to remove the small flowers from their stems.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Place your glass bottle inside another bowl or dish. This is
just to prevent spillage. Boy, do I hate spillage! And my boyfriend hates the
MESS! By placing your bottle inside another bowl you will catch anything that
might slip off the outside of the bottle, without letting it go to waste!</span></span></div>

to allow the moisture to evaporate, while the salts draw out the essential oils
and fragrance into the salt crystals. Covering the bottle with its lid will
cause the mixture to grow mouldy and iffy and smell acrid and horrid… not good!</span></span></div>

much traffic for around 2 weeks. Pour it all out into a dish big enough to mix
it through thoroughly. Scoop back into the bottle and, if necessary add some
more salts. You may leave the mix for another two weeks in the same dark place,
or you may start using it right away but adding a handful or two to hot
bathwater.</span></span></div>

A. WALL. Chasing mozzies at night, banging on the ceiling trying to kill them and leaving the nauseating bloody corpses clinging to our walls.<br /><br />It was time for me to take action!<br /><br />Personally I do not feel comfortable killing anything. Yeah, I do sometimes either by accident or out of frustration but in general I am convinced that we are not allowed to take the life from another living being without their permission. For that matter I am vegetarian.<br /><br />So I decided to make Bug Bags for our cupboards. Somehow the mozzies have grown fond of Elford’s mess in his section of the cupboard and no matter how many times I tell him to tidy it up, he just ignores my please and carries on just dumping his clothes wherever there is space. The other day I stuck my hand in there and a SWARM of mozzies came rushing out! They really do love my boyfriend, don’t they? And when the tackle him he ends up with huge red lovebites. They’re such a romantic bunch, my boyfriend and his mozzies!<br /><br />Here’s what I used:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />- I gathered some insect repelling herbs gathered from around our garden. Remember to say thank you to the Elementals and Fey for gifting you with these herbs:</span><br />

Sometimes so severe that I end up scratching myself <i>stukkend</i>! The most affected parts being at the back of my head on the neck muscles... maybe because they stand out more and loose moistcha quicka?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Who knows, who cares.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">IT ITCHES!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">So I went off on a search for an alternative to frothy, foamy shampoos. <i>Head and Shoulders</i> helped a lot but the question remained "Why does this shampoo take away the itch? What is in it that I don't want my body to come into contact with?" After all, it was still foaming and as far as my knowledge goes, foamy is not really good for you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Enter: <b><i>Apple Cider Vinegar</i></b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I am not going to elaborate on how good it is for you, or the many, many uses it has. All I will say is look for a raw, organic, unfiltered, uncooked, unpasteurised, un-unpleasanted, non-chemical-ed ACV. Oh, and apparantly it has to say something to the effect of "the mother" or that it contains "the mother". It will be a murky brown liquid with a bit of a sediment at the bottom which, of course, is the mother.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Of course, the odour of ACV is not really all to pleasant but the smell dissipates after an hour or so after rinsing your hair with it, but I add some essential oils to my mix that not only smell nice but are also good in mending any issues you may have under your thick wooly rug-at-the-top. Feel free to Google them, or create your own combination.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Here's how:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Ingredients</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">1 part water (preferrably filtered or boiled or distilled)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">1 part ACV</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">10 drops Ylang Ylang EO</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">10 drops Rosemary EO</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">5 - 10 drops Rose Blend EO</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Any old plastic bottle (I used an old Pantene bottle. The cap comes off so you can pop it in the dishwasher after a few good rinses, to make sure it is LIKE, TOTALLY clean).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Pour water into the plastic bottle and add the ACV. You will have to work out the measurements of water, but since I was using a 375ml bottle I worked on around 180ml water and 180ml ACV. Just make sure there is enough space at the top of the bottle to add essential oils.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Add the essential oils, replace the cap of the bottle and shake, shake SHAKE it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>How to use</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Wet your hair thoroughly, and press out any excess water. Shake your ACV rinse thoroughly before dribbling it over your hair, massaging it down into the roots and scalp.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>TIP:</b> Keep your head backwards while dribbling the mixture into your hair otherwise it could run into your face and eyes. It will only sting a little bit when it comes into contact with the eyes (unlike normal shampoo which burns like HELL!) but altogether not a nice one to try and rinse out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Now leave the liquid in your hair while you take your bath or shower, carefully avoiding running water onto your head until you have finished washing the rest of your beautiful body. Rinse, and pat dry. No need for a second rinse unless your hair is really gunky or full of some chemical off-the-shelf hair product.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Nice, neh!</span>nicoocinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03556193214072169320noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7543968421270084636.post-49985142907341969132013-09-16T01:36:00.000-07:002014-01-29T03:07:49.026-08:00The First.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Ingredients</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Brown sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Grapeseed oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Freshly squeezed lemon juice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Lavender Essential Oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Patchouli Essential Oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Ginger Essential Oil</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Ti Tree Essential Oil (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">100ml bottle with cap</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Here's how:</b></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Fill the container (I used a flip top jar) up to its neck with sugar.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Add the grapeseed oil slowly and stir. I used a toothpick to stir as this was the only thing small enough to go through the opening in my container. Feel free to use anything you want. Let it settle.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Now add around two teaspoons of FRESH (not the bottled kind) lemon juice and stir again. Do not add any more than this as this will dissolve the sugar and make this mixture messy and tacky and sticky... we don't want that!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Add around five to seven drops of the listed essential oils. Stir again.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Should there be some space left, you can top off with just a little more sugar and oil, but do not fill past the container's neck line.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Stir again.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Close the lid and store "in a cool, dry place" (Some lids may be leaky so placing it under the shower will do exactly what we are trying to stop the lemon juice from doing...)</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>How to use:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Before you wet any areas to be scrubbed, take a finger full (around 3/4 of a teaspoon full) and rub it together in your hands. Now smear it all over the area to be scrubbed. Add more if necessary. Rub firmly and slowly, like you are massaging the area, for a few seconds. Rinse with warm water.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">I usually don't wash the excess oil off since it tends to get absorbed into the skin within an hour anyway. It defies the purpose in any case, since the oil is meant to moisturise, while soap tends to break down the oil and leave your skin dry... maybe even DRIER than before!</span><br />
