1. Baking Soda- I swear I use baking soda a million times a day! Okay, maybe not quite a million, but Wow is it awesome. I pick up boxes of it at the dollar store and if you regularly follow my blog you know that I use it to make cleaning products, beauty products, and even for healthcare.
2. Vinegar- Of course you should always have raw, organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar on hand for its multitude of health benefits. But in this particular post I am referring to just plain, white vinegar. I also get bottles of this at the Dollar Tree because it is a must have for homemade cleaning products and works wonderfully.
3. Hydrogen Peroxide- Another dollar store gem. This is great to use in a homemade toothpaste recipe or to whiten teeth yourself. It can also be used in cleaning products as a safe alternative to bleach.
4. Epsom Salts- Okay, last dollar store item on the list! Epsom salts are great for making a scrub, or making bath salts (not the kind that make you want to eat another's face!) It's also great for a detox bath and helps to replenish the body of magnesium.
5. Lemons- Hopefully you are lucky enough to have some growing in your own backyard, or at least know someone. Otherwise these are cheap and accessible at any grocery store. I love drinking lemon water to start my day and it offers many health benefits. Lemons can be used as a natural bleach alternative for skin, is great at removing blackheads and can be used to make homemade cleaning products.A few of my past posts have been written using these products and are linked throughout this post. Be on the look out for future posts as I am making new things each and every week!
I would love to hear about your top 5 essentials or any ways that you use the above list!
