DIY Refresh Wipes

IMG_7167For the past couple of weeks, mine and Scott’s evenings have been packed. So we decided we would go to the noon class at crossfit. This way we would be able to get our workout in and do what we needed after work. Here is my only problem with that… I sweat! And I didn’t really want to spend the rest of my day stinky!

Essential Oils to the rescue!

I knew I had a bottle of Cottonelle cleaning cloths around that were no telling how old! So I dumped them out and decided to make my own! This is such an quick and easy DIY version using essential oils. The result is a clean smelling cleaning cloth that leaves you refreshed.

What you will need
* Paper Towels
* Bowl
* Essential Oils of your choice { I used Purification to help eliminate odors and because it helps to moisturize the skin and Lavender because it is a great compliment to beauty products}
* A left over Contonelle carrying case {A ziplock bag may work as well if you don’t have a left over Contonelle case, but I haven’t tried that}

Directions:
Take 20 paper towels and cut then in half making 40
Place in bowl and fill with water just enough to cover paper towels
Add Essential oils and stir water around { I used 10 drops Purification and 10 drops Lavender
Let sit for 30 minutes
Take paper towels out of the bowl and ring out enough water so they are dripping but not enough to dry them out
Store in your left over Contonelle carrying case.

{ Save any remaining water to use for another batch, to put in a spray bottle or use in the diffuser}

– I made these a week and a half a ago and they are still moist and smell of essential oils!

Cottonele Wipes $2.28
DIY Wipes: $1.42 {I have enough water left over for about 2 more batches, So I could really divide that by 3 and it would come out to about $.50 per batch}
Cost breakdown
* Bounty Papertowels: $16 for 12 rolls, $1.33 per roll, $.0075 per sheet
* Purification: $18.75 for 15 ml bottle containing 300 drops, $.06 per drop, $.63 for 10 drops
* Lavender: $23.50 for 15 ml bottle containing 300 drops, $.08 per drop, $.78 for 10 drops

Thieves Line

Ok-let me tell you, Young Livings Thieves products are pretty awesome! I’ve slowly been changing out our products for ones from Young Living, and I can tell I’m loving them so far.
Here is some information on products we use from the Thieves line

IMG_1075

Thieves Dish Soap
+ Thieves® Dish Soap effectively cleans your dishes without chemicals, dyes, or synthetics
+ Young Living pure essential oils—Thieves®, Jade Lemon™, and Bergamot—work with other plant-based ingredients to leave your dishes sparkling clean.
+ A Plant-based formula free of SLS, SLES, dyes, formaldehyde, phosphates and synthetic perfumes

Did You Know: Methylisothiazolinone is a synthetic preservative causing some scrutiny for allergies, and it is found in many “green” household products, including dish soaps. Thieves Dish Soap has no synthetics; every ingredient is naturally derived.

Thieve Laundry Soap
+ Thieves Laundry Soap gently and naturally washes your clothes, leaving them truly clean without any chemical or synthetic residue.
+ Natural enzymes and powerful essential oils add to the formula’s strength to leave your clothes fresh and clean with a light citrus scent.

+ Use 1/2 cup for conventional washers and 1/4 cup for high-efficiency washer, use more as needed for large or heavily soiled loads

Did You Know: Many detergents add optical brighteners to make clothes appear brighter, which has nothing to do with cleaning clothes. Clothes only appear whiter and brighter because these additives reflect blue light, giving the illusion that your clothes are less yellow. These optical brighteners remain in the clothes and are against the skin when worn.

Thieves Household Cleaner
+ This works as an all purpose cleaner and can be used on anything
+ Thieves® Household Cleaner has increased cleansing power and an even safer, more sustainable formulation.
+ Thieves Household Cleaner contains ingredients from renewable plant and mineral sources, vegetable-based surfactants, and even more Thieves and lemon essential oils for extra cleaning power.
