I recently tried the baking soda shampoo and ACV conditioner idea that's been written about on this site, and it's amazing! Great results from inexpensive, natural products I already had around the house. So, now that my bottle of store-bought shower gel is running low I thought I'd better pick my farmgirl sisters' brains. Do any of you make your own? Any tips or recipes you've had particular success with? I want to jump into this farmgirl lifestyle with both feet, literally! :)

I'm about to try the baking soda/acv for my hair! Hope it goes well, I know it may take a week or two for my hair to adjust. I'm very interested in body wash. Right now I use Dr. Bonners castile soap (watered down) for my shower "gel" but I don't care for it, mostly just because it doesn't smell very good and isn't very rich (no lather). Hope someone has more ideas!

I love making my own products. I am planning on making some of this body wash hopefully this week.

I've seen recipes to make your bar soap into hand soap...

Amy, thanks for sharing the youtube video. It looks like a really great recipe...do let me know if you try it. Now I want to check out some of the other vintage remedies/recipes on that youtube channel.
