What the heck is a soap nut?  Is it a nut?  Is it soap?  It’s both!  A soap nut is well… a nut that has the saponin chemical constituent.  When you let them sit in water, they turn into a soap that you can use for just about anything!  You can use it the laundry, to […]

Recently I’ve been feeling very pulled by God to change my wardrobe.  But clothes are expensive!!  How are we supposed to change the way we dress on a tight budget?  Let’s talk about it!

It’s Monday night.  You open the refrigerator and realize there is nothing to make for dinner and your hungry husband will be home in an hour.  You rush to the store and have no idea what to buy and then end up spending $100 more than you planned.  Sound like you?  You need to start […]

Don’t you hate going to the store for some basic necessities and spending $100+ dollars on things that only last a month?  Did you know you can actually make almost every single household product that you buy at the store (and it can save you tons of money)?
