This week I started shifting how I provide for my home—not just through food, but through what I use in it every day.
Instead of buying another cleaner, I began with something simple:
Fresh lavender from my garden.
🌿 What I used:
- Fresh lavender
- 70% rubbing alcohol
- Water
- 2 drops of dish soap (I used lemon verbena)
🧪 Step 1: Infusion
- Place fresh lavender into a glass jar
- Cover completely with 70% rubbing alcohol
- Seal and store in a cool, dark space
- Let it infuse for 7 days
🧴 Step 2: Turn it into a cleaner
- Strain the infused liquid
- Mix with water (adjust based on strength preference)
- Add 2 drops of dish soap
✨ What I use it on:
- Granite countertops
- Stone tile
- General household surfaces
🧠 Why this matters:
This isn’t just about making a cleaner.
It’s about:
- knowing what’s in your home
- reducing unnecessary chemicals
- creating something safe and effective
🔁 The bigger shift:
For a long time, I focused on:
✔ healthy food
✔ movement
✔ routines
Now I’m expanding that into:
👉 how I clean
👉 what I use
👉 what I can make myself
👇 If you’re starting:
Keep it simple.
That’s how this builds.
👉 If you try this, share it in the community—I’d love to see what you’re making.
