Piggin' Out

It's official:

I've become obsessed with the whole Swine Flu thing. I don't mind telling you I'm a little freaked out about it all. They've already closed some schools here. The push in emergency prepardness and provident living is all making sense to me now.

In honor of the Swine Flu, I present to you my recipe for homemade anti-bac hand sanitizer:

1/4 cup Pure Aloe Vera Gel
1/4 scant cup Witch Hazel
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
15 drops Tea Tree Oil
Essential Oils:
Grapefruit
Lemon
Sweet Orange
Coconut
Lavender
Rosemary

Mix and match what oils you would like to customize your scent. About 10 drops of what ever you choose should do it. If you want a stronger scent add more. The list above is just suggestions you can use any essential oils that you would like.

This works best if you use a lidded jar to mix the ingredients. Just place all of the above ingredients into the jar and shake in till mixed. Then pour into a small squeeze or spray bottles. I often use empty Bath and Body Works soap bottles. You can also check the travel section at your local store. That's it. Carry it in your purse or send it in your child's backpack for a quick cleaning when water and soap are not available.
