Simple Homemade Dog Toothpaste

When Clementine and Winston ran out of their latest tube of store bought toothpaste, I decided to try and make their next batch to save a little money. I used a simple recipe that called for only salt, baking soda, and vegetable glycerin. I'll admit that I was a little worried they wouldn't like it since I didn't add any sort of meaty flavor to it, but they loved it just as much as their old expensive stuff! Maybe I'll treat them next time and pick...
Homemade Toothpaste, Love It or Leave It?

I recently read an article that put 5 Homemade Toothpaste Recipes to the test, and the author seemed to hate each and every concoction for one reason or another. I'm not sure I even gained any valuable information from the article, but it did leave me with the following questions: Does anyone like homemade toothpaste? Are there any recipes that aren't too salty, harsh, and/or nasty? Should we, as adults, sacrifice taste for performance? All the homemade toothpastes I've tried in the past don't freshen my breath as...

I've been favoriting/hearting things left and right on Etsy lately, and I just can't quit. Below are a few of my favorite health and beauty related discoveries. Good thing my birthday's coming up, right? I've always wanted to cook with lavender, and culinary lavender could make that happen so fast. I'm almost out of my current toothpaste, and shipping for this little guy is free with another item!

I've been trying my best to brush Clementine and Winston's teeth daily, and their new Chicken flavored toothpaste is making that an increasingly manageable task. Clementine thinks she's getting a treat every time she sees her green toothbrush (and sometimes my white one), and Winston no longer objects to the process with cowering and sneezes. I try to avoid using products on my pets that I wouldn't use on myself, so I intentionally chose a toothpaste that was both sulfate and paraben free. Even better, all of the ingredients have have hazard scores no higher than two in...
Lemongrass Oil as a Flea Deterrent

Since the warm weather and the fleas have arrived in Lake Charles (however briefly their stay may be), Clementine and Winston have been a little extra itchy. According to The Complete Book Of Essential Oils & Aromatherapy, lemongrass oil is an effective at deterring and discouraging fleas, and the book suggests mixing a drop with their shampoo. I, of course, had to try this out immediately. Last night, after brushing their tiny teeth with Triple Pet All Natural Toothpaste (which I've been trying to remember to do daily), I gave each of them a lemongrass and...

I've had a cup of Yogi Ginger Tea after dinner for the past three nights, and each time I was pleasantly surprised to find that it actually made me feel less full! I've been a fan of Yogi Ginger Tea for a while (I was actually convinced that I had posted about it at some point, but I searched high and low and found nothing), but only because it's 100% organic and 100% tasty. I never knew it could actually make me hate myself a little less after a meal! I'm not at all promoting a lifestyle of...

In the past, I've encountered natural toothpastes that I love and natural toothpastes that I hate. I've come to realize that trying a new, natural toothpaste is quite the adventure. Until the toothbrush touches my teeth/gums/tongue, I'm not sure if I'm about to discover a new favorite or something so foul that I have to hold my nose to get through a few minutes of tooth-brushing. Ingredients (provided at nutrasanus.com)- “Calcium carbonate, aqua (purified water), vegetable glycerin, sodium cocoyl glutamate, mentha viridis (spearmint) leaf oil, carrageenan, aphanizomenon flos aquae (blue green algae), aloe barbadensis (aloe...

I'm not sure if I've discussed this with you guys before, but I am not one of those people who dreads bathing their dogs. I even enjoy it. I enjoy it so much, in fact, that I decided to post about it. My dogs are so cute that you have to be at least a little interested, right? I wish that I could've gotten some pictures of me brushing their teeth; it's quite the experience (which is probably why I have no...
