28 Recipes

People love to DIY these days, have you noticed? Entire websites are devoted to the topic in many cases.

I have to admit that I’ve gotten sucked into the trend as well. In my case, I usually develop a do it yourself way of making something out of necessity. The reason is the lack of quality alternatives at the store. Making things yourself is certainly easier on the budget too.

In this section, you will find plenty of DIY recipes for making a wide variety of health and wellness items for home and kitchen use. These suggestions never make use of short cuts or cheap ingredients, however. That approach, sadly, is for industry, not for homemakers and homesteaders!
