How to Make Soap from Ashes - Modern Homesteading If it hadn't been for the help we got from the native old-timers . . . my friend, Dennis, and I would have starved or just plain quit the winter we settled into that abandoned miner's cabin in Alaska. The sourdoughs came to our rescue, though, and soon taught us how to survive on less than $10 a month cash money by trapping, tanning, foraging food and dipping candles from our own tallow and lard. With their generous assistance, we also quickly mastered the fine and easy art of recycling hardwood ashes and left-over kitchen fats into clean, all purpose soap. Soap Making Is Almost Automatic Now, soap making in the woods can be an almost automatic thing. All you really need to turn out the same sort of non-polluting cleanser that our pioneer foremothers scrubbed with, you know, is lye and animal fat. To make lye in the kitchen, boil the ashes from a hardwood fire (soft woods are too resinous to mix with fat) in a little soft water, rain water is best, for about half an hour.

tutorials Recently I've had a lot of requests for a step-by-step on these curls - These curls are done with a flat iron. A huge part of getting your flat iron curls to turn out is using the right kind of flat iron! See a video tutorial for flat iron curls HERE. 1. 3. 5. 7. 9. 11. Lovely flat iron waves! Recommended Products: DIY all-natural eye-emphasizing mascara Mascara is the one cosmetic I wear on a daily basis, and the one item in my regular beauty routine that, up until now, I have still been purchasing ready-made (as opposed to making it in my kitchen). You see, I’ve tried to make my own mascara in the past (oh, have I tried), but all of the recipes called for coconut oil. While this may work outdoors in the wintertime (burr), since coconut oil has a melting point of 76°F, it was constantly smudging all over my face! I love the ingenuity of these DIYs but they were just not working out for me. So I gave up. So I did. Ingredients*: 2 teaspoons of pure aloe vera gel. *Makes 1 tube of mascara Directions: Mix all of the ingredients together until smooth and consistent. To fill the tube, use an oral syringe (these can be purchased at the drugstore for a few dollars and will make the process significantly more simple). That’s it! Unlike the coconut oil DIY mascaras, this mascara dries on the lashes and so does not smudge.
