ANTS!!!!

I have another great money saving tip for you my Luvs. I simply love passing these along to you!!! So this morning I woke up to ants!!! All over my counter!!! Wish I had the thought to snap a pic, so I could share with you how awful it really was. However, that was the last thing on my mind at the time!!! So what did I do? Ahh, you're gonna love this! Vinegar and water, yep that's right as simple as that. Let me show you what it did........I used 1 part vinegar and 3 parts water, in a spray bottle. This is also great for cleaning. Best thing is...No chemicals!!! Have a great weekend my Luvs....and until next time...Simply Live 4 Him!!!

Homemade Laundry Detergent

Ok, so lets get started with some money saving tips....Yay, Right??? Make your own laundry detergent!!! Now I have been doing this for quite sometime and it has saved me loads of money!! Who doesn't love saving money?? The original recipe came from Pinterest, I think, but I have tweaked it a bit to my own liking, so the idea is not originally mine and I'm not trying to take credit for it, just wanting to pass some money saving tips on to you guys. The recipe is very simple ;) and easy to do.. you will need the following: 3 TBS Borax 3 TBS Washing Soda 3 TBS Baking Soda 3 TBS Dishwashing Liquid 1 Large 150 Fluid Oz. Bottle Approx. 4 cups heated water (doesn't have to be boiling just very, very hot) Combine all ingredients and pour in the hot water, do this slowly as to prevent suds. Mix well with a large spoon, (I use a wooden spoon). Once mixed well, pour mixture into your bottle and then gently add warm water again trying to prevent suds, until almost full. Place lid on the bottle and give it a good shake. There you have it, homemade just as good or even better (in my opinion) than the store bought stuff (you know what is in it)... Enjoy my luvs!!! P.S. It is wonderful to have these supplies on hand (they last foreverrrr) any time we are running low I just throw the water on the stove and make more...Simple as that....Have a great day...and Simply Live 4 Him!!!
