This experience is one that I had been wanting to do for a while, and I am so happy I was finally able to work on it and complete it. I am very passionate about health, and using clean products is a crucial aspect in this. Having this booklet that I made will be able to help me continue to remake these recipes in the future, and also help other people to feel confident in making all natural switches.
This project consisted of me researching why conventional products can be harmful to our health, finding recipes online that were alternatives to everyday products, such as lotion and all-purpose spray, making and testing the products, and finally compiling all of the recipes into a booklet to share with others.
This project was so much fun and so rewarding. There was also a lot of learning and problem solving involved in this project as well. It is difficult when you follow a recipe and it does not come out as you thought, for example when I made a lotion and it came out all grainy. This, however, just provides opportunity for thinking outside the box and altering a recipe to fix the problem.
Through this project, I have learned how to make my own products and why they are healthier, as well as how to problem solve when creating a product does not go the way I was expecting. This project has taught me patience, determination, and a growing love for being able to create items from home instead of buying them. I think it is always much more rewarding and fun when you are able to do something yourself.
The PDF for my booklet is down below. I hope you are able to use it and enjoy making your own products as much as I have!
