Spring is officially here! I took this photo a couple weeks ago. The cherry blossom trees have now lost their beautiful blossoms and are now sprouting leaves! I love the change in season.
Appropriately, spring cleaning has been something of an ongoing task lately. Not only have I been keeping a cleaner apartment in general, I've also been tossing things that I don't use or need. Getting rid of the excess stuff is just a preliminary step in the moving process for me personally. And, I'm excited to report that I've been actively house hunting. I just have to find the right one for the right price.
Today, I tried something I've never done before. I made and used my own all purpose cleaner! It's no big thing really when it comes down to it. But, it feels good to be able to say that not only am I doing something good for my wallet, I'm also doing something healthy for my living environment and therefore, my body. I found the below recipe online. And, while I didn't use essential oils, I do plan to pick some up and add them in the next time I make this. Though, the smell of vinegar reminds of dying Easter eggs. :)
Recipe:
1 Cup Water
1 Cup White Distilled Vinegar
2 tsp Dish Soap or Castile Soap
10 drops Lemon essential oil
10 drops Lavender essential oil
Combine all the ingredients in a spray bottle, spray, and wipe.
Not for use on Travertine or Marble.
