DIY Shampoo is an easy and inexpensive way to make sure you know exactly what ingredients are in your hair care products. These shampoos and “conditioners” are very simple to make and effective to use. They will not be “creamy” or solid, so I use them in a spray bottle.

Henry Ford and Choosing Our Attitudes Although Henry Ford technically didn’t invent the automobile, he revolutionized the industry. Developing the assembly line is arguably his greatest contribution to creating an industrialized world. In our modern time, I might argue that one of his quotes can revolutionize our lives today. “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t–you’re right.” -Henry Ford Simply stated, but with a powerful impact, Henry
