Anyway, I bought Castile soap at the health/natural foods store on Sherwood... I don't remember the name, it's by the Sylvan learning center. Washing soda we found only at one store, can't remember which! And whatever store that was we had to get Borax somewhere else. Good thing you only have 3 stores to trial and error with (and I want to say the commissary didn't have it)! <br /><br />The bar soap, if you use to use Fels Naptha or Zote, as opposed to Ivory, we had to order online when we lived in nowhere TX that didn't have it in the laundry aisle, and soapsgonebuy.com was FABULOUS! You might also get good rates on Castile soap through amazon or going through Dr. Bronner's website too. It can be pricey, but is well worth it when you start learning about the benefits! Happy soaping :-DCheriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08265662227412043695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-38852041125566504772010-08-20T12:52:50.583-07:002010-08-20T12:52:50.583-07:00There are a couple of brands of Castille Soap list...There are a couple of brands of Castille Soap listed in the book. They are called:<br /><br />Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap<br />Kirk's Castile Bar Soap<br />Kirk's Castile Liquid<br />Vermont Liquid Castile Soap<br /><br />It looks like a brand is available in health food stores, bed and bath stores, GNC, Rite Aide<br />and on-line.<br /><br />It seems to be becoming very popular with the 'go green' movement. I live far a way from civilation and so I have not had a chance to go and buy it yet. <br /><br />Crazy if you live in Nowhere, Texas then I live in A Galaxy Far, Far Away, Idaho. : )Being A Mother Who Knowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13989126074756517909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-212817186217984262010-08-20T10:21:37.519-07:002010-08-20T10:21:37.519-07:00Printing these up.

Isn't it funny how we think we need all of these products, but simple age-old things like vinegar and baking soda a re really all we need.<br />Life can really be so simple.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416436228173197240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-113647239568938571.post-83862943296147994382010-08-20T05:44:55.369-07:002010-08-20T05:44:55.369-07:00Thanks for these recipe's I'm always looki...Thanks for these recipe's I'm always looking for new ones to try out!buzy beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03656264827437774435noreply@blogger.com
