3 Ingredients to Homemade Laundry Detergent

Hello again!

How many of you do laundry? How many of you pinch pennies? How many of you want to combine those two pastimes into one brilliant idea?! Homemade Laundry Detergent! Yes!

I cannot remember the last time I bought detergent, but it wasn’t cheap. Long ago I went on a mission to figure out what I could make myself to save us money, and this was at the top of my list. Two boxes of powder and a bar of soap later, I had a slimy, goopy mess. But boy does it clean!

*There are a million and one ways to do this. We originally came across this on the Duggar’s family website, and since I have seen at least a dozen recipes with the same basic ingredients.*

Just a quick link today to a guy that has saved me tons of money. About a year ago I heard about a guy making his shaving razors last SIX MONTHS! At the price replacements are selling for I figured I’d give it a shot.

The basic premise is to take an old pair of blue jeans and run the blade along it 20 times up and 20 times down. This essential hones the blade before every shave. Also you want to try to dry the razor off as much as possible after each shave to prevent rusting.

Here’s the link to the Instructable with a video. Check it out and enjoy the savings.

Gerber EAB pocket knife

Today I’m going to do a review of the Gerber EAB pocket knife. It’s constructed of stainless steel. Weighs in at 2.2 oz and uses regular contractor blades. The closed length is 2.4 in and open is 4.1. The EAB is liner lock knife.

I picked up the EAB about a year ago when it was on clearance out at a local Walmart. I had heard good reviews on it and at the $10 bucks I spent on it I figured I could not go wrong. Basically it is a very tiny utility knife. By far the smallest and lightest I have seen. I was not disappointed by this purchase at all.

In the Machine Till death

In the machine till death.That’s a phase Ive been thinking about a lot recently. You go to work and work your ass off till you die. Wasting the best years of your life slaving away to make someone else rich. And if your my age you will not see any social security. You’ll have to stay in the system till your old and beaten. Till you your soul-sick of the lifetime of slavery leaves you, That’s exactly why I don’t want. I’m make sure I’m always aware of that simple fact and make sure that I’m striving to gain my freedom from this matrix we are enslaved in. If you are fine with remaining enslaved no need to continue reading. If you however crave your freedom and independence take the red pill and join me
