Hello, I’m Tracy!

I love making my own natural products like soaps and lotions and my own pantry items like yogurt and salad dressings.
Why do I do it? Sometimes to save money, sometimes because it's healthier, but I always love having control of the ingredients!​ My goal is to show you how to make those things too, and why you'd want to! I also am here to try to help you out when you need it!

Oh, the things we'll make!...
