For our first challenge ever we have decided to...make our own toothpaste! Why? Well, it may seem random and insignificant but if you think about it, toothpaste is something we all use every single day, at least 2 times a day (hopefully). Imagine how many toothpaste tubes our population must go through! Also, If you've ever read the ingredients on the back of a toothpaste tube you'd know there are all sorts of chemicals that are being spit down the drain that may be harmful. We started our challenge yesterday (Sunday, March 6th) and will continue until this coming Sunday. If all goes well and we don't have terrible breath/ cavities/ yellow teeth, we hope to make this an ongoing part of our routine. We challenge you to do the same!
Our potion ( a week's supply) :
7 teaspoons baking soda
3 teaspoons of salt ( if you can take it)
4 drops peppermint extract
as much TAP WATER as needed to make a paste.
note: these ingredients can be altered according to personal preference. Also, bottled water does not work, only tap water. Thank you.
Until next time,
Under A Tree
aka Marie-Claire and Hannah
