Tangerine Gummies for Radiant Skin
What you’ll need:
1 cup strained (no pulp) tangerine juice (preferably fresh squeezed)
7 Tbsp gelatin (preferably pastured like this one)
4 Tbsp honey (preferably raw)
Silicone molds (these and these are the ones pictured)
Directions:
Bring the juice and honey to a low simmer (don’t let it get too hot as it will kill the probiotic awesomeness of the honey!)
Add the gelatin and mix quickly with an immersion blender or with a whisk and some patience until it’s fully dissolved.
Pour into molds and place in freezer for 20 minutes (for easy transport, place the silicone mold on a cookie sheet).
Take out and enjoy!

Natural Glass Cleaner
Sometimes the best things in life are free… or really, really cheap, like this natural glass cleaner recipe. I’ve experimented with many types of natural cleaners and have finally found natural options that are as good (or better) than conventional cleaners.
This natural glass cleaner was a pretty easy recipe to figure out after I got the tip to use vinegar from a neighbor. Apparently, that is what everyone used in past generations and we’ve just been slow to figure it out. What’s old is new again, I suppose…
This cleaner has a somewhat strong smell that completely evaporates once it dries. I prefer to use microfiber cloth to wipe down the windows now, but old newspapers or t-shirts also work. Just avoid paper towels as they tend to leave lint on them.
Natural Glass Cleaner Recipe:
In a 16 oz or bigger spray bottle (or squirt bottle) mix:
1 pint (2 cups) water
2 tablespoons vinegar
10-15 drops essential oil (optional, but helps the vinegar smell)
Shake bottle and spray on windows. Use crumpled newspaper or cotton cloth to wipe off.
NOTE: If you have always used commercial window cleaner in the past, mix a couple drops of liquid castille soap or liquid dish soap in some of this mixture the first time you clean the windows to remove detergent residue.
