Wash your hair with baking soda and vinegar, and make your own toothpaste and deodorant. That was my assignment. It's simple and basic. The question I had is, "Why?" This should not have sounded unusual to me, because once I started doing Internet searches, I found posts about it all over the place. But I hadn't thought much about it before. Actually, I hadn't thought at all about it before. The reasons that were consistently given for doing this were: 1) These homemade personal care products are better for you than commercially made products that contain chemical additives you can't even pronounce; 2) it costs a lot less than buying products off the store shelf; and 3) they work better too. Numbers 1 and 2 I believed; the third one I would have to see for myself.
