Beauty Product Savings!

How much money can you really save by making your own health and beauty products?

I HAVE SAVED TONS! I went from spending 138.47 per month to spending 6.46 per month! 

That's more than 1600 dollars a year to less than 80 dollars a year! It's kind of amazing!!! 



Sidenote: so where's the spare 1500 bucks? I don't know. I've been looking around the house for it...

Other side note: I look much better than I ever have. My skin is clear for the first time in my adult life, and my hair is shiny and healthy.
