Denim was originally made with hemp-- very comfortable. It was developed in Nimes, France, hence the name De Nimes (from Nimes).
We have used them for hairwash for thousands of years. Thats how we used to shower as kids
Thank you for the great explanation!
Hey i find ur channel today I feel ur journey with videos so real i loved it if u want to any other business I can help you with my digital marketing skills if you interested we will build a sustainable brand,,
you can also use this as body wash
How much water you used in the beginning? Is it 22.5 like it is mentioned in the script?
yes
What is the preservative you’re using?
Any water soluble preservative will work. I am using biogard.
Upto how many days I can Store this liquid
If you use a preservative, up to a year. Without one i would use it within a week.
Hello, my first time to your channel, I enjoyed the video. That would save me some money, Iwould like to make some of those towels. What is each of those materials your using?
Natural materials work best. I use cotton in this video.
Hey Mom, you strike me as a sincere person and probably an excellent gardener as well. If you had a choice between feeding your own children pasta grown in chemically treated soils and sprayed with Roundup (glyphosate) just ten days before harvest vs pasta grown in organically groomed soils, which would you choose? I rest my case.
I most like myth 3 its like this video, is it 95% true, 70% true, mostly around 50/50.
Evil video GMO is man-made toxic food instantly unsubscribe from this ignorant channel SMH
Lol, get real with yourself. You sound like a shill for big pharma with the vaccines. Ye ye ye, you over intellectualising it something proper.
Do you not need Poly 80?
I think the bums 50 helps with the dispersing of the oils
Btms 50 works better. Poly 80 is not something i work with. I think it is most used for stuff like bath oils.
Ecoli poisoning isnt as big of a deal since you can just cook the food I guess try to avoid eating stuff raw
There is no need to eat plants, EVER!
Yeah, because you are able to synthetize your own vitamin C, right?
@@PhilippeOrlando Vit C id not measured in meat but it's there in sufficient quantities. Actually liver contains more than an apple. you don't need liver however to get enough Vit C if you cut the carbs. Vit. C competes with glucose in uptake, that's why plant eaters need way more Vit C. Napoleon used meet of killed horses against scurvy for his soldiers. Not a single scurvy case in carnivore community yet.🤣
Hey what do these animals u eat,eat?
@@saileshkhemka Actually they leave that to the gut bacteria. Coming out of the trees and eating almost no plants made us bad hind gut fermenters. Even our ancestors in the trees sometimes have to recycle their poop to get enough nutrients. I have no intention to do the same.
A lot of really great info. Can you do a video about how to profit from a blog?
I could but this channel isn't the right place for it. This video will only remain online as long as my shop is open.
@@GreenHappyMom Noted and thanks.
❤thanku for the truthful information ❤
What did you shove up your nose?
Or, shove a nail up your nose! Like you did. OMEFFINGEEZ!
The problem is that everybody that sells what you sell, their product is advertised on your page. They should only allow one store owner to sell that product, copycats can not be allowed to open shop to eliminate competition for same type of items on platform. It's good for customer to have different price range, but hurts all the sellers' profit combined.
".....they are made by chinese people, yes, by hands".......IN A MANUFACTURING SETTING where each person does only 1 step in the production!! They are not handmade!! All serious handmade sellers should leave etsy or people should start a petition to remove the word "handmade" from the Etsy name.
I'm so happy that this decision has brought you peace of mind! That is worth so much. 🙏
Algo que no mencionan es la diferencia con una lavadora de carga frontal con una de las de carga arriba, debe ser diferente.
I think you are right but I don't know how it will differ regarding cleaning power of a detergent. All the tests I have done are with the same washing machine and the same laundry cycle to make sure the only difference is the detergent.
I appreciate that you acknowledge that the products from China are also handmade but in a larger scale. However, I wish they used their hands to make more original products instead of ripping off small and imaginative makers. Following what makes you happier is a good compass.
So true and thanks
I wish you'll find your peace and joy again this your new activity.. Good luck
Thanks
I find all comments by people selling online interesting. Thank you for sharing this. The market targeted has to be very specific, effort required to produce something related to the time it takes and the time available needs to be considered, thought must go into processes initially and how to trim these to the point of maximum efficiency. One tends to have a feeling that the product you're producing is special, so perhaps one needs to become realistic regarding this and realise that the spin you put on it is the special part, as well as that others may be better set up. Space is always a priority, therefore one starts to limit the product scope and plan space. I congratulate you on being an incredibly accomplished person.
Thank you so much for the kind words💚
Aliexpress products have no quality whatsoever. I'm glad you're turning your business around. Sometimes you need to turn the page. I wish you very good luck 💪💪💚💚
Thank you so much 💚
Yes I see a lot of companies selling on etsy and not all handmade
Yeah lot of company also directly resell for aliexpress or alibaba.
Have you heard about Mercari? I love it and recently it stopped charging any fees from sellers. I don't do business and just occasionally sell/buy new or secondhand stuffs to try zero waste. I love this platform so much and recommend. Best Wishes!!!
Yes it can break hair
Thanks for your feedback
Don’t have to boil them if you’re going to crush them a lil and soak them overnight.
Thanks for the feedback.
Greate video thanks :D So where can one find Bamboo Linen ? i would like to buy men underwear, t shirt and bed sheet of it ?
try etsy bit.ly/3vSNRWy
Good when those were widely available
some are getting more common but it is a slow process unfortunately.
your videos are wonderful
Thanks 💚
Does it really clean hair? What if I have a lot of oil on my hair does it remove it ?
It cleaned my hair but I have dry skin that doesn't produce lots of oils so my hair doesn't get very oily. I can't say if it would clean your hair sufficiently as your hair is very different from mine.
Lol this thing was mentioned centuries ago in india😂😂😂
Don't know how to sew and don't have a sewing machine do you have any that doesn't require sewing?
I don't recommend handsewing you need to edges properly sewn to avoid fraying
great video! it shws it isn't great for stains however you did put a lot in that washer and it doesn't work well unless there's lots of room to move around (or so they say)/ please do this test using baby wipes which have been used for their intended purpose. if there's no smell afterward, I'll be switching to ecoegg!
I don't recommend the eco-egg for cloth diaper and items that are similarly soiled. The eco egg doesn't have enough cleansing power to get those properly clean. I use the eco ego for my dark clothes but not for kids clothes because it isn't strong enough to remove stains.
One valid question that nobody talks about. Surely, during the rinse cycle the Egg will carry on using so a residue must still be on the washing. Please advise.
Good point. Never thought of that. My skin is not bothered by any residues left due to this washing method by I can imagine that this is not the case for everyone.
Thanks for the info. Happy Easter.
You are welcome. Happy Easter to you too 💚
Thanks, lots I never heard of.
I am happy to help
I had an opportunity to purchase solar panels, so I did. We have tax rebates in New York, so it was less expensive - I would love for them to be affordable for everyone. It has an app that shows energy used and generated. Renewable makes a big difference. Always consider production, install, and end ofblife impacts, though. ❤
That sounds amazing.

I have seen ground covers that don't need ot be mowed and need much less water.
That's amazing! What were the covers made of?
I usually see clover or vintage ground cover plants in the northeastern US. They make a big difference in water and fertilizer use.
Thank you for sharing! I don't like the smell of food on my clothes. So, I have to wait till my flatmates finish cookimg before I cook mine. I'll try one of your methods soon.
I'm glad to help 💚
Come to Bharath.. ull get many healthy life styles
This is great idea. I was going to make either a draw string bag or attach some ties but I like this idea. The bag looks very nice, french seams would be easy to do and when it's time to wash it, there are no strings or ties to get tangled in the washing machine. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks. Good luck with your project!
Oeko tex standard 100 certification is something to look for when buying rayon/viscose made from bamboo.
Great tip. Thanks
Can you explain why?
Algae energy sounds so cool!
I’m surprised with the comments that laundry sheets don’t clean well. I’ve been very happy with mine although I don’t use the Tru Earth brand. Too expensive. I use a brand made in my area, Eco Living Club. I find they are better value. I agree that the sheets don’t take out stains. But neither did my liquid plastic jug detergent. I have to use a stain remover and soak. I like that they save space. I don’t have a lot of room. Although, I’m hearing PVC is in them and it’s not eco friendly. But accounts seem to diff on that.
I should note that I don’t have children. I do laundry for my partner and myself. On occasion I’ve had to use 1.5 sheets for a dirty load.
I also found mixed sources about plastic in laundry sheets so I use a mix of different detergents. I use a strong detergent for cloth diapers, kids clothes and undergarments but for delicates or my boyfriend or my clothes I use an eco-friendly detergent like sheets or the eco egg (whichever is on discount when I need new ones).
