I missed Fabulous Family Friday, so I thought I’d post it today!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We were busy getting ready for some dear friends to visit for a week–they came from Connecticut Saturday and we are SO enjoying them! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I really wanted to get back to my FFF posts and even had a great idea, but it took Jessica helping me and we just couldn’t connect Friday due to everything else we were trying to do–including Isaiah’s birthday<\/a>, which was also<\/em> Friday! \u00a0 (Is my “baby” really<\/em> five years old?! )<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I thought it would be fun to do a video post! \u00a0I’ll post the recipe I use below so you can copy and paste it if you want, but sometimes seeing a how-to in a video is even more helpful than in pictures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is the homemade toothpaste recipe (not original with me–I just tweaked what I found on the internet):<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4 TB baking soda<\/p>\n

1\/2-1 tsp. celtic sea salt or himalayan salt, ground fine (you can do this in a coffee grinder, mini-chopper or blender)<\/p>\n

Note: I use about 1\/2 tsp. celtic sea salt in the double batch–you can leave this out but it does add minerals!<\/p>\n

2 TB coconut oil (can use olive oil or sweet almond oil, or you can even leave it out and just have a tooth powder)<\/p>\n

Water (optional–if your mixture is too dry, add a little,<\/em> a few drops at a time)<\/p>\n

15 drops total essential oils \u00a0(approximately–as you saw in the video, this isn’t exact!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is what I used, but of course use what suits your family best!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

~8-12 drops peppermint<\/p>\n

~6-10 orange<\/p>\n

~1-3 cassia<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mix together and store in container(s) of your choice. \u00a0To use, wet toothbrush and dip in to get a small amount on the brush. \u00a0Use a bit more water to help it reach all tooth surfaces, rinse well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Note: \u00a0I doubled the above amount in the video.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is a picture of the containers we use, purchased at Wal-Mart, they come in packs of two in the travel toiletries section of the Health and Beauty area.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is Dr. Ray Behm’s site, and right on the homepage you’ll see “The Secret” that I shared about in the video.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Save Your Teeth<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please share in the comments if you have tried making this and what essential oils you used.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also please\u00a0let me know\u00a0if you liked the video “post” and would enjoy more in the future!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keep that smile bright and healthy! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
