Concerned Germophobes Unite

Scout knows how often I wash my hands; in colder months they are almost always red and raw.  So when he came across this article on making a natural hand sanitizer with things you already probably have around your house (or at least can easily obtain)  he knew he had to share it with me.

“In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup each of pure aloe vera gel and grain alcohol with 5 drops of tea tree essential oil. To make it smell less pungent, add 5 drops of your favorite fragrance oil. Using a funnel, pour this blend into a bottle small enough to stash in your purse. (Rinse out an empty tube of makeup or lotion to make use of waste.)”

The article also tells you how to make a natural disinfectant for surface areas, so check it out!!
