Simple Homemade Wipe Solution

By -

These cloth wipes solutions work so great for us and so, so simple to make. We cloth diaper 75% of the time (with the exception of when we go out and overnight), but use these diapers 95% of the time (exception being when we are out and about). They smell wonderful and leave my daughter's bottom looking and feeling soft and supple.

We use these wipes and wash them with our cloth diapers every 2-3 days. I used an old wipe container and make this solution about once a month. After I fill up my spray bottles, I pour whatever solution is left over into the wipes container. This helps keep the wipes moist, but not completely wet. When we wipe her bottom for a diaper change, I spray a little extra on the wipes and its good to go. These wipe solution is SO easy to make and so cost effective; not to mention Earth friendly as well. I really hope you give these a try!

Ingredients:



Method:

  • Mix all ingredients in a sterilized container and pour into sterilized spray bottle. I use two glass bottles.


*You can use any soap of your choice, even the one you give your baby a bath with will work. I love using Castile soap because I always have it around and it uses organic oils. I use the BEST ingredients I can afford because this is something we use daily and we use it on our little one so its important that there aren't any pesticides or unwanted chemicals in the solutions.

**The cooking oil I use is organic and I use on her body after each bath anyway. You can use organic olive oil or any oil that you would put on your babies body. The way I see it, if I can eat it, I can use it on her body without harm.

The essential oils are optional. Research safe usage as there are certain oils that shouldn't be used on children. As with all other ingredients, use one that is a good quality, organic, and pure. If you are unsure, then just omit them. I use a couple of drops of lavender in one bottle and a couple of drops of rosemary in another. I love the way they smell and the smell doesn't seem to linger around on the little one's bottom.

Play around with different combinations of the oils and soaps to find which you like best and which works best for you and your baby.

On a cold day, nothing beats a plate of hot bhajias with some cha (tea). Growing up, we had these as after school snacks from the ("gadi la") cart vendor, smothered in tamarind sauce. It was such a delightful treats, one that I clearly didn't start appreciating until moving away from Fiji. Even today, whenever I bite into these bhajias, I always remember those fond memories of my primary school days. Ahhh.. the "gadi la admi" (cart vendor guy) made childhood lovely! Ingredients: 1 cup gram flour/chickpea flour/besan 1 cup all-purpose flour  1 teaspoon baking powder  1/4 teaspoon turmeric  1/2 teaspoon carmon seeds (ajwain) 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera) 1 cup finely sliced onions 2 cups chopped spinach (measured after its cut) 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro  4-5 cloves of garlic, crushed  chili pepper to taste  1 teaspoon salt  water (enough to make a dropping batter consistency) neutral-flavored oil for frying (I used canola) Method: Heat oil in a ...

Fiji Style Barfi | Milk Powder Barfi | How to Make Burfi   Barfi, Burfi or Doodh La Barfi, is a popular sweet in Fiji, especially during Diwali! With a few simple ingredients, this milk fudge is melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Although the ingredients and even the recipe itself is quite simple, the challenge usually lies in the syrup. Honestly, it took me a few tries (more like 10) to get this barfi down. In my video below, I’ve shared some tips on when to know that the syrup is ready. It may take you a few tries, but once you have this down, I promise you, you will be making it every Diwali, if not multiple times in the year!  This delicious sweet is a must have for wedding festivities as well. Although quite similar to the ones made in India, if you grew up eating Fiji style barfi, you’ll feel something “missing” when you get the barfis at the Indian stores.  I hope you give this recipe a try! If you do, please snap a pic and share it on my social media!...
