Make sure you have plenty of money saved for your dental bills. I used homemade toothpaste for two years and ruined my teeth in the process. It's costing me a small fortune now to rebuild the enamel and deal with all the other issues caused by it.

Tessie, this a great way to save money making tooth paste and Vicks salve a good winter project for those times when you can't get out and just to keep busy I have just used baking soda with a little warm water at times :-) Love you my sister :-) God Bless You and Ken :-)

Hello. 😊

Just got back from Church. Already Sunday here in Australia. God bless.

I may buy that book. I like the idea of making my own toothpaste. Also just a really informative video today 😊

Thanks for this video! I just brushed my teeth with homemade tooth-powder. Made with baking soda, a little sea salt, and finely crumbled spearmint. I just pour a little tooth-powder into the palm of my clean hand and dip the moistened toothbrush. Smells wonderfully minty but has just a, slightly, minty taste and leaves my mouth feeling clean. Never going back to store-bought toothpaste.

Great book. My tomatoes are finished. Had the last of Swiss chard for dinner tonight. Thanks for the video.

I am so grateful for your knowledge and the fact you share it.

Enjoyed watching you make toothpaste and vapor rub salve.

I love your pictures 🎉 from olden days at project beginnings and music clips.

Thank you so much for the recipes Tessie 🙏🙏🙏

I just enjoy what you share so much. I always learn so many money saving tips from you. It is so good getting back to the basics and simple way of living and you teach me so much on this channel. Your amazing Tessie!

I am making applesauce and apple jelly this next week. I don't have any grapes this year.

Wow! I was amazed making toothpaste and Vicks salve!! I love homemade jelly and grape juice!

Learned how to make Grape Juice jelly in Home Ec. class, way back when. We used Welch's grape juice!

I love your homemade remedies. My grandmother made ginger poultices, for pain relief. Instead of using BenGay or muscle rubs. I can't remember how she made them. She used silver dollars and dimes for cuts and scrapes. Just either held them or taped them in place. Thank you for sharing your chest rub and toothpaste

Hi Tessie you have the sweetest coziest home God Bless You 😊

Nice jelly idea, not sure about using sodium bicarb on teeth. It might be too abrasive on your tooth enamel. Just thinking about how effective sodium bicarb is scouring surfaces. Cheers

I agree with what you say about the old ways. Also correct about enjoying. AC and your own company.

Ms Tessie - Consider networking among the zillion people you know for some of those larger glass jars. True, those closer to you may not be dancing atop tables towards the end of a night at the local tavern, but I'm going to guess that some of the folks at those big, monthly community produce and other item give aways work in the restaurant trades or know folks who do. Big pickle jars, gallon pickled egg jars, and the like are what you need.

Great video.... awesome on the toothpaste. I've been making a tooth powder for about 15-20 years. It's a recipe that my grandmother gave me and it's is so easy....also make a simple mouthwash with clove oil. Our gardens are pretty much done as well. And, we are preparing for fall and winter ...as well as taking care of hubby who just had shoulder router cuff surgery Thu so he is down for 6 weeks pretty much. Have great day

Hi, Tessie! That salve must smell incredible. I love the idea of making toothpaste and a more natural version of Vicks. The tutorials and recipes so helpful; I'll be giving these a try for sure. We're shifting to all-things-fall here, too. It's such a cozy time of year. 🍂

Great video. Can also add cinnamon and clove in not able to use mint for the toothpaste. Thank you. 🥰

Mint makes my nose run I use cinnamon 😊

I wish I could afford a distiller, I’d make my own essential oils

The salve idea is great! As you mentioned be careful if you have sensitive skin. I do but I love that combo of scents!

Some things can easily made by our selves. For quite some years in The Netherlands we have a few books which would be translated as 'Grandma knows what to do', there is even an internetpage with recipes or old fashion solutions. I have a few from those books, and when there is a 'problem' I first visit that page or look it up in a book before buying a commercial product. The older I get the more I use those old tricks and making a lot of things from scratch.

I have made your grape jelly, but I sure need to make some more. Thanks for the inspiration.

Tessie I loved all the recipes you used today for all the projects. I still have a bunch of canning of stuff I threw into the freezer until the weather cooled down. I'm going to use your Vicks recipe today as I battle congestion between sinus drainage and allergies. You look radiant as well. Have a blessed day friend

Great video, homemade grape juice sounds delicious 😋

Fun video. Thank you, Tessie.

Thanks again for the great recipes. How long will the canned grape juice last? I thought it had to be water bath canned for safety.

Toothpaste recipe

Missed this one...glad to find it!

Tessie, I have followed you for several years and I love you, but I need to make a recommendation to you to be careful with suggesting essential oils in recipes. Remind everyone to use only a safe amount (to look the dilution rate up for each oil used). I have had friends suffer severe burns to the skin, one internally in the digestive system when they have used essential oils at too high of a dilution rate. You might want to add a disclaimer to the videos that you post that contain the use of essential oils. Peppermint is a very concentrated essential oil, meaning, it can burn the skin easily, and people are often sensitive to it. Menthol, camphor, and eucalyptus are the main essential oils used in the rubs that help with breathing, be very very careful with the dilution rate of those as well. Thank you for your beautiful videos...they are enjoyed!

I was just trying to start homesteading… had a mobile home fire… lost all my seeds… everything in kitchen…

What a well timed video Tessie, I had just put toothpaste on the shopping list😅 i have all the ingredients so going to have a go at making it for a lot cheaper than the shop brought one, thanks again tessi x

You got a lot accomplished and it's always a good feeling not to be forced to use the store bought with fluoride and chemicals. I make my own tooth powder and shake it onto my brush from a glass salt shaker which looks prettier than a toothpaste tube. The fewer ready made products we need to depend on, the better and having recipe books like the one you showed is important. Great video, thanks!

Love that your making tooth paste! I’ve been doing this off an on for several years. I really like the powdered tooth cleaner also, with a bunch of remineralizing minerals, bentonite clay, xylitol to fight bacteria, trace minerals, etc I like thieves in it to fight all kinds of stuff. It’s so thought you would be using your Vicks plant, I thought this will be interesting. I was wrong about the plant lol. I’m surprised you don’t get invigorated with the peppermint, it perks me up :)

Hey Tessie. I'm starting a notebook on all of the homemade products you show us. I thought i could remember the toothpaste for sure. But i could not remember anything but the baking soda. Also i dont need to think i can go back later and look things up because we may not have power or cell service etc. So I think i need a notebook now. The vicks rub is good for more than just a chest rub... I rub it on my dry feet then put socks on and it gives you soft feet after 15 or 20 mins. I also heard it you rub it on your feet at bedtime with socks it helps the cough. Now i dont know for sure how well that works but i will try it when i get a cough. The old fashion grape juice is easy to make but you need to wait a few weeks to drink it but it is still like a prepping item everyone can do way ahead of time if they have grapes and jars. Very good teaching video tonight. Thank you my sisterfriend 👍🤗💙🙏🍇

Hi Linda🤚

Tess I think you are amazing however I just can’t buy all those items that you mention I buy cheap toothpaste for 1.25 .

I didn’t think of canning coconut oil, I must do that. Thanks for sharing.

Another wonderful video! The last dentist I went to, maybe slightly more natural, the hygienist said that then(in 2018)the last 5-10 years toothpaste has gotten worse. Terrible chemicals, etc. She actually recommends oil pulling with coconut oil in the morning before eating or drinking, and then only brushing your teeth with water. Sometimes I brush with colloidal silver(I make my own), but I don't always do that. The new dentist I now go to has no idea that I don't use toothpaste. Its been almost 7 years since I've used any. For any coffee stains I might get, I use a little baking soda on a q-tip and rub it off. Side note, the last place I went to said I had 9 cavities. None of them are there anymore! Thank you, Jesus! I do have 2 small ones that he's watching, but its been 1.5 years now and no mention of needing to fix them. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos.

You are a wealth of knowledge. I want to get some of those essential oils Teesie.😊

Check out one of your local restaurants that uses pickles, jalapenos, ect... That will give you the gallon glass jars free or for a small fee. You can add activated charcoal when making your own tooth paste.

Thanks for sharing Barefoot Tessie 💚💜

Tessie your always making neat things ❤❤
