Get a jar (I used an old pasta sauce jar) and add a few inches of water.
I put a rubber band around mine because they kept falling into the sides of the jar. Put your onions by a window and change the water out everyday. In around 5 days, you should get results like this:
I thought to make a post on what me and my WHOLE family does when it’s close to the near year. We do this so that we welcome in good luck, abundance and prosperity along with wealth. It’s something that mainly my mom’s side has done for a very long time and good things happen from it (I also called this what to do for the new year as a spiritual person because me and my mom’s side of the family come from a long line of spiritual family members!)
So first off!
Go through your shit Like seriously. Get rid of things you no longer want or need. Like clothes, nick nacks, jewelry etc. Throw things away that is trash!
Organize make things more nice and neat within your room/home. go through things to find out what needs to be taken out, trashed or placed somewhere else.
Clean now with cleaning… You gotta do some serious shit. Make sure the dish washer is always empty and no dishes are in the sink (as best as you can). Your bed is made, your bath room is nice and clean, No piling trash etc. The point is, you have to try and stay clean as much as you can until it’s finally the new year and new month. Also wash your bedding and curtains if you have any.
Cleanse my grandmother would make flour washes to welcome in prosperity and abundance. She (and my mom when she was younger) would even wash the walls too. You can play music, light a candle, burn incense, use sage, holy water, you can even use perfume or colonge to cleanse your place.
Keep it looking spotless until the new year!
Something to note:
Now this is optional but is VERY helpful. My mom told me if you wish you can dedicate your place to who ever you work with. That your home is their’s as well. That you promise to keep it clean as possible in their honor for you know they don’t like dirty things.
You could possibly even ask them to help bring in prosperity and abundance if you promise to keep the place clean in their honor most of the time.
Cleanliness is next to godly-ness
Another thing, My grandmother would always buy new bedding and curtains and other stuff. In with the new and out with the old basically.
Celebrate the new year with your spirit friends, guardians or deities!

Eureka, I think we’ve done it! After several not so great DIY laundry detergent attempts, I think I’ve found one that actually works! I went back to my copy of Becky Rapinchuk’s “The Organically Clean Home” and whipped up a small batch of her lemon and clove powdered laundry soap. Now that it’s done and the results are in, it makes so much more sense that a DIY powdered detergent would be easier to put together as the most difficult thing I’ve experienced so far about DIY liquid dish and laundry detergents is getting the right consistency and ensuring that ingredients stay suspended (so you don’t have to keep shaking and shaking the bottle). With a powdered detergent, these issues cease to exist.
So, without further ado, may I present this lovely powdered detergent recipe to clean off all those messy Thanksgiving stains on your pretty linens!
The ingredients, adapted from Rapinchuk’s recipe: - 1 bar of Castile soap, I used a Dr. Brommer’s unscented bar - 2 cups of Borax - 2 cups of washing soda - 1 cup of baking soda - 30 drops of a mixture of essential oils of your choice. I chose 20 drops of lavender for the calming scent and 10 drops of geranium oil, because it is a very pretty rosey scent, but also helps to repel pests like ticks.
Step 1: Grate the bar soap into the container you’ll be using. I used a large glass jar that I picked up at T.J. Maxx. This process takes awhile, so put on your favorite radio station or tv show and grate away. You can also do this in a food processor if you have one.
Step 2: Add the rest of your ingredients to your jar and mix. Step 3: Sit back in satisfaction with the knowledge you’ve just made your own laundry detergent!
To use: Use 1 tablespoon of the mixture for HE machines and 2 tablespoons for regular machines.
I was surprised with how little of the detergent is necessary for a load, but it works! Clothes came out spotless and smelling nice and without any soap residue. Highly recommend!
Whyyy though? All I wanted was to take a picture of my pretty jar! Beast.
