Early in the fall, I knew I was going to be changing a lot of diapers on the go.  That coupled with the H1N1 virus scare, I decided I would make my own hand sanitizer to keep myself and others safe.  I decided to make my own sanitizer so that I knew exactly what went in it.  I am sharing the recipe for anyone who is as do-it-yourself as I am.

5 ounces grain (ethyl) alchol

2 ounces witch hazel

1 ounce water

5 drops tea tree oil

5 drops essential oil of choice

Mix all ingredients together and PRESTO, you have made your own hand sanitizer.  Shake before using to ensure everything has been distributed well.  I have one in a spray bottle in the diaper bag, and it sure has come in handy for me.
