Ooey, Gooey, Toothpaste

Yep, I did it.  I made toothpaste.  I made some in the past and it was...alright.  I actually made lime flavored as hubby isn't a fan of mint anything, and he didn't like it.  I didn't think it was bad. 

I had a ridiculously busy day and spent an absurd amount of time and energy at our local craft store.  By the time I got home we put a movie on for my daughter as she was tired and hungry.  We share TV/computer so I not longer was able to access the computer for inspirations and/or instruction for a project.  I was feeling pretty overwhelmed and dejected, so I *gasp* prayed.  Maybe something silly to pray about but in my prayer I reflected on how I really want this overall project and all these projects to better my life, not making me feel worse.  Within seconds it hit me like lightening that I could make toothpaste as I had everything I needed, had made it before so didn't need to consult a recipe (although it would have been helpful), and best of all it was quick and easy. 

Beautiful isn't it?  I know it's not, quite disgusting looking actually.  Feeling now completely dejected I thought I'd try  it out.  Low and behold it's not bad, I would actually say it's decent.  It was surprising sweet and had a fine mouth feel.

I didn't measure anything but I used:  baking soda, vegetable glycerin, coconut oil, bentonite powder, vit D drops, spearmint oil, and salt.
