Using Leftover Candle Wax For Gifts
By Ana

All Natural Leather Cleaner and Conditioner
By attosa
This is a fabulous all-natural 2 ingredient leather cleaner and conditioner. All you need is one part olive or coconut oil and one part white vinegar. You can make a spray or shake it in a bottle, then use a small amount to clean and condition. Use a soft cloth to spread it around in small circles.
