Does anybody make their own ANYTHING anymore?

No homo, but I use my own conditioner. A about a month and a half ago I discovered the egg/mayo/olive oil treatment joint, so I got to thankin', "shit, why can't I make my own shit?" and it works for me.

coconutmilk/egg/olive oil mixed together and put in my hair after I wash it. Put on my shower cap and let it sit for an hour or two while I'm reading, studying, or watching TV that night. Then I wash it out and then follow up with a store bought conditioner to get rid of the smell. My hair been wavy as fuck ever since. Maybe not wavy, but it's no longer dry and brittle.

I do...I sew & crochet.

I breastfed & made my own baby food & used cloth diapers (for a lil bit) when I had kids..

Use natural/home remedies for a lot of things like beauty, medicine & cleaning.

I tried my own garden but it didnt work out. I do want one of those topsy turvy things.

Making soap tho..never tried that.

I did my first garden this year. Planeted cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, and some swiss chard. Veggies that are pretty easy to grow. I can do some simple sewing like hemming, but that's it. I've made my own soap once, but I didn't use it. I just had it in my bathroom for decoration. I also make my own scrubs and facial masks cause it's cheaper....

Um no....there are perks to living in the age we do.

I can sew a button and hem some pants though! :)

I cook all the time. I can sew a button and hem my own pants. I can also plant a garden and I'll slaughter a animal for cooking. My mother still cleans her own fish sometimes if my uncle comes by with whatever he caught that day. Shit, it was another thread were dudes say they will call Triple A to come change a flat tire for them smh. And I do still write letters sometimes

I cook almost every day for my family
I don't sew that much other than mending a button or a hem
I have a salsa garden with tomatos, onions, garlic, jalapenos, and cilantro. Plus I grow herbs like rosemary lemon thyme and lavender, also fruits like strawberries and I have a small lemon tree. I tried to grow watermelons but they never got that big... maybe the size of a softball.
I do pottery so most of my bowls are hand made/hand painted

Never made my own soap but I make natural face masks all the time. I've made some hair masks and bath salts in the past too

Not me, I'm a single guy but my mom always had a garden when we were little, and tried to cook us fresh stuff all the time. Don't know about the other stuff.
