Problems Making Homemade Home Products

I used to make a lot of my cleaning products and beauty products.  I became interested in it again recently and went to Cranberry Lane a Canadian company that sells ingredients for soapmaking, beauty products etc..  So I ordered a bunch of ingredients thinking I could make all this stuff.  Well there is a tiny problem.  Not really a problem but more hesitation on my part.  Here is an example of recipes I am talking about.  Now if you look at the antibacterial spray and so forth you see one of the ingredients is vodka or ethanol.  I do have some isopropyl alcohol kicking around but to get vodka I need to go to the liquor store.  Not a problem right?  I am in my 30s but I am 28 weeks pregnant.  In the Yukon every bottle has a label saying you should not drink during pregnancy and there are signs all over the store.  I am not a drinker anyways.  Maybe 4 or 5 in a year and definitely not vodka.  I know I shouldn’t feel hesitant to go into a liquor store obviously pregnant but I ended up asking Brendan to go in and get me some cheap vodka.  He thought it was funny.  I will let you know how things turn out.

    Hi,

    I found your blog on Ravelry and hope everything goes well during your VBAC labor. I’m a labor and delivery nurse in the US and find it interstesting and enlightening how women in other countries have their babies.
