When I stayed at a fancy-pants hotel in Vancouver last year, I remember thinking that I loved their refillable shampoo, conditioner and body wash pumps . I hate throwing away all those tiny, half-used bottles – it seems like such a waste. We throw away SO MUCH garbage in this country, and only 5-10% of the plastic ever makes it to a recycling center. And even if it gets recycled, it usually ends up in a landfill or in our lakes and oceans at some point. Plus, when you recycle a plastic bottle only 10-20% of it can actually be successfully recycled and what is recovered is often downgraded into another form of single use plastic. According to National Geographic, if we don’t change our ways by 2050 there will be 12 BILLION metric tons of plastic in landfills and waterways. There will be more plastic than fish in the ocean! Say what? That’s a staggering amount of destruction to our planet. Above is a pic of Maui, Hawaii, from my birthday trip in April. Can we PLEASE keep our oceans look

15 Germiest Places in Your House You Need to Clean -- but Don't

Image
August 14, 2017 No matter how well we clean, our homes are full of bacteria, germs, dirt, and all kinds of invisible particles. If there were an easy way to quantify just how many there are, even the most blasé among us would make a swift shift to full-on germaphobe mode. The germiest places in your kitchen, for instance, are objects and spots you should really clean regularly to stop harmful bacteria from flourishing. But how often do you wash out the vegetable drawer in your kitchen or sanitize the water dispenser? When was the last time you washed the knobs on your stove or washed out your knife block? A month ago? A year ago? Never? Oops. ")}; If you’re grossed out by all of the germs and bacteria that might be lurking in your kitchen, you should know there are plenty of other places for such organisms to hide in your home. And, like those random nooks and crannies in your kitchen, you probably aren’t regularly cleaning these germ hot spots . Ready to see the error of your wa

How to make Bath Bombs with Pink Himalayan Salts

Homemade bath bombs are all the rage these days. They are so easy to DIY and there are a ton of different bath bomb recipes out there. I love how easy it is to personalize your bath fizzies’ scent with essential oils . Some of my favorites to use include Lavender (Relaxation) and Peppermint (Pick-Me-Up). Mom Always Finds Out may have received one or more of the products mentioned in this blog post for free or discounted price. Regardless, all opinions expressed are my own. This blog post may contain affiliate links. I have been on a Pink Himalayan salt kick ever since I learned about how good it is for you. This pretty pink salt is one of the purest salts on Earth and is high in mineral content. The fine- grained Pink Himalayan salt is good to use for bath bombs because it dissolves quicker than the larger sized salt crystals . If you don’t have any Pink Himalayan salt at home, you can substitute another type of salt. Epsom Salts work great in this recipe, too. The main thing to

SO FRESH & SO CLEAN: Art adds tons of class to a bathroom ... just make sure you have good extraction. Cindy McClure, who works her aesthetic magic at Washington firm Grossmueller 's Design, is one of the US' top interior designers . Here she answers questions about renovating bathrooms ...  I'd like to remodel my very small master bathroom by removing the tub and replacing it with a walk-in shower. Will this affect selling potential down the road? What I am finding is that more owners are looking for more luxurious showers rather than tubs in the master. In speaking with real estate agents that I know, so long as there is another bathroom with a tub, it doesn't hurt resale and can even help to have a great shower. We have a bathroom without a fan. It has a window, but we never open it (it's in the shower - that is the last place I'd want to open a window). I always see framed artwork in bathrooms in shelter magazines. How practical is this in rooms with
