How to Store Handmade Bath Products

Image
Properly storing your soapy creations extends the amount of time the product looks and feels its best. For cold process soap , proper storage includes plenty of air flow. On the other hand, melt and pour soap should be wrapped immediately. Improper storage can promote dreaded orange spots , faded colors and glycerin dew . Luckily, it’s easy to prevent these problems with a little know-how. How products should be stored largely depends on what the product is made of, and the shelf life of the ingredients. For nearly all bath and beauty products , it’s best to store them in a dry and cool place. Excessive moisture in the air can promote DOS (read more about DOS here) and cause bath bombs to prematurely fizz. Extreme heat can cause melt and pour (or even cold process) soap to melt, and the texture of lotions and balms to change. If placed in direct sunlight, soapy colors and fragrances may fade. If you live in a hot climate, find the coolest and darkest area of your home to store your...

3 Essentials for Organizing a Dorm or Apartment Bathroom

Bathroom organization " src="https://www.collegefashion.net/.image/t_share/MTI4ODM3MDIzNTczMjc0NTk0/bathroom-organization.jpg" /> Photo Credit Ah, the good old bathroom . In your early days, it was the place to experiment with wacky hairstyles and play with your mom's lipstick. In middle school, you learned not to venture into it alone ( remember what happened to Hermione? ), and it became the place to meet for secret conversations with your BFFs. Of course, when you got to college, your preconceived notions about bathroom etiquette were probably overturned by your first day. For those of you in residence halls, the initial thrill (or fear) of having a co- ed bathroom wore off in about thirty seconds, and now you try to spend as little time as possible there. However, as college women, there are plenty of ways for us to stay organized (and clean) in shared bathroom situations . In this article, we'll list  three essentials for dorm room (or apartment!) b...

How to make Bath Bombs with Pink Himalayan Salts

Image
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 ...

Organized Master Bathroom ! (Sunny Side Up)" width="680" height="1020" /> Hello hello friends!  Today I’m sharing my organized master bathroom with you all!  Well.  Some of it.  Part of it.  The part that’s organized.  Ha.  Kidding!  It’s actually all organized.  But only because this room (for the most part) is a kid free zone.  I have control.  Complete control!  It’s a wonderful feeling!  ;) { Master Bathroom Tour and Sources} (affiliate links used) Let’s start with the built-in cabinets on the left!  My side of the bathroom. :) They hold all of our towels.  LOVE the Savannah baskets from PB for organizing (on sale right now!).  I have them all throughout my house! More towels on the bottom. I did a major towel clean out in the Spring when I bought some new towels and tossed everything that was old and we weren’t using anymore.  Feels so good to not have cupboards that are crammed with too many towels! Pretty much the same thing on my husband’s side of...
