Hello! Happy mid week! How's it flowin'? I decided to get a little adventurous and try something I never would have. We turned bar soap into liquid soap, and it was fun!
The lovely pick (as well as photo above) comes from a blog I just found out about via the magic of pinterest! The Farmer's Nest gave pretty great instructions, so I won't be repetitive and break down the deets, but I will tell you what I learned.
We used a bar of soap we had hanging around. I think it had glycerine in it. We followed the instructions and the funny part was, well, yea, I am going to just tell ya. So the recipe calls for liquid glycerin. I looked for it in the band aid isle as recommended. Welp, the fine folks at CVS did help me fine it, just not in the band aid isle. In the laxative isle. In the form of a butt injection thingie. For when you need to poop. I bought it anyway. Glycerine is glycerine, right?
Anywho, it worked just like instructed except ours had this snot like consistency. I think there was too much glycerin. I ordered some Mrs. Meyers soap bars to try again. We got about a gallon of totally usable soap. I added a little scented oil to give it an extra kick. Love it! Totally want to make more household cleaning stuff!
So, what did you get into this week? Share!
