Smart Tips Tuesday

Some believe in settling things the old fashioned way. There's no reason to get down and get dirty but when you are dirty...

you could make your own soap.....

Tip: Leave bar soap by the sink. BECAUSE: Most liquid soap comes in nonrenewable plastic packaging.

If you are using antibacterial soaps, just use a pretty glass or metal container instead.

Check out the cookie jar in the corner.....way, cool!
