DIY Liquid Hand Soap (5 Cent Version)

Ingredients

• 2 Cups Water
• 1/2 Cup Grated Bar Soap (About half of a bar)

Instructions

1. Bring water to a boil on the stovetop.

2. Add 1/2 cup grated soap. Stir until soap is melted.

3. Remove from the heat and stir after 10 minutes, after 1 hour, and after 5 hours (or overnight).

You really cannot mess this up. If your soap is too thick, add a little more water. If it is too liquidy, heat it up and add more grated soap. If you forget to stir it, stir whenever you remember.
4. Pour into soap hand pumps. This recipe makes enough for 3 average soap dispensers.
Approximate cost: 5 cents per soap dispenser (if using the 10 pack of Ivory bar soap from Walmart, which costs $3.50). If you use coupons, or get this item on sale, the cost will be less than 5 cents.
DIY Lathering Hand Soap

The above recipe is very simple, works great, and is incredibly inexpensive. But it has an odd consistency, almost mucous-like, and does not lather.
The following recipe is still very easy, but has two added ingredients which give the hand soap a gentle lather.
Ingredients

• 2 Cups Water
• 1 Tablespoon Sugar
• 2 Tablespoons Coconut or Castor Oil
• 1/2 Cup Grated Bar Soap

Instructions

1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and dissolve completely.

3. Add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil or castor oil and melt completely.

I use coconut oil which can be bought at any grocery store. It makes the soap smell delicious. I use coconut oil in a lot of my DIY projects (baby bum cream, lotion, lip balm, etc). I will be sharing all of these recipes here on .com, so it may be a worthwhile purchase if you intend to try some of those as well.
Tip: There are a lot of health benefits when using coconut oil for cooking as well.
4. Add 1 cup of grated soap and stir until melted.

5. Remove from heat and stir after 10 minutes, 1 hour, and 5 hours (or overnight).
6. Pour into your soap dispensers. For added “foaminess” pour into a foaming soap dispenser.

Approximate cost: 16 cents per soap dispenser.
Liquid handsoap can be made so simply and inexpensively – please don’t ever pay full price for it! This is a wonderful, simple way to save your family money (while also avoiding chemicals in commercial hand soaps).

Eat your bread ends or freeze them until you have a enough to make bread crumbs.

Cube stale bread. Bake on low heat (150F until crispy, usually 30 to 60 min). Food process.

Since the bread I make has no preservatives we keep our crumbs in the freezer.

This is a great way not to waste bread ends! i also cube mine and keep them in the freezer until i have enough to make croutons, toss the bread cubes with a bit of olive oil and whatever spices i feel like and bake until crisp, cool and freeze, haven't bought croutons or crumbs or bread for stuffing for years!!!

Today I bought myself a meat grinder.

I bought lean ground beef the other day, and there was nothing lean about it.....I skimmed off about a cup of fat from 3.5 lbs of meat, so now I am going to grind my own.

At home bodywrap. Lose inches in an hour. Mix vitamin E oil and farewell cellulite and rub where u wanna lose inches. Wrap tight with plastic wrap. Wrap up in warm blankets and sit for one hour. You will sweat and release toxins. Drink lots of water after.

This one seems too good to be true, but I saw it on Pinterest recently too. Anyone tried it? What kinds of "toxins" are released?

[Anna Michele]

just a neat trick

Cut or pull the top and bottom circles from the orange/tangerine/clementine. Then slit between two sections and roll it out.
