Homemade Hand Soap

I must admit that I have a new addiction Pinterest . I can't help myself from browsing and browsing all of the beautifully creative things on this site. Yesterday I tried my first DIY from Pinterest and it was a success. I made 1/2 gallon of hand soap from a bar of soap. It was easy, fun and it will save us a lot of money on commercial hand soap.

My ingredients:
1 bar of Dr. Bronners Lemon Soap
1 T of liquid glycerin
50 drops lemon essential oil
1/2 gallon Water

I followed the directions from the farmers nest blog but substituted Dr Bronners for Meyers and cut the recipe in half to test it out. Mine worked wonderfully but I did use a hand mixer the next day and added a little extra water to break up chunks and create a smooth consistency.

Poor Prince Charming

Oh Yes, I found my lovely girl
And yes, the sparkling slipper fit
How was I to know
I was starting a dreadful life of financial ruin?
Never enough shoes
She buys, buys, buys
Silver ones, high ones, low ones, shiney ones
The more expensive the better
Who knew that one glass slipper
Would lead to such devistation
Oh yes, I found my girl
And her shoes.
