DIY Men's Body Wash

I mainly post stuff for us women and sometimes for the kiddos but Fathers Day is coming up. Are you out of ideas? Does dad really have everything he needs? How about making him something homemade, I mean they have to shower right? Below you will see just how easy it is to make body wash for that special Man in your life.

What you will need is:

1/2c distilled water

1c Castile liquid soap (try to find the unscented, if you can't use the almond. Most stores carry this, if you can't find it you can get it on eBay or Amazon. The brand name is Dr. Bronner's

1c almond oil

1tsp Epsom salt

1tsp vitamin e

A foaming soap dispenser (you can find on eBay or Amazon)

10 drops of Lemongrass Essential Oil

20 drops Cedar Wood Essential Oil

Remember don't use Walmart brand oils, buy your oils on eBay or Amazon. I really like the NOW Brand.

Pour all your ingredients into the foam pump dispenser and you now have a man's body wash. You can make a larger batch and store in mason jars.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
