Homemade Bathroom Crafts
by Hannah Walton aka The Cheapskate Mom

Today, I'm talking about homemade, diy and SIMPLE bathroom crafts and projects.

I love having a pretty and well stocked bathroom – it's a place to get clean and relax in a tub after a hard day. Being on such a tight budget – I went to extremes and started using bar soap and taking quick showers. I am now reevaluating a bit – and looking to reclaim the bathroom – albeit on a cheapskate's budget. I found some exciting ideas to make the bathroom more inviting and relaxing and I couldn't wait to share them!

Make Your Own Homemade Mason Jar Body Wash
Distilled Water + Glycerin + Grated Soap = Homemade Body Wash in Mason Jars! Bethy over at Living, Laughing, Loving, Learning found a recipe for homemade body wash with only three basic ingredients, made it, and used mason jars to store it (frugal and stylish – go Betsy!).  I see a lot of money saving potential in this recipe – I also like how you can play around with food coloring and essential oils to totally customize this too   Read more…

Thanks, Jenna. Read more…
