Homemade Bath Bombs {DIY}

I've been trying to make the most of our shelter in place time by trying new recipes, crafts
and projects that have been on my someday list. I have a pretty long list and it's always fun
to try something new, especially when the project or recipe turns out just as you hoped it
would! Today we're making homemade bath bombs.

I've been using Young Living essential oils exclusively for a little over a year now and I
love learning new ways to get rid of toxic beauty and cleaning products in our home and
replace them with natural products.  (You can read more about why I love Young Living here.)

that many of you are as well, so share this with your significant other or use it as a guide
to buy a gift for a friend who loves oils. They will love you!

Summer Pool Necessities & DIY Essential Oil Bug Spray

This post is in partnership with Stonyfield Organic. As always, all opinions are my own.

Happy first day of summer!
Bring on the pool parties, picnics, beach vacations and more!

Speaking of pool parties, we finally got our pool up and running over the weekend.
When we opened it in April we were quite surprised to find it almost completely empty!
Our liner had a couple of holes, causing the water to slowly leak over the winter, but it's
fixed now and I love our new liner. It's so pretty!

Why I Use Essential Oils

I've been using essential oils for several years to make my own sugar scrub, sink scrub
and homemade household cleaners, so this isn't anything new for me.
One of my first blog posts, way back in 2011, was for a homemade carpet deodorizer
using baking soda and essential oil.

DIY Sink Cleaning Scrub

I've been on a mission to use more natural cleaning products in our home.
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day products are my favorite, but sometimes I enjoy making
my own, like this homemade carpet freshener.

After washing the evening dishes I've been cleaning the sink with a homemade
sink scrub made simply with baking soda and a few drops of essential oils.
I keeps my sink shiny clean and smells amazing!
