Make Your Own Natural Citrus Softscrub For Your Sinks, Tubs, and Toilets!
I have a “friend” with a bathtub that is so gross, they didn’t even want their name to be revealed out of embarrassment, but they did want me to find a great way to clean their bathtub (and sinks, toilets, etc.). I knew that they were looking for a softscrub, so I got to work […]

Every girl out there who has ever used a salt or sugar scrub, knows and LOVES that luxurious feeling that your skin gets after rinsing off. In the middle of the summer time, I am usually partial to a coconut lime version of one of these, but during the winter time I am in need […]
