New Uses for a Bar of Soap‏

I found this on MSN and thought it was worth sharing :) Some really great ideas!

New Uses for Soaps

1. Pretty Pincushion
Stick needles and pins in a wrapped bar of soap. The soap's oils make the pointy ends glide through fabric sew easily.
2. Deodorant Substitute
In a pinch, swab under your arms with a dry bar (whichever one is handy) to fight that not-so-fresh feeling.

3. Car Freshener
Tuck a cake of scented soap in your car-door compartment for a subtle aroma that's superior to any cardboard (or "rearview mirror") pine tree.

4. Insect Repellent
Put a few unwrapped bars of rosemary, lemongrass, or citronella soap on a picnic table and unwanted flying guests will bug off.

5. Mirror Marker
Keep your love notes clean: Scribble on a mirror with a bar of soap. It is cheaper than lipstick and wipes off more easily.

6. Stain Remover
Pretreat grass and dirt stains with a few gentle swipes of a dry bar (any kind will do).

7. Itch Reliever
Can't stop scratching that mosquito bite? Rub it with a bar of oatmeal- or aloe-infused soap to quell the urge.

8. Hem Guide
When you're fresh out of tailor's chalk, use a bar of soap to mark a new hem on your fashion masterpiece.

I Can Do it Myself!

Do you have a "I can do it myself" kid? My granddaughter Hailey is very independent and has been for quite some time. She loves to be able to do things herself as it gives her a sense of accomplishment and that also goes for washing up at bath time.


So back when she was three years old I created our "Lance The Leopard" Foaming Bath wash for her. I of course got the idea from the popular KanDoo soaps as I loved the concept.

The difference in my soap and theirs is the ingredients.
