Make your own Foaming Face Wash

This soap is natural, and can be easily modified for your skin type. It is also very inexpensive! I bought an inexpensive foaming soap dispenser, but you could just reuse and empty one. Fill it 3/4 full with water. I chose to use two castile soaps together in my recipe. They are both wonderful for the skin and smell great.  These are Dr. Woods Black Soap, and Dr. Bonners Hemp Rose Soap.  I added enough to fill the container but leave some room for the dispenser to fit in without over flowing. For my dispenser it was about 6 oz of water and 1.5 oz of soap.   A rule of thumb is 5 to one water to soap in a foaming dispenser.  You can see it got cloudy once the soap was in. If you do the water then the soap it doesn't over flow with suds! Now you add the oils of your choice. I added 15 drops of orange oil.  The soap will settle a little so shake it up before using.  If you have acne prone skin use tea tree, or Purification blend ...

The Portable Sewing Classroom

Image
This is my van before I leave to teach sewing. There are 2 sewing machines, 20 binders, fabric, 2 cutting boards, my large tote bag with my teacher things, and a giant rolling tool box. I travel once a a week to teach sewing at my son's home school group. That giant rolling toolbox has sewing supplies like scissors, pins, tape measures etc. as well as handouts. I bring it back and forth every week. Hopefully most of the rest of the items will be stored at the facility. Every week we put up and tear down a complete sewing classroom for 5 students at a time including 5 machines, ironing boards, and cutting boards. By the end of the 8 hours of class I will have 29 students, boys and girls, junior high and high school ages come through my classroom.   This one day each week is such a blessing to me! I love teaching a skill to my students, but even more is the spark of creativity that grows through the year. These creative kids do amazing things!
