Foaming Handwash

So it turns out the trick to Foaming Handwash is the bottle.  I had a few of these lying round as I hadn't got round to buying any refills as I have been quite reluctant to replace a lot of these type products. 

Toilet Bombs

I'm not sure what my fascination with this product was and it took me a while to decide find a recipe I liked so I ended up blending a couple of them to come up with these.

Headache Eraser

This is my favourite product because it really does away with pain.
