Homemade Liquid Body Wash

This liquid soap tutorial from One Good Thing by Jill is the best as well as the simplest that I have come across. With the high cost of liquid body wash these days, this is really is "budget luxury".


INGREDIENTS
6 cups water
3 Bars of Soap grated (recommend DOVE)

Put the soap and water into a pan on the stove on medium heat, stirring occasionally until all the soap is dissolved.

Transfer to a glass jar or bowl and allow to cool (at least 24 hours), then pour into a plastic bottle for shower use! (It will thickens as it cools).

Please note that because Dove has a lot of moisturizer in it….the 6 cups of water is perfect. If you try another type bar soap it will turn out too thick with only 6 cups of water. It can still be done…you’ll just have to experiment with the amount of water.

To make your own fancy jar w/pump as pictured above go to: Icing on the cake

Neat Things: Luggage for Hard-to-Fit Places

If you are one of the many that covet the " Louis Vuitton Steamer Trunk " then you will love Williams British Handmade. This company creates original designed handmade storage and luggage items for those "irregular" spaces...Yes, they are real, functional suitcases!
All of the items are bespoke or limited edition and according to their site, each brass frame design is handmade by a metal worker and every stitch is done by hand using traditional saddle stitching. They even take custom request.

Though I cannot imagine taking one of these when I travel ( I am envisioning, ladies with gloves , hat and an air of aristocracy, lol), this is what I call a "functional piece of art"......and worth every pretty penny it is going to cost ! I do wonder if the airline will charge you extra since its and odd shape?
