Create Your Own With Just 3 Ingredients INSTEAD OF PURCHASING FOAMING SOAPS
We’ve all seen the foaming hand and dish soaps at our local supermarkets — some of you may have one by your sink or in a cabinet. But when you run out of soap, what do you do? Do you throw out the bottle and purchase a new one? Or do you buy a new bottle and attach it to the dispenser? Buying soap replacements all the time is costly, but you can save money and soap by creating your own foaming dish and hand soap! You only need three things: a foaming dispenser, liquid soap, and water. Is making your own foaming soap that easy? Yes! The entire process may take you only five minutes to complete. The most important item you need is a foam dispenser. You can reuse a foaming soap container or purchase one online. After rinsing your bottle, add one part liquid soap and three parts water. Avoid shaking the bottle after screwing the cap back on. The suds and bubbles in the container will affect the dispenser and produce less foam when you pump the device. And that’s it! You just created foaming hand or dish soap in seconds. You don’t need to add lots of liquid soap to your concoction. If you
look at foaming soaps in the supermarket, you will notice they are mostly water. So, less is more in this instance. Once you begin making these, you’ll notice you use less soap, making the product last longer and keeping more money in your pocket. Not only does this foaming method work for hand and dish soaps, but you can also make your shampoo, body wash, and other cleansers foam — it’s all about the dispenser. If you decide to convert other products, avoid creamy soaps because they have moisturizers that can clog the foaming dispenser. Once you start making your own foaming soap, you will never go back to purchasing it. This DIY method is easy, quick, and inexpensive. Happy cleaning!
The Many Benefits of Being Happy ON CLOUD NINE
It is often and simply stated that happiness is the greatest form of success. On March 20th, we celebrate International Day of Happiness, a time we focus on the impact that being happy — truly, blissfully happy — has on our lives. There isn’t one person out there who wouldn’t like to feel happier, personally and professionally. Happiness greatly impacts our health, mentally and physically. Let’s take a look. Happiness fosters a healthier heart. When we lead blissful lives, we reduce our risk of heart complications. Cheerfulness and satisfaction help to keep our blood pressure and heart rate low, reducing the possibility of cardiovascular-related complications. Happiness manages stress. When we are happy, we tend to have lower cortisol (stress hormone) levels. In turn, we can better deflect feelings and
emotions that may lead to stress and anxiety. Even when stress is inevitable, a healthy lifestyle leads us to better manage those trying times.
This month, and every month, take some time to focus on what you can do for yourself and your life to let more happiness in. What toxic thoughts and feelings can you let go of? Once you let the happiness in, you’ll never look back!
Happy people may live longer. Studies have actually proven that
happiness contributes to a longer lifespan! While being happy doesn’t automatically grant you a ticket to a long life, it contributes to keeping your mind and body healthy enough to endure and persevere through life’s curveballs. Happiness leads to success. Upbeat people can easily create situations that best set them up for success. Happy individuals search for the good in other people, situations, and obstacles that come their way. With a ”glass half full” mentality, they are better able to dust themselves off, continue after they’ve fallen, and chase their dreams.
