Baby Shampoo/Soap-Homemade

1/3 c Dr Bronner's Baby Mild Castile Soap
1 tsp coconut oil(melted)
water
a few drops of your favorite essential oil(if you wish)
Old Shampoo Container(I just like to use what I already have in the house)

Take your old shampoo or soap container and fill it half way up with water.  Melt your coconut oil and add it to the container.  Add the essential oil(if you wish), and the soap(you can buy this soap on Amazon!)! Mix it in, and add enough water to fill the rest of the container up.  This is what I used to fill up my 15oz container-so feel free to add/subtract based on the size of your container. Super quick, super easy, and super cheap to make! Right up my alley!

*We have used this for a month now on our babies and I will never go back to any other soap.  It leaves their skin so silky smooth! My husband and I love to rub their backs and bellies when they get out because they are so smooth! (Confession-I have even used it a couple times myself and my skin felt the same way)

Tub Cleaner

Alright so I am a bit skeptical of things at time, and this didn't really seem like any miracle cleaner to me, but decided what did it hurt to give it a try.

Oh my goodness, it is a miracle cleaner.  My cream tub has never looked so sparkly in my life!  I didn't take before/after pictures because I honestly didn't think it would work but it did, and now I'm sad I didn't take a before picture.

I found this off of pinterest so I can't take credit for it, but I just want you to know I am a firm believer in it and would recommend it to anyone!

Squirt Bottle
Dawn
Vinegar

Fill the squirt bottle with half Dawn and half vinegar.  I only filled the squirt bottle half way up because I had my doubts that it would work.  I sprayed it all over the shower, and I let it set for a bit.  Mainly because I'm not really supposed to be doing work around the house but can't stand the thought of sitting still so I just do one thing and then sit, and then do another thing and then sit some more.

So after I sat for about an hour, I went back to the tub for scrubbing.  I could seriously see the soap scum coming off the tub as I was scrubbing.  I had no idea my tub was that dirty.  YUCK!  It's all better now though and looks amazing.  Once you have it all scrubbed(it will be quite bubbly as it has Dawn in it), then you rinse everything down.  Now I can't wait to take a shower in my nice clean tub!

This is seriously way cheaper than buying scrubbing bubbles and works so much better than any other tub cleaner I have ever used, as I have tried a lot to get the hard water off the tub and the soap scum but never quite seem to succeed.  Seriously try this, you will be so glad that you did!!
