Got To Try It Mom

One day summer will end and Winter will come and I will be rocking this scarf. Hopefully it looks like California may see a little rain next week and some cooler temperatures, fingers crossed! We could definitely use it.

I saw this cute scarf set and I knew my oldest daughter would love it. Obviously it gets pretty cold in the morning even here in Sunny California. My oldest daughter is in Middle School and she starts later than all her siblings but since taking 4 kids to 3 different schools takes about an hour she gets to school before its open. So she usually waits with the other kids whose parents drop them off before the school opens.

This cute marbled knit set with pink trim is adorable and oh so soft. For being 100% acrylic it is very squishy and soft even more so than Red Hearts Soft acrylic yarn.  It's knit up in a simple garter stitch with a ribbed accent.  The garter stitch is perfect for the busy-ness of the black and white mixed yarn.

I love the length of of the scarf it's really long and wide which gives you plenty of options of ways to wear it. The hat is really stretchy, I had my hair in a bun and had no problem getting to fit comfortably.

I think my daughter will love this set, I plan on giving it to her for Christmas. Next week.

My girls love bath bombs. We don't own a tub anymore so they have to travel to a grandparents house in order to enjoy one.  I've been wanting to make my own because well.. one bath bomb at Marshalls is about 2.99, not to expensive but  why pay that much when I can make my own that I know my girls will love with the scents and colors they like and all the ingredients I approve of? The recipe I used for these bath bombs came from my December Simply Earth Recipe Box. I am loving this months box, I've just about used every recipe I only have 2 more left to try.
1/2 Cup ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda, 13.5 Pound - I usually buy my big bag at Costco this last me a while usually a year.

1/4 Cup Milliard Citric Acid - 5 Pound - 100% Pure Food Grade NON-GMO This is the one I got since I knew I would be doing more bath bomb and fizzie projects.

1/4 Cup Epsom Salt - I find mine at my local Walmart, just make sure its pure with no other ingredients.

1/2 Cup Argo Pure Corn Starch - this is the one I used

1.5 Tablespoon Pure Body Naturals Cold Pressed Sweet Almond Oil or if you don't need as much you can it at Simply Earth Sweet Almond Oil 

15 drops Simply Earth Peppermint Oil

Colors -Lilac, Peach and Seafoam - these are soap dyes (optional) I knew my daughter would want to add colors and we have plans for a mermaid type of bath bomb.

Some water in a spritzer bottle and your molds. My round mold I received in my December Simply Earth Box and the other from amazon here :

I'm so excited to share my latest obsession with you. I've probably mentioned already that I am obsessed with subscription boxes, well I'm also obsessed with being as green and natural as possible too. I've been trying to really get into the essential oil thing for a few years now and the heavy price tag they carry really have held me back from really getting to explore this natural way of life. Well a few months ago I came across Simply Earth, they too hated the hit their wallets took buying essential oils from the big name brands. Simply Earth brings you top quality essential oils for 1/2 the price by sourcing essential oils from farms that grow them best all over the world and bottling them in house to insure quality, they also double test to ensure their oils are pesticide free and pure. Simply pure has a monthly recipe box that contains 4 essential oils, 6-7 recipes to use them, and extras to make them. It costs $39 a month, which is a steal if you ask me. Check out their site HERE and you can see some of their past boxes also. This December box is my 3rd box so far and I have been absolutely thrilled so far. I love when they are themed like the last three months have been.
