I've shared a few of my homemade soap ideas this year but today I'm sharing one with you that I think is going to be a bit like marmite. You're either going to love or hate my homemade Green Tea and Matcha Soap.I never even considered making my own soap until I discovered something called 'Melt and Pour Soap Base' which is amazing and is basically just as it sounds - you melt it, stir in the ingredients you want to add and then you pour it into your moulds to set.My soap moulds are from Amazon and they're so cute! I use them for everything from my homemade toilet fizzies to mini … [Read more...]
Whipped Pink Lemonade Body Scrub…..
Miss Frugal loves a good body scrub, as do I, and this one is my favourite so far - whipped pink lemonade body scrub!Honestly, I'm pretty sure we could give The Body Shop a run for their money with all the homemade beauty recipes that we've tried recently.

Homemade Coconut Soap…
A few months ago, I shared my first attempt at making soap with you. My lovely Honey and Oatmeal Soap was so lovely that I decided to have a go at making a coconut soap because as the weather get's warmer, coconut is definitely one of my favourite scents.I always thought that making your own soap was quite a long process and I'm petty sure that the traditional way involves something that requires gloves and a facemask which put me off having a go myself so I've never looked into it too much. But then I discovered something called 'Melt and Pour Soap Base' which is amazing and is … [Read more...]
Homemade Honey and Oatmeal Soap…
This year I've been trying to get a bit more creative and learning to make my own soap was something I've wanted to do for a while so today, I'm sharing my first attempt - Honey and Oatmeal Soap!I always thought homemade soap would be too much of a faff for me but a little while ago I was buying some shea butter from Amazon for another project when I came across 'Melt and Pour Soap Base' which is amazing! It's literally a soap base that comes in cubes which you just need to melt, add your other ingredients and then pour it into your moulds.I bought my soap moulds for under £2.00 … [Read more...]
