My all natural soap STRESS LESS SATURDAY!

Once a month I want to focus on de stressing and taking care of our selves and because I like to schedule time to do this I wanted to dedicate these posts as "stress less Saturday" blogs.
I picked up the craft of soap making because I loved the idea of using an all natural beauty product. It's also a relaxing thing to do-actually making it is fun and relaxing! Plus I have to be precise and patient, so it's a good practice for me at these things. No rushing through this! I have to be mindful and in the moment. I can always use more ways to practice mindfulness in my life.

I decided I wanted to start making and selling soap, so I actually registered myself as a business this year. "Just Some Soap" is the name. Hopefully making the point that I'm not taking soap or myself very seriously. It is fun and I hope I can raise some money to buy more supplies and give to a good cause.

I learned how make soap from taking a Minneapolis Community Ed and some private classes from my friend who is an instructor. It is cold process lye soap made with olive and coconut oils.

Soap Molding

Friday Floor Facts- Vacuum and Care Tip!

Time for your Friday Fact!

Vacuuming your carpet in the same direction each time can make wear patterns more visible!
TRY THIS INSTEAD:
Each time you vacuum start from a different side of the room. This will prevent visible rows and tracking in your carpet.

Considering Granite, Quartz or Marble?

Do you want GRANITE countertops? It's a popular home upgrade that really impacts a home's style and value. Granite and other natural countertops can be easy to maintain as they are resistant to scratching, heat and other damage.

The first thing I wanted to know about my new granite was how to keep it clean! 

Another benefit of granite is how easy it is to clean! A soft cloth and warm, soapy water is all it takes to clean. Avoid harsh chemical it's unnecessary! Dry wipe your counters after wiping away any wet suds left from your wash rag. 

How often should I be vacuuming my carpet?

How often should you vacuum? There are several answers for this varying from daily to once a week. I'm a realist,  so my advice is once a week for every adult in the house and an additional vacuuming per pet in your home. This may seem like a lot, but vacuuming is the most important thing you can do  to make  your carpet last a long time. It removes debris before it can be ground into the fiber and lifts the fiber up to prevent matting down.

If you have a twist, frieze or a plush carpet you may want to raise your beater bar to prevent excess wear of the tips of the carpet fibers.
