Home made laundry soap and such

[MrsFlipFlops 2]

My husband bought me a candle making kit for our anniversary. It basically came with the wicks, scents, and some wax to get you started. I bought more wax from a hobby store, and use random containers. I love it. It's so inexpensive. I do lots of candles all at once (because it's def. a long project). Since you have to wait till they cool, then pour again, the cool, then pour again. It's not hard, just kind of like laundry where you're getting up once an hour to move something. I recommend buying a starter kit, it will come with the double boiler, a thermometer and all the other things you'll replenish. Mine was about $15 then I spent 14 on the wax (for 15 pounds). 30 bucks and I've made candle after candle, a total deal.

My whole thing about going green is finding ways to keep the things I love (candles, etc) while still being efficient and earth friendly. I get teased at grocery stores with my bags... unless I go to Whole Foods or local markets. But I don't care! :-)
