authenticity over perfection

by Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs

 

Today I had another video planned. But this message was on my heart to share. Have you ever felt not good enough? Unworthy? Like everyone on YouTube has a clean house and most people have it pretty much together while you are crumbling apart? Or can’t even keep the dang crumbs off the floor. And you skip cleaning the sink…kind of a lot? Sometimes I feel like this, too. And sometimes you tell me I make it look like I have it all together. And I don’t. And here’s what I really want you to know. I’m behind you. I believe in you! This, my friends is realistic organizing.

Wait, it’s Halloween and Kathryn is posting a Christmas video? Why yes, yes I am! If you want anything in this video RUN to Target! All of these items will sell out very quickly, the prices are so good. I wanted to share a shop with me at Target Dollar Spot (Bullseye’s Playground) video. You always ask for shop with me videos, and I love the Target Dollar Spot because everything is $5 and under. Nearly every item in this video was $3. I’ll show you what’s new for Christmas Decor 2017. Tons of farmhouse style finds, pillows, signs, ornaments, gift ideas, and more. Leave a comment on this post and we will go to Dollar Tree next. Love you guys!

Dollar Tree DIY Bath Bombs!

by Filed Under: DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Holiday, Recipes

Hey guys! In this episode of Cooking with Carson we are showing you how to make DIY Dollar Tree Bath Bombs! These are similar to the expensive bath bombs you can find at Lush and the more reasonably priced ones you can buy online from amorbathbombs.com, but Carson makes them for a fraction of the price using Dollar Tree supplies. How fun is this DIY for Halloween? We had so much fun making these. I think these would make great Christmas gifts, too. (Each bath bomb is less than $1!)

Lush Dupe Bath Bomb Recipe
Dollar Tree Molds and/or Dollar Tree Clear Christmas Ornaments
1/2 cup Dollar Tree Epsom Salt
1 cup Baking Soda
*1/2 cup Citric Acid (you can find at Walmart in the Ball canning section or here)
2-3 tsp. olive oil
1 tsp. water
Dollar Tree food coloring
15 drops essential oil (optional, especially if you have scented Epsom salt)

Mix dry ingredients until well incorporated. Mix wet ingredients and SLOWLY add to dry ingredients. Press firmly and compactly into molds and let dry overnight.

*Note: If you don’t have Citric Acid or want this to be a 100% Dollar Tree DIY, you can add 1/4 cup cream of tartar and 1/2 cup cornstarch in place of the citric acid. However, these will NOT have the same bath bomb fizz!
