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!

CLEANING MY HOUSE! Fast & Organized Weekly Cleaning Routine

by Filed Under: Cleaning, DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Organization, Recipes

Clean with me! Some much needed cleaning motivation (on a budget of course). After lots of requests, I FINALLY made a video of my weekly whole house cleaning routine. I have daily cleaning routines that keep me organized and on top of the house (these take about 20-30 minutes a day), and my weekly cleaning routines (which incorporate monthly ones one or twice throughout the week) take 20-30 minutes a day. I want to spend LESS THAN AN HOUR A DAY staying on top of my house. And even then, we have young kids, so spotless floors aren’t my number one priority. Of course, you’re gonna need some basic housework equipment for your cleaning responsibilities, so you might be required to have a look on somewhere like Bissell if you’re short of things like vacuum cleaners.

I aim to get 80% of what I’m showing here done 80% of the time. I hope you find it motivating, helpful and learned some hacks and tips you can use in your home! If you want me to make a video of my daily and monthly/bi-monthly/yearly cleaning routines, let me know in the comments. Blessings and love! Remember, give yourself grace and love the season of life you are in (especially with little ones). Your kids are making memories.

Once a month, I’ll utilise a housekeeping service to come in and absolutely deep clean the whole house. I’ll take the kids out and let them clean everything. That way, I can stay on top of the maintenance, and let another company handle the deep cleaning (the hard work part). My friend had her restaurant commercially cleaned by GREEN FACILITIES and it looked amazing. There’s nothing better than a clean environment.
