Hello Everyone,

I found this great bath recipe that I thought I would share it with all of you. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan it very soon!

1/2 cup mild, unscented body soap
3/4 cup water
1/2 tsp. salt
1 whole orange

Fill a bowl with the body soap and water. Stir until combined. Pour in salt until the mixture thickens. Decant into a sealed bottle. When you're ready for a luxurious soak, pour 1/4 cup of the mixture under warm running water. Roll a orange on a hard surface to release oils in ring: slice and float the slices on top of the bath water. The heat from the bath will enhance the orange aroma.

Hint 1: Keep those stinky shoes smelling fresh with dried sage...yep I said dried sage!

Dried sage is not just for cooking, it is also great at
killing odor-causing bacteria in shoes! Sprinkle a little of this magic herb in your footwear and let it sit overnight. In the morning shake the remains into the trash before wearing.

Hint 2: Flaunt your signature scent in your drawers

Infuse your clothes with your favorite fragrance easily
by moistening a few cottonballs with your favorite perfume.
Let the cotton balls dry, and tuck a couple in the back
of each of your drawers. This will lightly scent your
wardrobe.
