Make your own foaming hand soap~

I like to make my own foaming hand soap for a couple of reasons. The first being, it cost a lot less and is not hard to do. The second reason, is that it is hard to find foaming hand soaps that are not anti-bacterial. My mom, who is a nurse, had told me it is best not to always use anti-bacterial soap. What you need is a foaming soap bottle. You can buy these, or you can go to your favorite bath and body store, and when the soap runs out, keep the bottles. Not all bottles are as good, some shoot the soap out when you use them. I like the ones from Bath and Body works the best. Next, you pick your favorite refill soap at a store like Target. (They have many choices on scents and colors now in refills) Take your empty soap bottle and fill it about 1/4 of the way with your regular soap, then slowly add water to fill most of the bottle up. (leave a tiny bit of room on top to shake it.) Next, put your lid on, and shake to blend. Then I sample it, to make sure it is not to thick or thin, and most of the time it is just right. If it is too thick, simply empty a bit, add water, shake and try again. If it is too thin, empty a bit, add a tiny bit more of soap, shake and try again. You can even use shampoo, if you want a certain scent that refill does not offer. It is easy and you can have your favorite soap always on hand. It truly does save a lot of money!
