More Working, Less Thinking

  I’d been milling around the idea of learning how to make soap. I was A little hesitant because I really didn’t want to use lye. Well I went thrifting yesterday and found 3- 2lb Glycerin soap bases. It looks like making soap is my destiny. I’ve been searching for recipes so that I can make my first batch soon.

I also went grocery shopping yesterday.  90% of the things I buy are good healthy options. I’m a pretty disciplined shopper. I try to get little treats for my Dad to encourage him to snack but thats it as far as junk food. My mom is the opposite she always buys a half and half mix of good and bad foods. Today she went to walmart with my cousin and brought back cupcakes and cake which kind of annoyed me. I don’t have a sweet tooth so it isn’t really a temptation for me but it bothers me that my mom does have a sweet tooth and she devours that kind of stuff. Sometimes I have to take a time out and realize that I don’t have the right to force my way of life on the people I live with.

I made some major inroads in my spring cleaning project. I can’t believe how many beads and buttons I own.
