Day 12 Summary Found a few solutions for the alternatives

Day 12

12.07.19

Today was a good day as it all started with the packed lunches for the kids trip and they were delighted and as a mom that was my day made.

After returning from the school run my friend arrived so we could start our soap making adventure together. We attended a course a few weeks ago and enjoyed the experience and decided to make some early Christmas gifts for family and friends.

These soaps are lovely and will make great teachers gifts.
My lounge smells beautiful 

So our Christmas gifts are setting 



My glass cabinet that I got free and up-cycled from Worcester waste exchange Facebook group.
 Perfect for the soaps to set in.  



I also found some success for my shampoo, conditioners and shaving soap for the hubby and nephew. One of you shared with me a link to Cosy Cottage Soap company who do products chemical free so thank you very much I have these products on their way as we speak.

I have also come up a solution to all the glass jars, yogurts jars and bottles. instead of recycling them in my green bin I'm going to try and up-cycle them on Worcester waste exchange Facebook group. The yogurt jars however are going to be up-cycled by myself to bees wax candles for christmas gifts too.

Every single delivery box will also be used instead of christmas wrapping paper but I will hand make a gift tag and tie with simple rope.

I am looking for another piece of advice and that is what happens when I run out of bin bags and ideas where I find compostable bin bags for my black bin waste. Someone sent me a link for a compostable cooked food waste alternative but the cost was a little high but I have an idea how to make one myself. Watch this space??

Tomorrow I plan to up-cycle some clothes and have a good sort out of unnecessary stuff clogging up the house.

See you tomorrow have a great Friday night.
