I recycled an old baby wipe flip-lid comtainer, too, because you know diapering: you need easy access. I think I used baby wash, baby oil and water. All my sisters-in-law and sister and cousins and friends all got hooked on them too. I can still remember their wonderful scent! I would definitely love the coconut oil scent too!<br /><br />I "butter" toast with cold pressed virgin coconut oil. I also pop popcorn in it and fry eggs. Love the stuff!<br /><br />Kelley (Highway)Mrs. Kelley Dibblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192189624517973551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-51324261504177824442013-04-24T08:36:45.996-04:002013-04-24T08:36:45.996-04:00Perfectly wonderful idea!

Stocked up on expensive cleaners, make up removers, creams etc. and have always come back to just plain old Dove soap and water while I am in the shower in the morning. "If" I have worn makeup that day, it's worn to bed that night as well. (don't usually wear a whole lot) I follow that up with an inexpensive dab of Cataphil moisterizer and I am done. Now I do wear kind of expensive makeup (when I wear it) and I don't know if that is why it washes off soo easily or what. But I have found with my skin, ONE good washing a day is better and all I need. Two and my skin looks kind of dry and redish. I think my lack of many wrinkles is inherited from my mother rather than anything I have done ; ) I have NO idea why I felt the need to write all this and I profusely apologize, lol. Enjoy your day Debbie, and I DO think this is a wonderful idea!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836655708421528876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445819367576845715.post-82077323771735106652013-04-24T08:29:36.051-04:002013-04-24T08:29:36.051-04:00Wow, Debbie, way to go!

What I really love is the idea of saving on something and putting that $$ aside for a chair or whatever... I write a check for $10 more than the grocery bill and stick it aside and opened a special account with it years ago... it's grown and it makes me happy!!
