Sweet Rose Glitter Soap

Mother's Day is coming up this weekend and I wanted to share a fun and easy gift idea. Whether you are creating your Mom a Mother's Day gift basket, or are looking for something your kids can help make, this Rose Shea Butter Soap is a very easy and fun project to create.

I already have my daughter hooked on helping me make soap. This time around we decided to make a decorative rose soap, with rose scent, pink soap coloring and a little glitter.

Yes, she was most excited about the glitter.

If you are new to soap making, you can find all the necessary supplies at your local Michael's or on Amazon. Here is what I used:

Rose Glitter Soap

You Will Need:

• Shea Butter Soap Base
• Soap Colorants - Pink
• Soap Fragrance - Rose
• Iridescent Glitter
• Rose Soap Molds

For my soap mold I used 10 - 1 gram cubes, separated and placed in a microwave safe dish. I microwaved the base on high for 30 seconds, then 15 second intervals until melted. Stir in between each heating.

After the base is melted, add color drops and fragrance. Add a few drops of pink and stir, repeat until you reach the desired shade. I used 7 drops of rose fragrance for my whole batch. 

Before pouring into the molds, I dusted the bottom of the mold with glitter and added another tablespoon to the soap mixture itself. Pour into the mold and cool and set for about an hour.

To remove, invert and gently apply pressure to the mold. 

Store in a cool, dry place and enjoy! 

Wouldn't this make a great Mother's Day gift? Add a bouquet and you are set to earn major brownie points this coming weekend.

NEW Dial Sugar Cane Husk Scrub with Giveaway

Dial provided me with a sample of Dial Sugar Cane Husk Scrub hand soap in exchange for an honest review. All opinions and experiences are my own.

There has been a whole lot of hand washing going on this Winter. Now into Spring, I don't want the routine to stop. With a busy kitchen, diapers to change and life in general to wash away, I like to pick a scent I love and a hand soap formula that leaves my hands feeling clean and soft.

My newest find is this Dial Sugar Cane Husk Scrub. Oh, boy this stuff smells amazing!

I put this in our highest traffic area, the kitchen sink.

The smell is subtle, warm and sweet. It smells like fresh sugar cane and doesn't overpower the room or take over. I could almost call it, "yummy".

This hand soap from Dial's Boutique Collection contains micro-scrubbers for a deep clean, as well as a moisturizing formula designed to leave your hands smooth. That is important to me considering how many times I am stopping at my kitchen sink throughout the day to wash my hands. Other great scents in the line include:

• Yellow Raspberry and Black Sugar
• Water Blossoms
• Coconut Lime Verbena

Now, I do have a confession. The smell and feel of my hand soap does have an effect on how often (or how eager I am) to wash my hand. Am I right? If I pick up a new hand soap with an exciting scent, I find myself going back more often... and even enjoying those few minutes when I lather up.
