I love love LOVE baths and suds and bubbles. Derek just does not understand. I think it is a girl thing. Never have I ever met a girl who didn't love loofahs and bubbles and soap that smells good.
Now that we have covered the things I love, now lets talk about the things I hate.
1. Loofahs that have expanded to the size of Texas
2. Nasty bars of soap that sit on the side of your tub and leave gross soap rings
3. Never getting the right soap to washrag ratio
Thanks to www.pinterest.com I have found the perfect solution! Soap Rags!! You put the soap in, it lathers while you use it, then when the soap is gone just throw the rag into the wash and BOOM a whole new one!
Here is what you need: Some form of towel (I used an old hand towel but you could use any size), bar of soap, scissors, measuring tape, and your sewing machine.
If you are using a hand towel, place the soap on the towel and cut a straight line all the way down. If you use a bath towel, make your strips about 3"x6". **Depending on how big your soap bar is, your width could change.**
Roll the non cute edge 1/2" then another 1/2". Secure with pins. Sew together.
Fold the two ends together until the entire rag is 4.5" long. Sew the long edges together leaving the narrow ones open.
You now have a pouch with the seams visible. Turn the pouch inside out. Place the soap inside and go take a bath!
This is a great idea for students going away for college!! Just stack a few on top of each other and attach with a cute ribbon. No need for wrapping. :-)
Enjoy! Let me know what you want to try but haven't had the time or courage.
