What You Should Know About Aromar Premium Quality Fragrance Oil

 


I started using Aromar Premium Quality Fragrance Oil about eight or nine years ago.  I have purchased it from Family Dollar and other stores.  It can be purchased on Amazon and eBay. The quality of the fragrance oil is very strong and it smells so good. 

The price of this oil is very affordable.  I used to use this oil to burn on my oil burner and it perfumed my entire apartment beautifully, but now I use it on my used wax melts to restore them to their former glory.

I put a little on top of my wax melts while it is on the burner, and voila, it is new again.  The smell lasts a very long time.  Aromar comes in a variety of different fragrances.  My favorite used to be lavender, but since I started using the Chanel #5 version, I have been hooked.  It smells just like Chanel #5 perfume.

They even have an Egyptian Musk version that is delightful!  Next time you go to the store look for this oil because it will make a difference in your home, and it lasts a long time because you only have to use it a little bit.

The oil is not skin-safe, so don't use it as an oil for your body or to make soaps. 

The bottle comes that I have comes in a 2-ounce bottle but it also comes in a 4-ounce bottle.

Next time you are in Family Dollar grab a bunch of these oils to enhance your atmosphere.

Want To Save Money By Using Rit Dye? You Can Start Now.

 Want to save money by using Rit Dye? You can start now.

It seems like everybody loves wearing jeans, but the only downside is the fact that they fade.  When my jeans would fade I would just toss them, but I had so many of them in perfect shape.  

Years ago, I had a discussion with my mom about my jeans fading and I told her that I didn't want to throw them out, and she said, " all you have to do is buy some Rit dye."  She gave me the steps and after I dyed my first pair I was (hooked).

You have to follow all the steps on the box or bottle, and your jeans will come out looking new.  Rit dye is very inexpensive.   To get the best results, I use one bottle per pair, but if your jeans are not all that faded, you probably could do two pairs with one bottle.

I usually dye them in my stainless steel sink or a plastic dishpan.

A lot of people do it in their washing machine, but if you do not run the machine afterward with bleach and nothing else in there, you run the risk of getting dye on your next wash load.

After I dye my jeans, I usually wash them by themselves for two washes to make sure there is not any dye transfer. 

So, now you do not have to get rid of your favorite jeans, just dye them and you will save money.

Women'S Crocs Shoes

Hello everyone, today I want to talk about Crocs.  These shoes have been around for some time and I have to admit that I wasn't anxious about jumping on the Crocs bandwagon. I didn't care for how they looked.

I have many problems going on with my feet and I was forced to find flat shoes that I can wear and still be comfortable.  The search has been very long because most of the flat shoes available look the same.

Lately, I have been looking at Crocs in many stores and I have actually been seeing some cute ones.

They come in a lot of cute colors and I am going to buy four pairs to mix and match for the spring and summer months. I am glad that there are different styles that are available right now.

These shoes would be great to take on vacation to take the strain and pressure off of your feet.

I used to feel like they looked like nurse shoes but now they look more stylish so I will definitely feel more comfortable wearing them this year.

The Truth Behind Dish Soap For Laundry


There are times when you may run out of your favorite laundry detergent and you wonder whether you should take the chance and use dish soap. 

Dish soap is perfect to have in your kitchen but also to use instead of laundry detergent if that is all that you have on hand. I have been doing this for many years without any problems.  You have to make sure that you do not use any dish soap that has bleach in it to avoid destroying your clothes.

Dish soap is a degreaser which means that you can use it to pretreat your clothes that have grease stains. I like using Dawn dish soap for this but you can use any dish soap that you have on hand.

Now, to use it in your washing machine you have to make sure that you add just a short squeeze or two to avoid having soap suds everywhere. I do this when using an HE washing machine or any washing machine and I do not run into any problems.

The truth is the fact that dish soap is a cleaner like any other cleaner and it tends to be very mild.  Sometimes I will soak two of my delicate shirts in a mild solution of dish soap; rinse then wring them out and hanging them up to dry.  

It works very well for washing your bras, hats, and baby clothes. Just make sure that you use one that is very mild to use on baby clothes.

This will prevent them from getting damaged in the wash. I absolutely love washing my jeans with dish soap because they will dry much faster than when using laundry detergent.

Dish soap is perfect to use if you have a ring around the collar.  Pretreat let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes and then toss in your washing machine.
It is perfect to use while on vacation if you want to handwash clothes without buying a bottle of laundry detergent.

Sometimes, I stock up on dish soap at my local Dollar store to keep on hand.

Any Cons Using Dish Soap For Your Laundry?

1. If you are line drying your clothes, they will be crunchy or a bit hard but you will not have any problems when you dry them in your dryer.
2. If you do not use dish soap with fragrance your clothes will be clean but they will not have a perfumey smell like when using laundry detergent.
3. You have to carefully avoid using too much so you don't experience any problems.  Monitor your children when using to avoid having suds everywhere.

I did a video using dish soap to wash my clothes in my small portable washing machine if you want to check it out.
