Hair clogs are a thing of the past

Having had more girls then boys we have always had a problem with clogged drains from hair build up. I so wish we had been able to find these years ago. These have been a complete blessing. A gross blessing but a blessing none the less. I just feed one of the daisy's down the drain and every week or so we pull them up and cut off any build up, if there is too much and we can't reuse then we just trade it out for a new one. I do suggest using one of the snakes to clean your drain before you start using your daisy to get it extra clean. I know we were surprised by how much was already down our drain before using our daisy's. 

Again these are awesome and have helped a lot. We are now in our new apartment and we have already installed a daisy. The hair catcher can be found on my affiliate link below.

One of my Bathing Luxuries

Bathing is one of the times that are a just for me, where I can sit back relax, read, or even watch a show or movie. If I have already washed my hair I like to use a hair towel to keep my hair up and out of my way. This is one of my favorite luxuries besides face masks, bubble bath, and bath bombs. 

As a busy mom there is precious little time for a little pampering or luxury but with these Microfiber hair towels from Bath Blossom you are in for a real treat. Super easy to use just place on your head after leaning forward with hair coming in front of face, twist lightly, lift, and button. That is it for a great way to help dry your hair and keep it out of you face while washing face, using masks, or even while putting on makeup. 

My girls even love these hair wraps which cut down on drying time on busy school mornings. The Bath Blossom hair towels come in a twin pack which can be found at my affiliate link below.

. 

My time that I call for myself and which has kept me sane all these years is my bath time in which I read, relax, and unwind from the day. Sometimes I even sneak in a movie or several episodes of a favorite show while relaxing. 

With taking baths I love bubble baths, bath oils, and bath bombs. They just make it that much more of a special time for just me. With that being said the price on these items can get pretty high, so this is where Pinterest comes in. With a simple search for Bath Bombs Recipes this link came up. Filled with simple to more complicated recipes for bath bombs of all sorts. 

Now you just need to have some kind of mold, we have the above bath bomb molds, but you can use cupcake tins, silicone molds, or anything else you would like to use. I want to work on making some for gifts. Like some with little toys that my youngest daughter and oldest grand daughter like. They will get a kick out of finding a hidden surprise inside. 

I like the metal molds the best because they hold up to constant use. These Bath Bomb Molds from WEBSUN come in three sizes 2 inch, 2.5 inches, and 3 inch. I do want to add a larger on later as we get better at making them but these are great to start with. You mix up your recipe then pack each side with the ingredients and then put both molds together tapping lightly all around the mold then carefully open and remove your Bath Bomb.

The WEBSUN 6 piece Bath Bomb Molds can be found at my affiliate link below.

Tortuga Life Bath Bombs

One of my favorite ways to take time for myself is to take a bath with bubbles and or bath bombs while reading or watching a movie. These bath bombs from Tortuga Life are a perfect size for taking a nice long bath. There are 6 different scents and a bottle of baby bath to take you through many baths ahead. 

I have even used just half of these bath bombs and saved the other half for another bath, that is how nice they are. The scent is nice but not overwhelming, it is non drying, and leaves my body fragrant with the essential oils in each bomb. 

A great choice for gift giving for birthday's, Christmas, Mother's Day. or just any day to give someone who loves bath an extra pick me up. 

The Tortuga Life Luxury Bath bombs can be found on my affiliate link on Amazon.

Bath Toy Organization

Spring time is here so out with the old worn bath toys and in with some new fun toys. I gave this to my granddaughter to use during her bathtimes in our house. I am sure my 8 year old will play them too, but they are mainly for my granddaughters. I love that this set came with two scrubbies, wall hooks to hang them on, a bath organizing bag with two hooks, and 6 tub toys, great gift for any child who love to play in water during their bath times.

Bathtime was always my favorite part of the day as it was for all of my children growing up, from bubbles, toys, and tub crayons. Lots of fun waiting every night.

Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers

Our family enjoys music. When I was younger I would take my boom box if that doesn't date me into the bathroom with me so I could listen to music while showering, this little gem would have been so much lighter and safer then the latter.

This waterproof speaker is great because it is submersible up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes which means if it falls in the tub, shower, pool, sink, etc you are safe for 30 minutes.

Easy to use, charge, very portable, with so many uses. Love the suction cup as well as the buttons to control the device very finger friendly while taking a shower.

So many suds

Personally I have been using Bath Poufs for a long time. Some are great while others just fall apart. This one from Shower Bouquet is the bomb, soft, suds up awesomely, and doesn't put cuts into my body while using it.

Love it, I was able to take one for myself and give one to each of my girls who are still living at home.

I really like that there are different colors so you can tell them apart, and if you are thinking gifts you can break the set of four into four different gifts adding a body wash, body lotion, bath fizzies,and maybe a lip balm in a basket.


You can find the Shower Bouquet Bath Sponge Pouf set on Amazon.

Balance Bath Pillow

As a mother of 6 children on top of watching many others over the years and taking care of the house, the one thing I look forward to when the children are down for the night is a nice hot bath while reading a book.

This is how I like to relax and take bit of time for myself. Over the years I have mixed it up with writing. What I have been on the lookout was a perfect bathtub pillow until recently I hadn't found. Well that all changed when the Balance Bath Pillow came in the mail.


This bath pillow is much larger then those I have had in the past. I don't have to blow them up before using them, so there is no need to worry about it popping either. The Balance Bath Pillow is large enough to support both my head and my shoulders which makes staying in the bath for a long time much more comfortable. I still have to take my ponytail out or pile it further on top of my head, but it is well worth it.

On the back there are not one but seven suction cups which means you are not going to have to worry about it slipping out from under neath of you. This is truly my new favorite bathroom accessory.

You can purchase the Balance Bath Pillow on Amazon.
