Kitty messes no more

Having inside kitties mean taking care of the cat box and all the mess it involves. This is where a cat litter mat comes in handy. Before we had a litter mat our kitties would trail little crumbles from the litter box from the kitchen into the living room and then on whoever they decided to lay on. 

With a cat litter mat like this one from from Leokis which comes in three colors coffee, beige, and grey, most if not all of the mess will be deposited onto the mat. What I like about this mat next to the others we have is that it has swirls which really help catch everything. 

The mat is easy to clean as well we just take it out side and hit it a few times like they used to do to clean rugs along time ago. Then we just replace and it is ready to use again. If it gets really dirty I suggest doing the same to get as much debris as possible and then hosing off and letting it air dry. 

When you get this mat is is rolled up and you may need a little help getting it to lay flat, which is easily done by covering with a towel and using an iron to flatten or just placing a few heavy items on top for a few hours. This mat is a nice size at 35.4 x 24 inches, certainly big enough for a large cat little box.

Boy my mom would have loved to have these back in the day when she would have to work on my fathers back after a long day on the farm. We deal with acne, boils, pimples, blisters, and the like here in our home and these little tools really save time and money.

I do suggest watching a few videos and as always check with your Dr. before doing anything medical to your body. When using these make sure you start with a clean surface and make sure to sanitize thoroughly after each use. I love that this comes in a nice padded case to keep your tools separated and safe between use.

Bath Fizzy DIY Fun

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.

Green Gobbler Apple Melon

I love this product for many reasons. The most important being that I don't have to worry about filling landfills with tons of bottles. I  can make 4-8 containers of the Green Gobbler Apple Melon all purpose cleaner with one bottle. I just fill my bottle to the neck area with warm water and put in one green pack for normal cleaning or two for heavy duty cleaning but to be honest I have never had to add 2 but the option is there. You also get 2 microfiber cloths and the bottom of the bottle holds the refills so you never have to worry where you might have stored them, and you can see right away when you need to order more. 

Because of the easy access to the bottom of the bottle I suggest keeping this as well as all cleaners out of reach of children. The spray bottle has an off, stream, and spray setting. This cleaner is great for all around house cleaning, workshop, and garden use. My other favorite part is the price you would be hard pressed to find a deal like this other then at dollar stores or with the use of coupons.
