This is a quickie, drive-by, household type of post...won't take but a minute but, you might just love the results like we did!
We took our oldest grand daughter Maya glamping this weekend. Once again, I was reminded after raising 5 kids, that our little ones are here to teach the big ones...
Maya & Bart
{the king & queen of dirt}
Long story short, Maya wasn't afraid of getting dirty and Bart wasn't afraid of getting Maya dirtier. At one point, I reached for the disposable wipes to clean the two because our water tank was running low. Low and behold the baby wipes were dry as a bone, gee what a surprise. Ugh!
Maya, our ever ingenious 6 yr old started for the faucet to add some water to the dry container. Lightning BOLT! When she opened the bathroom door of the camper, I saw my trusty bottle of Witch Hazel...
Here's the thing...
You can revive your dried out, unused disposable wipes with a great big squirt of good quality, alcohol free Witch Hazel! So simple it's borderline brilliant because, you can customize the wipes to your needs by adding select EOs.
Let me explain...
I looked at the box of wipes and guess-timated 1/2 cup of Witch Hazel would be needed to moisten and revive the dry wipes left in the box. Here's the easy peazy steps Maya and I followed:
I live the #eolife, I always have a few EOs with me. I decided to incorporate the All Purpose Healing Stick blend of Lavender, Frankincense and Melaleuca to revive the wipes. I added 12 drops of each to the 1/2 cup of Witch Hazel just enough to moisten without dripping (Bonus! Witch Hazel will happily emulsify your EOs) and Wa La! I almost instantly had invigorating healing wipes for us to use.
In case you didn't know... good quality alcohol free Witch Hazel can be a game changer for your skin. A moisturizing astringent/toner that keeps skin bright and pore tight!
If you get a chance, click on this Witch Hazel link and read the 410 almost 5 star reviews for my favorite brand!
Another reason Witch Hazel is a smart choice, the wipes shouldn't mildew after being soaked in Witch Hazel.
