Hey do you know if one can use bubble bath as liquid soap for your hands? I have a few bottles of that and will not use it in the tub (I get infections from it).
I would definitely use it for liquid hand soap - or even laundry (I would imagine a very little bit goes a long way).

I clean the toilets with shower gel that I won't use. Stuff that's too perfumed makes my nose run, but it works great for a fresh smelling potty.

Hubby used up his second last bar of Zest and I put out the last bar. Thinking I would be smart I bought a bottle of Zest body wash for him. Nope not going to cut it so I will give it to one of the DSs.

Almost done one tube of toothpaste and when I am I will be starting the last one, time to buy some more.

Finished some scrubs that I got for Christmas and some body wash over the last few months. I have used up an antiperspirant and the laundry stain remover. I refilled the laundry stain remover as well as a few other items from the big bottles I had bought.

Lots of Use it Ups happening over the past few months. I have lately been using up bandages. I have been cutting or bumping my hands a great deal. Probably a good thing I am using them up as they are not the stickiest of bandages. I think they could be getting a bit old and time to replace them.

Hubby has used up one of the aloe gel bottles and is halfway through the last one.

Boy it has been a long time since I posted here.

In this time period Hubby used up the last of the Zest and so I purchased some Irish Spring for him. Not doing that again as that seems to disappear very quickly. He is on his third bar in about 2 months. Must be a softer mill on the soap.

I used up the large lavender soft soap type thing and have pulled out the lavender bubble bath to use up as hand soap.

I have also used up one bath and shower gel since I last posted and am almost finished the second. The same can be said for the matching scrubs. I will soon be done the second one of those. I have been washing the jars out well and will fill them with my homemade scrub when I make some later this week.

My hands do not get as dry in the summer or fall, but now that the weather has changed, I will be back to using up the stash of hand and body lotion I accumulate as gifts. I will shortly be done one that I had started just before spring arrived.
