DIY Hand Sanitizer

This post is a little different for me. It was done mostly out of anger. I hate seeing people taken advantage of. When i was watching one of my usual news programs, I saw that someone on Amazon, was selling a case of 24 travel sized hand sanitizers for $400.00! I can’t begin to tell you how angry it made me. They were preying on people’s fears to make a profit!

The sad thing is that the stores are out of hand sanitizer, as well as most cleaning supplies. When i said that people are panicking, that was more proof than I needed.

I went on the CDC’s website to see what they had to say. They had the recipe to make your own hand sanitizer. It was easy & inexpensive. They said to mix 1/3 cup of Aloe Vera Gel with 2/3 cup 99% Alcohol. I couldn’t find the 99% anywhere, but I did have 91% on hand.

I hope you don’t need this, but it’s nice to know how to make it if you do.

Happy Creating everyone!

Organizing My Brain Dump ~ My Dirty Little Secret

I have a habit of jotting down ideas while I’m sitting at my desk. The only problem with that is that I jot the ideas down on just about anything that’s handy. When my desk was filled with post-it-notes, index cards, scrap paper, I had a panic attack. It was overwhelming. I needed to find a way to have all of those ideas organized & easily accessible. This is what I came up with;

I started with a 2″ binder that I’d gotten at Walmart, some pocket dividers, tabs, card stock, page protectors & some notebook paper. I copied all of those little scraps of papers (filled with my ideas) onto notebook paper.

I can’t tell you how much I love how much this project has helped me. I can now find ideas easily & they’re organized by Season & Holidays!
