Ever since I purchased a big bottle of Dr. Bronner’s Castille Soap*, I’ve been looking for things to make with it. So far, it’s been a lot of foaming hand soap and not much else. That is, until I realized that I was running dangerously low on eye make-up remover. Enter in the quest to find a DIY version that would be gentle on my skin and still effective in taking off my eye make-up. The first few (dozen) recipes that I found online all contained witch hazel. Not knowing if I had any on hand, I kept scouring. I…

We’re another day closer to The Kid’s birthday party, which means we are testing out yet another Cinco de Mayo themed craft: plastic egg maracas. And this one is a definite winner (thank god).

Looking for a fun way to combine science and art? Then you have to try your hand at watercolor painting with rubbing alcohol. You’ll be amazed at the beautiful creations you come up with as a result. Watercolor painting is my jam. I would go so far as to call painting with watercolor fun. It’s the thing that brought me back to art and painting. And it’s the thing I continue to fall back on whenever I feel the urge to create. (Which is often.) So when I came across a few watercolor-related tutorials online, I knew I would be…
