Soaps for All Ocassions

 Lately I have been going nuts trying to keep up with the dirty dishes in my house! We do not have a dishwasher and my husband thinks I am pathetic to want one because we are a small family of three and he said that there is no reason for dishes to be in the sink! Well between all of my obsessive hand washing throughout the day plus the slaving over hand washing dishes my hands are SO DRY! I have a whole system and different soaps that I use for specific levels of dirtiness lol! Like if I just touched something not too germy I use my organic watered down liquid castile soap from a foam pump bottle ( not harsh on my hands! ) And then if I wipe my dog's tushie after she makes number two outside or touch eggs and raw meat while cooking I always reach for some anti-bacterial dish or hand soap ( but then there are harmful chemicals in these anti-bacterial soaps so I ONLY use these soaps when I touch something again that is very germy! ) When my hands are very dry I try to put some organic coconut oil on them and then when I need to wash them I will use a gentle bar soap which seems to leave a layer or residue which acts as a barrier over my little cuts and dry skin cracks. Also I use natural melted down Beeswax infused with coconut oil as a skin balm. This makes the water bead off and totally protects the skin:)! I just wanted to share some tips because I know us homemakers work very hard and often our hands take a beating so take some time to pamper them once in a while ~ because you know they have some more hard work ahead of them again! But it is totally worth it knowing we are providing a clean and safe environment for our loved ones right?!:)!!!
