October 2020 – Don't Dress Like A Mom

Charcoal Facial Soap

October 21, 2020

Fall is when I get crafty. Something about winter approaching and cool weather makes me want to create and stock up. I make this charcoal facial soap each year since one batch makes about 10 bars. I can gift them and make myself a nice inventory. I’ve been using this soap religiously for years. It’s gently cleansing, detoxing, and makes my skin feel smooth. I love that I know exactly what’s in it – no crazy ingredients, nothing I can’t pronounce, and I can play with it if I feel like adding anything new. I love the deep charcoal color and the smell.

Pumpkin Floral Centerpiece

October 1, 2020

I don’t love pumpkin spice, but I love this pumpkin floral centerpiece (and everything fall, except pumpkin spice). It’s easy to craft and most of the things you need for this project are on sale. You can do same day delivery or curbside pick-up at Michaels! It also lasts for years since we are using a faux pumpkin and faux flowers.
