Rather than purchasing a store bought air freshener save some money and make your own. Next time it's time to change the toilet paper roll, put a few drops of essential oil, such as lavender, on the inside of the roll. The smell lasts as long as the roll does. I also save the rolls for the kids to decorate and then use them around the house for a few days as an air freshener. It's a great way to save money and show off the kids' art!

Reusing Water For Flowers

When my children are finished swimming for the day in their wading pool, I reuse the water by watering my garden with it. It saves money on the water bill as well as saving a natural resource. There aren't any chemicals in it so it won't hurt the flowers and vegetables. Every little bit of recycling can go a very long way.

Its Worth It To Buy The Best

You may pay a dollar more on Scott toilet paper, but i want a superior product that does not effect or clog my septic system. This is the thickest toilet paper around and it does the job. The rolls are big, they last longer and still they are so gentle. They are great with those little make up blunders, and they don't get soggy. Scott is the best.
