Sickness is running rampant in the girls' school and I've been preaching hand washing to my girls as much as possible these past few weeks. One of my favorite DIY recipes to make this time of year is DIY foaming hand soap and you won't believe how easy it is to make yourself! This post is in partnership with NOW® Foods. All opinions are my own. I don't know about you, but the cooler weather that comes with Fall definitely brings with it dryness.
