Homemade Baby Wipes/ Makeup Remover Cloths!
I got this idea and recipe from another blogger and you can visit her blog {here}! :) 



Supplies:
*Coconut Oil
*Roll of paper towels
*Baby wash (or your favorite wash)
*2 cups warm water


Instructions:

1. Begin by melting 1 cup of warm water and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over low heat.
2. While 1/2 the solution is melting, cut  1/4 of the paper towel roll and remove the bits and pieces of the paper towel.

3. Add a squirt of baby wash, or any wash that you prefer, to 1 cup of warm water.
4. Place the towel section into a container with a leak-proof lid (fuzzy side down) and add both solutions (the coconut oil/water and the baby wash/water). Turn the container upside down for at least 5 minutes.
5. Open the container and take out the cardboard center. Pull paper towel up and place into a pop-up container, or keep it in the one you already used!

The cost breakdown:
Coconut oil- $5.98
Bounty Paper towel- $1.00
Baby wash- $1.00
Total- $7.98
Now, the paper towel roll has 52 sheets to it. Since I divided it into 4 sections, that means I'll have a total of 208 paper towels.
$7.98/208= .04¢ per wipe! You can't beat that :)

The possibilities are ∞ [endless] !

I am so excited to find an alternative to the expensive store bought wipes that sometimes irritate my skin. These wipes can also be used as make-up remover wipes because of the coconut oil! I will update y'all after I use them for a while!
