10 Insanely Clever Items Every Woman MUST have in her bathroom!

Hello everyone! I am back with another blog post! And today I am showing you 10 insanely clever items every woman should have in her bathroom! These items are kind of like life hacks that will help make life a little easier!


1. LAVENDER OR FRANKINCENSE ESSENTIAL OIL.

These are m top two all-purpose essential oils for the body. I love adding a few drops of Lavender to my Epsom salt bath or adding a drop of some coconut oil to kick my moisturizer up a notch. A drop of Frankincense is wonderful as a perfume and amazing for skin health! Just make sure you choose a reputable brand. You can buy them in retail or wholesale, whatever fits your needs!

2. NON-GMO CORNSTARCH FOR DIY DRY SHAMPOOO.

You know those days where you just don't feel like getting your hair all pretty, but you still want to hide any grease that might blow your cover? That's where this easy DIY dry shampoo comes in! 

Just wash out a old spice container that has a cap for sprinkling and fill with non-GMO corn startch. Then keep the container on hand for all these days you just need to extend your last shampoo a day longer! 

To use just sprinkle a little bit in your hands and rub together. Then massage into your roots and finish with a hair dryer if needed.

3. EPSOM SALT (MAGNESIUM SULFATE) OR MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE

Epsom salts can feel like a miracle in a bag when you need a little help relaxing. A few cups added to a warm bath can serve many purposes all-in-one! Not only is it incredibly relaxing, but it's also a great way to get a transdermal source of magnesium, and can help ease your into going to bed. Simply add 1-4 cups of Epsom salt to a bath. If you're new to Epsome salt soaks, you might want to start of with a cup and increase by a little bit each bath. Since Epsom salt baths can make you a little on the drowsy side, they are best done before bed until you're familiar with your bodies reaction.

I actually prefer using magnesium chloride flakes to make a magnesium spray over using Epsom salts, as it absorbs more through the skin, but it tends to be a little pricier and more difficult to find. 

4. BAKING SODA.

Baking soda is a must in ANY bathroom. From cleaning, to soaking, to occasional teeth polishing, it's an inexpensive multi-purpose item that can save time and money.

5. UTI TEST STRIPS

I'm going to take a wild guess that if you're a female then you're familiar with what a urinary tract infection is, from either having one yourself or recalling a friend suffering in misery. That's why I LOVE these test strips that can help you detect one early in the comfort of your own home. They are especially helpful for anyone with painful bladder syndrome (also called interstitial cystitis or IC) that can actually mimic symptoms of a urinary tract infection without actually having one! This particular test looks for leukocytes (white blood cells) and nitrites in urine to indicate signs of infection. There are also some more advanced test tips, but they are a little harder to understand, so they are probably not the best choice your first time around. 

6. MENSTRUAL CUP

Tampons and pads should be things from the past, since they carry health risks. If you haven't given the menstrual cup a try, there is a no greater time than the present. :) Keep in mind that they do come in different sizes, usually one for pre-birth and one for post birth. It is all in what  you are most comfortable with!

7. COCONUT OIL OR JOJOBA OIL

If you're connected to the internet, my guess is that you know about coconut oil. If you don't already have it in your bathroom as a natural product staple, you may want to start. I love using it for an all body moisturizer, makeup remover and for oil pulling! If coconut oil doesn't work for your skin, Jojoba oil is a skin-friendly alternative.

8. SHOWER CAP

Washing your hair every day is a big no-no for hair health. If you prefer showing instead of taking a bath, a shower cap can come in handy! Now days they make the cutest shower caps to! Like this adorable one shown in the picture below.

9. EXFOLIATING GLOVES

These things are the best thing ever for achieving soft skin and they are so inexpensive. Not only can they help prevent ingrown hairs, but they are fabulous for exfoliating all part of the body! I loe using them every 1-2 weeks to help remove dead skins cells, but be careful not to exfoliate to often or you can irritate your skin. 

10. CASTILE SOAP

This one product can have so many purposes. From making your own DIY hand soap, adding a tiny bit to the bath, or even using it to clean your tub, toilet, sink and counter (with a little baking soda), it comes in super handy. It's also ultra concentrated, so a little bit goes a LONG ways in your natural product arsenal. 

Are any of these natural products are already a part of your bathroom?

If so please share in the comments! 

Take care!
