This page is dedicated to clever ideas that will save you time and money! Now that's SMART!

Smarty Pants Idea #1:  Foamy Soap
Here is my first smart idea to share with you! Bath and Body Works sells tons of fun fabulous soaps and soap dispensers! But did you know that you don't have to throw that cute dispenser away when it's empty?! You can make your own foamy soap to refill it! You can make a cheap generic Walmart bottle of regular hand soap last a year!
Step 1: Fill the empty bottle dispenser with 1 inch of liquid soap.
Step 2: Fill the rest of the bottle up with hot water. The hot water will help dissolve the liquid soap.
Step 3: Shake up the bottle and mix well
Ta-da! You now have a filled bottle of foamy soap!

Smarty Pants Idea #2: Foamy Soap Dispenser Disguise

Now that you know how to refill your soap dispenser you can also change it up and decorate it yourself!
Step 1: Peel off the label from your dispenser. Clear ones work the best!
Step 2: Replace the label with cute stickers with words or pictures to decorate
Step 3: Add a cute bow if you like!
Step 4: Enjoy looking at the cute soap dispenser you made every time you wash your hands!


Smarty Pants Idea #3: Pushpin Clothespins/Magnets

Magnetic Clothespins
Pushpins are great for bulletin boards, cork boards and message boards. However, sometimes you just don't want to poke holes in your things! So how about a clothespin with a pushpin attached so you can have the best of both worlds? Also, I like to decorate to my tastes so I recommend jazzing them up a bit! Paint them, sticker them, or bejewel them! You can make them match whatever your decor is! The kids also love painting these and making them match their style! I recommend using an acrylic paint. It will cover your clothespin better.  If you want them for magnet message boards or your refrigerator then add magnets to the back!
