Leesa’s How To: DIY Sanitizing Wipes

May 26, 2020 by leesalives

Plenty of us have been struggling to find sanitizing and disinfecting wipes in stores and online since the pandemic began. It has been 3 months and I have only just been able to purchase an off brand of Clorox wipes for the first time since February. Desperate times have called for desperate measures, so for the last three months I have been making my own sanitizing wipes using rubbing alcohol and vegetable glycerin.

I mentioned the recipe in a previous post, 30 Days Of Self-Isolation: Budget Friendly Tips To Keep You Safe And Prepared For Anything, but here is a video that I made which breaks down the process and shows you how to do it. I hope this helps! Let me know what you think in the comments.

You can also transfer this mixture into a spray bottle and use it as hand sanitizer if you prefer.

Happy Monday! Don’t forget to center yourself th Happy Monday! Don’t forget to center yourself this week and hold space ONLY for those who will bring you joy and add value to your life. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What is one thing you will do to center yourself this week?

I’m going to do more picnics in the park. There’s a beautiful park just down the road and I never go because I’m telling myself that I don’t have time. This week I’m going to try to go twice.

Good morning and happy Monday everyone! Last wee Good morning and happy Monday everyone! 

Last week sucked. We lost a hero, there was more unrest and trauma, more political turmoil. Hopefully you all used the weekend to heal and center yourself. 

Although you may still be feeling down (I know I was triggered at the gym this morning) I want you to find your strength. Whatever that may be, whether it’s strength that comes from within or from your partner, or your children. Find that thing that makes you stronger and use it to fuel you as you move through the day. Don’t let all this death and sadness stop you from succeeding.

Feeling like a butterfly today! I had been in my Feeling like a butterfly today! 

I had been in my little cocoon of self doubt and uncertainty for so long. Now that I’m finally opening up and spreading my wings the doors are just opening up for me! 

Opportunities I never imagined are right at my fingertips now and it’s such an amazing feeling! 

Remember that you are your greatest roadblock. Once you learn to move past your own insecurities and fears you can literally do anything!
