good finds at the dollar store

16 September 2014

You all know I love the dollar store. I even did a whole post on some of my favorite finds. I had not been to the dollar tree in a LONG time (months, which is a record for me) and I needed some clips for my hot rollers, so it was a good excuse to go in and browse.

Shugar Soapworks soap -- this is a big bar of soap, so pretty, made in the USA, no parabens, made from essential oils and plant-based ingredients. What a great little gift or to fill a glass jar in the bathroom. They sell for sell for $8 a bar on Amazon!
