Cleaning upside down magic refers to the process of tidying up after a magical mishap or accident. In the Upside-Down Magic book series, written by Sarah Mlynowski, Lauren Myracle, and Emily Jenkins, the characters attend a special school called Dunwiddle Magic School. At this school, the students are sorted into different magic classes based on their abilities. However, some students, known as "upside-down magic" students, have magic that doesn't quite fit into the traditional categories. These upside-down magic students possess unique and unconventional powers that often lead to unpredictable and messy results. For example, one student might have the ability to turn into a rock or make things float, while another student might have the power to make inanimate objects come to life.
A couple things to look for in your soap dispenser:
tip if you don t have sweet almond oil, you can substitute another oil such as, olive oil, fractionated coconut oil, jojoba oil, or apricot kernel oil or you can omit the oil altogether. This recipe will work in a regular soap dispenser, but if you have a foaming one, the soap will last a lot longer as you only use a small fraction of the amount of soap with a foaming dispenser as you do with traditional soap dispenser.
One of my favorite things to do at the start of every season is to make my own scented hand soaps. And fall is no different.
Making my own scented hand soap is a great way to save money! While the costs vary by which essential oils you use, it generally costs me way less than a dollar to make a bottle of my all-natural hand soap. In contrast, store-bought hand soaps like those from Bath & Body Works retail for over $7 each. Even if you take advantage of their half-price sales, this homemade hand soap is a MUCH better deal.
And best of all, you can customize your DIY soap to any cozy fall scent you want. I’ve shared 20 of my favorite fall and Halloween hand soap recipes below. They’re all made with essential oils and 100% natural ingredients. There’s pumpkin spice, apple orchard, candy corn, woodland walk, vanilla bean candle, and lots more amazing fall recipes.
I have no idea why anyone would buy hand soap from Bath & Body works when they could make this all-natural liquid soap instead.
For example, one student might have the ability to turn into a rock or make things float, while another student might have the power to make inanimate objects come to life. Because of these magical quirks, upside-down magic students often find themselves in messy situations. Whether it's accidentally turning a classmate into a duck or causing objects to randomly change shape or color, their magic can be a challenge to control.
What’s in my foaming hand soap?
It’s super easy to make your own foaming soap with essential oils! All you need are a few ingredients, and in about 1 minute, you can whip up an moisturizing foaming hand soap.
Like most homemade liquid hand soaps, my recipe starts with liquid Castile soap, but mine doesn’t stop there. I also add a touch of sweet almond oil and vegetable glycerin to make my hand soap extra moisturizing. My soap recipe is tough on germs, but also very gentle on hands. And since many of us deal with dry hands and chapped skin during the fall months, this is the perfect fall hand soap.
liquid unscented Castile soap
Dr. Bronner’s liquid Castile soap is the main ingredient in most homemade hand soaps. Made from five types of organic oils, it’s about as natural as it gets. It’s great at thoroughly cleaning hands but doesn’t strip skin of its natural oils, making it great for dry, chapped skin.
sweet almond oil
One thing I add to my DIY hand soap is a touch of sweet almond oil for extra moisturizing. Sweet almond oil is rich in vitamin D which makes it extremely nourishing and great for all skin types. Best of all it’s one of the gentlest oils and an ideal moisturizer, especially for dry and irritated skin.
substitutes: If you don’t like sweet almond oil or have someone who’s allergic to tree nuts, then you can easily substitute another carrier oil for the sweet almond oil. Apricot kernel oil or jojoba oil work very well in this hand soap.
vegetable glycerin
Vegetable glycerin does several things to make this soap better than typical homemade hand soaps. First, like sweet almond oil, vegetable glycerin also helps moisturize skin. Second, vegetable glycerin helps emulsify the other hand-soap ingredients and keep them better mixed together. And third, it thickens the hand soap which also improves foaming and yields a luxurious lather.
essential oil
I use essential oils as an all-natural way to scent my fall hand soap. Cinnamon, clove, sweet orange, vanilla, cedarwood, and spruce are just a few of the essential oils that evoke feelings of warm, cozy fall favorites.
See all 20 fall-scented recipes below to find your favorite essential oil combination. There are essential oil recipes for pumpkin spice latte, apple orchard, gingersnap cookies, mulled cider, vanilla bean candle, and many more.
distilled water
Water is used to help the hand soap foam and dilute it. One bottle of this DIY foaming hand soap last at least four times as long as regular (non-foaming) hand soap. How’s that for budget friendly?!
substitute: If you don’t have distilled water, you can use filtered water that’s been boiled and cooled instead.
When these magical mishaps occur, it's up to the characters to clean up the mess. This process is known as cleaning upside-down magic. The characters use various techniques and spells to reverse the effects of the magic and bring everything back to normal. Cleaning upside-down magic requires careful attention to detail and a thorough understanding of how each character's unique power works. It often involves a combination of physical cleaning, such as wiping up spills or putting things back in their proper place, as well as using specific magical spells or items to undo the effects of the magic. In the Upside-Down Magic series, cleaning upside-down magic serves as a metaphor for accepting and embracing individuality and differences. The characters learn that just because their magic is different doesn't mean it's any less valuable or powerful. With the help of their friends and teachers, they learn to control their magic and use it in positive and productive ways. Overall, cleaning upside-down magic is an integral part of the Upside-Down Magic book series. It highlights the challenges and rewards of embracing individuality and accepting oneself, while also emphasizing the importance of teamwork and friendship..
