I imply, it truly is true that mason jars make all the pieces higher), however you would possibly select a plastic container to keep away from glass breakage within the rest room.

These jars are for holding yogurt, however they’d be so cute with selfmade scrub in them. Fact is, they’d be cute with ANYTHING in them.
