This is a fun way of leaving secret messages for each other on Valentine's Day

Materials

Liquid Hand or Dishwashing Soap
Cotton Swab
Mirror

Directions

Put a couple drops of liquid hand soap or dish washing soap into a cup. Use a cotton swab or your finger to write a message on the mirror in the bathroom. Make sure it is thin enough to be invisible.

Next have a loved one take a hot shower with the door closed. As they step out of the shower, they will be greeted by your message. Don’t take hot showers? Then just breathe hard on the message and presto it appears.

What's Going On?

The soap breaks up the surface tension of water and keeps the mirror from becoming fogged up with steam.
