The DIY life.

I had mentioned in an earlier blog that I had made my own Homemade Deodorant. I wasnt comfortable sharing the how-to until i had actually used it. I wouldnt want to tell you all about it and then have it set my arm pits on fire and have to retract all my information. But no fear dear readers, no such thing happened. Now i don't always wear deodorant, its just not something that i was ever religious at. I know you are probably thinking, "this chick is gross, she doesnt shampoo and condition her hair, she rubs coffee grounds all over her legs, plays in the mud." While all of these statements are true to a point, you can ask my friends and family, 90% of the time I do not smell offensive and am relatively clean! While testing out the deodorant I had my huband smell test me often and be honest if i was smelly or not. He said i had no smell so i deem that a success! So if you want to make your own deodorant here it what to do!

1/4 cup baking soda 1/4 cup corn starch 5 tablespoons of coconut oil essential oils (i left out the essential oils when i made mine, only because i dont have any!) throw all these ingrediants into a bowl and mix em together.

It takes a bit of elbow grease to blend it all with the coconut oil but then you should have an almost soild mix. Depending on what you like, and your environment, (it has a tendency to get melty in a hot climate) I have read that you can try to mush it all into an old (empty) stick of deodorant and use it that way. I put mine into an old candle jar because thats what i like.

Well there you have it. Rememeber, this is a deodorant, not anti-persperant. So while you may not be smelly, you may be a bit moist, depending on your body. If you try it let me know in the comments i would love to hear your experience! 

Till next time!
