HOMEMADE NATURAL DEODERANT!


Tried a million different deodorants and didn't like ANY of them? Tired of paying out the ying yang for deoderant? Worried about the chemicals that are a leading factor to cancer? Want to smell more natural without the "natural" smell? Well this is your lucky day! 

After trying a couple of name brand deodorants and none of them working, and after becoming the naturalistic goo-too that I've become I decided to make my OWN deodorant! It's quite simple, and the ingredients are über cheap, and can be used for multiple batches of deodorant! This is just MY recipe that u use, but you can really play around with it to add your own "ump" to it :) 


So what do you need? 

 
I use:
 - 3T coconut oil
-  2-3 drops tea tree oil 
- 2-3 drops lavender oil 
-  5T baking soda
- 2T RAW organic Shea Butter (if you don't have Raw Shea butter, no worries just use more coconut oil. I'll share that recipe as well!)

How do you make it? 

1. Melt your Shea butter & coconut oil in a quart size mason jar with a lid. Just place it in a small saucepan until melted! 

2. Remove from heat & add your baking soda. Mix well. 

3. Add essential oils! 

IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE STORED IN THE FRIDGE!!


Now, if you have no Raw Shea Butter just follow the same directions but use these ingredient proportions: 

- 6T coconut oil
- 8T baking soda
- essential oils of your choosing 


WHY I USE NATURAL DEODORANT!!!: 

Cancer causing agents! DUH! There's a ton of aluminum in deodorants found in store!! It's also cool because I can make deodorant for my mother-in-law & step-mom who are both breast cancer survivors! 

I also noticed something awesome: I sweat LESS! I wasn't expecting it, but holy cow awesome! 

One of the best things: I SAVE MORE MONEY!! Y'all know me, and I'm all about saving money where I can. It is SO CHEAP to make your own deodorant, an lasts 10x longer than deodorants you purchase in store! 

IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED MAKING YOUR OWN DEODORANT, I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO TRY!!!

    Rosie! You can get the tea tree oil at walmart (I think it's about $10 for a good size bottle, a little goes a LOOOOONG way bc it's so strong!). It's in with all the Vitamins :) Lavender you can either get online through doterra oils, or at vitacost.com, OR you can go to Whole Foods and pick a bottle up. It is more pricey @ WF and DoTerra, about $15 or so I believe. It's cheaper at Vitacost, and they ship FAST! Just remember, essential oils go a LONG way, and will last you at least 6 months. My lavender lasted me almost a year, and I just now need to order more (I order through Vitacost). Hope this helps :)

Plans may Fail, but God doesn't

I have decided to not go in to much depth about the passing of Sadler, but I do want to write about it. Writing is very healing for me. The following blog speaks of infant death, please only read at your discretion. Sadler's tiny body reacted negatively to the surfactant that was administered to him to help with the maturity of his lungs. His vitals were stable, until he was given the first dose of those steroids. The first call to come down to the NICU was terrifying. What's even more terrifying is walking in to the nursing staff and the neonatologist reviving your child. Chest compressions and intubation. Stats dropping to a low, low. Loud noises from machines going off. Sitting there, unable to do anything as your child lays there helpless and lifeless. The hospital chaplain approaches and asks if we would like to pray, and of course being a family of faith we do. We cry, and we pray. We pray, and we cry. I text my best friend, Shannon, and asked that she

VBAC Birth Plan

It has been over a year since I last sat down with my laptop for a blog. A LOT has happened. Most people who read these blogs are people who keep up with me frequently, so I won't bore you with some excessively long post about what we've been up to. The biggest thing though, is that we are expecting again! And we are only a little less than 2 weeks away from the delivery of our baby GIRL. I thought I would want to sit down and blog all about pregnancy after loss, and all the highs and lows that come with it. But the truth is, I've just really enjoyed being a little bit more low key with it. We've decided she is our last baby, and my husband took permanent measure to ensure that (love you babe). We announced the pregnancy publicly via social media after we found the gender out around 15 or 16 weeks.  I am planning to have a natural VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), with the hospital that we delivered Sadler at, which is also where Hasting was born

The Natural VBAC Birth of Daragh Wren

On Saturday morning, 12/14, I started having slight bloody show. I also had frequent bowel movements, which can be a sign that labor is near. I continued the day cleaning house, and doing all my normal daily routines. Saturday night, I ended up not getting any sleep. I slept for about an hour. I was having irregular, pretty strong contractions, that kept me up. However, I knew it wasn’t true labor.  Sunday morning, 12/15, I decided to call Chad’s mom and ask her if instead of taking the kids to church, if she would come to our house and sit with them. Because of the intensity of my contractions, I wanted to get out and walk. She came over, and Chad and I went to Aldi and got groceries, and brought them home. We left again and went out to the mall. We had lunch, and then we walked the mall down and back. When I got back, I did a PARTIAL miles circuit, and got on my ball doing a few different exercises to help baby descend. Chad’s mom left, and I got in bed. Around 10pm I noticed
