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 :)

My Honest Answer 

"Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know a heart thats broke is a heart that's been loved"..."When God takes you back he'll sing hallelujah you're home". Today we went to church, for the first time since I'm not even sure when. It's also where we had the funeral of our son. We got in the car, and I wasn't sure how I was going to handle pulling back in to that church. I think it's partially why I was secretly hoping that when we DID return back to church it would be elsewhere. But, in all fairness, I've grown very fond of Pastor Daniel and the whole congregation of that church. So I decided not to speak up to my husband about visiting a different church, because I knew once we got inside I would be happy I chose to come back to one of the places we said our final goodbyes to our son. We pulled in, and my eyes did swell with tears, but I held them back. Flashbacks from the funeral just kept cre...

Setbacks Over Progress. 

Tonight I was going through my phone, looking through old notes I had left myself in my phone. I noticed one from December 31, 2017. It was before 2018 hit us, and 10 days before our world started to  turn completely upside down.  It was a list of all the good things and accomplishments of 2017.  “Became pregnant with our fourth child”.  Just like that.  I remembered something I’ve been doing a LOT of recently. I’ve caught myself if the good moments, reflecting, but not in a good way. I look at old photos, from before Sadler, or before his pregnancy took a high risk turn, and I just bask in those moments of happiness. I try so hard to remember the happiness i felt in those photos. And just like that, hello guilt.  Almost 5 months has passed, and while there is no routine of how grief plays out, you begin to realize patterns and ways of how you deal and cope with all things associated with your grief. But as the time goes on, you start to notice thi...

My New Fav Go-To Baby Shower Gift - The Breastfeeding Support Basket

A friend of mine is expecting her first baby next month! I wanted to get her something special and meaningful. I knew she was planning to breastfeed, and since it is a topic very close to my heart, I thought a gift of things to make that journey easier for her would be special! I had a lot of fun putting it together too!  I remember what it was like when I had Hasting. Before he was born, I thought breastfeeding was something that just came natural. You just stick your child to the breast, and it was all hunky dory from there.. Easy right? Not necessarily for all new mommies. I missed out on the support that I really needed from others. Sure, I had the support of my husband. But like me, he was new at this breastfeeding thing too.. And it's not like it was something he studied. If I didn't, he surely didn't.  Support from other nursing mothers is one of the BIGESST backbones a new nursing mother can have. Breastfeeding support and help holds a big place in my heart. If it w...
