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 :)

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...

DIY ok to wake clock!

Recently, I added an "OK to wake" clock in my Amazon shopping cart. Hasting needs help determining when the time is appropriate for him to wake, and when it's appropriate for him to come out of his room. Some days it's normal hours, others, not so much. I need time to myself to start my day. I've been wanting to wake around 6am myself, have time to make (and enjoy) a HOT cup of coffee, meditate, complete some morning yoga, and talk to Jesus. BUT , with a kid thinking it's ok to take over my space at 6am, I haven't been able to even START that sort of routine.  A while back a friend had talked about a DIY "ok to wake" clock. Up until now, I had shoved the idea off, and wanted to just buy one because they seemed cooler, lit up, and played cool noises. But, I quickly discovered they're $30. So, I decided since I had all I needed to do the DIY clock, why not give it a whirl first, seeing as I love being thrifty and like saving money and all. So, ...

Strawberry Oat Flaxseed Muffins

I'm a sucker for muffins, and even better... So is my son. Which in my case is great.  I used to buy the lovely processed packages that we are all guilty of probably purchasing at least  once.. Right? But then, once upon a time, we decided that crap is SO bad for us. As much as I hate cooking, I've actually found that the more I do it, and the healthier it is, the more I like to do it.  So I started looking around for muffin recipes that I could basically just alter, and pump with natural ingredients to replace things like butter and sugar, and preservatives to be replaced with real fruit. May I also add, homegirl at pioneer woman has got it goin on (I love her recipes).  So here's what I came up with. ** You can use bananas instead of honey as a sweetener if you'd like, but since Hasting is having issues with bowel movements, I'm staying clear of bananas atm. Use 2 bananas if you use bananas ** 2.5C old fashioned oats  1C vanilla Greek yogurt 2 eggs  3 tsp...
