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 :)

Easy Homemade Fruit Snacks!

Fruit snacks are awesome, if they aren't filled with preservatives, HFCS (high fructose corn syrup), and all that other nasty crazy mess that's unknown. They're an easy snack, so it's something that's easily reached for. I always feel better making my OWN stuff for Hasting, because I know exactly what's in it. Even IF it isn't all organic ingredients, I still feel sooo much better knowing what's going in his and my (yes I eat these things too!) body!  A friend of mine made these a couple of weeks ago when we went to her house, and I'm pretty sure her recipe was the same! They are so good, and such a hit with Hasting! They won't last long in our home, and are good refrigerated OR kept at room temperature.  THE INGREDIENTS:  - 2/3C fresh lemon juice or orange juice (if you don't want sour/tangy I suggest using orange juice). I didn't have orange juice, nor FRESH lemon juice so I settled for what I had this go round!  - 2/3C of frozen OR fre...

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...

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 not...
