it works!

Well it's been 3 days and I don't stink...(there are people around me who would let me know) I'm very surprised how well it works! You have to get use to using it the coconut oil that holds it all together, it melts with skin contact, so you don't need to put as much on as you do with store bought deodorant.

so if you want to try it (and you should):

1/4 c. baking soda
1/4 c. cornstarch
and 10 drops tea tree oil (it's cleansing)
you can just use that in a powder
or add 2 + Tab. of coconut oil for a stick
( I melted my coconut oil in the microwave)
mix it all together smash it in to an old deodorant container...
Coconut oil is hard at room temperature so you can let it sit and it will firm up
or.. I put mine in the freezer for a few min. to make it hard.
if you don't live some were hot you can keep it in your bathroom if you have a problem with it being to soft keep it in the refrigerator...
I hear you can use lavender oil as well. I have not tried it yet but next time I make it I'm going to try it.
Let me know if you try it and how you like it!

Cleaning Your Face Naturally

Cleaning your face with olive oil...I know right?, how can oil clean your face...    It was a bout a year ago I came across this post about the oil cleaning method. I was doing research to find information on what would be a good face soap i could make. This was not at all what I was looking for and I thought oil really, but I'm one to try it all if just once, and I had olive oil so why not.   Here’s a direct quote from acne.org : “ Oil dissolves oil. One of the most basic principals of chemistry is that “like dissolves like.” The best way to dissolve a non-polar solvent like sebum/oil, is by using another non-polar solvent similar in composition: other oils. By using the right oils, you can cleanse your pores of dirt and bacteria naturally, gently and effectively, while replacing the dirty oil with beneficial ones extracted from natural botanicals, vegetables and fruit that heal, protect and nourish your skin . When done properly and consistently, the OCM...
