Update on Deoderant

Last time I posted I wrote about how I was trying out some homemade deodorant that consisted of baking soda, cornstarch, and coconut oil. After trying it out for a few weeks and using it off and on I have come to my verdict. I do like the deodorant, I cannot use it full time though. The cost aspect of it keeps me using it as often as possible because it is super cheap to make and very little goes a long way. My only issue with it is, it just can't keep up with me. I don't want to get too graphic but on a normal basis, I use prescription strength deodorant, if not I smell like a bag of onions. I use this deodorant full time on the weekends but when I am at work and running around a whole lot, I use my regular deodorant. If you are not like me and do not sweat like an Olympian, then I say you should give this deodorant a try. It smells like sweet coconuts and is a very light scent. Its also easy on your wallet, and easy to apply if you melt the coconut oil down and add your other ingredients to it to form a soft paste to transfer to an deodorant stick. You have to let the mixture sit for a bit to harden before you can use it though, so just keep that mind.

Keep Moving

I have been beyond busy. I have been so busy that I worked out with my boss to only work 4 days a week instead of 5. I work longer days on the 4, only by an hour each, and I get Mondays off. I REALLY need it though. I have SO much on my to do list.

I have been stocking some things on my HC here and there, its going well. I am happy with the pace that it is moving. By the time summer roles around, I will be able to focus alot more time on my business. Right now though, school is #1, or at least it is suppose to be.

Anyways, on a frugal and crunchy side, tomorrow I will be trying out some homemade deodorant I mixed up. I only made a VERY small batch to try it out. I am trying to eat healthy and cut unnessary chemicals from my daily diet. I have been eating 3x as many fruits and veggies in the past 4 days then I have in months and it feels great. Keeping on that note, this is what I did:
1 Tablespoon Baking Soda
1 Tablespoon Cornstarch OR Arrowroot powder
1 Tablespoon (melted) coconut oil
1 drop Tea Tree Oil
And MIX!

I put it in an old baby food jar. It seems like enough for up too 3 days by looking at it, maybe more. I will update tomorrow, wish me luck!
