Diy deo. I have been using all-natural deodorants for a couple of years now. The aluminum found in many conventional deodorants has been linked to breast cancer. SCARY! I like to know that only healthy ingredients go into the products that I use every day on my skin. So…guess what has found its way onto my To Do list? Yes, that’s right! I plan to try to make my own deodorant. There are tons of recipes out there – but I have collected a few that seem easy enough to make and have gotten plenty of good reviews. The recipe for Homemade Deodorant found at The Passionate Housewife contains only 3 natural ingredients: Coconut Oil, Baking Soda and Cornstarch (or Arrowroot). Homemade Deodorant 5-6 Tbsp Coconut oil 1/4 cup baking soda 1/4 cup arrowroot powder or cornstarch Combine equal portions of baking soda & arrowroot powder.

By Brenda Ponnay What’s cuter than a button, small enough to fit in a stocking, won’t rot your teeth and leaves you squeaky clean? A mini snow-globe soap, of course! Here’s a super-fun craft you can whip up in an afternoon. It’s quick, it’s easy and it hardly makes any mess!
