Home-made Coconut Oil Deodorant Photo by KerryAnn Foster by KerryAnn FosterCooking Traditional Foods Of all of the body products I have made at home, coconut oil deodorant has made me the happiest. I was thrilled to be able to get away from the paraben and aluminum-filled commercial deodorants but still find something that works well. I’ve used this deodorant and it has worked wonderfully well for everything except the heaviest of manual labor days spent mucking out the coops or clearing brush. I like to use citrus essential oils to scent my deodorant, but lavender or rose are also popular choices among women. If you like your deodorant to be thicker, or you need extra absorbing power, you can add extra baking soda or cornstarch. If you like a lighter deodorant, you can transfer the mixture to a bowl and use a stand mixer or hand mixer to whip air in as the coconut oil cools and hardens. Most people report that this recipe keeps them odor-free all day, regardless of their activity level. Homemade Deodorant
Age Exchange - Internationally Renowned for Work in all Areas of Reminiscence How To Build Your Own Tablet Stylus Advertisement Steve Jobs was quite right when he said “If you see a stylus, they blew it.” While a good touchscreen should never require you to use a stylus for standard operations, there are tasks when using your fingers is a bit awkward. You can find a large selection of tablet styluses online and many are very cheap. Building your own stylus is easy, fun, and you must likely have all the materials at home already. Here is a suggested list of ingredients: old penwire, e.g. from an old electric cablesoft conductive material, e.g. household foama pair of scissors or a cutter So here is what I did. Then I disassembled an old plastic pen. I used wire with about 2.5 times the length of the pen and wrapped it around the foam… …and tested the raw stylus on my tablet to make sure it works. Next, I pulled the wire with its end first through the narrow tip of the pen and wrapped the wire around the outside of the pen, all the way to the bottom. To make it look a little nicer, I trimmed the tip.

Eco-Fashion is More Than a Passing Trend Silk-Dyed Eggs {aka TIE-Dyed!} I posted this tutorial a few years ago and it has become somewhat of a tradition to bring it back every year! One of our family Easter traditions is dying eggs with pieces of silk. I saw a cute lady show Martha how to do it a few years ago and I ran upstairs right then to steal a tie! It’s way cooler than those cups of neon liquid that end up all over your clothes, your furniture and your hands plus it gives you an excuse to rid a man’s closet of ugly ties. Here’s the run-down: You need 100% silk for this to work. I try to find an assortment of colors and patterns. Usually it will tell you if it’s 100% silk right on the main label of the tie, but a lot of them don’t, and if that’s the case, check that little tiny end, it’s usually hiding there. The first step is to deconstruct the tie. Next you cut a piece large enough to cover an egg. Now, notice how I tied the eggs in the above photo- with the tie on the top of the long side of the egg. I wish eggs came like this at the grocery store.
