Healthy, Simple Living


I've always be interested in healthy living.  During the last few years my interest in "simple" living has grown -- mostly driven by the emergency preparedness "prepped" movement.  So today I actually took on a little project and made all-natural deodorant!  I have to admit that it was nice to see the three simple ingredients and know there were no mysterious chemicals in the mix. 


Simply mix together 1/4 cup corn starch + 1/4 cup baking soda and 2+T of coconut oil.  Tea tree oil or other essentials oils can be added along with aloe, but I decided to keep it simple. I re-used an empty deodorant container.  


The appearance, consistency, and scent are very nice!  Perhaps this is the start of something new!

    Simple is better. Easy to say; harder to achieve. Let us know how the de-odor-ant works (or we'll ask the co-workers). Quote for the moment: “The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.” – Joseph Campbell

    I like that quote! Thank you for sharing. So far the experiment is going well -- no complaints from the co-workers. The consistency of the product with need a little tweaking, but that's rather fun--like a science experiment!
