Hi there!  I have been busy and haven’t had the time to blog.  I start a new job on Monday and will try to post something at least once a week.

I wanted to say that I am happy that my wonderful Aunt Betty came to my site and read my posts.  I was afraid to share the fact that I opened my own blog.  It’s true, I have found the majority of my information on Pinterest.  Embarrassing and cliche as it may be to admit I have been inducted into the fold of sheep, I do look for something beyond simple. Ever since I experienced healing with over the counter essential oils and staples for a severe case of eczema, I am forever changed!  Now, I seek archaically defined elegance in the sense of simple, real and undeniable results.

So now to the second topic I pondered after homemade eczema salve, deodorant!  I was needing a deodorant fast and found the most simple, recipe quick due to low funds and late hours.  Pinterest to the rescue!!!!!

I was getting ready to go out on a travel assignment and I had everything in my wonderful kitchen.

Very Little Money Deodorant:  Emergency Deodorant!!!!!!!

3 Tablespoons Baking Soda

3 Tablespoons Cornstarch (if you have it use Arrow Root Powder instead)

5 drops of Tea Tree Oil

If you have Bay Leaves for cooking and a coffee grinder or a Ninja, you have the option of using 2 Bay Leaves.

1.  Combine all of your ingredients in a bowl minus Bay Leaves if you have no mechanical grinder. (A mortar and passel might work.  I tried it for a few minutes and gave up.  The leaves were tough and fibrous.  I didn’t have time to play)

2. Place in container of choice.

3.  Apply with a brush or hand dust it on.

If you have a coffee grinder put the leaves in it and grind them.  Add them to your assembled ingredients.

If you have a Ninja or food processor, place all of your ingredients in it and whirl away.    When you think its mixed enough, wait for the dust to settle!!!  Put it in your container of choice.   Apply as able.

Voila!!!!!!

Time:  Less than 5 minutes.

Cost:  Less than 20 cents.

Caution:  Baking soda is very drying!!   I found this out first hand.  It can leave you with red, dry and irritated underarms for many who use so much for more than a couple days.

In my next post, I want to tell you why these ingredients correctly formulated are an amazing break-thru from commercial products!  Down with the man! (I am laughing my butt off as I write this last part.  I love it!!!)  Forget another article on all the harmful ingredients we have been brain washed to use as our only option for underarm hygiene!!! Lets learn what is so wonderful about these simple, earth loving ingredients and spread the incredibly elegant truth!!!
