Home made recipes to share? Deoderant

Hi

Does anyone have home made recipes that are healthy & safe such as Laundry detergent, tooth paste, soap, salves? I am interested in putting together a recipe blog of this sort to share. So please if you are like minded email me with your recipes that you have tried and like.

Thank you

Here is the first one I have found

DEODERANT RECIPE, ylang yang and orange from Any Karol

3 Tablespoons shea butter
3 Tablespoons baking soda
2 Tablespoons corn starch
2 Tablespoons cocoa butter
2 vitamin E oil gel caps (puncture and squeeze out the oil)
Essential Oil (I used ylang yang and orange) Feel free to try other oils but be careful to use oils that are safe for skin.

I melted all the ingredients (except the oils) and gave it a good stir. If you do this on the stove use a thermometer, if you make it to hot for to long the crystals will seperate and cause problems. Then added the oils, stirred again, and poured it in a jar, then placed it in the fridge to set. This recipe filled the jar in my hand, which is a 1/4 pint.

You can buy the cocoa butter and shea butter from us at info@floor-n-more.com

along with many other ingredients, oils, salts and may other skin care items.

I'm on week 3 and it works so well, I am stunned. When it's cold in the bathroom, it's not as smooth, but the warmth from my fingers softens it up enough to spread on. On hot days the texture is perfect. I can scoop a little bit out of the jar, roll it into a pea-sized ball, and rub it in. I am very very happy with it. I found other recipes online for cream deodorants that have beeswax, vegetable glycerin all kinds of combos.

It smells wonderful. And remember to make small batches. the Vit E helps tto preserv e it. You may want to add a little vegetable glycerin to make it softer.

It works well, try it and let me know what you think or if you would like to order some form us. Carin

Woman Owned Business & summer eats

Boy I want to share something, a valuable lesson I learned in life and construction. As a woman and a business owner many men are really nasty. Down right mean. They not only want you to fail they go out of their way to do unethical and unlawful things to make you miserable and destroy your business. They do not play well with other!

There is so much $ and work out there. More then enough for all of us to make a good living. But no they have to be so competitive and cruel.

I will not give up I just keep moving forward and doing the right thing as much as possible. I am a strong and determined woman. When one door closes another opens and that is so true.

I recommend to all women do not give up. If it will not work one way then try another until it works.

Also encourage other women. And go out of your way to buy from Women first when ever possible. If you go to buy a car tell then no thank you I want a woman sales person. Same thing in any business where there is a choice. The good old boy network needs to learn just how powerful women can be.

And by all means stick together. Hire women when ever possible.

The best advice I eve received was “so your afraid, so be afraid and do it anyway” from my Mom Iris Becker.

Now for fruitful sharing.

It is summer and great tomatoes, zuccini, cucumber… Try heirloom types. They have less cellulite and a MUCH BETTER OLD FASHIONED FLAVOR. You will be so happy you did.

I wait all year for fresh fruit and veggies. I eat tomatoes like apples. I know some of you are saying gross but I love it.

As far as quilting goes I am in the process of making 2 quilts. I am involved with quilts for kids thru Zoey Quilts and also Quilts for Kids. I will try to get a pic on here soon.

Quilting is so relaxing for me. I know some of you are thinking I am nuts, LOL. But it really does. Try it you may like it.

Talk to you soon
