It’s a cool March day. You come back into the house after shoveling a long path to the compost pile. The smell of Earl Grey tea welcomes you back inside. Or so you think…You learn that this gentle aroma is actually wafting from your wife’s armpits! She tells you she just made her own deodorant scented with Bergamot & Lavender and no longer has to stick tea bags in her pits for that earthy smell. You sigh, shake your head, and smile as you admit, once again, that you have married a home-making genius.
Amy & I got together to make our own brew of deodorants. So simple! It took us about 15 minutes. Ingredients: Shea butter, Cocoa butter, baking soda, vitamin E, and essential oils.
We microwaved & stirred the ingredients together. Next we added the Essential Oils and put it in the fridge until it hardened. When you apply it, you scrape it up (feels like hard lotion - next time we will add glycerin to make it softer), roll it into a ball and apply to your underarms. Very empowering.
Experimenting with scents seems a little difficult at this point, it's hard to know how many drops of each oil one should use. We made one brew of the "Earl Grey" scent & another brew of Sandalwood.
Gone are the days where women have to wear fruity-flowery smells in their underarms. The time has come to let your woody earthy smells boast of a new season…
