the Deodorant Saga

I have finally returned to my deodorant blog to get quantities because i require more and i realized that it's been almost 2 years since i made the first batch! i am pretty frugal with my things that i like i have been using store bought as well to make it last a bit longer and i lost a bar for a while but 2 years! thats crazy. sadly i used a fragrance oil that i can no longer find and i will have to make due with my new supply but i am excited. i did make several things with the ingredients i had for the first batch so i had to supplement some of my things. i made two more batches of deodorant, some lipsticks and a few lotions. i also found cocoa butter at walmart for under $5 and shea butter from a local "hippy" store for $7. so my costs of initial creation is going down. i also found that i prefer to use old deodorant containers to keep it in, it's easier to apply and it's not just a mysterious white circle in the fridge easily mistakable for cheese (bad times). using my own deodorant has decreased the darkness under my arms and using a rare exfoliating routine has helped too. but the lotions and moisturizing has helped so much in keeping my under pits so much happier. i break out less and i feel comfortable shaving more often. so happy times. :D
