Day one of Deodorant from home

I had some friends over today, some close friends. Before my shower I got a friend to do a sniff test for my homemade deodorant. I had put it on last night, slept a normal night and then broke a sweat cleaning. She didn't even catch a whiff of anything funky. IT WORKS! I also have a feeling that my nightmare of white pit stains on my black shirts and clumpy deodorant pits are behind me. It's a lotion! It sinks into your skin and I daresay it will help improve the skin irritation from shaving too! So far no skin reactions anywhere, under-boob or otherwise. Can you tell I am enthusiastic? I can't wait to update for a week or even a month of happy pits and nostrils.

This is also the completion of week one on the "No Shampoo" experiment. Some would say it's a necessity but I think back to our Native American days where all we has was a lake to bathe in. I found a website with the suggestion of 1 tbs. Baking Soda to 1 cup of water for a "shampoo" concoction. I found it's hard to do, it's quite watery and I prefer more of a paste style created from mixing as little water as possible then using it exactly like shampoo. A bit gritty but so far my dandruff is much decreased and a box of baking soda goes for $.52!

Follow up with... "conditioner" any mix of water and Apple Cider Vinegar that suits your nostrils. I actually like the smell and it will rinse out of your hair with enough time under the faucet. If you want a nice mild proportion to start out with they suggest 2 tbs. per cup of water. I use it like any other rinse, with the bottle of my "ACV conditioner" I pour it directly onto my scalp and hair making sure my hair is wet and cold to make sure it's in there good, it's cheap, I use a lot. Let it set for a min. or two and then rinse for as long as you still smell vinegar. After my hair is all dry it's soft and shiny and clean as a... clean head of hair. hee hee. Just ask I'll let you fluff and molest my hair for proof.

I have some websites a friend mentioned to go through and if there are any suggestions let me be your personal guinea pig.
