Most Deodorants you use have ingredients that are not safe for your body. The main active ingredient in most of your anti perspirant deodorants is "Aluminum Zirconium" which can actually block the sweat glands of your underarms. Now you may think this is a good thing, but in truth, it's important for your body to excrete waste and release toxins. I discovered a recipe for natural deodorant about four months ago and have been using it since. It took a couple of weeks before it really started to work, but now it works so much better then any other deodorant I've used. I would defiantly recommend this recipe for anyone who is sensitive to deodorant or anyone who is trying to go natural.
Ingredients.
1/4 cup of Baking soda
1/4 cup of Cornstarch
2-3 tbsp of Coconut oil
3-5 drops of essential oil (optional)
In a small bowl, mix the Baking soda, Cornstarch, and the Coconut oil. Once you have mixed all the clumps out you can add the essential oil. I used an Orange essential oil, but I would recommend somthing gentler, like Lavender or Vanilla. Once everything is mixed, find a small jar or another container, and put the mixture into the container.
You can store the Deodorant in the fridge or in room temperature. I store it on my dresser and use it after a shower. I hope that this recipe will be useful for you or anyone you know that wants to try a healthier lifestyle.

Let's talk about: Hair
You can usually tell that someone has healthy hair just by looking at it. The hair has a shine about it, feels perfectly soft to the touch, and doesn't tangle when you brush it. I'm sad to say that not everyone has hair like this, and it's probably because they don't treat their hair the way it should be treated.
I'll tell you right now that I've never had a perm or have dyed my hair, but I do know what it feels like to have not so healthy locks. Some people may think that only hair that has been chemically treated is unhealthy. That is absolutely wrong. Anyone can have unhealthy hair whether they've dyed it or not. A lot of people are using products that damage their hair. Maybe some of you have heard of sulfates being dangerous for you hair and your health. If you haven't, you need the research and read up about the dangers of harsh sulfates. There are so many other dangerous chemicals in the shampoo we use, so many that after reading about them I decided to stop using shampoo all together. Some of you may say that I'm crazy for not using shampoo and that I must feel dirty all the time. But believe me, my hair has never felt better, and just because I don't use shampoo doesn't mean I don't use other things to clean my hair. And that's precisely why I created this blog. To help you to know the natural ways to clean you hair. In future blog post I'm going to show you all the things I've tried for my hair, what worked and what didn't. So get ready to throw out those expensive shampoos that aren't really doing anything for your hair, and get ready to have beautiful hair that everyone (including yourself) is going to love!
