More Homemades from Amy

Try some of these at home!

Deodorant
This is awesome...
Freeze a hunk of coconut oil with 15-ish drops of essential oils in it (I suggest lavender). Grate the hunk into a food processor.
Add equal parts baking soda and cornstarch. Pulse.
This can be applied to armpits with excellent results.

1/2 c baking soda
1/2 c chamomile flowers
1/2 c cornstarch

Cool down.

2 c sugar
1/4 c lemon juice

Cool to use. Apply with cotton fabric and then tear off.
