DIY Deodorant

I bought the ingredients (really just the arrowroot powder) about 8 months ago to make this and just procrastinated about doing it for fear that it would just be a disaster.  But, I work from home, so I figured the only one who would have to suffer if this didn’t work would be my husband, who also works from home.  So, off we go.  Into a world with a non-toxic and aluminum free deodorant that works.  It actually does an amazing job and smells divine.  Plus, it is easy to apply and your body will thank you for this lovely chemical free option.

Ingredients:
1/4c arrowroot powder
1/4c baking soda
5 TBS coconut oil (I used liquid, but I am sure that the solid version would work as well)
5 drops of any lovely essential oil combination you can dream up.  I used lavender and lime for this one because, SPRING.  Lemon and lavender, tea tree and lavender, and if you feel like being awesome and your husband is on board, whip up one made from cedarwood and lemon for the man in your life.

Directions:
Combine it all in a bowl and stir.  Add to glass storage container and apply.  That is all!

*A note about oils.  Buying quality oils MATTERS people.  If you are going the non-toxic, chemical-free route, make sure that you are using oils that are of the best purity.  We use Young Living and wouldn’t do any other brand because they have a wonderful Seed To Seal promise.  Read more about it here:  http://www.youngliving.com/en_US/discover/seed-to-seal

Additionally, I send over a fabulous ehandbook from The Happy Oils to help you on your journey and have a huge support team available to assist you in your journey and answer questions!

If you want to order your VERY own amazing kit that includes 11 of their most well-loved and most frequently used oils and a diffuser, here is how to do it:

1. Click over to the sign-up page: https://www.youngliving.com/signup/?site=US&sponsorid=1842761&enrollerid=1842761

2. Select “Sign Up As: Young Living Wholesale Member” (this secures you the 24% off discount on all future orders)

3. The “Enroller ID” and “Sponsor ID” boxes should already be filled in for you. If they aren’t, fill in 1842761 in both spots.

4. Fill out your name, billing address, shipping address, and contact info. (The reason you are asked for your SSN is for tax purposes; if you make over $600/year selling Young Living products, you will receive a 1099 form in the mail, as is required by law. Young Living never shares this info with anyone, and you’re not obligated to sell anything if you do not want to. I promise I wouldn’t lead you astray here!)

5. Create your password and pin which you will use to log in to your account and order your oils.

6. Select your enrollment order. This is where you can specify which starter kit you would like. I recommend the Premium Kit with the Aroma Diffuser.

7. It will ask if you want to sign up for the Essential Rewards program. I recommend saying no to this for now.

8. Agree to Terms & Conditions

9. CONFIRM YOUR ORDER. Some folks miss this step and end up not fully checking out. To confirm, the tool will log you in and it will show you your order again and it will make you enter in your payment information again.

10. Wait for the mailman to arrive! This step is will be agonizing.
