It works really well, but I stopped using it. It's made with lots of cocoa butter (which, duh, smells like chocolate). Combine that with the essential oil we picked (lime, because it smells fresh and clean), and we had chocolate lime arm pits.
A little weird.I would like to find a different recipe. One without cocoa butter.

They call me ... Sarcasmo
This morning I bought (at vitaminshoppe.com):
Avocado Oil
Sweet Almond Oil
Raw Shea Butter
Feverfew (liquid)
Grapeseed Oil
Pure Vitamin C Powder
Sunflower Oil
Organic Castile Soap
Pure Vegetable Glycerin
The idea is to make my own organic face cream, body lotion, shampoo and conditioner. I've been using olive oil with tea tree oil as a moisturizer for awhile. Switched back recently to a face cream I got from Sephora and promptly broke out all across my forehead.
Once I receive my ingredients, it will be time to start mixing potions until I come up with the perfect blend.

I have one that uses coconut oil...and coconut/lime sounds tastier than chocolate/lime

And if I don't like them for my face, I can cook with them.
Or maintain the car.

Because have you read the ingredients of your deodorant? Nasty chemicals.
No. All I know is my underarms don't stink when I put it on. It gives me no problems. :shrug:

Do you guys have a recipe for linen spray? I thought today that it'd be nice to have sheets that smell good, but I don't want to sleep in chemicals.

Speaking of natural products and practices, have any of you tried ear candeling / ear coning? I'd like to give it a try, but I have no idea on how effective it would be, or where I could get the products locally. I'm sure I could do some internet research and buy the tools on-line.
Anybody?
Anybody?

I heard that term today for the first time. What is that?

Basically, you take a long hollow cone - maybe 14 inches long, and made of a sturdy piece of linen - and place the pointy end at the entrance to your ear. Light the other/wide/open end of the cone with a match. The heat is supposed to draw up impurities and ear wax into the linen cone, and out of your ear canal. You don't let the cone burn all the way down....seems you burn it to within 4 or 5 inches of your ear.
I've never tried it. But I'm intrigued.
Bubba has the dirtiest ears of anybody I've ever met. I was thinking of trying it out on him to see if it would clear out his ears better than a Q-tip, but I'm unsure if he'll even sit still long enough to try it out on him. I might need to try it when he's napping.
You can see demo's of car waxing on YouTube.

Nah, I seriously doubt that anyone would be the slightest interested in watching me do that. If they are somehow interested, that just makes them damn weird.Are you selling tickets?
I'm still curious to know if it works well. Some people proclaim that their hearing is much improved by using this process of ear cleaning. Maybe it's true....maybe it's their imagination.

I shall now tease you!
Who is weird, the person wanting to see someone with a burning snow cone in their ear or the person with the burning snow cone in their ear?

I've heard of the ear coning stuff, but yet to have tried it. You should have seen pix the first time that I mentioned the neti pot. It became a regular showering process.

You could probably use the same recipe that we used for perfume. I'll look it up again but it was super simple, vodka, spring water and essential oil.
That sounds like it would be fun.I'm curious, where do you get the formulas for making/mixing these kinds of cosmetics, is there some kind of reference someplace?
"Feverfew" Do you even know what that is? It was invented by NASA and was used by the Greeks to burn holes in the walls of Troy and give themselves erections lasting longer than four hours.
I swear, you are setting up the female version of "Hold m'ah beer and watch this!"
POOF!!!!!!!!!!! Your face is stuck to the ceiling.
