Not about Knitting at all...

I found this blog while looking for a home made deodorant recipe. It seems really awesome and I thought you (two who read my blog) would find it intriguing as well...

here it is: Passionate Homemaking...you'll like it, I promise.

And if your wondering, I want home made deodorant for a couple of reasons. I've always kind of (fleetingly) wondered about the effects of putting all those chemicals straight into your armpit could do to you body and now it seems that it can do a lot...breast cancer, Alzheimer's etc. Also, Dan has super sensitive skin and has tried many an alternative to the highly chemicalized deodorants with no luck. I bought him a natural deodorant at Whole Earth that works for stink but not for sweat. The recipe in the blog above has really good reviews so I'm excited to start.

Also interested in her simplifying the bathroom section. Think about how expensive bathroom products are...I know I can spend $12 on a bottle of shampoo which is ridiculous...She seems to have a lot of ideas for homemade everything! Shampoo, lotion, toothpaste, aftershave. All of this equals less waste, less money and NO harmful chemicals.

As you can see, I'm excited about this. Anyway, check out her blog...

Hey! I'm proud to be one of the two! :) I haven't checked out the blog, but I will when I'm done commenting...I love homemaking blogs. :) I remember seeing a deodorant recipe somewhere....I'm excited to see how yours works out. I've always been under the impression that you have to have aluminum to prevent the sweating...
Call me soon! Can't wait for you to have a bunch of free time. :)

Let us know- I am curious if it works. Matt is kind of freaked out about deoderant so we are always open to new things.
