The Pits!!!!

So, I've made homemade detergent, fabric softener, bug spray, hey why not deodorant.  My memory is so bad, I've cut out all sweeteners and so next step was antiperspirant.

There are many recipe's on the internet, but I live in a 1 horse town so, getting them is not in the equation.  But, I did find some one the internet with one ingredient.....Milk of Magnesia, simple enough.

I had M.O.M. on hand so no problem there, I had used it before underneath make up in hot weather to prevent oiliness and it had worked very well, so it seem logical that it would help with sweat too.

Day 1:  No stinkyness, although I didn't do anything strenuous.  And I'm sure that there will be a adjustment time, I'm sure I have residual antiperspirant in my pores.

I'm also thinking of adding some tea tree oil, and lavender into the mix for added protection, we'll see.

Right now I just apply it with my fingers, once I use up my current roll on I will see if I can't re-use the bottle.

The weather here has been crazy

10 degrees and foggy.  Frost the other morning and Alaska has warmer weather than us. Found this article on it
Makes sense but what happens when the jet stream slows to a stop???
