I've found the photos great. I just wanted to let you know that my family has been using for deodorant. It is the absolute most effective thing I've ever tried. <br /><br />1/4 c coconut oil (to make it spreadable)<br />2 Tbsp Cornstarch or Arrowroot (for moisture)<br />2 Tbsp Baking Soda (for the stink)<br />A few drops of essential oil, if you want. I like pine, or tea tree, or rose, or lavender. <br /><br /><br />Make into a paste. Store in a jar. If you have sensitive skin, this could give you a rash. Try it with less baking soda and using every 2-3 days until your skin acclimates. I had a rash and did this and I can use it just fine now. <br /><br />My Hubs uses this, and swears by it. Our stinky teen uses it too (no issues). Since I had my twins my hormones haven't been right and I was so stinky. This is literally the only thing that's worked. It works better than Secret Clinical.<br /><br />Good luck!Celestenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974615361729110924.post-52518751362864182902013-04-03T02:56:22.298+01:002013-04-03T02:56:22.298+01:00I like the idea of that hair treatment.

She's fairly "crunchy" and I may be a little jealous. :-)Jennifer Lindsay Hesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00024276979331429030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974615361729110924.post-27345838917434351362013-04-02T12:56:20.324+01:002013-04-02T12:56:20.324+01:00I've never done anything like this either.

I think it's probably best to use a really good brand.

I finally found a great company out of Washington that sells everything I need. I would love to save done money if there are better alternatives though!
