It dried out my scalp SO badly. I still use it for deodorant though. You're right, it's way cheaper. They sell 5 lb containers of it at smart & final for like $5. Can't really beat that price, and I only have to buy it once a year for all of my deodorizing and cleaning needs!<br /><br />Your cold cream sounds wonderful! What is the recipe?Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10466929392991541156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070254646201515429.post-52948053894151136012012-04-24T18:04:26.449-07:002012-04-24T18:04:26.449-07:00I'll have to try the coconut oil...it sounds g...I'll have to try the coconut oil...it sounds great. Sometimes I see it on special in the flyers I get in the mail. I tried baking soda for shampoo for several months, but for some reason, it didn't work very well for me. One of my students gave me a $100. gift certificate for GlenIvy Spa, so I splurged and bought a year's supply of their fancy lavender shampoo and conditioner! Now my hair is soft again. I tried using baking soda for deodorant, and it worked well, but I got a rash. Rats. So, now I use Herbal Magic. Baking soda is much more cost effective, though! You are saving a lot of money this way. That stuff is so inexpensive when you buy it in bulk!!! I make my own cold cream with olive oil,vegetable oil, eggs, and lemon juice. I love it! Great blog and wonderful writing Meg!!!<br /><br />awakenedsoulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070254646201515429.post-26785800783440396492011-03-13T16:02:06.317-07:002011-03-13T16:02:06.317-07:00Nice!

Tell me how the deodorant works for you; it won't keep you from sweating but it'll keep you from stinking! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by :)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357868823803790217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5070254646201515429.post-82872623574834867492011-03-11T17:34:14.144-08:002011-03-11T17:34:14.144-08:00I use virgin coconut oil on my children's dry ...I use virgin coconut oil on my children's dry skin. It has anti-fungal properties in it as well (says my physician friend) so I have used it to combat suspect yeast (while breastfeeding). I will certainly try your deoderant trick because those chemicals get into breast milk and you sweat so much more while nursing, so you need deoderant more than ever! Thanks for the tips!
