Au Naturale

Here are some fun natural recipes I have been playing with. Try them out and tell me what you think.
 
Air Freshner Recipe:
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vinegar (or lemon juice)
2 cups hot water

mix in a spray bottle and spray in air to remove odors.

Bug Repellant: 

32 oz. sprayer bottle
5 drops eucalyptus essential oil
10 drops lavender essential oil
30 drops orange essential oil
20 drops lemon essential oil
1/2 cup Dr. Bronner’s Liquid Citrus Castille Soap
Pure water

Just spray the perimeter of your home, inside and out, 1-2 times a week and the creatures will stay away.
Store in a cool, dark place. Essential oils are delicate and sensitive to light so make sure they are stored in a closet, under the sink or in a pantry.

Deodorant:

6 tablespoons of coconut oil
1/4 cup of baking soda
1/4 cup of arrowroot or cornstarch (depending on your preferences)
your favorite essential oil

 mix together your baking soda and your arrowroot (or cornstarch) in a medium sized bowl.

Then stir in your coconut oil with a fork and mash it all together until it is very well combined. Top it all off by adding a few drops of your favorite essential oil such as vanilla, lavender, or rose.
