I smell better than you.

I've started using homemade versions of almost everything. Dishwasher soap, laundry soap, various household cleaners, shampoo, toothpaste... Today I made my own deodorant. My armpits are just so... clean. And odorless. It's lovely.
I'm trying to wean myself off of shampoo and conditioner entirely. When people go shampoo-free, they have to deal with a few weeks of their hair being gross before their scalp stops over-producing oils. I'm hoping to avoid that by mixing my own shampoo, and slowly lessening the amount of soap in the mixture.
Everything I've tried so far has worked better than the store-bought versions, and it's all much cheaper. And it smells better, because I usually just put a few drops of lavender essential oil in whatever I'm making. It really complements the arrowroot powder in the deodorant.
I'm also slowly starting gardening. I have a basil plant that I'm desperately trying to keep alive, and I'm going to plant my next plant soon. Just haven't decided what.
P.S. All the recipes and stuff are on my Pinterest.
