Ways to become frugal and green……

I ran out of deoderant today. Instead of putting it on my Wal-Mart list, I opted to be creative and find a way to make it myself. I found a sour cream container and mixed 1/2 cup of cornstarch and 1/2 cup of baking soda together. I had some dried lavender buds on hand as well as some lavender essential oil, so I added both and mixed it all together. I scoured my daughter’s room for a used “puff” and put it into the container. I’m going to try it and see how I like it. Cornstarch keeps you dry and baking soda neutralizes odors……………….thus making a perfect under arm deoderant!!
Keep me posted on ways that you’ve saved money, or how you are preventing our landfills from filling up with “junk.”
It worked good. I just ran out. I was wishing that I would of written the date that I made it on the container. I had to look back and saw that it was May, so I probably spent 10 cents and it lasted 5 months! Try it!
