How to make solid perfume deodorant:

Methods:
• Gather the ingredients. This method calls for just a few easy ingredients, and it makes a semi-solid stick of deodorant similar to stick deodorants you find in stores—minus all the chemicals. This recipe requires:[1]
3 tablespoons wet-milled, virgin coconut oil
2 tablespoons Shea butter
2 tablespoons arrowroot (or cornstarch)
3 tablespoons baking soda
1-2 drops of your favorite essential oil (optional)

• Melt the Shea butter and coconut oil together. If you have a double boiler, you can use this to melt the Shea butter and coconut oil together. If you don’t have one, you can simply place both ingredients in a heavy mason jar and place the jar in a pan of hot water.Use low heat and stir often to ensure an even distribution as the two ingredients melt together.Remove the mixture from the heat as soon as it’s melted together.

• Stir in the arrowroot and baking soda. After you turn off the heat, slowly stir in the arrowroot and baking soda.[3] Mix the ingredients in well but quickly before the mixture begins to harden.

• Add the essential oil. If you’re choosing to add an essential oil to provide a pleasant scent, then stir in one or two drops (more will be overpowering) of the oil now as well.[4] Certain essential oils may irritate those with sensitive skin. Try rubbing a drop of the oil on your underarms to test for any skin irritation before adding it to your deodorant recipe. Some common options include:
Lavender
Patchouli
Eucalyptus
Lemon
Orange
Bergamot
Tea tree
Cedarwood
Lemon balm
Cinnamon
Sage
Frankincense

• Store in your chosen container. You don’t have to store this deodorant any special way. If you want, you can simply pour the mix into a jar and allow it to cool and solidify. You can then use your fingers to apply it your underarms as needed.As an alternative, you can pour the mixture into popsicle molds and place the molds in your freezer for an hour to shape the deodorant into a familiar stick shape. Wrap each stick in wax paper or parchment paper before storing to stop them from melting together.

• Keep in a cool place. You do not need to store the deodorant in the fridge, but it can melt in warm weather. Store the container out of direct sunlight in a cool spot in your home.

How to try a perfume

How to try a perfume: • Try a fragrance quiz. Sometimes, visiting the perfume counter can be overwhelming. To help you narrow down what you might like, try taking an online fragrance-finder quiz. That way, you'll have a place to start when you get to the store. You can find a fragrance quiz by doing a simple search, but many major perfume websites also have them. You can also test out samples that come in magazines or ask people you know what their scent is if you like it. • Skip applying fragrances before you go shopping. When you go to the store, you want a blank canvas, so to speak. Skip putting on any perfume that morning so it won't compete. Also, skip other items you use with strong scents, such as lotions and body washes. • Spray it on a card. The first step to testing a perfume is spraying it on a card. Smell it when you first spray it, but also try smelling it again in about 5 minutes, once it's had time to dry and settle. If you like it both times, you...

How to make your own fruit lip balm using essential oils:

How to make your own fruit lip balm using essential oils: • Put together a double boiler. Fill a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 centimeters) of water, then put a heat-safe bowl on top. Make sure that the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. • Add the coconut oil and beeswax (if desired) into the bowl. The beeswax will help give the lip balm a firmer texture and make it less gooey. If you end up using the beeswax, try to get it in flake or pellet form. This will help it melt quicker and easier. If you can't get beeswax in either form, shave it using a cheese grater. • Heat the coconut oil and beeswax over medium-high heat until they melt. Stir them from time to time. This will ensure that they melt evenly. Both ingredients will turn clear once they melt. • Remove the bowl from the saucepan, and stir in the vitamin E oil. The vitamin E oil will help make your lips nice and soft. • Stir in your flavor oil until the texture is smooth and the color is eve...
