This recipe is free from the toxic ingredients found in many conventional deodorants, such as aluminium and synthetic fragrances, but still offers effective odour protection. I kept the dilution of essential oils to 2% to avoid skin irritation. RECIPE: 🌿 8 teaspoons distilled water 🌿 3/4 teaspoon magnesium hydroxide powder 🌿 1 tablespoon baking soda (omit if you have sensitive skin) 🌿 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder 🌿 2 tablespoons witch hazel (alcohol free) 🌿 10 drops lavender essential oil 🌿 8 drops jasmine essential oil 🌿 4 drops patchouli essential oil 🌿 3 drops myrrh essential oil 🌿 30 mL roll on deodorant containers To Make: 1. To make this natural roll on deodorant recipe, start by heating the distilled water in a small saucepan until it’s very hot. 2. Add the hot distilled water and magnesium hydroxide powder to a large bowl and whisk together well to combine. 3. Next, add in the baking soda, arrowroot powder, and witch hazel to the bowl and continue whisking until well incorporated. The mixture should look smooth. 4. Add in the essential oils and whisk again to combine the ingredients. 5. Pour the mixture into the roll on deodorant bottles, and cap the lid on tightly. 6. Shake the deodorant mixture well before each use. 7. To use this natural roll on deodorant, apply this solution to clean, dry armpits. 8. Please note that less is more with this deodorant. Apply a thin layer of the solution onto the skin and rub it in if necessary. 9. Wait a few minutes before putting a shirt on, as the deodorant may leave stains. #naturaldeodorant #bodyodour #naturalskincare #deodorant

To enjoy your homemade potpourri in other various ways, add it to sachet bags and tuck it into drawers, bags, closets, storage cabinets, pillowcases, or anywhere else you want to enjoy the beautiful scent of these flowers and herbs. RECIPE: 🌿 Baskets, jars, or bowls for display 🌿 Sachets or handkerchiefs 🌿 Dried flowers and gathered plant material 🌿 Essential oils of choice (optional) 🌿 Orris root powder To Make: 1. Start by choosing the flowers, herbs, spices, and any other plant material you want to include in your potpourri mixture. 2. Next, dry the flowers and herbs using the air drying method. Once they’re dried, the flowers and herbs will be dry and crumbly to the touch, so be gentle when handling them. 3. Place the dried plant material into a container that you can seal. The fragile petals may crumble a little, but that’s okay. Don’t worry too much about how this container looks because it won’t be what you’ll be using to display the finished product. 4. Add any essential oils of choice you’ll be using to your dried items. This step is optional, so feel free to skip it if you want purely the natural fragrance of the flowers and herbs you’ll be using. 5. Seal the container and let it sit for two to four weeks in a cool, dark, dry place. The essential oils will infuse with the dried flowers and make them smell more fragrant. Do not open the container until you’re ready to use the homemade potpourri. 6. Add about 1 to 2 tablespoons of orris root powder to your potpourri mix and gently toss to combine. This powder will act as a fixative to prevent the essential oil from evaporating too quickly so that the scent of your mixture smells fragrant for longer. 7. Let the mixture sit overnight, then arrange your homemade potpourri in a decorative shallow bowl or jar to display or add it to sachet bags to put into drawers, closets, or to give as gifts. 8. For the best results, keep the potpourri out of direct sunlight as this will prevent the colours from fading and preserve the scent of the plant material for longer. #potpourri #naturalfragrance #essentialoils #driedflowers #naturalscents

I've been slowing changing my wardrobe from synthetic, chemically dyed fabrics to clothing made from more natural fibres. From the bedding I sleep in, to the clothing I wear, switching to organic cotton and linen has been such a powerful change. Simple, breathable materials that feel incredibly soft against my skin. What many people don't realise is that conventional cotton is one of the most chemically treated crops in the world, which is why organic cotton can make a huge difference for our health and the planet. As the skin is the largest organ in the body, it can absorb whatever is placed on it, that includes the toxic dyes and chemicals treated on synthetic fabrics. I love that Bhumi is helping to make toxin-free clothing more accessible, while supporting fair trade farming and organic practices. Whatever you choose to wear and sleep in matters more than you think 🤍 @bhumiorganiccotton #bhumiorganiccotton #bhumiliving
