I just adore these little glass bottles I found at the market today. I was really happy to stumble on a whole pile of them; it's the only reason I was able to walk away with just five. Rather often I find myself in need of a small brown glass container for a potion or tincture or something I either want to split up to carry a small amount of or something I am making from scratch. They are perfect for traveling & I'll find endless uses for them around the house. Best of all, they are only Q1 a piece!! I'm getting bigger ones next time....like tomorrow.

homemade natural deodorant
Living in Guatemala has changed me in many ways. And I wasn't about to let these changes (such as not having access to the lovely Weleda products I've been using for years) make me stink so, I had to find a solution and quick! Just kidding about the quickness part but, I am super stoked to have found a super simple solution. I have used and love Weleda Sage spray deodorant for a while now. It's light and airy and effective. I love that it's a simple refreshing herbal spray and I didn't want to compromise by using something un-natural. I won't even talk about stick deodorants...gross!
Well, after a tiny bit of research and thought, Rosemary is really the only fresh herb I could easily find here that I wanted to use. All I did was stuff in a bunch of fresh clean Rosemary in my empty deodorant bottles& fill with quality Vodka. They have been sitting in the dark for a week; I shake them everyday & they already smell really great!!!!
***UPDATE***
I should have removed the Rosemary at about 10 days in or less. It smelt great and was a very effective deodorant. I left the Rosemary in too long and it turned on me. Maybe it's because I used fresh Rosemary instead of dried. Nothing like learning things the hard way!!!!
