Going Natural

The Doctors is one of my favourite tv shows. I watch it religiously everyday. One of the results of me watching the show is i have become more health conscious (to a point). What i mean by that is i am more aware of the chemicals that are found in commercial product and the harmful effects that long term use of these products can have on the body. This has inspired me to use natural homemade product. I hope to one day replace all the commercial products i use for homemade natural product.

For example, I want to be able to make my own deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo you name it i want to make it myself. Recently i found a recipe for homemade deodorant inspired by Angry Chicken that i am eager to try. (I will post the recipe on the end of this post). I will probably make it in the next two weeks and post it a review of it by the end of the month. What i like about the recipe is that it is easy to make and the ingredients are pretty easy to find if you know where to look. I may eliminate the shea butter or lower the number of tablespoons (increasing the amount of cocoa butter as a substitute) because i am not found of its smell.

Its funny that I am buying into the living greener campaign, but anyone who knows me knows that ads work on me i will buy into anything thats advertised a lot on television. (sad but true...lol)
