Deodor:can't2: Solution

My cousin Lauren read Deodor:can't part 1
and kindly offered a small tub of homemade deodorant,
complete with a recipe so I can make future batches on my own.

(Lauren attributes the recipe to the website CrunchyBetty.com)

I have been using the stuff for over a month,
and I love it.
A little dab will do ya,
and in terms of full disclosure,
it is yet to be determined,
how it stacks up against the summer heat.

Betty & Lauren's Homemade Deodorant*
*to be replaced with catchy name later


5 tbsp coconut oil
3 tbsp almond oil (can infuse with chamomile or calendula if you want I don't because I'm lazy)
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp baking soda
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp arrowroot powder (baking aisle -bob's red mill. Or health food store)
Essential oil- 20 or so drops (lavender, rosemary, tea tree oil all have antibacterial properties. I use what I have on hand and like.)  

More disclosure,
I'm assuming we just mix those things up.
Our little container has lasted us Months,
but I will keep you posted,
when I try to make the stuff.
