 oh get old my muscles oh I did a gym session this week since then I've just been so sore like getting upstairs it's been like oh hashtag think she's fit but really isn't anyway hi guys welcome back to my channel I'm so excited to share today's recipe with you I don't know why keep cupping so loudly sorry about that I'm going to be sharing a natural deodorant now some of you have been following me for quite a while at least two or more years we'll know that I did do a video back in the day back way back when of a natural deodorant that I made a while back pretty much yeah it was a recipe that I got from wellness mama get all my recipes from her really she's just so good but I thought I'd do a more updated version of natural deodorant something that I'm going to do for a while because I actually watched my video that I did a couple years ago on that natural deodorant and oh my gosh awkward I look so awkward in that video you guys leave such nice comments though so it makes you feel a little bit better anyway I thought I'd do a more updated version because I have changed deodorants since then so I actually use a deodorant called porta healing which I know you guys will have heard me talk about so often like it's just my favorite deodorant and just shout it to the sky like it's just the best thing ever anyway this is the deodorant that I use it's the citrus blend oh my arms are so tight to in this shirt it's really like a one size too small it was given to me so I really love it but whenever I lift my arms up I'm like oh it's like a straight jacket I can't move my arms above here anyway so this is the deodorant that I use it's the citrus blend with bicarb soda in it they do do one that doesn't have bicarb in it because some of you guys might react to it I know some people react to bicarb so yeah they do have a version that's non-bicarb I just like this one because I find it works really well because I'm a huge sweater I'm a sweater I sweat a lot so especially doing gym like I come out and it looks like I've had a shower I know like gross hey but it's true I'm just so super sweaty I'm sure all the people out there are super sweaty too and this is just the perfect deodorant for all you sweaty gals out there and guys too anyway so I thought I'd do a deodorant recipe based off this one because it's such a favorite of mine so it is a citrus blend the natural deodorant that I'll be making today I changed a few of the ingredients just because some of them I didn't actually have with me so these are the ingredients it's all natural that's why I really love this deodorant and it's just a time saver to have rather than constantly making my own I have one ready to go anyway I want to base a natural deodorant recipe off that so I actually don't know what the quantities of the ingredients are probably a good thing so people don't copy it I just wanted to get the ingredients and sort of just guesstimate basing off my previous deodorant recipe going off that one and sort of just using the ingredients recommended on this so for the essential oils rather than using juniper I think that's how you say juniper sweet orange and lemon I just used normal just orange essential oil lemon and grapefruit best combo I swear those three combined is like the ultimate sense it's the best thing ever I love citrus and that smell of the three combined is like oh I melt it's so nice anyway so I'm gonna be using them as the essential oil kind of fragrance today and I will be putting bicarb in the recipe so if you guys don't want to use that that's totally fine just admit that ingredient if you have a sensitivity to bicarb feel free to leave that one out I just use it because it's like a great way to eliminate odor really well so I keep it in there but yeah and also I'll be using tapioca flour which I think tapioca and arrowroot are the same thing maybe not maybe you guys are like no they're not but I'm pretty sure I heard that though so I use tapioca flour but I'm pretty sure they're the same but if not just use arrowroot powder I use tapioca today anyway without further ado let's get straight into the making today's recipe I'll stop rambling and we'll get straight to it to make the natural deodorant you want to create a broiler so you heat a saucepan with some water and put a bowl on top and this will help to heat the bowl up then add in your coconut butter or cacao butter which is what I used coconut oil and sheer butter and you want to stir that consistently until it melts once it's finished melting then you can take it off heat and you want to add in the bicarb soda if you're using arrowroot powder and mix that together until it's no longer clumpy and there's no bits of powder left in it and becomes a smooth consistency then once it's cooled a little you want to add in the essential oils if you're using and stir them through and once that's done you can pour your liquid into your containers I'm just reusing old containers that I have from previous products that I've bought they're really great to use products that I make they're the perfect size once you finish pouring the liquid into the containers you may notice at the bottom that some of it's starting to set so just scrape the rest of the mixture in with a spoon and you're going to let it either sit at room temperature until the mixture completely sets or you can put it in the fridge for a few hours I've put mine in the fridge overnight to let it set and it was ready by the morning once it's finished you're ready to use and it can sit out at room temperature and you can use it like that or you can keep it in the fridge if your kind of climate is warmer as you may notice the coconut oil may separate a little bit so if you want you can just keep it in the fridge and use otherwise if you didn't use as much coconut oil you may notice that the mixture holds together well so it's just up to you First time I feel like I sing in all my videos and I don't sing well either so I'm sorry everyone and that is today's natural deodorant recipe I hope you guys enjoyed it fingers crossed you did I hope you guys like it if you do try it please let me know what
