MAKE YOUR OWN DEODORANT

I gave this article some thought.  Should I include this, after writing the recent “Gun Control” articles and adding the videos???  Then I decided that since I’m writing about one “stink”, I may as well write about another “stink”.  Both cause division, but this one can be fixed.  So, here it is!

You might want to hurry and get your deodorant cooking, before the powers that be come out with “Deodorant Control” (it might be covered under NDAA also).  Hey!  The way things are going… it could happen!  Just imagine… the major population (who failed to store up deodorant) starts getting ripe, and then it happens… the sound of Drones buzzing overhead, equipped with Sniffer Sensors.  You won’t stand a chance (providing the others in your party don’t give you the boot long before the Drones show up). 

Deodorant is very easy to make.  Aside from being able to save money, this is a great way to become a little more self-sufficient. Rather than dish out a few dollars for deodorant, now you can spend just a few cents and make your own. 

Deodorant may seem like a minor item, but after a few days, everyone in your party is going to wish that you paid attention to this article and even copied the directions down.  Remember, everyone in your party carries live ammo.  So, get to work now, making your very own deodorant.

Tips for Homemade Deodorant Use

Give it a few days. You’ve probably been using chemically-packed deodorants for years. Give it a few days for your body to adjust to the less-harsh homemade deodorant.

If it’s too itchy? If you have very sensitive skin, you may notice that the homemade deodorant is itchy at times. If that’s the case, ease up on the baking soda in your recipes. Instead, add a little more cornstarch to the equation. By adding less baking soda, the deodorant will become less ”cakey” and won’t itch as much.

Most important Tip:  Make an extra stick and give it to your friend.
