January 17 • Deodorant

I spent the morning shoveling. Like, the entire morning. Which would make a great zero waste post in and of itself, but I'm kind of enjoying reviewing one room at a time. I wasn't sure what I was going to share about the bathroom next, but as I was eating dinner I was checking Instagram and noticed a post by @zero.waste.collective asking what fellow zero wasters do regarding deodorant. And I thought, aaaaaah, that's what I'll talk about tonight, because, I'm exhausted and still have work I want to get done for one of my paid gigs. Talking about my zero waste solution for deodorant will be quick and easy. Are you ready?

I just don't. And haven't for a really long time...10 years? Maybe longer? I honestly can not remember...that's how long it's been. I have never made or wanted to make a homemade version. If you'd like to try, there are tons of recipes you can find on-line. Many of which contain some variation of baking soda, coconut oil, and essential oils. If you haven't picked up on it yet, baking soda is a vital ingredient in the zero waste lifestyle. So is coconut oil. Oh, and vinegar. We haven't gotten there yet, but we will very soon. Haha.
