Hi! Thank you for mentioning! That should have been included in the video. In regards to shelf life: If all ingredients are fresh and the deodorant is stored in a clean, airtight container away from heat and moisture, it should last for about 6 months to 1 year. The primary concern is usually the potential for the oils and butters to go rancid over time, so it's best to use it within a reasonable timeframe and observe for any changes in scent or texture that might indicate spoilage. Coconut oil and shea butter can melt at temperatures above 76°F (24°C). Storing your deodorant in the fridge can help maintain its solid consistency, especially during warmer months (and can potentially extend its shelf life because cooler temperatures slow down the degradation of oils and butters). If it becomes too hard in the fridge, you can let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before use to soften slightly. Alternatively, you can scoop out a small amount with clean fingers and warm it between your fingers before applying. If you prefer the convenience of having your deodorant readily available at room temperature, you can keep it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Just monitor its consistency and scent periodically to ensure it hasn't gone rancid or developed an off odor, which would indicate spoilage.
Hi! Thank you for mentioning. My apologies for not mentioning this in the video! Yes, you should strain the cloves after they have infused in the olive oil for the specified period of 2 weeks (or longer if you prefer a stronger flavor). By straining the clove-infused oil, you'll remove the solid cloves and any particles, leaving you with a clear and flavorful clove oil ready for use. Remember to use it within a month if stored outside the refrigerator To strain: 1. Place a sieve over a bowl or directly over the bottle or jar you plan to store the clove oil in. Line the sieve with a layer of cheesecloth. Cheesecloth helps to catch any solid particles, ensuring your clove oil is smooth and free of debris. 2. Carefully pour the infused olive oil through the cheesecloth-lined sieve. The sieve will catch the cloves and any sediment, allowing the clear infused oil to pass through. If you want to extract every bit of infused oil, you can gently press the cloves against the cheesecloth with a spoon or spatula to release any remaining oil. 3. Once strained, transfer the strained clove oil into a sterilized bottle or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Make sure the container is also sterilized to ensure the oil stays fresh longer. 4. Store the clove oil in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you want to prolong its shelf life, you can store it in the refrigerator, which can help maintain its freshness.
Yes, you can substitute cooking oil for the olive oil. Cooking oils such as vegetable oil or sunflower oil can be used as alternatives to olive oil. The purpose of the oil is to extract the aromatic and beneficial compounds from the cloves, so using a different type of cooking oil should still achieve a similar result.
Yes! Homemade white butter should work just fine, as long as it has a similar fat content to regular butter. The key is to mix it well with milk until you achieve the desired texture and richness.
Yes, you can buy clove oil for making your own perfume. Clove oil is available from various suppliers, including online retailers (like Amazon), health food stores, and some pharmacies. Just make sure it is pure essential clove oil.

I heard that damp hair can take up the peroxide well, but I feel this might damage the hair. I tried it with coconut underneath, and it didn't really make it noticeably lighter. It did add nice blonde highlights, very subtle, but it was drier.
Hi! I sympathize with you as I have to manage eczema. We did do a video a while back on psoriasis here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CwShTEGAQtM.html My advice in regards to using baking soda for psoriasis, is just test with a small amount on a small part of the psoriasis-affected skin, everyday for a few days, to see if you get any negative reaction. Some find relief with it and some do not so just do a small test first. Many also use it in a bath, perhaps in combination with epsom salt, so you could test that as well. The best things to manage complicated skin issues like psoriasis and eczema are proper nutrition, sleep, and movement. Those 3 need to be done right. I don't use any chemical creams etc, I just try to do those 3 the best I can to keep it managed the best I can. I wish you all the best!
It's $10:00 for 10 ml. at the Chemist.I use mineral oil(parrafin) from Bunnings, (about $15 per litre) and an electric coffee grinder (about $20 at K Mart), to treat mould but I'm not sure about amounts... I'm trying 6 1/2 teaspoons of ground cloves to 1 litre of parrafin...leave for a week to prove...wish me luck. Chemist told me the mould won't come back.

A recent study found that the ratio of two types of bacteria in your intestines may determine how much weight you lose when given a particular diet. These two bacteria are Prevotella, which digests fiber and carbohydrates, (and Bacteroidetes, which people who eat more animal protein and fat have more of ) A diet rich in fiber (psyllium husks), may increase the ratio of Prevotella For example, humans can’t digest fiber but certain gut bacteria can. By digesting fiber, these gut bacteria produce a number of chemicals that benefit gut health and possibly PROMOTE weight loss. <End of article. I started consuming psyllium husk capsules recently and by mirror inspection it appears some stubborn fat is already beginning to decrease /. break down....maybe just a coincidence, will try to report back in a couple weeks for update.

What if you added a little sugar or honey water to the bleach and, of course, slather coconut oil (which also helps activate as well as moisturize) on BEFORE applying the developer, sugar/honey, and bit of baking soda. Would that be good? In fact, i might try chamomile oil, calendula oil, lavender oil (moisture balancer, color activator), and coconut oil (protector, moisturizer, activator) with honey and sugar water! (Honey also contains natural bleach and moisturiser, but one must have apple cidar vinegar on hand for a Ph balancing rinse and then use a deep mask afterward). My hair likes lemon juice as a rinse, but im afraid that might dry it too much after this. (Sugars added to advanced bleach products help moisturize and protect the strands during the bleaching process, supposedly). Just a strand test first oc. Whatever you do, don't use anything with charcoal in it! If you're a witch (im not) you might know why.
