I haven’t been overly concerned about the safety of store bought deodorant, but knowing that skin is highly porous and what goes on it, goes through it, I’d rather not add more chemicals to my system.
Add to that the number of plastic casings consigned to the recycle bin I have wondered about an alternative but never put a whole lot of research into it.
Yesterday, I was stopped in my tracks by the dreaded “End of the deodorant” panic.
Not usually a big deal but I was running late for a meeting, no time to drive to Trader Joes for the one brand of deodorant that both works and doesn’t irritate my skin, and I really didn’t want to risk spending the next 2 hours in a stuffy office smelling like a dead ferret!
A quick search turned up lots of recipes here is the recipe that I used…
Kalina Naturals brings you natural soap and body care products… Now you can learn more about Marta the founder of Kalina Naturals; by visiting & interacting via comments with the brand new blog section on the Kalina Naturals Website…
Marta is really excited about this new venture and is eager to share her experiences with us, in the hopes she can pass on some inspiration and encouragement for us all to enjoy life to the fullest… :)
In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :)
The Moon Void-off-Course:
There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon…
Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:
These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.
Cancer
Taurus
Sagittarius
Pisces…
Opportunity Periods (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):
There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods.
Thanks to Jim Shawvan present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.
Void-off-Course: 4:24 am (ET) 1:24 am (PT) January 30 to 11:09 pm (PT) January 30: 2:09 am (ET) January 31 2015
House: 8th: House of secrets, research, death, regeneration, shared money matters and mergers:
Opportunity Period: Yes: 7:13 pm (ET) 4:13 pm (PT) January 29 to 3:23 am (ET) 12:23 am (PT) January 30. This is a good time for mental work, as we should be able to think a little bit more clearly during this OP.
What does it all mean?
Gemini is an air sign and needs lots of stimuli. She is ruled by Mercury. Mercury’s storm and retrograde periods are from January 17 until February 19 2015. Try not to start any new projects now, instead write down any new ideas, include the date and time too.
We may find we are trying to do multiple things at once, which may not go exactly as we may have planned.
Could be lots of chit chatting going on, and some of us may have to make a concerted effort to listen instead of chat.
Caution is advised when doing up letters, emails and relaying messages, as much as we may think we have it right, it’s better to check one more time
In the 8th house: Watch out for being possessive or jealous when dealing with personal relationships. Our emotions can be more intense now indicating we may feel more than is really going on. Use any excess energy for sorting through items you no longer need, set up your donation pile and your garbage pile and set to it… :)
It’s a good time to get those lists and notes made up… we can feel good about putting pen to paper now.
Boredom may be at our door step and we may feel more restless than usual.
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts.
Venus is the planet of money and beauty, she is the most feminine of the planets and is sometimes referred to as the “Goddess of Love” She rules Libra and Taurus.
Pisces is compassionate and caring, they can be naive, while at other times they are right on the ball. :) Pisces is ruled by Neptune, the planet of dreams.
We may find ourselves visiting friends and loved ones in the hospital or nursing home.
Institutions, such as hospitals, service barracks, prisons, universities, court etc, may be in focus now.
Spending some alone time with a good book or movie can do us a world of good now.
We can feel more “in tune”, appreciative and attracted to our partners.
If you have the time see who needs an extra hand and volunteer your time or skills, it’s bound to be rewarding.
Find a way to relax, if you are into sports going to a fun event is one great way to do so.
Pets may be especially sensitive now, so take some time to spend with them if they are being “sucky”.
We can be more “psychic” now, so take care to listen to your intuition.
Gambling may seem like a fun way to chill out, just be sure you check the budget and don’t go crazy.
Secrets may be shared, be sure to keep those given to you… and be careful who you share yours with.
