shoe deodorizers

P-U!!!!……As many of you know, my husband Mike is a trail ultramarathoner.  After a hike or a run of his, Mike’s car can smell pretty darn rank- not to mention my house too when his shoes come inside.  He is ALWAYS running or hiking some mountain.   That means A LOT of miles run through mud, water, brush, and dirt. To combat this rather pungent problem, I made these simple DIY Shoe Deodorizers.  It took about 10 minutes to make 4 of these babies, and I am glad I did!  I used Blue Spruce and Purification Young Living Essential Oils for a scent to make the stink go away!  Thanks to these deodorizers, I can breathe in clean air in my home! Ahhhhhh….. (more…)

Do you use lip balm like it's your job? This silky, smooth DIY Natural Lip Balm is moisturizing and soothing. Change that chapped pout right into a smile!
