I was planning on zooming in on my eyes anyway, so it wasn’t really a big deal, but the idea hit me… So, the other day, I was working on formulating some homemade eye pencils (and, yes, I will share those recipes with you soon), and when I went to take pictures of how they looked when used, I noticed that my roots were showing and I didn’t look very presentable. Unfortunately, it had a bunch of crazy ingredients in it, and I haven’t been able to find anything like that around here anyway. …Until my roots start showing, of course!Ī few years back I had found a root concealer stick at a store in the US, and it worked pretty well to camouflage the slight difference in color between my natural color and my dyed hair. Not only am I starting to get some gray hairs, but they like to punish me by all showing up exactly where I part my hair! Yes, I could change my part, but I’m sort of set in my ways by now, and since I’ve started dying my hair anyway, it doesn’t really matter… Let’s face it, I’m not in my 20’s anymore (nor am I in my 30’s), and while I don’t feel much different than I did back then, my hair is slowly starting to try to let me know that I am getting a bit older. The left side has already been covered with the stick, and I’m just starting to cover the roots on the right side. While this homemade natural root concealer stick isn’t something that I need to use every day, I’m pretty much as excited about it as I was when I came up with my favorite deodorant recipe.īecause it’s super simple and inexpensive to make, it solves a problem I couldn’t solve with anything I could find around here (toxic or not), and it actually works! But… Making a Homemade Natural Root Concealer Stick I can’t imagine going back to using anything else. That deodorant has definitely been my favorite natural DIY product that I came up with on my own. I tried at least 10 different deodorant combinations before I was super excited to find a soothing DIY deodorant formula that 100% works for me! That may have been the turning point for me that gave me enough confidence to start making more and more of my own more complex products. I mean there wasn’t a lot to tell, until my formulas got a bit more sophisticated. My son, for now, likes to help me cook, but doesn’t show my interest in making things, which is part of the reason that my DIY has gotten a lot more adult and focused on simple, green DIY that you can make for your home & body.īack when I started my blog, I had already thrown out a lot of cosmetics with toxic or questionable ingredients, but I didn’t share much of what I was using because most of the time it was as simple as sleeping with coconut oil on my hair, or rubbing in some jojoba oil on my face. As I started trying to get healthier and more in shape, my posts got more focused on healthy alternatives to fun foods with some DIY sprinkled in. When I started this blog, it was a lot more about fun DIY projects for kids with a few healthy (and other) recipes sprinkled in. Lately I’ve been dabbling a lot more in the world of natural DIY products.
