Dappled Air News - My Interests & Ideas


After switching from shampoo to no-shampoo, ie. I use 1 heaping teaspoon backing soda in a glass of warm water and 1 teaspoon cider vinegar in half a cup of water. I was ready to tackle the deodorant.

I have been using deodorants, not anti-perspirants, all my life, but this year I noticed that they did not seem to work as well any longer. That sent me on an Internet search for recipes to make my own. After reading tons of info and searching for what they had in common, I found my recipe and I must say for the past 2 months that I have been using it, I am very happy.

Homemade Deodorant Recipe:
  • 2 tablespoon baking soda
  • 6 tablespoons cornstarch
Combine and mix well. Works best by shaking in a closed container. Now put in a smaller container.

Apply with powder puff. That's where I ran into a snag, where do you get a powder puff? You make one! I crochet one that's washable and will post the instructions shortly.

Note:
Some recipes call for half baking soda and half cornstarch. I found that the baking soda portion was too strong and left red marks. So try it out and then adjust the blend.




I don't watch movies when they first come out, I watch them when they make it to the TV screen and this is one such movie that I found absolutely delightful. It is called "the Invention of Lying". I like they way they portray a world where everybody says the truth and how one guy discovers that he can stretch the truth and everybody believes him.

The movie made me think of how much what we believe to be the truth is based on what we have been told and have blindly accepted. How often do we really try to understand if it is really true or if we just simple accepted someone else's belief. Doing that will change our world view and our life.



CraftMeister News - A Sammelsurium of Craft Ideas & Instructions


After creating my big mask 1 and mask 2 I felt drawn to creating more masks. This time my attention was drawn to the small round boxes from the cheese triangles. I had saved them with the idea that someday they would be useful. Well, that day has arrived. I only used the bottom of [...]

Late in 2003 I decided to create another garbage can lid mask. This time I used pale blue Rubbermaid garbage can lid. I had no design in mind and just went with the flow. This time I have now a digital camera so I could show the progression of my work. First I primed the [...]

I find it hard at time remembering all those Firefox keyboard shortcuts. Then I came across these links with all the shortcuts for Windows/Mac/Linux all in one place.

I like to use the quick launch bar in Windows and at one point I just had too many items, so I went looking for a way to sort them into folders. I found it and did it and then promptly forgot how I did it. Then when I wanted to make changes I had [...]

Grafika News - Graphic Design & Typography Inspirations


The crop circle year started early this year in England in mid April and it started with very intricate designs. I love those type of circles as it is much more fun to color the diagrams. I get my diagrams from the Crop Circle Connector website. This is the first circle of the year from April 14/2009, [...]

I have no idea when and where I came across this. (Author Unknown) Just realized that while children are dogs … loyal and affectionate … teenagers are CATS. You feed it, train it, boss it around. It puts its head on your knee and gazes at you as if you were a Rembrandt painting. It [...]

Tapping News - Meridian Tapping = Emotional Acupuncture


Yesterday I read Carol Tuttle’s post about money on Facebook and how we often say “I can’t afford it”. Well, by saying that we are focusing on our lack, so Carol’s remedy is to replace that phrase with “It’s a good thing I’m rich”. I really liked this and created this reminder postcard. Then I [...]

What is LED tapping you might ask? Well, my friend Al Rodee from EFT Atlantic gave me the idea yesterday at the weekly EFT group. Instead of tapping the points physically, imagine the points lighting up with LED lights. This morning on my walk I wanted to work through a few ideas that had sprung [...]
