I like that this stuff is solid and fits in a deodorant container. Tea Tree deodorant with Cocoa and Shea. It stays solid at room temperature. It goes on light and creamy. The recipe is made with butters and waxes, no oils, so it keeps pit stains at bay. It's naturally antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, cicatrisant {so if you ever knick your delicate under arm area, you'll heal quicker and won't have marks}, a natural bug repellent, keeps odor in check.

If this does what it promises, super cool! A website that plans your garden FOR YOU! You tell it where you live, it tells you what to plant and when, designs your garden for you, and gives you daily reminders of what to do.

Fascinating! Is it true? A 2-liter bottle of water in roof provides as much light as 50-watt light bulb.

I do love ginger, and I never manage to have it on hand when I need it. "Grow your own ginger Takes about ten months starting from supermarket root. You can harvest the grass and cut pieces off the root and replant - it will keep growing"
