Great Green Gobs of Greasy Grimy Armpit Stains?!

I have been collecting/pinning DIY ideas for quite some time.  Shameless plug:  Follow me and check out my pins!  Some I've tried and some I am still meaning to, but recently I've been on a roll with laundry related homemade remedies.  

Oily-Face Challenge Week 4 Update and Conclusion

Week 4 left me utterly confused! By the end of week 3 my face was so greasy I could have fried chicken with the ooze coming out of my pores.  By midweek of week 4 my face was so dry it was literally flaking off my face.  I broke down and used St. Ives apricot scrub and Adam's face lotion on my face one night during my final week.  In my defense, you wouldn't have wanted my face flakes in your operative site now would you?!  I didn't think so!  I couldn't handle my face leaving dandruff on my scrub top. Thankfully, that small exfoliation was enough to re-balance whatever the hell was going on with my face.

Holy Gross, Batman!!   

The moment I've been dreading has finally arrived! My skin is rebelling!  At the end of week 3, I am 100% grossed out to look in the mirror.  

Eeeek!

Oily Face Challenge Week 2

I'd like to be able to say that I kept a daily log of my face washing experience this week but that would be a total lie.  In fact, I didn't jot down a single thing.  So.... This week's update is going to be a weak one.  I am still using the same formulation from last week:

1/3 castor oil to 2/3 apricot kernel oil
