010: The Complete Beauty Products Template

Make 6 DIY personal care products at home, including lip balm, deodorant, non-petroleum jelly, hand and body lotion, shampoo + conditioner.

We don’t need half the name brand products the beauty industry tells us we need.

We don’t need their plastic packaging, toxic ingredients and hefty price tags, either.

When it comes to sustainability, frugality and holistic health, making DIY personal care products at home is the only choice. It’s quick and easy, too.

On this week’s episode, I give you everything you need to replace 6 commercial beauty products with all-natural, homemade ones. We’re making Lip Balm, Deodorant, Non-Petroleum Jelly, Hand + Body Lotion and Anti-Shampoo and Conditioner, all with 5 ingredients or less and under 30 minutes.

Pleasure-Saturated

We Homo Sapiens are notorious for avoiding pain and seeking pleasure. In fact, we have transformed the planet from a place of scarcity to a place of overwhelming abundance, with ample opportunities to flood our brains with dopamine at every turn.

But over-consuming has consequences: Exposure to prolonged and repeated pleasurable stimuli decreases our capacity to tolerate pain and increases our threshold for experiencing pleasure. 

On today's show: Resetting your neural set point to make dopamine work FOR you, not against you.


Here's a preview:
