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.

Unhappy? You're Normal

Cultural messaging and suggests you should be happy all the time. But your "happy chemicals"—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin—evolved to motivate survival behavior, not make you happy.

In fact, unhappiness is your brain's default state.

On today's show Dr. Loretta Breuning argues that you can manage your happy chemicals when you know how they work in the state of nature, and she's here to show us how.

Here's a preview:

[9:00] Serotonin is about social dominance. Enter comparison and competition

[13:00] Want a dose of oxytocin? Be part of a herd

[15:30] Endorphin is the brain's natural opioid. But you can habituate to it!

[18:00] Just got something you want? That flood of happiness is dopamine's doing, but dopamine runs out

[25:00] We are living in an era of immense abundance. So why aren't we happy?
