Baby/Body Recipe : Make Your Own Baby Powder

I recently ordered a natural blend of baby powder, it cost $8. I wasn't happy with the price because too often natural/organic products across the spectrum are not competitively priced. I understand why some people don't go for those purchases because they really can break your budget.

When I ordered my baby powder, I knew that I wouldn't get a bang worth 8 bucks, but I ordered it anyway. Low-and-Behold, I open my package to find an almost microscopic container of baby powder.  3 little ounces of dust, $8 dollars, 6 tablespoons... I've been hoodwinked-bamboozled!!

Never again...

I'm going to make my own baby powder. Why should I pay someone $8 for something that I can make on my own? To answer the question, I shouldn't and I'm not. For those of you who want gain your independence here's a recipe from (wellnessmama.com)

There are several baby care, body care, and nutrition recipes on the site.

• 1 tsp chamomile or calendula flowers, powdered in the blender or food processor

How to Make: 
Powder the chamomile or calendula if using. Mix with the arrowroot powder and store in a glass jar or sugar shaker (see links above) for easy use. Use as you would regular baby powder.
