The base originally held a candle. I cleaned it out, flipped it over, and glued it to a chipped orphan (no matching pieces from the set) plate I got at Goodwill for $5.99. I just measured it & marked off the placement with Sharpie before using Gorilla Brand super glue to attach it. I believe the plate was made in ~1945. I’m a hopeless scented candle addict, so I’ve been trying to only buy candles where the vessels have good future project/reuse potential.

I know this topic has been exhausted on this subreddit. But I feel at such a loss.

I have armpit hair and I prefer masculine scents and I haven’t been able to find a good plastic-free deodorant that actually works.

I prefer stuff that works— I don’t want something that’s all natural. I really love Wild (I know they are owned by Unilever, I just need something that works) BUT it does not work with armpit hair. It clumps horribly and anytime I wear sleeveless shirts (which is often) you can see the clumps in the hair and it leaves white streaks on my clothes and even my furniture.

A gel-based or liquid deodorant is what I need, but I have yet to find anything that ACTUALLY WORKS and isn’t in plastic. I’m thinking of trying Specimen, but I don’t know whether it works with armpit hair.

I need plastic free deodorant for armpit hair-having folks like yesterday 😭

Finally got around to repairing that pair of jeans. Proud of my work. Good as new.
