Do This At Home:

Chub Rub / Thick Thighs Velvety Smooth Balm-like Recipe by NuestraHermana 

This post is a free for all recipe I am sharing with you all. I have used several summers to stop the rash/not so fun redness and discomfort caused by my beautiful thick thighs rubbing together in the heat!

I promised wholegrainlofat this recipe but I am sure lots of folks would love to make it/ discuss it/ use it.

Supplies:
1 thoroughly clean & totally dry tightly sealable container 
1 clean sanitized metal spoon (will be touching high heat so don’t recommend plastic)
1/2 cup rice powder 
1/2 cup arrowroot powder 
1/4 cup cocoa butter (or a mix of cocoa & Shea butter)
1/4 cup coconut oil (if allergic just use more of the butters above or mango butter)

Optional: 
A few drops vitamin e 
A few drops tea tree oil (I really recommend this though!)

Instructions:

Melt all your butters & oils in a double boiler or VERY slowly in the microwave in a glass container 
Mix in your powders & optional ingredients.
Mix very very well!! 
Place in your container and smooth down.

Use wherever you need it! Just remember do not allow water to enter the mix.

Feel free to share but please keep credit where credit is due :)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and if you made this please let me know I love to hear others experiences!

Seattle folks!! this is tomorrow
Deaf Spotlight, Seattle Disability Justice Collective “the DJC”*, and the D Center will be screening two films on the subject on Deaf Culture, with a group discussion to follow. Date: May 18, 2013 Time: 2 -5 p.m. Location: UW Kane Hall 210 Free Admission Scent-free environment ASL & voice interpretation provided. If you need a shuttle to the venue space in order to access the campus, let us know ASAP at seattledisabilityjustice@gmail.com or by phone at  (206) 380-1474. AUDISM UNVEILED (2008) ‘Audism Unveiled’ is a 57 minute documentary made by Ben Bahan, H-Dirksen Bauman, and Facundo Montenegro. ‘Audism Unveiled’ features interviews with a wide range of Deaf people who speak to how audism, the oppressive treatment of Deaf people, has affected their lives and culture. This film aims to educate and spread the knowledge that oppressed people are not alone, and share a common bond with many others who have experienced oppression. This film explores the many faces of audism, and the deep emotional scars resulting from this form of discrimination. This film is a wonderful introduction to a side of Deaf culture that cannot be found in any textbook. THE END (2011) ‘The End’ is a 25 minute film written and directed by Ted Evans. It is an award-winning drama that starts in the 1980’s and follows four Deaf children over a span of 60 years. After the introduction of a treatment aimed at eradicating deafness, the very survival of Deaf language and culture is at stake. Featuring stunning visual effects and an ensemble cast, ‘The End’ is a thought-provoking alternative vision of the future. This tale is told in British Sign Language with voiceover, and open captions. *The Seattle Disability Justice Collective is a grassroots organization founded in 2011 that organizes events that are political, cultural, artistic and educational regarding disability justice. Disability justice to us means building more liberated communities and movements by making connections between disability, race, gender, class and sexuality and *centering the experiences of those often marginalized in disability communities.
