Natural Living Tips: Beyond the Shower with STENCH

At STENCH, we're not just about clean skin; we're about a clean life. We know you're not sitting around waiting for a spa day. You're out there, pushing limits, getting your hands dirty, and living on your own terms. That's why we're bringing you some no-nonsense tips to incorporate natural living into your daily grind, beyond just a killer shower with STENCH.

1. Natural Scents for Your Domain:

• Ditch the Chemical Cloud: Kick those synthetic air fresheners to the curb. Diffuse essential oils like cedarwood, sandalwood, or pine. They'll create a natural, masculine vibe in your space.
• Gear Refresher: Mix distilled water with a few drops of essential oils (like those in our soaps) in a spray bottle. Lightly mist your workout gear, truck seats, or camping equipment for a fresh, natural scent.
• Natural Cedar Sachets: Place cedar sachets in drawers, closets, or your gym bag to naturally repel moths and freshen your gear.

2. Natural Cleaning for Your Fortress:

• Vinegar Power Tool: White vinegar is your go-to cleaner. Dilute it with water to clean windows, tools, or even your truck's interior.
• Baking Soda Muscle: Baking soda is a natural deodorizer and abrasive. Sprinkle it in your fridge, cooler, or boots to absorb odors. Use it as a scrub for tough stains on gear or tools.
• Lemon Degreaser: Lemon juice is a natural disinfectant and degreaser. Use it to clean cutting boards, grills, or to remove grease from your hands.

3. Natural Body Care for the Working Man:

• Coconut Oil Skin & Beard: Coconut oil is a fantastic natural moisturizer for your skin and beard. Use it as a body lotion, beard oil, or even to condition leather gear.
• DIY Grit Scrub: Mix sugar or coarse salt with coconut oil or olive oil for a heavy-duty exfoliating scrub. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil for an extra kick.
• Apple Cider Vinegar Aftershave: Diluted apple cider vinegar can be used as a natural aftershave to soothe irritation and balance your skin's pH.

4. Natural Recovery and Focus:

• Deep Breaths, Clear Head: Take a few minutes each day to practice deep breathing or meditation. Connect with nature by spending time outdoors, whether it's a hike or just a walk in the park.
• Herbal Brews: Enjoy a cup of herbal tea, like peppermint or ginger, to promote relaxation and digestion after a hard workout or long day.
• Natural Rest: Create a relaxing bedtime routine with a warm shower (using STENCH, of course!), calming essential oils, and a good book or some quiet time.

5. Sustainable Living for the Modern Outdoorsman:

• Leave No Trace: Make conscious choices to reduce your environmental impact when outdoors.
• Support Local Craftsmanship: Choose products that are locally sourced and sustainably produced.
• Grow Your Own: Even a small herb garden or a few potted plants can bring fresh, natural ingredients into your life.

By incorporating these simple tips into your daily routine, you can create a more natural and rugged lifestyle. At STENCH, we believe that natural living is a lifestyle, not a trend. So, embrace the power of nature and discover the many ways to live a healthier, more fulfilling life beyond the shower.
