Up until 3 days ago I was still using the bad deoderant with aluminum and all sorts of muck. Yeah yeah, I know, but natural deodorant smells horrible and doesn't work for me and I think smelling like BO is pretty much the grossest thing ever. So I held out. But then the other morning, as I was brushing my teeth with my baking powder concoction, I had a thought: what if my love affair with baking soda could go even further? I wet my underarms a little, smoothed some baking soda on and went about my day. This was Saturday. I haven't showered since then (it's Summer and I'm lazy), have gardened more than 10 hours in that time, spent a while outdoors, gone on some walks, and my arm pits still don't stink! It's a miracle! Today they got a little sweaty, whereas before they stayed dry even when I was sweaty elsewhere. I don't have any white gunk on my clothes (including two black shirts.)
My point: It actually works better than convention antipersperants, has very little packaging, and won't fill my body with free radicals. Huzzah!
Also: I have power again.

wow have got to try this! have you ever tried that natural crystal rock deoderant? it works pretty well from my recollection but i wonder if it is indeed totally natural.
just wanted to let you know that I uploaded a post of yours to
http://sustain.newsladder.net/ (like Digg but centered around
sustainability). It's a great resource and I'm trying to spread the word
about it. Please check it out and upload your posts there if you can!
