Hiya :)
This is definately an off topic conversation.
Just wanting to be more o-natural and thought I'd see what all of the 811ers use for deodorant?
I'm wanting something more natural.
Also, When I shave, I ALWAYS get little pimples under my arms that look and feel gross...anyone have any advice???

I am around people who absolutely reek all the time, and no one seems to notice. In fact, I can smell the layers of their smell. The perfumed products they wear, including deodorant, and then the body odor beneath it.
To answer your question more simply, I am not fully raw and I find that the most important things not to consume in order to smell fine are: 1) Meat and dairy, 2) Garlic, 3) Onions. I think it took me a couple months initially to stop being so smelly, but I don't remember exactly. If I eat a lot of onions, I'll smell the next day, but the following day I'll be fine.

Permalink Reply by Greenmama on Yeah, here's to hair! I don't like the feeling of stubble and the time and expense of shaving. If my husband shaves around his mouth, then I won't let him kiss me unless he is freshly shaved because otherwise, I get bad stubble burn. Luckily, he keeps a goatee or a beard most of the time.

Permalink Reply by William Williams on I don't where deodorant as I don't feel I need it. But I think Alum stone is a good natural deodorant it's like a rock you wet and rub on your underarms. It is often packaged and sold as deodorant in health food stores etc.

As for deodarant well I'll be honest I don't really use any I always have a nice shower after a workout and I find that when I stay hydrated (clear urine) I barely sweat and I don't even think my body odour smells bad, its seems to have a sweet odour to it now. Maybe my sweet smelling sweat is related to all the fruits lol
Permalink Reply by Danelle Karth on Okay...so I am very new here, but long before we changed our diets my husband and I got rid of cleaning supplies and body products. I don't use deodorant of any kind very often. But sometimes you just want to make sure you don't smell bad. For those cases I make my own deodorant.
Mix water with some cornstarch and then add a little baking soda to it. How much you make is based on how large your bottle is. I always have way more than what fits in my little spray bottle. I usually start with 1/2 cup of water and add a teaspoon of cornstarch and 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda and then a little more cornstarch to help thicken it up a little. Add a few drops of tea tree oil and any essential oils that you want for a pleasant smell (it's a good idea to know that your essential oil of choice is safe). Mix well. Put it in a spray bottle. Shake before using and away you go.
