I saw Avatar months ago and decided I wanted to save the blue people so I started recycling at home. Not to sound like a dork but recycling is so fun. You think it's going to be all water bottles and cans. THEN you finish your cereal and realize "Hey, I can recycle this box." Okay I sound like a super nerd but with that said, start recycling :)
My go green mission also took me where few women will dare to go. Natural deodorant. Since I was 13 I've heard about the chemicals in deodorant and how there are some concerns about cancer blah blah blah. Well I finally decided to give Lush deodorant a try. Don't ask me why...the store was there in the mall so I walked in.
The deodorant comes in a block and the one I got T'eo...smells like amazingness. There's no wasteful packaging just a block of freshness you can keep in a tin or a bag. So the block costs $8 but I'm pretty sure it's going to last me until its cold outside. But here's the thing...with traditional deodorant, I can take a shower at night, hit the gym in the morning and not offend people as I leave the gym.
This natural stuff, you stink. But it's refreshing. Forgive me if that sounds gross. But if I don't shower and I sweat, it feels natural to smell.
Also, my skin feels healthy! Like it is breathing. Even on the Lush website they say "Sweat Happens, it's our bodies way of eliminating toxins." So if your deodorant stops your sweat...where do the toxins go?
This is starting to sound like a commercial and I sound like a hippie so I will shut up. But with the state of our planet, I suggest you all look for ways to go green a little bit.
LOL this is funny... I'm not ready to give up my aluminum packed deordorant BUT if I ever do, there are additional measures that can be taken to eliminate the "stink"...Chlorphyll and apple cidar vinegar...supposedly, when ingested (capsules or straight) both act as natural body deordants...So your "stink" wont be so stinky! :)
ReplyDeleteThis probably sounds gross but I ALWAYS wear natural deodorant if I'm working out. It just seems like that's a time you're going to sweat a whole lot so why not get all those nasty toxins you're talking about, out of your system. I like Lush too! I'll have to try their deodorant now!
