Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I like the idea of this, DB, but wonder if you're not left with an oily coating on the underarm?

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Starshar >I like the idea of this, DB, but wonder if you're not left with an oily coating on the underarm?< Nah, the good stuff is merely creamy and the cheap stuff is downright stiff. The good stuff spreads around better and takes a bit less so it's worth paying for. The good stuff doesn't cause any bad effects but sometimes the cheap stuff makes me itch just a little bit at the end of a day. DB No virus found in this outgoing message.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 I use EverClear alcohol (sometimes with added essential oil of lavender and tea tree) in a spray bottle under my arms, whenever I notice any odor. Which is seldom, but definitely more often on MMS! My diet is so clean I hardly get any BO. It ended when I gave up red meat and dairy. Kathy Quote
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks, DB. I think I'll give this a try-------can't resist experiments. Most of the time I use one of the " Thai " mineral sticks, but I do have one very unusual product that I love to use as a deodorant. The Young Living aromatherapy company (NO---I do NOT sell this mlm stuff) makes a toothpaste called " Dentarome " . It's bicarb based and full of essential oils, and it happens to be a great deodorant. Last time I checked the label (quite awhile ago) it had none of the 'bad' ingredients found in commercial toothpaste.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 This is Utah, it's a dry state, and all liquor is in State owned Liquor stores. They keep the EverClear behind the counter: you have to ask the clerk for it. I don't hae a still in my back yard, I have a composter. Kind of like a still, only it doesn't hold still, it rotates. (gooooooollly!) LOL Kat Quote
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 I have heard you can buy it in Oregon. Jill Quote
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 Wait--it's a dry state, yet there are STATE owned liquor stores? Well, isn't that odd?
