How I Made The Switch To Natural Deodorant

So my journey in clean eating isn't just about food. Rather, it's an entire lifestyle change. If I really want to change, I have to look at what I put on my body. That too is seeping into my skin. I have really been questioning every little thing lately, including deodorant. I wanted to get rid of the aluminum, parabens and other non natural things that are often found in deodorant/antiperspirant. So I have made the switch to Crystal Deodorant. It comes in roll- on, stick or spray form. One very important part:put it on clean skin. I always apply it after I shower. I do find it does a good job of masking odor. The other secret: baby powder. The powder helps in relieving any wetness you might have since the Crystal is only a deodorant. I would like to try a more natural power as well. Perhaps arrowroot. I am also interested in making my own deodorant with coconut oil. But for now this is a great alternative to the crap I was buying!!

7 Uses For Tea Tree Oil:Nature's Remedy

I love Tea Tree Oil. I use it for so many different purposes. It's a nice, natural alternative for many different products. Plus, it has that amazing, tingling feeling that leaves you so fresh and clean!!

1. My favorite Tea Tree product is The Body Shop's line of skin care. It works really well. Also, I will apply Tea Tree oil directly on a zit, with a q-tip.
2. Another favorite, is Paul Mitchell's line of Tea Tree shampoo/conditioner. It tingles! Works great and helps to prevent lice. Check out the lavender mint variety as well.
3. Add a few drops to a bath to combat muscle aches and overall relaxation.
4. Massage. Add 5-10 drops of Tea Tree to another massage oil. Helps with sore muscles. 
5. Tea tree has antibacterial and antispetic benefits including(but not limited to): athletes foot, warts, herpes, poison ivy, bruises and burns.
6. Tea Tree is safe to use on children, including: diaper rash, chicken pox, cradle cap, and measles. 
7. Can be used as a household cleaner as well. 

So next time you are in need of a natural remedy, put some Tea Tree Oil on it!!!
