Another roll-on, very readily available at online stores such as Vitacost and Lucky Vitamin, as well as in Whole Foods and other health food stores. It works great for me and is now my new go-to. Whew. The key? Know the ingredients in things and see what works for you! Another update: So because of what I figured out in January about Alvera, I tried Herbal Magic.

In fact, my husband and I both marveled at how it seemed to work--dare I say this too?--BETTER than regular deodorants. We were so thrilled. Just now, however, I was looking at the ingredients and saw "alcloxa", which I didn't recognize. So I looked it up. It's a form of allantoin. But what took some more digging is that it contains compounds of {gasp!} aluminum! One of THE very things I'm trying to avoid. While it may be in smaller amounts than other similar products, it's still there. Very deceptive labeling. In my searching, I found many many folks who felt deceived and who were disappointed and angry. So if you purchased this on my recommendation, I apologize. Move on to something else once you use it up, if avoiding aluminum is important to you. And if should be.

I bought a roll-on deodorant that got great reviews. Brand: "Alvera", and we got the unscented. It works really, really great for both of us. In fact, I actually feel like it works better than anything I've tried in recent years, natural or not. At least one reviewer of the product said you could use it in places other than your armpits due to the natural factor. I'll let you use your imagination there. Like with any roll-on, you need to wait for it to dry. Not a problem for me, I do that with lots of things, such as my lotion. That said, Reid just does the under-the-shirt application like many of us do with sticks and still likes the results. So there you have it. For now... :) Update: While I did okay with it, Jungleman wasn’t working for my hubs, so the search continued. I bought a roll-on deodorant that got great reviews.

I appreciate knowoing the percentage increase risk for each of these behaviors. The sleep one kind of blew my mind - 89% increase! Wow that's a lot. My sleep hasn't been as great lately as I like it to be, and I know why now and, so Im on it to correct the behavior and get back to my much loved all night snooze. Great post Heather.

I ALWAYS negatively affects me when I dont get in enough water. My magic amount is 3L/day. And getting in a big salad is another that if I don't do (as you said- probably about 4x/week) really knocks me down. I love your items to do.

I just love a short and killer workout! I have to say, if I was queen of the world, I'd take away the thing in you that makes you feel like you don't look fabulous all the time, regardless of size or shape. Whatever room you walk in to you're the smartest and prettiest one there. Brilliant and gorgeous ... sounds like a good gig to me! Sounds like an awesome workout Heather.
