I know... It's been a while. And I apologize for that. I know you three readers out there expect more of me. But I have been on a search and have come back Victorious!
For months I have been searching. I have looked at home and in my city. I've traveled to TX and Vegas, but still the search continued. Only when I ventured as far as the east coast did things begin to come clear for me.
I've wondered what road I should take. Am I making the right decisions in my life? What can I do to better myself? My 2012 New Year's Resolution was to go to NYC to see if that's where my future might lead me, as I've always had a deep curiosity about that city. I've loved it on quick trips, but what about for longer term? Would I find what I've been searching for there after all?
Only after landing in DC, spending a brief stint in Virginia, then finally arriving in NYC right in the immediate aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, did my vision become clear. Crystal clear...
My LONG search for an Aluminum free Deodorant is finished!
This might sound like a silly feat, however I have long searched for an aluminum free deodorant that actually works, keeps me dry and smell-free. I'm a girl who has always enjoyed a good stick of Dove (deodorant or chocolate..), but research, and my mother, have continually reminded me that aluminum has some serious health risks, especially if you put on deodorant after showering with freshly shaved pits. Ahem... who doesn't?!
But this has Not been an easy task! As a "Frequent Sweater Member" I have found aluminum-free deodorants leaving much to be desired, and in fact having little to no effectiveness whatsoever.
This Crystal Body Deodorant is "made of Natural Mineral Salts which prevent body odor by creating an invisible protective barrier against odor-causing bacteria. It is fragrance free, non-sticky, non-staining, leaves no white residue and can be used by both Men and Women." It's environmentally safe and paraben free. AND IT WORKS!
The trick -- the stick is literally a giant crystal-hard rock of salt, and to rub on an unsuspecting pit is not a pleasant sensation. However the key is to put it on immediately after toweling off post-shower. As long as you are clean and damp, it glides on beautifully.
The downside -- the only bummer is that it can't be re-applied during the day, as it only goes on well over Clean pits. However, to find a deodorant like this that actually keeps me dry and stink-free, I'd say that's a pretty small downside.

Now that I have my pits and non-aluminum deodorant tackled, I'm off on the next pursuit - monumental or trivial - I'll leave that up to you to decide. All I know is that I have a new sense of purpose and confidence, knowing that I have my Crystal Body Deodorant there to have my back. ;)
