Success! I have found a deodorant that I can actually recommend and continue using! Thanks to the folks at Primal Pastures, I was able to try a tube of their 2 oz deodorant (I chose Tea Tree).

What I liked about this product was that it actually kept my underarms smelling fresh ALL DAY….I’m not kidding…even after a workout, I didn’t smell like sweat. I even let my sister do the “sniff test” and she was amazed, since we both tend to get pretty stinky after workouts.

Since this is a deodorant, it is NOT an antiperspirant. You will expect to have some dampness under your arms, but that’s actually a GOOD thing! (Sweat is our body’s way of naturally detoxing). You won’t find any harsh chemicals in this product, which is exactly what I have been looking for. Yes, this product is free of aluminum, paragons and artificial ingredients. It is almost entirely organic and contains some Certified Fair Trade ingredients.

The product is a little gritty feeling, so don’t swipe it on immediately following shaving, in case you’re prone to sensitivity. I found that lightly dabbing it on or applying it prevented the product from showing on my  skin. Since it’s relatively soft, it’s best to keep it out of warm temperatures and in a cool dry place. Each tube should last around 6 months once you start using. At $12.00 a tube, it’s a great deal in my opinion. Check out their webpage under “Farm Shop” and then “Primally Pure” to find their whole line of toiletry items.

I plan on trying “Lavender” scent next time! (Scented with essential oils, no artificial fragrances). 

Have you tried their deodorant or any of of their other products? I’d be curious as to what your thoughts are! :)

It’s summer time and who doesn’t love a good iced tea on a hot day, or to cool down after a work out?!
Honest Teas was nice enough to let me choose a couple bottles of their famous iced teas to try out for the first time! I chose the Organic Peach Tea and the Organic Orange Mango Flavored Herbal Tea. There are a collection of 9 teas in their 16.9 oz plastic bottle series, all of which are:
* Organic
* Fair Trade Certified
* Orthodox Union Kosher Certified
* Gluten-Free
* Non GMO

All of their tea leaves are Organic and Fair Trade Certified (Super important!!) And they brew it just as you would at home, steeped in hot water!
There is one tea in the line up that is unsweetened. The rest of them are “just a tad sweet”.
(Here is a list of the ingredients they use to sweeten their teas in case you were wondering: Organic cane sugar, Fair Trade Organic cane sugar, Organic honey, Organic Fruit juice, Stevia, Erythritol, Organic maple syrup or Organic Agave Syrup.)

I always want to know what the “Natural Flavors” in a drink are all about. I found out that all of the flavors they use are either certified organic and/or organic compliant, which means that according to the National Organic Program, their natural flavors are free from all synthetic, GMO, and irradiated ingredients. All of their natural flavors are also vegetarian and derived from plant material.

The Peach Tea was by far my favorite! It was super refreshing and the sweetness was not overpowering like some iced teas can taste. There were only 100 calories in the whole bottle and 25g of sugar. Caffeine content was 67mg in this bottle (about 1/3 of the caffeine found in a cup of brewed coffee).

  
The Orange Mango was an herbal iced tea. I did enjoy this one as well. It is refreshing when super cold and hit the spot mid-day! It as well contained 100 calories with 22g of sugar and 20% Vitamin C and 10% Vitamin A. Because it’s an herbal tea, there is no caffeine in it.


 These teas can be found almost everywhere! You might also know them for their Honest Fizz sodas and Honest Kids juices. Check them out on their website HERE

I am usually not a big iced tea drinker, but these were worthy of tried again. I might become a tea drinker now!

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
