I picked this up at Target the other day. It was under five dollars which is a freaking miracle for all natural deodorant. The only natural deodorant that has worked for me is Primal Pit paste and Smith's no longer carries it. I posted this on Instagram, and I think I got more comments than any other post. People really struggle with natural deodorants! I thought I was alone. Most people who have tried this brand didn't like it, one person warned that it stains white clothes, and only a couple of people said they like it. Yikes, I'm scared. I'll report back, but I don't have the highest of hopes. I wish Primal Pit paste was easier to find!!!
I also picked this up to try. I've been reading amazing healing stories about CBD oil. I don't talk about my depression a whole lot because I don't know why. It's just something I've dealt with for so long that it's just a part of me. But it's been really difficult to handle lately, and I've been having some super dark thoughts. I would say so far it does help me to be a bit more calm. Yesterday I was really struggling, I felt irritated, anxious and very sad. I had to ride the bus from hell which wasn't helping matters and I took a half of a dose and this calm washed over me. And I take a little before I go to sleep and the past two nights I've slept like a baby! When I take melatonin, I'll fall asleep but I wake up multiple times throughout the night. But I stayed asleep and I wake up feeling very rested and refreshed.
I saw these on my Target trip an couldn't resist. It was an impulse buy. I knew they weren't going to be loaded with broccoli, but they just sounded good.
I made some chunky oven fries, some broccoli tots and a little salad for dinner. The tots are pretty dang tasty to be honest. Like I said they're not brimming with broccoli, but it's in there. They're no millet tot, but I would still buy these again for sure!!
I tried this key lime coconut yogurt for dessert. It was okay. The lime tasted super fake which is why I don't like a lot of fruit flavored things. Especially with citrus because it can swerve into perfume/aromatherapy flavor which no one wants. I definitely would not buy this flavor again.
Natural deodorants are frustrating! I usually only wear them during the winter when I am not so sweaty.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I love primal pit paste so much. I used it last summer in this extreme heat and it worked like a charm! They are frustrating though!!!
DeleteOooh so many fun new things! Soooooo I don't want to be a bummer about the deodorant but I tried that brand before (granted it was the pate form and not the stick) and it was rough. I was so itchy from it and I don't know if it was because it was thick and weird or if it was the formula but it was kind of rough. I hope that the stick form is better and that it works for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the CBD is working for you! I've played around with it and haven't quite found the right dose for me and my issues but it's encouraging to hear that people are having success with it! The tots sound really yummy (and that meal looks awesome!) and too bad about the fake lime flavor!
The deodorant is definitely rough even in stick form. So far it has worked though, but I've only used it for two days. I'll see after a week!
DeleteThe CBD is helping me sleep an also with anxiety, but it isn't doing a lot for my depression yet. But two out of three is pretty nice!
The tots are amazing!!
I found magnesium to work much better for me than melatonin which somehow gave me issues waking up often. I get magnesium at trader joe’s which seems to be the best price for anywhere near me.
ReplyDeleteBroccoli tots sound like fun! There seem to be tots made from everything now. I never had tots or frozen fries growing up, certainly lots of baked or roasted potatoes though.
And yikes, thanks for the warning on that key lime flavor!

I've never taken magnesium. I know it's in Epsom salts and I soak in Epsom salts often. I'll have to look for magnesium the next time I brave Trader Joe's.
DeleteFake citrus flavor is the worst!
I found those broccoli tots on sale a while ago and I tried and loved them! Not overwhelming in the broccoli but they still have broccoli taste.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite "keeping calm" thing is the cinnamon stress relief tea from Traditional Medicinals. It doesn't make me sleepy; it just sort of takes away the anxiety and bad feelings. It's skullcap, and I imagine any cinnamon skullcap tea would do the same thing.
I agree on the tots! I really love them!!
DeleteI'll have to look for that tea. I love Traditional Medicinals tea. I think I saw that flavor at Sprouts!
I am one of the sweaty people who commented. We don't have that brand, but I know my pits are too strong for any natural deodorant I have tried. Nothing but aluminium packed anti-perspirant will do. And even then I still sweat and can smell!
ReplyDeleteI am glad that CBD works for you. We don't have that sort of stuff here. I resort to taking anti-histamines and magnesium to try and get me to sleep, but I still wake up a bunch.
So far I've used the deodorant two times and it's worked. I'll see after a week! But in the hot summers I have no hope!
DeleteIt's the waking up that gets you.
I'm sorry your depression's been bad lately; sending hugs! <3 I hope the CBD oil continues to help with your anxiety and sleep! The broccoli tots sound really fun!
