I stopped using aluminum deodorants/antipersperants about 20 years ago. At that time, I switched to Toms, which is aluminum free. Back then there were few brands to choose from, but now there’s Native and a host of others. However, a few months ago, I ditched store bought deodorants all together. I decided that deodorant was doing nothing more than blocking my sweat glands and preventing my lymphatic system from doing its job efficiently. It was a scary proposition. I didn’t want to have an odor. However, as a mostly plant-based eater, odor is not much of a problem. I also take cholorophyl tablets daily which helps to neutralize odor. In addition, I spray my underarms with a mixture of lemon juice, tea tree oil, and rose water.

Read the following article which outlines the harmful effects of aluminum found in deodorants/antipersperents to prevent perspiration. Choose wisely.

"They can’t possibly want me to rest it on the ground. As I am musing about the possibilities, I see movement in my periphery."

Possum and Pizza

I realized I have been driving for Uber for nine years. I have seen a bit of everything, especially late at night. I've decided to chronicle my experiences. Here is a preview.

Don’t Make Me…
While the top of her head and the afro puff that adorns it can barely be seen through the front passenger window, she sure can be heard. This little half-pint is grabbing the car door handle and insisting she sit in the front seat. She is shouting her desire to the top of her lungs.
“No sirreazy little Becky Bad Ass!” I say in my head and out loud I say, “No, you can’t sit in the front. You are too small.”
