"Stop smelling your armpits."
"I can't help it. They smell insane. Seriously. Wanna sniff?"
"No.................well, maybe."

"Wow, your pits *do* smell amazing."
"Told you."
Verbatim conversation husband and I had a few days after I purchased Herbal Curio's all-natural, Bay Rum scented deodorant. I LOVE THIS STUFF. It contains virgin coconut oil, unrefined shea butter, cadelilla wax, cassava starch and vitamin E for starters. And for $7.50, I consider it a steal not to have cakey, aluminum-riddled deodorant grace my temple. Plus it *works*.
Also picked up a jar of Lemon Mint whitening toothpaste -- again, made from virgin coconut oil, baking soda, and essential oils among other ingredients -- and can't get enough of the delicious, clove-heavy, pumpkin-pie-spice flavor. The whitening power is ludicrous, too; you can *see* the residue the toothpaste is pulling from your teeth in the sink when you spit.
Swing by the West End Farmers Market and support adorable, plucky Megan at Herbal Curio by picking up her all-natural, hand-produced bath and body products. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she offers everything from tattoo aftercare balm and milk bath, to mouthwash, moisturizer, and face cleanser. Not to mention the products are vegan, organic, and *effective*. (Bonus: she accepts credit card and Square payments.) Wooooohooooooo! As good as it gets! read more
