  I love to fill this blog with lots of ways you can support your own health in your own home. I believe health is your birthright and your natural state.

My secret to wiping out pit stink FOREVER!!! Even in the hottest weather!!!!

Never thought I’d be blogging about my armpit, so I had no idea what picture to put with this post… but luckily my hubby accidentally shot a random outtake picture of my pit/shoulder area when he was taking necklace pictures for me. So here we go… Armpit funk. I’ve had it all my life. Not super bad, mind you… just a little stickiness when I wake up in the morning, or afternoon funk from the southern heat of the SC lowcountry.
