I sweat.  Truth.  Can we move on now?

Okay, for the millionth time, I’m a sweater, blah, blah, blah, talking about it is probably just as annoying as the Rolling Stones having to perform Satisfaction.  I sound like a broken record, but honestly, I do sweat a great deal and it’s been really hard for me to find a deodorant that:

• Really works
• Is non-toxic
• Won’t stain my whites (albeit temporarily)
• Won’t cause any irritation with continued use
• Hopefully has magnesium hydroxide because that’s what has worked for me in the past

So, you can only imagine how quickly I ordered the new Meow Meow Tweet Baking Soda Free Deodorant Cream with Grapefruit.  Now, for those of you with some baking soda issues, you’ll know that, for some people, the baking soda can make underarms very sore and irritated. Again, some people just love the stuff to death, but others will have some irritation.  This, my dears, may be your solution.

So, what am I discovering with this new baking soda-free deodorant?  Well, it’s absolutely working.  Not only working, but working better than ANYTHING else I’ve tried.  The first night I wore it to bed,  in the AM I quickly took a sniff, “Wow, nothing!” I thought to myself.   The next day I went apartment hunting, all day long,  rushing from appointment to appointment, got home, no smell.  This morning I took it for the real test – the gym – still, nothing.  OMG.   Tara & Jeff of Meow Meow Tweet have basically solved a life-long problem for me…thank you, guys!

How does it feel & smell?

It is super creamy and is really easy to apply.  With nothing grainy about the texture, just a pea-sized amount rubbed on your armpit will do the trick.  Bonus?  It smells like delicious grapefruit!

So, what’s in it?

Here’s the ingredient list (pretty nice, eh?)  *Arrowroot powder, *shea butter, magnesium hydroxide, *virgin coconut oil, *jojoba oil, *grapefruit, *bergamot, *lemon and *sweet orange essential oils  *organic ingredient

What is magnesium hydroxide?  From the MMT website:  “Designed without baking soda and clay, this recipe uses dietary magnesium, a mineral supplement required by every cell in the body for various metabolic processes. The magnesium combined with nourishing plant oils and butters, arrowroot powder and citrusy essential oils, keeps you smelling fresh throughout the day.”
