Your All-Natural Deodorant Not Up To Snuff? Go Primal!

We met at Starbucks, one of my favorite hangouts. Amy smiled as she slid a glass jar across the table to me. I couldn’t have been more excited!

In 2005 when my husband and I started to rehab our diet and eat healthier, we also started researching how to live healthier through using clean, clear, natural products for household cleaning as well as bodily cleaning and care. It was easy to switch our shampoo and toothpaste over…but the one thing that just kept me in a frustrated tizzy was deodorant.

All-natural deodorant is available in most grocery and health food stores, and there are several brands and smells to choose from. However, it’s effectiveness against the stink in our active family was never enough. I had tried over 10 brands over the years, none of which could do it like the chemical-laden variety. I had all but given up. We had to have our all-natural deodorant for everyday, and a chemical (regular) deodorant for the heavy workout days.

When Andy and I were introduced to Amy’s husband Jimmy, we became friends on Facebook where I saw a post promoting Primal Pit Paste. I was all over that! Amy has a good story, and better yet, she has created a fantastic product. One that I am so proud to say I use and highly recommend you start using!

Primal Pit Paste is what seriously active people, who also want to smell nice, use as deodorant.

The day I met Amy at Starbucks, heard her story, and bought her awesome product was a truly great day for this deodorant seeker!

I challenge you: go all-natural and keep your dignity at the same time. Go Primal.

Amy’s heart is to help people by creating healthy products, and she gives back in a big way! September is childhood cancer awareness month, and Amy is donating $1 for every jar or Primal Pit Paste to the “Because of Ezra” foundation, fighting neuroblastoma.

BONUS SECTION: the Gillis’s Primal Pit Paste trial!

Andy and I were so excited to put Primal Pit Paste to the test, that we decided to do so the very day I brought it home! We did a 10 Minute Trainer “Total Body” workout using resistance bands, followed by a 5 mile run that included a mile long bridge in the month of August, in the state of Florida! Wow, the stuff works! Haha, we were so loving’ the way we were smelling’ that we took it to the next level:
