Numerous studies have looked for a link between antiperspirants and cancer/alzheimer's, but none of them have found a link.

The only health effects they have been able to find is acne, so if you’re getting acne in the areas that you spray with antiperspirant, the recommendation is to try different ones until it stops.

You might want to put your country and growing zone in your post. Also do you have deer, rabbits, etc and what sort of soil do you have. (Telling you an excellent source of tulips does no good for example if you have hoards of deer like we do)

How much work do you want to put into it? Naturalizing tulips and daffodils will give you a good chance of not needing to replant every year.

Dahlias are tuberous and if you can commit to digging the tubers up and storing them in a loose airy medium until next spring they will always make new tubers for you.

Wear whatever deodorant you want. Soak your tees in vinegar before washing. Best thing for sweat stains. Second best and more universal option is to use blue dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. I keep a spray bottle of each in my laundry area (a black glass spray bottle or buy it in the spray bottle already at the store, the peroxide will lose its effectiveness if exposed to light) and spray stains with each before washing and it removes most stains. Context: I’m a vintage clothes dealer

Reply to Looking for a new pair of walking shows that are good for 10 miles a day plus on concrete. Also need a wide toe box and the ankle area has to be very thin. Think adidas sock style sneakers. Willing to pay up to $150 + by terpene-queen-sg

Walking shoes should never be BIFL. They’re a wear item. After a certain number of miles the cushion breaks down and no longer does its job. Also the soles, and construction in general, need to be light weight so it wears out quickly.

Just get a good pair and consider them disposable.

If you have stains on stuff you want to wear still, look into stripping the clothes. Takes borax and washing soda (not baking soda, but you can bake the baking soda to make washing soda if you can’t find it), and detergent. In a bathtub full of hot water. Let it soak for 4 hours then wash again like normal. Take stains and smells right out!
