Many people prefer to use natural deodorant. For some it is about avoiding artificial ingredients that they can't pronounce; for others it is a desire not to interfere with the body's natural sweating process. Whatever your reason, there are many natural choices on the market. As with all products, people find natural deodorant to be of varying levels of efficacy. You'll have to experiment to find what works for you. However, many people find that roll-ons and sprays work better than sticks. You will not find natural antiperspirant. Plant oils and extracts have been proven to have antimicrobial effects. These oils can be combined with other readily accessible ingredients. Try combining solids like beeswax, cocoa butter, or shea butter with oils including thyme, rosemary, or lavender. Baking soda is also a common ingredient in homemade deodorant. While wanting to smell nice is not a new phenomenon, it was not easy to convince American consumers to buy deodorant. Keep in mind that companies' business depends on convincing you that you stink! There is actually a single gene that controls whether or not you have the chemical that bacteria like to feed on, causing smelly sweat. If you don't have this gene, you don't need deodorant. Short of coding your DNA, you can get an idea of whether you have this gene or not by looking at your earwax, which is controlled by the same gene. If it's dry and flaky, you likely do not produce stinky sweat. Of course, no one needs deodorant for health reasons. It's not something you need to spend money on just because everyone else does.

If your boyfriend wants to take a full break from the relationship, rather than just spend a little more time by himself, work together to set very clear expectations. Talk about whether you can see each other in person once or twice, or whether you can text or email. Do your best to stick to these boundaries. This will show your boyfriend that you understand his concerns, take them seriously, and want to work to make your relationship better. Ask your boyfriend how much time he feels he needs, then try to compromise from there. Any timeframe spanning from a week to a month is a reasonable request for a break. If he wants to take a longer break, lasting for a few months, you may want to sit down for a longer talk about your relationship. This could be a symptom of deeper problems in your relationship. Take into account the reasons behind your boyfriend's request for space and work together to decide what you're comfortable with. Make sure that the expectations are clear to both of you to prevent misunderstandings and hurt feelings. If he's unsure of where your relationship is heading and needs to decide if this is what he really wants, he might want to see other people. If he wants the time to reflect deeply and individually on your relationship, it might make less sense for him to date other people. Read a new book, watch your favorite movie, or cook a delicious meal for yourself. Have dinner with friends, go for a jog or a swim, or try yoga. Instead of thinking about what your boyfriend is doing during the break, devote your energy to your own well-being. When the break is over, text or call your boyfriend and arrange to meet up in a public, neutral place. Hug him and tell him how excited you are to see him. You'll also want to address more serious concerns about the break, but don't hesitate to show him how happy you are to be together again. Ask him how he is and how the break went for him. Avoid being overbearing with your enthusiasm. Instead of saying, "I missed you so much, I thought about you every minute!", try, "I'm so happy to be with you again! I really missed you."

One-sentence summary -- Set clear boundaries. Agree on a timeframe. Talk about whether you'll see other people. Take the time to practice self care. Be energized when you reconnect.
