Spray the Bitch Away is an aromatherapy spray/perfume for when you’re irritated, annoyed, tired, frustrated, enraged and have an overall bad attitude. To help with PMS, hot flashes, menopausal issues and overall general bitchiness, two oils considered to be the best for those issues are used: rose geranium and clary sage. Lavender, bergamot and frankincense, are then added to create a calming effect. This perfume is a light freshwater perfume with a purpose. Always breathe in the aroma as you are using it.

Boobalicious breast deodorant, £5.12

Boobalicious is an all natural and organic boob deodorant for boob sweat. The owner of Boobalicious came up with this idea when she worked in a boutique. She noticed that she was sweating under and between her breasts. She knew at that moment that she was going to make a deodorant to prevent this.

Ollie and Max Soap Co. natural deodorant, £5.76

A recent study has shown that it takes 10 seconds for our skin to absorb into our body what we put on to it. This deodorant contains only natural ingredients: aluminum-free baking soda helps absorb moisture and odour, arrowroot powder aids in moisture absorption, and kaolin clay also helps with moisture and odour elimination. To use it, scoop out a pea sized amount and rub into your underarm area.
