Pits; everyone has them, and they can stink and make your clothes wet.
But worse than the odor is the chemicals used on this delicate place. If
you have been considering a natural deodorant, consider Bar-Maids
Probiotic Deodorant. It is aluminum, paraben, and phthalate free and
currently offered in 2 sizes and two scents. Give your pits a breather!
You could come out smelling like a rose (geranium) – which, by the way,
will be released in January.
This year's dyers include: Destination Yarns, Twisted Owl Fiber Studio, Miss Babs, Safronie, and Gynx Yarns. You won't want to miss out on this colorful and exciting club collection. Visit erinlanebags.com today to sign up for your spot in the 2017 Indie Yarn Carnival.
Let’s put our collective best foot forward!
