PitRok Deodorant

OK, it sounds a bit strange, but this natural crystal deodorant works! PitRok is hard (like a rock) and comes in a push-up tube like a regular stick deodorant. To use it, you apply to wet skin or (and I prefer this) wet it and then rub it under your arms. It isn’t sticky, and it says on the pack that it ‘doesn’t block your pores’.

PitRik works by suppressing bacterial growth (apparently that’s what makes your armpits whiff). It has no aluminium chlorohydrate or aluminium zirconium (whatever they are - but sounds like we’re better off without them).  The ingredients are ammonium alum (pure mineral salts).

I don’t know how effective it would be in the jungle, but I’ve had a few gym workouts after using it and no-one in my household banished me to the shed afterwards!

Building Society Bliss

Most banks and building societies give you the impression that you are taking up their valuable time looking after (and making money on) your hard earned cash. Are there any out there that make you feel otherwise?

I’ve found one: Norwich & Peterborough (well my local branch anyway – perhaps others can share their experiences of theirs). What a pleasant change from the big boys! Whenever I’ve been in the branch, there are two advisers on hand to help with anything I need (especially form filling, which I hate), and not much of a queue at the counter.

I can’t say I know a lot about banking and savings, but at N & P they don’t patronise you: they just tell you in simple terms about APRs, AERs and all that other gobbledegook.

The other thing I like is that when you phone them, the average time to get through seems to be about 1 minute, unlike others I could mention, where mostly I have given up in frustration after waiting 20 minutes…

P.S. – they are a ‘mutual’, which means that they don’t have shareholders they have to please, and as I understand it, the credit crunch hasn’t affected them, as they don’t do all that lending and borrowing stuff with other banks.

Toothpaste that repairs your teeth

Toothpaste that really works

I had a really rough edge to one of my front teeth, which made eating ice cream a less than pleasant experience, so I tried a toothpaste called BlanX Biorepair, which you can get in most chemist shops (Boots stock it).

Wow, what a result! After using for a few weeks, my front tooth is as smooth as silk. I can’t stop running my tongue over it to feel how smooth it is. I don’t know how this stuff works, but it really does the trick. Also, it doesn’t have fluoride in it, so those who don’t like that particular substance (too much is bad for kids, apparently), that’s an added bonus.
