Our Favorite Fitness Products of 2014

Primal Pit Paste ($9) might not sound glamorous, but neither is the aluminum found in many antiperspirants. I am liking the lavender deodorant these days; the scent is not overwhelming, and I find that it keeps me from reeking on stressful days or when I wear synthetic-fabric tops. The simplicity of the recipe (baking powder, shea butter, coconut oil, arrowroot powder, and essential oils) also makes me feel comfortable giving this to my almost-teenage daughter when her hormones take a shift and something like this becomes necessary.
