Day 8

Thoughts: I use lemon for deodorant. I believe what you put on your skin is just as impactful as what you put in your mouth. Kevin Tredea, the amazing author of 'What They Don't Want You To Know' says "If you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin".

I wonder if it was super sweet because I haven't had artificial sugar for 5 days and the natural sugar now stands out to me. Challenges: Making time to prepare meals from scratch.
