Source: katleho Seisa / Getty When it comes to self-care and beauty routines, one of the most underserved (and under-discussed) beauty areas is our underarms. Nevertheless, we come in contact with them every day from washing to applying our deodorants or anti-perspirants. I had the opportunity to speak with Dove Dermatologist Dr. Alicia Barba to help debunk one of the biggest misconceptions occurring in the beauty and medical world surrounding anti-perspirants. Personally, I started using natural deodorant because I didn’t want to pour any toxins into my body or prevent my body from sweating. I feel like sweating is normal and releasing toxins need to happen. I had hopes but it left me funky and continuously worrying if I was giving off an odor. When you use an anti-perspirant, it prevents your body from sweating. Dr. Barba explained, “Antiperspirants have a clinically active ingredient: aluminum chloride slats. Basically what it does is form a little plug on the pore where the sweat gland drains into. It forms a plug so you don’t have sweat on the surface of the underarm. When you don’t have sweat, then bacteria doesn’t grow.” When bacteria doesn’t grow, then you don’t have that unfavorable odor. Nevertheless, I was worried about cancer. I had heard multiple rumors surrounding breast cancer and anti-perspirants. Dr. Barba educated, “Anti-perspirants have never been proven to cause cancer. They are regulated as an over the counter drug. The FDA regulates these products. It’s not like we can just put whatever in an anti-perspirant. It’s been studied thoroughly and has never been linked.” However, if you are like me, I feel your body is supposed to sweat. If you want this, then just use a deodorant. Dr. Barba explained, “If you don’t have a problem with smell, you can get away with a deodorant.” A deodorant will just leave you fresh smelling but allow your body to sweat. If you’re also like me and despite what the FDA says, still worried about aluminum, you can get a deodorant with 0% aluminum ($5.99, target.com ). There are tons of great smelling anti-perspirants like Dove Dry Spray Go Fresh Antiperspirant Deodorant in Apple and White Tea ($5.58. walmart.com ) – the apple scent is great for Fall! This option is also great for people who sweat profusely and want to minimize this in an over the counter manner. What do you prefer? Do you use anti-perspirants or deodorants? Why or Why not?

It's hard to think of anything less scandalous than a friendship developing between two longtime co-workers. But when the colleagues in question are Kailyn Lowry and Leah Messer, a simple vacation is enough to fuel months of speculation. Primarily, the rumors around the possibility that Lowry and Messer are dating . It doesn't help that one of their co-workers — *cough* Jenelle Evans *cough* — has been providing grist for the mill by implying that these two are more than friends. So what really happened when the moms set off for Costa Rica together? Well, we finally found out on Tuesday's episode of Teen Mom 2 . Take a look: 1. Besties With Benefits? Yes, despite their repeated denials, some fans remain convinced that Kail and Leah are involved in a romantic relationship. 2. The Travelers Leah and Kail vacation together on a regular basis, and this has sparked romance rumors because … they occasionally sport swimwear and take photos together? 3. Kail and the Kids We’re not really sure, to be honest. You’d think the fact that Kail and Leah frequently bring their kids on these excursions would be enough to quash rumors of an illicit affair, but apparently not. 4. Central America Bound This time around, Kail and Leah set out for Costa Rica without any kids along for the ride. 5. What Happens in Costa Rica … Many assumed that Lowry and Messer engaged in all manner of wild behavior, and not just because they left the kids at home. 6. Ups and Downs Just prior to the trip, Leah endured what must have been one of the most tumultuous periods of her life. View Slideshow
Earlier this month, Kylie Jenner appeared on the cover of Playboy . Obviously, as a new mom and the world’s youngest “self-made” billionaire , Kylie could have discussed any number of topics in the interview that accompanied her racy pictorial. And while she touched on subjects like her booming cosmetics line and her love for her young daughter, there was one topic that dominated the discussion: Kylie’s love for Travis Scott — who also snapped some of the pics that appeared in her spread — seemed to be at the forefront of the 22-year-old’s mind. So it was that much more of a shock this week when fans noticed a subtle indication that Kylie and Travis may have called it quits on Jenner’s Instagram page. At first glance, it may seem that there’s nothing out of the ordinary about this selfie Kylie posed for in her walk-in closet. After all, Kylie posts selfies like it’s her job — which, in a sense, it is. But eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that Kylizzle had made a minor change chat could have major implications. If you look at the dresser behind Kylie, you’ll see that it’s completely bare on top. Now, compare it to this photo that was snapped in the same spot just 6 weeks ago: That’s a framed photo of Kylie and Travis that seems to have disappeared. And that was no temporary piece of decor, either. The photo appeared in the background of a number of selfies, stretching back for several months. And the fact that it’s mysteriously disappeared has fans thinking Kylie is trying to send a subtle message to the public. Also raising eyebrows is Kylie’s caption for the pic, which reads, “Ain’t a game, boy.” One of Kylie’s best friends, Yris Palmer, further stirred the pot by commenting, “Made for one player.” Now, Kylie and Travis breakup rumors seem to surface at the rate of about one per month. The couple’s most severe rough patch occurred when Travis was allegedly caught cheating while on tour earlier this year. But it certainly wasn’t the last time that these two appeared to be on the verge of calling it quits. So is this just another case of the rumor mill running amok, or is there really trouble in paradise? It may be quite some time before we know for sure. But one thing is for certain — an obsessive fan spoke for all of us when she commented, “Kylie what the hell is happening?!?!” View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Playboy Cover: Revealed, Very Busty!
90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? stars Nicole Nafziger and Azan Tefou have weathered wild rumors about each other and their relationship. This time, it’s a little more serious, because Nicole and Azan really will not be returning to next season of Happily Ever After? And fans are now confronting her about the rumor that she was fired from the show after laying hands on Azan. Rumors exist, especially if you’re a reality star — no matter how much or little of yourself you share with the world. Sometimes, these rumors take the form of widely circulated reports that ultimately don’t pan out and are debunked. Other times, it’s a wild claim passed around in a whisper. This is one of those times. 90 Day Fiance fans were actually claiming that Nicole and Azan are through with 90 Day Fiance … because of an incident when they finally met up. The claim is that Nicole became violent with Azan, and TLC pulled the plug on their 15 minutes of fame. Multiple people brought this up in the comments under a gorgeous selfie of Nicole’s we’re sorry to say. “Is it true that you and Azan won’t be on TLC anymore because you were physically violent with him?” one impertinent fan asked. “No,” Nicole replied, with more patience than most of us would have shown. She did clarify that part of that rumor, at least, is true — they’re off the show. “We aren’t going to be on another season,” she explains. “Because we chose not to go on again right now.” Obviously, it’s wise to not always take a reality star’s reply to this sort of question at face value. A domestic abuser is rarely going to fess up to it at all, especially on Instagram. And plenty of reality stars have announced that they’ve lost interest in stardom when really they’ve just been let go from the cast. But Nicole is dramatic enough to be asked back to the show. And we definitely believe that she wasn’t fired for abusing Azan. It’s kind of hard to get violent with your fiance when there’s a whole ocean between you. She hasn’t seen him in person in a while. Fans have worried about Nicole for years, given that she keeps clinging to a long-term relationship that appears from the outside to be in limbo. A lot of people think that it’s just thirst that keeps her waiting even as he drags his feet. (Case in point, look at the photo of Azan above; plenty of Americans would let him string them along for the chance at intimate video chats) Others think that she’s “desperate” for a man and willing to cling to the “illusion” of Azan rather than look for a husband closer to home. These rumors range from concerned to deeply unkind, but fan opinions have never swayed her. Nicole has explained that she’s not bothered by what outside perspectives assume about her relationship. Despite every setback, she remains committed to her relationship with Azan and to their eventual marriage and lives in the US. Honestly? No matter how the romance began, it seems clear that Nicole and Azan love each other. The question, however, is whether — after canceled vacations and unexplained trip delays — love is enough anymore. Should either of them be putting their lives on hold if it means pining across an ocean instead of being together? But Nicole is no more bothered by doubts than she is by wild claims about her “firing” from the show. Real talk? She’s been posting for months about how she feels kind of “over it” when it comes to reality television. She recently shared an update of her back to work at Starbucks — which means that she sounds serious about living her normal life. We just hope that she provides lots of updates about her life, her engagement, and especially cute little May! View Slideshow: Nicole Nafziger Quashes Azan Breakup Rumors: 4 Years and Going Strong!

The 75-year-old “If Only You Knew” singer shared in an exclusive chat with the New York Post at the Zang Toi show during New York Fashion Week that she is still interested in making a trip down the aisle.

I want a husband.” Granted, the godmother of soul doesn’t need a man in her corner, but she does desire one who is on the same page with her — not one looking to latch onto her due to her success. “I have a wonderful life,” she said. “My life is so good that a lot of men admire me and they try to look at me like that and I say, ‘Bye Felicia, Bye.’” SEE ALSO: Patti LaBelle Partners With Walmart For Frozen Soul Food Line When she does say “I do” again, Patti is looking forward to wearing a Zang Toi dress and having her man in a tuxedo by the designer, “whoever he is,” she said.

While she was previously engaged to Otis Williams of the Temptations, she was married to Armstead Edwards for more than 30 years before they called it quits and finalized their divorce in 2003. She said her marriage to Armstead, whom she credits as one of her best friends, didn’t work because they struggled to share space. “We realized that we couldn’t live together anymore. We liked each other from a distance,” she said on Oprah’s Master Class in 2016. “When you feel that, somebody gotta go.” “I never hated him. He never hated me,” she added. “We just couldn’t live together — not because of physical fights or anything. We never fought, thank God, in 32 years. We got along even when we didn’t get along! But then we realized that we had to leave each other.” [ione_media_gallery src=”https://rickeysmileymorningshow.com” id=”1642276″ overlay=”true”] This story was originally published on MadameNoire.com .
