Oh no she di'int!: BO {Follow-up}

Here it is!!!  It's what you've all been waiting for!  The update on my non-deodorant deodorant stick.  Prepare yourselves 'cause this just might rock your world (or at least your pits).

OK, are you ready?

IT WORKS!!!!  HALLELUJAH, it freaking works!  The Crystal Body Deodorant Stick works like a charm!

Throw yo hands in the air like you just don't care!  Don't mind if I do!

I tried it last Saturday for the first time.  It's a little different than applying normal deodorant or antiperspirant.  You actually wet the stone with a little water and rub under your pits.  Now, I will say that I did sweat my ass off of on Saturday.  I believe the heat index in Splendora, TX was around 108.  Yes, it gets that hot here!  By the end of the day, I did have a very slight odor, but I practically had to bury my nose in my armpit in order to smell it.  And, like my mom said, if you have to try that hard to smell it then you really don't stink.  So true!

Mom also said it works better the more you use it.  I've been using it since Saturday and can honestly say I don't stink.  It's a miracle, right?!  I mean, imagine not having to use all those chemicals EVERY.  SINGLE.  DAY.  You know ladies, the proverbial 'they' say that the chemicals in deodorants and antiperspirants have been linked to breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

SAVE THE TATAS [and the dome]!  GO CRYSTAL CLEAN!  {ladies, let's be honest here - we do use both to our advantage :)}

In case you can't tell, I'm pretty pumped about this.  I hope you will give it a try and let me know what you think!  You can buy it at Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart and various other retailers.

Bye-bye BO!

Oh no she di'int! : BO

Pull up your granny panties ladies, ‘cause it’s about to get real up in hurrr!

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve noticed that my pits are starting to smell a little funktified.  Seriously, it doesn’t matter if I’m sitting at my desk at work, grocery shopping or doing laundry around the house I smell it!  And what’s crazy is it’s worse when I wear sleeveless tops!  Random.

I think I’ve probably tried just about every deodorant known to mankind.  I’ve tried men’s, women’s, unisex, aerosol, solids, invisible solids, invisible gel sticks, gel and I’ve even tried Old Spice body wash and nothing really works!

Side note:  Did you know that body odor in your arm pits and feet is caused by bacteria activity breaking down proteins into acids?  Also, perspiration is actually odorless.  It’s the bacteria that causes the foul smell.  Can I get a collective EWW!!?

I had resigned myself to the fact that I would have to carry around a stick of deodorant with me everywhere I went.  

And there’s nothing worse than being self-conscious about BO.

So, a few days ago my mom told me about this all natural deodorant that she was using and that it was absolutely amazing!  It has no harmful chemicals or metals, no perfumes and no aluminum or chlorohydrate.  And the great part is it actually works for her! (I’m convinced BO is hereditary and worsens with age.)

Here comes the best part...  She bought me one and I received it in the mail today!  Just in time for my oldest daughter’s all day softball tournament tomorrow.  I’m about to put this bad boy to the test in a serious way!

It’s called Crystal Body Deodorant Stick.  There are several varieties of the deodorant.  My mom prefers the stone stick, so that’s what she bought me.  

Could it be possible that natural mineral salts could actually fix my BO dilemma?  We shall see!
