D.O for the B.O.


Let's discuss body odor for a quick minute. I don't know about you but when I embark on something new I get nervous sweat, the kind that is super smelly, soaks through your shirt so everyone stares at you kinda sweat. YUCK I know, but really, you know what I'm talking about.  If I am going to an event or new job I get super nervous and I get wet armpits! At first I think I don't smell because I love layering scents but maybe I do stink???
Well in my never ending quest to pay attention to what I put ON my body, I have been researching alternatives to deodorant. Most ideas involve recipes that include coconut oil. Okay, I love the coconut oil movement, but I'm just not "there" yet. I had to bring out the big guns this week. I  was at Trader Joe's and saw they had a deodorant, so I picked it up.  The key word here is "deodorant". My dumb dumb self didn't realize that this new deodorant did not have antiperspirant in it, the one ingredient I specifically needed!! Tuesday morning rolls around, I think  "yay" get to use my fancy new deodorant... WRONG!  Bad decision, bottom line is I smelled, so bad in fact that I kept wondering what I ate that included onions. Nice scent right?  At least the only positive thing that could come from this debacle is that BART smells like ass. Like a combo of pot, bad breathe, booze and what else you may ask? BO.  Soo, I took my sisters advice and wore my husbands deodorant and it worked! I don't smell like a man, or at least I don't think I do. And the best part is I don't smell like BO anymore. #winning

Now, I just have to remember to wash my coat, my stink was so bad it went through my clothes and now my jacket smells like a day old Onion that I left in my pocket. Maybe this isn't the time to try DIY  laundry detergent?! NONE!
