Somewhere in my LJ archives is a post I made about deoderant. For years, I used Secret Solid, and then FOR NO APPARENT REASON it just stopped working for me. After trying some other products, I hit on Adidas Solid. I loved the scent, and it worked. Then our relationship also went to hell because it began to make me itch. So did everything else I tried.
Jim suggested that I find a deoderant only, that it could be the anti-perspirant ingredients that were causing the problem. It’s not easy to find a deoderant-only product, especially in Houston’s climate.
Finally, in despair, I started using what must surely be the lowest-end product in the deoderant world: Tussy Cream. It works beautifully, without irritation.
Tim and I were shopping the other night, and there was no Tussy on the shelves. “Huh,” I said to him, and referring to my recent C2 trauma added, “Coke must be making it now.” Tim said I should make a post of what would happen in my world if Coke took over more of my preferred products. So here it is.
Are you listening, Coke?
I like my own homemade easy mac recipe, but otherwise, it’s stoufer’s all the way. I also use splenda or everything, which is WAY more exspensive. I buy dunkin donut coffee beans. I use ultra bright toothpaste for 79 cents. My deod/anti right now is, degree. It was 97 cents.
97 cents? i was wondering what that smell was… 🙂
😛
Frankly I like my cheese powdered. And Miracle whip … ew
And suddenly, so much else makes sense.
hahahahahhahahaha
I would be condiment-free before I’d eat Miracle Whip.
I have to switch deodorant/antiperspirant brands about every two years. They just stop working after awhile. I think my body adjusts to it or something and makes it stop working. There are many brands of deodorant-only products available at the “natural” stores, and they arent all that expensive. But be warned…they do nothing to prevent you from sweating, they just mask the B.O. if you do. All actual antiperspirant products contain aluminum, which is why there’s no such thing as an all-natural antiperspirant. I buy everything I can that is non-toxic and biodegradeable, etc…EXCEPT for antiperspirant. I’m all for the environment, but come on…you cant walk around with sweaty pits all day.
