You Won't Bee-lieve What Worked for Me
source You know how women older than you would always say "just you wait" referring to menopause? (Heck, perimenopause wasn't even discussed or considered real 20+ years ago!) "Wait for what?" you wondered. Eluding that it was so much more than hot flashes but never telling you what that was. Well I'm here to warn you up and comers what one of those things is...pit stank. That's a big one they don't warn you about with fluctuating hormones in your 30's-50's depending on when perimenopause hits you. They don't tell you how your tried and true deodorant will fail you within hours if you're lucky and will need to be reapplied.

Every weekend has been busy between kid's school activities and my own work commitments so no leaf peeping for us. I'm thinking about making a quick run up to the mountains tomorrow after his play practice, but it might be a little late in the season already.
