What I'm Reading This Week #24
Sup y'all! Welcome to flop sweat season (and Friday!) I hope you had a good week and stayed cool. I had to wave the flag and pull all of the 'impatiens' I grew from seed as that is not the plant I apparently bought. I'm still going round with the people I got them from because dammit, I want a refund. So I had to go to the nursery and get regular impatiens to replace the ones I pulled. It's already nicer to see actual color instead of looking out everyday and wonder WTF they're going to turn into other than some rando plant with a thick, juicy stem. Not that the ones I got look a ton better as they too are leggy. I don't know what the deal is with that. I also grabbed some chives half off to plant with the zinnias to keep the aphids at bay. Who knows if it'll actually work or not, we'll see. Now let's see: 9 Foot Exercises to Try at Home (I've been doing these over the last week and oochie owie for my weak azz feet...
Wish I had an answer but I did notice that I can't seem to get good deodorant coverage anymore either. I can lather up the pits with soap in the shower and think there's no way they will stink and yet it surprises me how much deodorant I still need to put on to get an acceptable level of protection.
ReplyDeleteI have a few that I use, but they have to be unscented. Anything scented smells terrible on me. Must be how my sweat glands react to the scented stuff. For regular stick, nothing beats Unscented Arrid XX Extra Dry for me. For spray I used Unscented Dove and that does a pretty good job. I do have Lume actually and I agree that even the unscented does have a strong smell to it. However, I notice the smell goes away once it's dried on my skin so then I don't smell anything, and I like that a lot. The "stick" is not a solid like Arrid, and is almost like a lotion so you have to work it in for a bit. I've used the tube Lume on the bottom of my feet and that's helped a lot with foot odor issues since I'm in socks and shoes all day. The order I wrote them above is my picks for #1, 2, and 3.
