Several weeks ago I realized that my deodorant was giving me a rash, so I switched brands. You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find unscented deodorant at regular stores (scents=skin irritants=bad idea for me) but I finally found one labeled in two places as unscented. In the store it smelled like nothing, but I had just finished sniffing Axe deodorants to help a male friend decide which one would please the ladies most, so my nose must have been overwhelmed.
It took me a few days after arriving home to realize something was up. A scent unlike sweat wafted from my underarms. I flipped the deodorant stick over and read the ingredients: right there at the end was listed fragrance. Fragrance? Are you kidding me?
So far, no rash, but I’ve learned not to trust Secret brand product labels.
Tattoos I drew during a lazy evening with a friend.
Entertaining dialogue between one of my roommates and the cleaning check supervisor person.
What I found when I opened my planner the other day. I was correct in anticipating that I would ignore my instructions to “See Anthro Syllabus. Important!” unless something was due.
Tonight I am going to see the play “Absent Friends” with my awesome friend David.
Then it will be weekend!
I'm very sensitive to most deodorants. My favorite for many years (because it doesn't give me a rash) is Almay Hypoallergenic. It's out there, but not always easy to find. Pharmacies are usually a better bet than grocery stores because they often have a better selection.
