It’s Hot and I’m Stinky
Well, folks, it looks like this may be one of the hottest summers on record for Central Texas. As I continue to “green” my beauty routine, the heat causes my thoughts to turn to alternative deodorants and clean ways to stay cool and dry. Let’s face it, being stinky and sweaty is the pits. Sorry…I kind of had to throw that in there.
So far, I’ve tried Tom’s of Maine. It works for about 4 hours and after that it’s as if I never used it. Recently, I went to the new Lush store and purchased their Aromaco Solid Deodorant. The salesperson talked me into also purchasing some Coconut Deodorant Powder to use in conjunction with the Aromaco. My feelings are mixed. The solid deodorant smells really strongly of patchouli and it dries out between uses, so I have to keep a knife in the bathroom to shave it down so it will glide over the skin. But it works all day and the coconut stuff seems to extend its effectiveness. Here’s a video about it:
Mainly I’m just experimenting. What are you doing? How do you stay sweet-smelling and have you tried any alternative deodorants?
