Works For Me Wednesday: Deodorant for $6.00/Year

Are you sweaty? Do you notice a little odor no matter what deodorant you use? Do you have to switch brands frequently just to keep the smell down? Do the thoughts of using aluminum products scare you about breast cancer, but the thoughts of going deodorant & antiperspirant-free scare you even more? Do you get in-grown hairs in your pits? Are you a cheap-o like me and hate shelling out the cash for brand-name deodorants?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, what works for me is the solution for you! One of my friends turned me onto this: Walgreens sells one of those crystal rock deodorant sticks for just $5.99! (Well, their website says $6.49, but it was cheaper at my home store.) I had been looking at one with an online company that costs $16.00 + shipping! Rhett gets eczema real bad under his arms and we think we've linked it to his deodorant.

But I ended up getting this for me after my friend's comments. No, she didn't say I smelled or anything. She just had rave reviews of this product. And I have to agree, it works great! And I answer yes to all the above questions! This product has solved all of those problems! Plus, it says one crystal deodorant stick can last up to a year! Some of the reviewers say it lasts 3 to 5 years!

Do I still sweat? Yeah, but not like before and it's different somehow. Like cleaner, fresher and not as much. Like maybe before my body was having a chemical reaction to all the chemicals and crap in regular deodorant. I know that sounds weird. I thought so when my friend talked about it, but try it and you'll see.

Now, I will say if I'm out moving boxes in 85 degree weather or something . . . yeah, I'm gonna get a little stinky. Um . . . but that's not any different from when I used regular deodorant. In fact, I could guarantee on any given summer day even if I stayed inside that I would stink. With the stone, all I have to do is wet it and reapply and I'm fresh again!

Or at least I hope so! Wouldn't that be terrible if I really was smelly but I had just gotten used to the smell and didn't know it? LOL! Oh, well! So far, I haven't had any complaints!
