Armpit Talk.

When I was in Middle School, a teacher once told me that every time you run out of deodorant to switch brands when buying a new one. Apparently your body becomes used to the formula over time and stops fighting against it, resulting in sweaty pits. Yikes!

I have never found any scientific evidence to prove this little myth, but it scared me into buying a new brand every time. I tend to believe everything people tell me. Gullible? You could say that. But I don't know why anyone would lie about hygiene, so I abide by this little rule.

Well, I take that back. I used to abide by the little rule - until about 3 months ago. As you know, my Mom is always searching for fun new toiletry products for us when we come visit. She unknowingly ran into a little gem of a find that has forever changed the life of my armpits.

I hate the word armpits.

Introducing, Donna Karan Cashmere Mist.



This deodorant is hands down the best I have ever used. It keeps you unbelievably dry. So dry, in fact, it's hard to get my armpits wet in the shower! Not only does it keep you pit-stain free (yet another word I hate), it smells amazing. I have worn it without wearing perfume and Husby has commented on how good I smell.

Don't worry, I didn't tell him it was my ARMPITS. I thought that might kill the moment.

Now, let me warn you that for deodorant it is a bit pricey at $17. But it's worth every cent. It's so smooth and soft. It's a powdery roll on texture that goes on clear. Oh, it's amazing. You'll go around raising your arms and sniffing just for fun!

I'm pretty sure Levi loves it, too. He disappeared for a bit last night and then walked back into the Living Room toddling around with my deodorant in his hand. He had somehow lifted the lid off and he had the lid in one hand and the product in the other. He was millimeters away from sticking it in his mouth and when we grabbed it away from him, he died a thousand deaths and bursted into tears. He's serious about his Mommy's deodorant.

And so am I. I recently ran out of it and went against my old teachers advice and bought it again. I just couldn't bring myself to wear anything else after my pits had been spoiled by such luxury!

I am so happy to have found this deodorant.

Now, I have a couple questions for you concerning your deodorizing habits.

1.) Do you use spray? Roll on? Gell? Powder?
2.) When applying, do you switch hands or put it on with one hand?

I like a roll on powdery texture...but not the kind that leaves white clumps. Nasty.

I apply with one hand and it makes Husby laugh so much. When we first got married and he witnessed me doing it for the first time, he was in complete awe. He had never seen anyone contort their arm in a manner as I did, applying it on the same arm as I was holding it with. I have never even contemplated switching hands. I'm a one hander - and I wonder if anyone else out there does the same?!

I can even one hand it with spray. If you look up "talented" in the dictionary, my name pops up. Along with a picture of me deodorizing my armpits.
