A little while back my sister-in-law wrote a blog Deo for my BO. She gives a recipe for homemade deodorant. I left a comment for her about how I don't wear deodorant because my armpits don't stink. And to be honest, they never have. I hardly wore deodorant through high school. When I did it was mainly because everyone else was and it was the "thing to do". Totally unnecessary for me. In fact, deodorant made my armpits itch and I would always get sick of the powerful smells I bought (after all, if you are going to wear deodorant you may as well make it noticeable).
My armpits stunk today for the first time ever! It was, at least, the first time I noticed it. Definitely not cool. I had to borrow Erik's deodorant because I couldn't stop smelling them once I noticed they smelled bad. Is that normal? I honestly sat there with my arms in the air alternating pits for a while because I was so shocked. Let me tell you, they did not smell pretty.
So I have concluded that I need to try out my SIL's home-made deodorant to have on hand just in case. You never know when the stench will strike.
PS. Shawna, how long does this stuff stay good for?

Like I said last night, you never cease to amaze me with the things you share haha. I love it. Oh and last night someone's "things", after you left, was "those girls over there are talking about strange things". It was pre-written from when you were still there yip-yappin about who knows what. Enjoy the deo.
A long, long time. Coconut oil is reputed to have a 7-year shelf life, so you'll use it up before it could ever go bad.
Yip-yap! I can't believe you had stinky pits for the first time in your life at the age of . . . oh dear . . . 22? You're 22, right? No, wait. 23? I can't remember!
The ultra-solution for stinky pits is a light dusting of baking soda. That'll quell the stench every time. I keep both my deo and a container of baking soda on hand at all times. Because I STINK!
Much love.
