counterintuitive

i stink.  

i mean, i can work up some serious funk, especially in the summer.  especially at the beach or the gym in the summer.  

i apply a deodorant/antiperspirant in the morning, and then a few times during the day but i can reek right through it.  

my husband takes pictures of me worrying about this stuff.

after repeated suggestions, promises, and threats, i took some advice.  

i stopped using deodorant/antiperspirant.  in july.  i said i'd give it three weeks.

at first, i sweated ranky wet sweat all over myself and my clothes.  i fouled the workout room at the gym.  i fear i stained some things.  

during this time i did use "Naturally Fresh Deodorant - Crystal Spray Mist Body Deodorant (Hypoallergenic, Fragrance Free, Paraben/PG Free, No Aluminum Chlorohydrate)".  it's made of mineral salts.  once i got gooey, i powdered my pits.  repeatedly.  i considered ordering a case of baby powder.

it's been about five weeks and not only do i not sweat profusely, i don't use powder, and i hardly even stink.

it's so weird.
