The Body Shop has introduced a new deodorant range. It contains minerals to absorb wetness and keep you dry without the need for harsh chemicals. Right now, everything in the line is 50% off.
I picked up the roll on deodorant in the cool and zesty scent. The scent is fresh and herbal, and reminds me a little of the all natural bug spray I use. But since I like that scent, I didn't mind. I also liked that you can buy a refill for it when it runs out. Saves on packaging waste and cost. Nice.
However, the deodorant itself did not work for me. I sweat a lot, and definitely need something that controls wetness and odor. This deodorant did not deliver, so I ended up smelling like a stinky old man two hours into my day.
I was determined to give this product a fair chance, and wanted to try and wear it exclusively for about a week. I couldn't do it. I only lasted three days. I smelled bad. I had pit stains. Oh, and did I mention I smelled bad? I mean, BAD.
So it's back to the chemical stuff for me. Maybe if you hardly sweat at all, this will be a good option for you. But if you are more on the sweatier side like me, stay away. Far, far, away.

Sono Pics of our Baby Boy ...
Happy holiday Monday ladies!!! I must say, any holiday is a good day, but a holiday on a MONDAY is always great. Monday's suck as a rule when it comes to the work week so, make it a holiday? AND you're golden.
As promised I wanted to show you some of the latest pics of our little guy. I think he looks just like his daddy ... when he hides in a dark cloudy cave ...
{money shot. momma's sorry son. this will be the only time I feature your "goods" in a blog post ...}
{sweet tiny little legs ...}
{look at that precious face! can't see it? tilt your head to the right, his head is the round circle on the right, the two eyes and little nose are on the right and the little line of his mouth on the left. those 2 dots to the left of his head are his hands. it's like he's laying down horizontally. I'm in love.}
{one of the little arms that keeps punching his momma in the belly. it's right below the word "arm" ...}
{last but not least, the two darling little feet that currently are a fan of dancing a jig on my bladder from the hours of 12am to 5am ...}
And there you have it. The little boy that currently (and will from now on until forever) has my heart wrapped around his tiny little finger. I hope you've enjoyed them as much as I do!!!
Enjoy your last day of vacay ladies! I hope you all have wonderful, FAST 4 day weeks!!!

It's a ...
... terrible crying SHAME of a thing I've done to you, my FANTABULOUS readers. I mean seriously, build up this BIG anticipation this week to announce that our gender sono with the results of the sex of our baby is on Friday and then to LEAVE YOU HANGIN'? And I've got all kinds of excuses but I'll save those and get to the good stuff. And by good stuff, I mean the goods. The MOST important thing I'd like to report about Friday is that the baby looks healthy, is measuring a day ahead of schedule, and was all sorts of break dancin' in it's (like how I'm saying it? sneaky eh?) mommy's tummy (it must have gotten that from it's father) but the FUNNEST news of all is it's a ...
Still can't get it from that graphic?
Still no?
Well, I'm THRILLED to announce that ...
We're
Just like we thought! We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome this little guy in November! I'll post more with sono pics and updates about registering (I TOLD you I'd rush right out and git-r-done!) tomorrow. And I promise, it WILL be tomorrow.
I also want to take this time to thank any and all of you that serve, have husbands, brothers, sons, boyfriends, etc. that serve, or are close to anyone that serves in our country's armed forces. Thank you for your sacrifice, committment and dedication to our country and our freedom.
I hope you're all having a WONDERFULLY relaxing holiday weekend. Happy 4th of July!!!
