It never ceases to amaze me the strange things we end up sharing with you all on this blog. Things like what this post is about to be allll about – deodorant. On a day to day basis, I really do try my best to make healthy choices when it comes to the food I’m putting in my body or the products I am using on my body. Especially when we live in a world full of processed foods and chemicals that most of us are hardly aware of. Thinking about these things too much honestly freaks me out. Especially processed foods. Think about it, we are buying and eating stuff that we really have no idea where it came from, what exactly is in it, and what affect that stuff will have on our bodies. Jeez louise.
One of the things that I use on a daily basis, but had yet to make any healthier changes on is my deodorant. I told you that we were about to get realll close. I’ll be honest with you, I sweat like crazy. A lovely gene that I can thank my father for. And when I sweat, I smell like a goat (literally). Its super feminine and definitely one of my best qualities/probably what my boyfriend loves the most about me. Don’t worry though, I have learned to adapt just like the goats probably do. I shower daily (at least) and use a clinical strength deodorant to try to keep anything unpleasant at bay. The bad news? That clinical deodorant of mine is legitimately not at all good for me and is in fact pretty bad for me. But, I’m just not confident that anything else could do the trick.
Molly swears by Sam’s Natural Deodorant, but the stuff just doesn’t mesh well with my body’s natural “scent”. I am bound and determined to find something that will work, so this past weekend I spend $25 on some natural deodorant by Kai. Kai is my new favorite scent that I have been wearing as a perfume so I figured that a deodorant version couldn’t hurt. I don’t know if my body needs to get used to the stuff or what, but I feel like I smell like death right now (yes, I showered this morning like I do every morning). It doesn’t help that I have a hypersensitive sense of smell and am so self-conscious about smelling bad. Here’s where I ask for a little advice. Does my body need to get used to this natural stuff? If I smell does it mean its not working? Does anyone know of a clinical strength natural deodorant? HELP!!
Maybe I should just throw in the towel, channel Matthew McConahay and embrace my inner hippie like this little chick above?
It should be pretty obvious from our “beauty dish” posts and the inclusion of so many beauty items in our round-ups that we are sisters that really like us some make-up. We try to go for a natural and even look – even if that means putting 5 products on our skin to get there (and that’s just as a base) – with color in the form of blush, shadow, and or lipstick/gloss. If that amount of make-up sounds scary to you, then you haven’t tried the products by MAKE UP FOR EVER. Founded by artist Dany Sanz, the products she’s developed over the years are up to par for professional artists and easily useable for novice public consumers (like me and Sally).
One of MAKE UP FOR EVER’s core values is education – for both professionals and everyday make-up lovers – a philosophy we love since we are always looking to improve the way we apply our products to achieve all-day wearability. Since it’s summer and all of us are going to be trying to look good in the summer heat, we are excited to host a Summer Beauty event at the MAKE UP FOR EVER boutique in Dallas! This Saturday, May 18th we will be at the MUFE store in Northpark Mall sporting some pretty smudge-proof summer make-up and sharing the tips and tricks we’ve learned from the professionals.
