What are you allergic to? I thought I had no allergies, until one day when I decided to start really pinching pennies and bought a generic brand of deodorant. I usually get Ban, which can run $3 or $4 a whack. I thought, okay, there are plenty of cheaper alternatives, so I'll try one of those. I picked one up for just a little over a dollar and tried it the next day. Imagine the horror when I felt a burning, itching sensation under my arms the next day at work. On my first break (a few hours into the shift), I went into the restroom to have a look. The skin there had turned really red! I knew it had to be the deodorant. Good thing I had enough sense to save some of my Ban. I was able to use it until I could get to the store to buy more.
I didn't try new deodorant again until just recently, which makes it about ten years since the cheap deodorant incident. This time, I took the time to really think about it, and I decided on Lady Speed Stick (Passion Flower, if you must know). It's not the very cheap brand, but it's definitely much cheaper than Ban. I first tried it on a day off of work so that I could wash it off and switch if it gave me any trouble. But, to my delight, it didn't give me a rash or anything, and I've been using it for a few weeks now. So ladies, if you're looking for a nice, inexpensive alternative to the expensive deodorant, try Lady Speedstick. :)
Oh, but what about the Cherry Blossom Lady Speedstick I promised in the title of this blog? Well, I'm sitting here at my desk, and I noticed my Lady Speedstick sitting here by the lamp, next to a bottle of Cherry Blossom body lotion by Bath and Body Works (got it for Christmas last year). Seeing as how I generally have an overactive imagination, it came as no surprise to me that the thought of a new Lady Speedstick fragrance entered my brain. What about Cherry Blossom Lady Speedstick? Bath and Body Works and Mennen should get together and make some spanky new fragrances.
Don't get me wrong, they need to be sensible about it. I mean, can you imagine Twisted Peppermint deoderant? Or (ew) Brown Sugar? Still, it would be kinda cool for the two companies to put their heads together and come up with some ideas. Well, that's what I think, anyway.
