Switched antibacterial soaps over the weekend and it's made a world of difference with my rashy pits.
I am also testing out a new deodorant, it's a coconut oil based one that's mint scented--it's pretty and seems to be hanging in there so far--I applied at 6 am and don't feel the need to reapply yet.

I just had an IUD put in. I now need do do some sewing but the cramping is worse than I anticipated so I am laying on my couch.
Boyfriend and I spent $400 at IKEA yesterday on what was mostly impulse purchases. They were things we needed for a long time but we kept putting off spending the money, yesterday I was like, my sewing room had to get better storage. I am going insane. Then we went to IKEA.
Mel, sounds like a good reason to spend the rest of the day watching TV on the couch!
The first time I got an IUD inserted I didn't think it would be a huge deal, so I stupidly agreed to give a lecture about 2 hours after insertion. NEVER AGAIN! I had to end the class early because of cramps.

UGH! I'd spend the day on the couch too!
I've been thinking about an IUD, but haven't pulled the plug yet because I know it will make H furious. (He's still trying to convince me that we should have another kid. Umm.. No thanks.)
I got DS's 4 year pictures from my mom the other day. I can't believe the change from last year to this year! It kind of makes me sad. He looks like such a little man!
Day on the couch for the win! I am watching The Heathers.
cuddly evil- You'll have to update me on that deoderant. I'm glad your skin feels better.
Will do! I'm glad too, it was getting pretty uncomfortable there. I am still going to try a different soap that's got essential oils in it and see if it will help the rashiness too because even with the "milder" soap I am still getting some stinging.

I just got a wedding dress commission from an old family friend. I've never done a wedding dress before. I am peeing my pants a little bit, also, the wedding is in 6 weeks.

Muddled, I've got 53 minutes of work left and I still am stink free with no urge to reapply. I'll update tomorrow as I am running errands and working out tonight so we'll see if it hangs in there.
I've found sources for everything but the coconut oil for the deodorant recipe (going to an old, tried/true source for the essential oils--she produces high quality ones for pretty affordable prices, and bob's red mill makes the arrowroot, cornstarch, and baking soda (aluminum free!)that go into it too.

I ran errands today and am currently being girly AND a teenage boy - giving myself a spa mani/pedi at home, dyeing my hair later (auburn again...hopefully), and watching Apatow movies like 40-year-old virgin.

What are you using? SOmething from Etsy?
Coconut oil is available at TJs.
I was using something from etsy, it worked really well but left oily stains on my shirts. Right now I am using this So far the stuff is awesome, I didn't start to smell pitty until about 10pm last night
The recipe recommends coconut oil not intended for cooking (?) so I think I have to hit whole foods or a health food store.
