ATTENTION: http://www.livejournal.com/~username/friends?skip=### only goes as far back as 975. Guess how I've been spending my time at work today? :P

Also: I am quite happy about the space heater under my desk here. Yummy for cold mornings.

I have also begun to wean myself off of deoderant, on the recommendation of several hippie friends. For a week I noticed my own smelliness more than usual (the week BEFORE the hot weather, actually) but now my body is getting used to it. Hardly smelling at all. Whee!

Time to file things. Wheebop.

If you don't want to use deoderant because of chemical issues then there are other methods of not being stinky. Try fresh ginger root. Take a small bit of it, put it in cheesecloth and squeeze it. Use the juice and run it under your arms. Works pretty well unless it's blazing hot outside.

It's not necessarily chemical issues, but I'd be interested in the chemical process that makes ginger root work. Does it counteract the smell only, or is it a sweat-gland-interaction thing?

It just kills the smell. It's acidic so it kills the bacteria that's causing the smell. The problem is that it doesn't last for a real long time. Just a couple of hours.

Well, that's neat. I'll check it out.

Related to what he said, I think that Burt's Bees herbal deo is awesome. It doesn't have the aluminumwhateverchemical in it that is harmful, and it's the only kind for me that actually works. It's also not an anti-perspirant, so it still lets you sweat and get your toxins out.

Eek! It's also $8 a bottle from their website (http://www.burtsbees.com), and one of the reasons I cut deoderant out was so I could save money... yes, a small bit of money, but still money!

Otherwise I'd think it's awesome.
