There are special privileges afforded to us, just because we’re girls.

Eating cereal or toast for dinner and nothing else.
Being indecisive on things, then making up our minds, only to change them again
Getting weepy as soon as the sad music starts in movies
Squealing in delight when we see the perfect shoes or purse
Spending a long time thinking about which nail colour is the perfect fit at the nail bar
Being able to blame pretty much everything on hormones and PMS

But most of all, I love being a girl because…

That lovely sisterhood bond we have with our bestest girl friends. The sweet and supportive friendships where you get to just be yourself, and you know you can count on your girls whether it’s to share a laugh or a tear.

Last month I made a big effort to use more natural products, including natural deodorant and organic moisturizers.

In the beginning it was fine, and I didn’t notice any difference from my un-organic products. Then, about two weeks later I noticed that I was a bit smelly and was sweating more than I was used to. I thought it was because I was stressed at work and my hormones (smell) were a bit different. But, three weeks in, I knew there was a problem.

Natural deodorant does not work for me. This is the second time I’ve tried to use it, and both times within three weeks of regular use I got really smelly and all my clothes had a lingering sweat scent.

So for now, I’m back to regular deodorant. No more lichen and moss deo for me!
