Random Thoughts

Yesterday I went to buy more deodorant, and, just like the last few times I've gone shopping for this stuff, the store didn't have exactly what I wanted (Secret Soft Solid Powder Fresh, in case you were dying to know). There are an astounding number of deodorant choices at Wal-Mart, but if you want my favorite, you're out of luck. I was able to find the "soft solid" type, but only in the new "plus Olay" version that supposedly moisturizes as it de-stinkifies.

Now, there are a lot of parts of my body that could use a little extra moisture. Heels? Check. Elbows? Check. Face? Check. Underarms? Not so much. Maybe it's because I don't shave as often as I should, but underarm dryness has never been a problem for me. It makes me wonder - how decadent of a society do we live in that not only do we want to erase all trace of our natural body odor, we also want to have flawless skin in a location that 90% of people don't see anyway? And is it really that hard to use regular moisturizer in your pits? Geez, some people need to get a life.

All ranting aside, I ended up buying the "with Olay" version because it was the closest to what I wanted. So as far as their sales figures are concerned, I am indeed one of those people who should get a life.
