St George Weekend/Marathon

We had a great little jaunt down to St George this past weekend to go support Shaun running the St George marathon.  First of all...if you ever want to go down to St George...rental houses are the way to go! We got the sweetest house for as much as a hotel room. Pedro and Carol came down with us and shared the house. This house had the coziest bed I've ever slept in! It is for sure in the top 1 in regards to the comfiest bed ever! Not to mention the pillows! Oh heavenly! I stripped down the pillow cases to even check out the brand but stupidly forgot to write down the brand. Oh well...

Anyhow... the kids were in immediate heaven when we pulled up. There was a killer tramp and playground in the back yard. It made it such a great weekend for the kiddos to play and not get "bored" like they would be in a hotel room.

We went to packet pickup...and to be honest...I was SO sad that I wasn't running. I still feel that way actually. I wish I would have registered! I am the WORST at having race envy. I've just learned that I better register and do it so I don't feel jealous of those running. The expo was pretty awesome...got myself a great running racer back tank...Black of course! I really need to branch out.

The next morning the boys headed out super early... this is the point where I have NO race envy:) Carol and I headed to the finish line, while the kids were already asking for snow cones at 9:30 in the morning. We got a pretty good seat right at the finish line in the bleachers which I was happy for since I was worried about Carol, she wasn't feeling very good with some morning sickness and nausea. It started getting HOT fast! And man oh man was it crowded. We watched some of the top runners come through...they make it look so easy! Shaun said he would be coming through at about 3:30...which I knew meant probably around 3:15 so we were ready and waiting. Then at 3:05...there he is! He always underestimates is races by a LONG shot and then kills it! I was so impressed and proud of him. I mean...3:05!! That is so freaking fast...about a 7 minute mile average. I can't even imagine being in the 3's let alone being so close to the 2's. Jealous!

I ran over to the exit of the athlete's corral thingy and gave him some great CONGRATS!!! He was drenched in sweat... it was really hot by this time. It was time for some snow cones! My kiddos deserved it...they were being so good and it was a dang heat wave.

Now time for Pedro...while we waited for him we watched some great finishes...and some very scary finishes. It was amazing to me how people would get 30 feet from the finish line and their legs would give out to the point they would fall right to the ground. Then they would try to get up...and nothing! They litterally couldnt get up...their legs were just not working. It is a true testament to the power of the mind. As soon as they would see the finishline and were almost there...they were DONE! Their mind carried them through until the finishline...or 30 feet before or after the finishline.
One girl in particular was hard to watch...she fell and couldnt get up. She was embarrassed and people were just yelling for her...saying "you can do it"! She just couldn't get up. Finally the national guard volunteers came running out and helped her up. Once they got her up...she still tried to use her legs and they were just dragging. That ended up being a pretty typical situation as the day went on.
We saw lots of our friends come through and got to cheer them on. Pedro came through at 4:35...which was fantastic for his first marathon! Nice job Pedro!
We got some more snow cones...and then headed home to Sandhollow. Oh what a beautiful lake! It is officially one of my favorite lakes...no I have never been to lake Powell:)

Shaun talked me into doing a little open water swim accross to the big island thing...it was SO refreshing and nice! The water was crystal clear and beautiful. My kids had a GREAT time exploring and rowing around our little raft. It was hillarious to watch them try to figure out how to manuver it around.
I dont have a life jacket for Kai so he had to use one of the girls pink barbie jacket. While Zoe was rowing him around, he said "Dont go on the other side of the rock, I don't want the teenagers over there to see me in this pink life jacket". HAHAHA! He was totally ok with us seeing him in the pink lifejacket...but by damn those teenagers better not see him!

All in all it was a great weekend of relaxing...watchin movies...eating good food...playing...and just enjoying life with the kids:)
We drove home to Shaun's house and was met with a hot yummy dinner from Ryan and Mercedes! What a treat! Now time to get my butt in race mode for my San Fran marathon in two weeks! SO excited and have goals in mind!

Amy...the Master Aesthetician!

So...for many of my past posts I have gone on and on about being in school and how long it took me. Well the day finally arrived in April...and I graduated! I could barely believe it myself. I was able to complete 100% of all of my state boards and tests prior to completing my hours so that when I walked out that door...I was done! I passed my boards which seriously I had my doubts. They were more nerve racking than I had thought. I am SO relieved to be done and licensed. This is something that I have had on my "bucket list" for many years and to actually accomplish it...you have not idea how great it feels.


So yes...I am finally a Master Aesthetician! Now...to find a job!

Kaiizen Mexico Orphanage Trip

I was so lucky to be able to go with a group... Kaiizen... to Mexico to visit an orphanage and play with the kids. This was an adventure for sure...first off never have been to Mexico except for a little 3 day cruise that was as Mexican as TacoBell.
We caravaned down...stopping outside of Vegas at Whiskey Pete's for a night to break up the 12 hour drive. Next morning we headed out for Ensanada Mexico. Now... before I begin...every person that I told about this trip prior to leaving made sure I knew that there was a chance that I could get beheaded by the drug cartel and they were targeting Americans. Just GREAT! I was pretty uptight about it...and ready to kick some drug lord ass if I got messed with. HAHA..ya right!

Anyway, I digress...

So we headed to the border and was told by Josh ...whom I will refer to as Shosh or Yosh depending on which Orphan was saying his name...to stay right behind the white van they were driving when they got pulled over at the border and then to just follow them into the city. And if we took a wrong turn it would take us to downtown TJ. Shaun was driving...and just as suspected...the van we were following got signalled to pull over to be inspected...Shaun didn't pull right behind them, but rather chose to just keep going and find our way on our own. I PANICKED!!! As soon as we crossed that border...I couldn't understand one traffic sign or street sign...Spanish everywhere...understandably of course, after all we now were in Mexico. I was very surprised at the major difference from one side of that fence to the other. Such poverty, filthy, trash everywhere, shacks instead of houses. It was pretty drastic so quickly. Shaun started asking me if I remembered which way we were told to go...I freaked out! Saying...we were told to stay behind the white van!! You're on your own now! He just laughed...I realized he was saying that to strike even more panic in me...luckily he knew which was we were supposed to go....after he acted like we were lost a few times more...just to see me have a breakdown.

We pulled into an Office Depot...yes..and Office Depot that was next to a Walmart...and Old Navy. Huh...who knew:) We waited for the van to meet up with us after they made it through the border...right then I realized that I had not gotten any cash. I was thinking that you could just find an ATM and pull come cash out...not quite that easy. The line to the ATM was HUGE...so we decided to just get it later. Which I will say I never was able to get to an ATM for then entire trip as there are pretty much NO ATMs in Mexico! No wonder the line was so long!

As we were waiting in the parking lot I was very jumpy and not sure what to expect thinking back to what everyone said about American getting kidnapped and beheaded...I saw Shaun look toward my window so I turned and a man holding a fistful of cell phone chargers was standing right at my window...I jumped and yelped a little bit. I think I scared the poor guy more than he scared me...he quickly walked away. Damn jumpy gringa!!

Another interesting thing was that as soon as we crossed that border...Shaun turned Mexican! Saying everything with a cool little Mexican accent and busting out his Spanish skills in which I'd never heard before to that extent. Very handy to say the least!

So we headed to drop our stuff off at the place we were staying...Shaun's time share. We pulled in to this beautiful resort, dropped our crap off and followed the rest of the crew to Yosh's (Josh) beach house. We pulled down this long very steep dirt road and headed to the house. It was pretty much right on the edge of the beach...very cool location!

The house was very humble and had no showering facilities...and no electricity. Guilt IMMEDIATELY set in considering our place was SO nice and accommodating compared to where all 11 of the other people were staying. We decided right away that we had extra room and needed to share. We got to have Rusty and Laura come to our place... SO happy that they did. They were so fun and it was so great to get to know them better. Laura is the cook for Telos and the cook for the Kaiizen trip...so she deserved some time at a nice time share...she'd payed her dues for sure!

Off to the orphanage!

We headed to the orphanage...when we pulled in the kids came running smiling yelling! They were so excited to see their amigos from America. They were amazing little kiddos! Just handing out hugs and loves left and right. A few of them came up to me and shook my hand and introduced themselves. They had a basketball court and play area that was pretty run down. Yosh took us on a tour...it was such a humble place. He showed us where the sewage would run from the toilets in the open air down to the septic tank. They have since had that covered up, but you still can not flush any toilet paper or it will back up the septic tank. It was a pretty eye opening experiencing to see how these little angels lived.

We had dinner at the orphanage that night which was a pretty yummy potato concoction, beans, and tortillas. We sat with the kids and I made a feeble attempt to talk to them and ask their names in the limited Spanish I knew. We then played the candy bar game...which I guess is pretty universal because these kids knew how to play it right away.

I started noticing some of the kids in particular. Silvia...an angel of a girl! She had a little limp which made it more difficult for her to walk. She had the best smile! I was so drawn to her as well as little Miriam and Johanna. The surprising thing was how I would ask how old they were and was shocked to find they were easily a couple of years older than how they looked. This little Johanna was 7! And she easily looked 4 or 5.

Shaun had decided before to put together a race for the kids. He brought extra bib numbers, and finishers medals. The orphanage directors were concerned about the kids running on on the road...which was dirt and had maybe 1 or 2 cars coming down in every hour:) So it took us a long long walk with all the kids to find the best route...we had to cross little streams that once were roads. Well actually thinking about it...they are still roads. I did see a few cars go through it. Finally we came to a field that we decided to just have them run laps. We got everyone's number pinned on them and they LOVED that. They looked so official!

We had the kids go in three different divisions. Older boys, Older girls, and then the little kids. It was AWESOME! Those boys took it so seriously...one boy in particular had his eye on first place and ran his heart out until he won the race! He wore that medal around along with his loot for first place forever. It was awesome to see the kids cheer each other on as they came across the finish line. They would chant each others names as they got closer to the finish line and get the whole crowd yelling...SIL-VI-A...SIL-VI-A...over and over again. Silvia was the little darling that had a hard time walking let alone running. She came across the finish line holding hands with one of her friends helping her along. She was ALL smiles!

Little Axel who was the littlest of all made it across the finish line holding hands as well...he LOVED it....especially his medal.









We also took them to the movie one of the nights. It was a big deal for the kids so they all got dressed up in their cutest clothes with their hair combed and all cleaned up.


We had a couple of the older boys ride with us...they were typical 15 year old boys...chatty and goofy as can be. We decided to take them to Clash of the Titans... we got them a CRAP LOAD of pop corn, drinks, candy, nachos, and whatever was in the concession stand pretty much. And may I say...the popcorn...was AWESOME! They had carmel popcorn at the movies! We gringos are getting jipped! So I was thinking the movie would be in English with Spanish subtitles...ya not so much. It was pure Spanish...not English subtitles. I sat next to Johanna and Miriam. They were puttin' down that popcorn like it was nothing. They were so sweet to keep offering me some. I didn't take any...but every few minutes they would tap on my arm and offer me more. Finally to make them feel better I dug in. YUMMY! There was a part in the movie that the dad, mom, and sister die in the water...I looked over and Johanna had huge crocodile tears in her eyes...we call em the blinkers in my house. She had a major case of the blinkers. She was trying to hide the fact that she was crying. It was sad...she just looked so heartbroken over it. Gave her a little squeeze and she was ok:) So as I'm watching this movie...since it was in Spanish I tried to figure out what it was all about. I had created a story line in my head and thought I was pretty right on...until a few weeks later I took my kids to see it and it was like seeing a whole new movie! It wasn't even CLOSE to the movie that I had thought I had seen. The story was totally different than what I thought was going on. Two movies in one is what I'd like to think:)

Along the trip...my keys got locked in the car...which let me tell you, these Mexicans do NOT know how to break into a car. They jacked the CRAP out of my car trying to get it open for us. They were SO nice and tried so hard...but finally we just called a lock smith and had him open it for us. He opened it and we went on our way to the orphanage...YAY! When we went to get back into the car at the orphanage, my key wouldn't unlock the car manually and my keyless remote stopped working a long time ago. We tried and tried and TRIED to get into the car with my key...no luck. So...the great guys at the orphanage called another local lock smith. This guy came rolling up on a motorcycle with a slicked back ponytail and seriously looked like a major bad ass. Actually... a major SCARY bad ass! I WISH I had a picture of this guy...it was awesome! He opened the car in a jiffy and said that the earlier guy was an idiot and pretty much disconnected the cable inside the door. So we couldn't lock the car for the rest of the trip...in MEXICO! Luckily it all worked out and no problems from there on out. We just had to remember...DON'T LOCK THE DOOR!

We had a few great days at the time share as well....went on a run along the beach...which I don't know why but I thought I was going to die. There was the CUTEST little sea lion on the beach. It was a baby with the cutest little baby face. I tried to get it back into the ocean but it just looked confused. I was concerned cuz it was going the wrong way, I said...SHAUN! Pick it up and put it back in the ocean! He just looked at me like...You're crazy woman! He encouraged me to leave it alone and keep running. FINE! Along the way...I had some of that Mexican food hit me like a ton of brick and I had to GO! I nearly had Charlotte's Sex and the city moment...So i yell to Shaun ahead of me...I've gotta go!!! We found a bathroom on the beach and as I tried to go in, two little Abuelas sitting by the door said, Bano? I said...SI! They said...cinco pesos. HUH!!!!??? I had to pay these crazy ladies to take a poop? I was so mad...told Shaun the news...he negotiated with the ladies in Spanish letting them know that we didn't have any money with us and I HAD to go. She let me go...and let me say, it was the NICEST beach bathroom I have ever seen. No wonder they charged to use their facilities. They were dang nice and worth every peso...if I had paid:)

Thank you little old Abuelas! You saved me from a seriously horrible experience!

While on that subject...the food...OH MY GOSH! The food was pure heaven. Not to mention the coke. They take their coke so seriously there and I just LOVE it! Every time you ask for a coke...they ask you if you want it in the can, bottle, or plastic bottle. Three options? Now that is just cool!!!! Of course, you MUST choose the bottle and it is simply delicious. No high fructose corn syrup...but delicious sugar cane baby. YummY!

The whole thing was an incredible experience...The kids were more amazing then I could have ever thought. They lived so simply but seemed pretty happy for what they had. It makes me sad for what these kids don't have in their lives though...a mom and a dad. A parent to teach them and love them and just take care of them. I wished so bad that I could do more...Josh told us that to adopt a child from down there is near to impossible because of the corruption. So sad! But being there made me feel so sad to be away from my kiddos. I wished that they could be there with me to meet these kids and be friends and serve. I am so lucky to have my kids...and for the first time I realized how lucky my kids are to have me. I'm not a perfect parent, but I sure love them and try to teach them and will be by them forever no matter what.

I'm looking forward to taking a trip back to see my new amigos some time in the near future!

Excited for the NEW YEAR!!

I don't know about you...but I am SO excited for the new year. 2009 was a tough one...and I'm very excited to move on from this past year.

Here are the top 10 reasons I am excited for the New Year...

10. Lucy, my little lover, FINALLY gets to start Kindergarten! This would be on the top of the list...but its Kindergarten...still a huge pain in the butt with the whole half day business. Next year...1st grade will make the top of the list for sure!

9. Kaibo is going to start either running, biking, swimming, rugby, soccer, baseball...SOMETHING! I am bound and determined to get that boy out and interested in something this year. Maybe get him to do a sprint tri!

8. Zoe will be hopefully getting her back tuck this year. That girl is stronger than she knows what to do with. She is so athletic...maybe get her doing a tri this year too!

7. I get to finally start my business/club/race idea! I have a website...but nothing built yet. I will have more time to get it going past the new year and am SO excited! More to come on this later!

6. Going to train and do an ULTRA relay this year! This is going to be tough...but DANGIT I want to do it!

5. I'm going to try to ski again this year. Its been a few years...but no time like the present.

4. I get to go to school full time starting the new year... Which means....

3. I will be graduating and will be a Master Esthetician in 2010!

2. I will finally be working in either a medical spa or hopefully for a plastic surgeon this year and can start my new career.

1. Doing my FIRST HALF IRONMAN!!!

Wait...is that really going to be the highlight of my 2010? Ok...so they may not be in order. Basically I'm really excited to get moving on with my life...wrap things up at my old job...get going to school full time...graduate...start working...play with my kids like crazy...and TRAIN like a mutha!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's Finally Over!

Christmas is OVER! Sorry to sound like a scrooge...but I am so glad to get the year moving on for a few reasons. I didn't get to have my kids with me this year during Christmas. I got to have them for 5 hours on Christmas eve and had to have them promptly back to their dads by 7 for a "family" party they had to get to. Interesting thing was that come to find out...it was some of MY "family". Huh...weird! Another story for another day:)

I really tried to maintain the attitude of "its just another day" so that I wouldn't get sad or feel sorry for myself not being with the kids. It was tough waking up on Christmas morning and not opening presents with them or doing the whole Santa Claus thing the night before...setting out milk cookies...and then seeing how crazily excited they were for what Santa brought them. That makes me sad that I missed that...but know that they had a great Christmas all the same. So at the end of the day it isn't about what I missed as much as if the kids still had a great day and just got to be kids.

I had a great day regardless. SO much yummy food at two different stops. Oh gosh...I love food! We also got to see the Hess family Christmas video which was hilarious as usual...even my best best friend Neil made an appearance!

The days to follow were so relaxing and nice I didn't want them to end! I went on a fantastic trail run with Shaun and Ziggy. It was beautiful, sunny, snowy, and bright! Ziggy was treating me like I was a sheep, herding me right up the mountain. She was RIGHT on my heels and wouldn't pass me. I loved the company since Shaun is much too fast and just leaves ya in the dust...always circles back around of course to make sure you're alive...but pretty much super fast.

Now back to life...work...school...and my most favorite cutest kiddos!

Family Progressive Dinner

Every year my family does a Christmas progressive dinner. We start at one house with appetizers, have a little program or talent by that family and then move to the next house for soup...salad...you get the picture. We had our annual progressive dinner last night and it was a hit! It was so fun to see everyone's festive houses all decorated...although when it comes to me and my sisters Christmas trees...when you've seen one, you've seen em all (Taipan decor)!

We had SO much food that by the time we got to the main course...no one was eating. We had a few games along the way...one that resulted in a 15 way tie. It was a pretty easy game apparently:) So my crazy sister decided that there was only one way to determine the winner....DANCE OFF! Which was to be judged by my 87 year old hip grandma. We also had our special guest Neil (33 year old cute as a bear autistic friend) who would be competing. For his solo, he did a few pelvic thrusts right at my grandma...oh it was fancy! She was laughing so hard she was crying. My dad pulled off a few awesome moves as well. I'm talking flash dance/footloose style! After a long battle of dancing to the death... the winner was Heather and Neil as a team. They won a pair of awesome holiday socks...which they determined they would just take turns wearing since Neil does reside in Heathers basement.

At my house for our talent, Zoe and Lucy did a few magnificent tumbling passes. Zoe showed off her roundoff back handspring that she will be doing at her performance tonight. Kai had a temporary moment of Christmas Kai (when Kai turns into a completely different kid...probably due to the overstimulation of sugar and fun during the holidays.). But all in all...it was fantastic! Can't wait for next year!

Ugly Sweaters Galore!

We had a first annual Ugly Sweater Party this past Saturday night. Oh it was a good one! We had lots of our friends come over to Shaun's..the requirement was to wear an ugly Christmas sweater. My mom has a plethera of holiday sweaters...none really were that ugly though...just more festive than anything. Cody and Nicholle had some pretty dang good ones...Cody's had a sweater that sported a pair of pom poms that tied at the neck...oh gosh that was good! Nicholle even had a tole painted wood necklace to top off her holiday outfit. And Shaun was the official "mistletoe tester". Well at least that's what his shirt said. We had SO much yummy holiday food...and so many laughs that night. So glad I have such good friends!

I actually got in a lottery!?

So...if you know me and my luck with getting in a race that has a lottery...its pretty bad. In fact so bad that I can say that there is not a single race that I have actually got in that has a lottery. But it looks like the race gods are smiling down on me now...because I actually got into a race with a lottery! The Canyonlands half marathon in Moab. We are going to head down with a group of our friends...Cody Nicholle, Carol, Pedro, Shaun, and Lisa. Its going to be a good one. I am going to try to set a time goal of under 2 hours. And since I havent been running AT ALL lately it will be a lofty goal to meet. I'm excited to have something to start training for again...and good friends to train with.
I'll be posting my progress along the way!

Hello Again:)

Like usual...I've taken a break from blogging. Its beginning to be a theme:) So let me recap the summer. I had a GREAT summer! I had a great time with my kids along with a great break. I cracked my head open on the trails....Hiked a couple of awesome peaks. Learned how to mountain bike and totally loved it..I also went to Sonoma for a week which was simply beautfiul to see Shaun do the Ironman. I got the swine flu which was not so fun...but hey...I survived. I did a few races...nothing too crazy. Got first place in my age group at the Alta Down hill dash...that was a huge highlight for me! Went to a couple of concerts. To wrap it up...it was a good one! Here are some pics of the highlights.

So to start blogging about my life now...here is where I currently am in life.

I am back in school and taking it seriously! Not that I wasnt before...I am just really starting to love the medical end of things and REALLY am going to put my efforts into getting into a medical spa or plastic surgeons office. I absolutely LOVE learning about the make up of the skin and why things happen in your skin. It is so fascinating to me:) But I am a business chica deep down and have a huge desire to start my own thing too. We'll see how it goes.

I have my sweet Kai living with me now...oh boy you have no idea how hard that was for me to not have my boy with me. It was heartbreaking to me. I feel so much better about life having him in my home with his sisters. He and Zoe are in school and are doing great. Lulu and I chill together alot throughout the day. Its great!

So there you have it...I'll do my best to get blogging so I dont feel like I have to recap the last 6 months.

And on that...I leave you with a quote... Something that I say to myself often...not often enough:)

"Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be." — Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia)

BEST NEWS EVER!!!

This is a really weird blog post for me...But this is dang good info!

So ladies...and maybe gents...Here is a problem that I KNOW many of you have experienced. Ya know when you get that musty smell because your deodorant has just STOPPED working. You try different flavors...brands...everything...and NOTHING works! Well if you don't know what I'm talking about...get off my blog :) Kidding...anyway. I was having this problem not too long ago and it was buggin me bad. I texted my friends asking what kind of deodorant they use...went and bought 3 different kinds. NOTHING was working still. I knew this was an epidemic amongst ladies, but no one ever talks about it. Well if you know me...there's nothing I'm afraid of talking about when it comes to this stuff. So I did what I always do to find useless information, diagnose diseases, cure bed wetting, find out why my hands get wrinkly in the shower etc. I googled it. And here is what I found... I am posting it for all you stinky ladies out there that are suffering in silence and believe me...so is your man (if you have one.)

Ok...first off...the reason for the smell is this. The sweat that comes out of your glands is odorless. It is clean. Its when it sits in your pits amongst bacteria that is dwelling in a warm moist place that it starts to stink up the place. Its the bacteria that causes the smell. Deodorant is just masking that smell...so if you have bacteria pits...it is just adding smell good to bacteria pits. Bad combo. Now...don't get all sad that you have bacteria in your pits. Fact of life...get over it. Onward.

Here is the solution. So all of those Dove, Jergens, Suave, Oil of Olay body washes that you are using for moisture...are doing NOTHING to clean your skin...NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING! When you wash your hands...do you wash your hands with lotion? Helz NO sista! You make sure you have something with anti-bacterial properties to kill the bacteria on your hands. You see where I'm going with this?! You need an anti-bacterial soap for your pits to clean the bacteria and break up that cocktail party that your sweat, bacteria, and deodorant have been having. Have you noticed that when you clean your armpits with one of the moisturizing body washes mentioned above that your armpits almost feel like your deodorant has created a barrier and it doesn't clean it totally. That is because you are washing your armpits with LOTION....LOTION I tell you! Ok...a fancy form of lathering lotion...but nothing that will strip away the old deodorant totally...clean the bacteria away and leave you fresh as a daisy.

Now...the hard part is finding the anti-bacterial soap. TaDa! DIAL! Dial is one of the only brands that makes a body wash that is anti bacterial for your body. Now, when it comes to you just being a huge sweater...ya know...wet pits all the time. Not really my issue, but there is another trick. There is some stuff called Certain Dri. It has no smell good so it is strictly an anti-perspirant...and you put it on at night. Its active ingredient is called Aluminum Chloride. This ingredient will actually help your body not create as much sweat in your underarms which will lessen the amount of moisture. It does this by making your pores smaller in your underarm area. Now...don't get me wrong...i am a huge fan of sweating. Its an awesome way to detox and cleanse your body...but your armpits don't NEED to sweat at their full sweat potential.

After putting this on at night...I use my regular deodorant in the morning to give me a fresh scent and it works like a charm! So before you even think of changing deodorants due to musty stinky pit problem... go pick yourself up some anti-bacterial Dial.

You can thank me later:)
