Does Anyone Else Smell Onions

I never knew that body order smelled like onions!

About a year ago, I started really thinking about the products I was using in my home. I started paying attention to labels, ingredients. I started looking to more natural minded websites, apps, & companies.

One of the first (& certainly most difficult) changes I made was from regular deodorant to a natural deodorant. I thought it would be quick & easy. Boy was I wrong!

I picked the absolute worst time! I switched over in the wicked dog days of summer, just a week or so before we went on a camping trip filled with record highs & torrential downpours. To say that I stunk was an understatement!

I could not, for the life of me, figure out WHY I kept smelling like onions! I finally said something to my husband who found it absolutely hilarious, asking me if I had never sweated before. Well, why yes, I have sweated plenty of times, but due to my aluminum filled, pore clogging antiperspirant, my body never had the opportunity to release its natural smells. So I had YEARS worth of pent up BO just waiting to be set free!

Again...I had no clue body odor smelled like onions!

After this incredibly frustrating period, several companies, scents galore, & lots of research, I finally found a deodorant that works great, smells wonderful, & doesn’t break the bank.

 Schmidts is the only deodorant that I tried that actually worked for me. I tried the sensitive first because others have broken me out in the past but I was having to reapply it too often. I tried the regular & was still needing to reapply it occasionally, but overall I was happy.

Then I received a sample of the pit paste in Lime & Bergamot. I was a little concerned because it came in a glass jar with a spatula. How in this world am I going to put deodorant on with a spatula?

Weirdness aside, I started using this & LOVED it! It worked better than the stick leaving me fresh & non sweaty most of the day. There have only been a few times that I’ve needed to reapply & when I do, I use the stick for convenience.

The only downside is the occasional irritation & the darkening of my underarms. The irritation I can deal with. The discoloration...I’ve found a recipe (all natural of course) to help clear that up. I’ll let you know how it works...
