Body Mint Lady

So over the past few weeks, I've actually become a big fan of Body Mint.  I'm still taking it and still liking the results.  Haven't done any boyfriend tests recently, but I do notice a difference in the day to day stuff.  Come on, throuhout the day we can all admit that our breath can get a little off at times.  Likewise, if it's hot or the AC is broken... nobodys sweat smells like roses. 

I can honestly say that everything seems in pretty good shape.  I don't chew gum as often and I don't feel self conscious when I'm talking to people.  Pretty cool.

Anyway, the reason I'm back to this is that I was at Wal Mart this past weekend and Body Mint caught my eye on the shelf.  They have a Lady version that is suppose to work on feminine odor, or as they put it, feminine hygiene. 

The box is pretty, but I don't know about that.  I mean, I think we are all self conscious at one time or another about how it smells down there, but I guess it makes sense.  Will I try it and report on the results?   Hell no.  That's personal :).

On that note, my crap is still green.

Idiots

Sometimes I swear, the people that we have to interact with everyday is almost like a punishment.  I'm not going into specifics, but people who aren't suppose to be dumb, or I don't think have the luxury of being dumb, simply just can't help it. 

Then again, is it being dumb?  Maybe it's actually coming off as dumb, but originated from a different place.  What the hell am I talking about?  Let me try to explain.  Sometimes perhaps people have a need to.. oh let's say be 'the boss'.  By doing so they feel the need to bring up a suggestion just for the sake of doing so to come across as a thinker, an innovator, ambitious... whatever.

I have no problem with that in and of itself.  However, in doing so, if you're going to say the stupidest crap that makes me look at you like, what the hell are you talking about, then just stop.  Pretending to not want to call you an idiot is too draining.

Post Body Mint

Well, my little experiment ended, but I find myself still wanting to write.  There's something relaxing about having an outlet to spew just random thoughts to no one in particular. 

I went for lunch today with a few coworkers and no one could decide what to eat.  I suggested this great Thai food place not to far from our office.  When we got there one of the girls I was there made a comment like, 'oh this place smells funny".  Ok. 

We sit down to look at the menu and another female coworker starts saying how the food items look so messy.  Huh?  I guess looking at the pictures it wasn't all neatly arranged like whatever boring crap she likes to eat.  Curries, stir fries.. yum!  Variety ladies, variety!

I think sometimes people just like to complain for the sake of complaining OR because they are going along with an idea that isn't their's even though they didn't bother to present an idea of their own.

Anyway, after lunch we walked out and the first girl who made the smell comment started complaining about how her clothes smelled funny and if I had any Body Mint, ha ha.  I just laughed and said something along the lines of sure,  I have some at home.  I'l lbring it for you tomorrow and you can thank me later. 

Bitch.

So there you have it

So the purpose of me doing this was to see if Body Mint really worked or not.  After about 3 days or so I did notice a difference in my morning breath, but never really had a chance to test out the body odor part.  Like I mentioned before my idea was to do some exercising with the boyfriend and give him a big, fat hug afterwards to see if he noticed anything. 

Well, that time finally came.

This weekend, we had planned a tennis workout.  Normally we drive to the courts which are a few blocks from where we live, but this time I told him, let's walk.  He looked at me with a slight bit of confusion, but I just said it was a nice day and walking is good for you.  He gave in.  Yay!

The thing is, it was a nice day, but probably not for walking.  It was close to 90 degrees out.  I was torn.  On one hand, it would've been easier to drive and more importantly, coming back home would've been a lot easier.  On the other hand, it's a great opportunity for my little blog.  Ah well, such is the way of things.

So we finally get to the park and play for a good 2 hours.  It's hot, we're sweating, it's great!  We cool down for a while, just passing the time with small talk.  I thought now's a great time to move in closer.  I get up and sit next to him and start off my just resting my head on his shoulder.  I tell him it's hot and I'm tired.  Like a typical guy, he says, "well you're the one who wanted to walk here.". 

I look up and give him a big smile, and just say 'thanks honey!', and wrap my arms around him.  I then asked in more words than I'm reiterating here, 'do I smell'.  He said no.  I asked what do I smell like.  He said, 'I don't know, whatever you wash your hair with'. 

Funny thing is, the whole time I'm thinking, 'dude, you kind of smell yourself'.  Of course not in pinch your nose run away way, but more like how I think I smell after working out.... like sweat. 

So there you have it.  Shampoo.

Not even a little sweat smell... at least not that he told me, and he's definitely not one to hold back on things. 

I know, this isn't the most scientific test out there, but for me,  it's convincing enough that Body Mint does work to an extent.  I do plan to use the rest of this bottle, and I'm actually thinking about buying it when I run out. 

Like I said, I don't think I have body odor, but it really does work for breath... especially in the morning.

Day 9: Title Help

Day 9:

Brain not working today.  Must think of creative title.  Can't... do... it.  Couldn't fall asleep til around 3am last night.  Working on 3 hours of sleep is like trying to swim laps while drunk.  It's dangerous! 

Anyway, back to the focus of this blog, my review of Body Mint.  According to their frequently asked questions, it's suppose to work in about a week.  As I indicated here, I started to notice some changes after about 3 or 4 days. 

It revolved primarily around morning breath... again, I know it's weird to talk about, but lets be reality here; everyone has it!  But even today, I still wake up and I feel like my breath is pretty good for not having brushed yet.  I actually took it one step further and had a conversation with my boyfriend before brushing.  I wasn't all in his face, breathing on him, but just casual, morning type conversation.  Usually you can tell if a person's still got the monring funk going on, but he didn't say anything.  I probably should have hinted to see if he was just being polite.  Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

Also, I do notice a change in the way my body smells.  I don't have body odor.  At least I don't think I do and no one has told me otherwise.  But after work outs or a hot day, I know I can smell like I had a long day.  I know you guys know what I mean.

Anyway, I haven't really noticed that much either.  It hasn't been hot lately and I've worked out two times since taking Body Mint, so maybe it's not a good sample size yet.  I'm still going to hug my boyfriend after working out just to see what he says.  Poor guy!

Well, that's all for now.
