I think it was shortly after my Dad died that my brother refinished my Mom’s floors. He also refinished my floors but that was a number of years later. After he finished both her living room and dining room floors, he had somebody come over to properly install a transition strip between her living room and dining room. The man cut the transition strip with a table saw right in my Mom’s dining room. I remember sitting at the table and remarking on how good the wood smelled once it was cut.
I remember the man laughing because he thought that was an interesting comment but it really DID smell good! That happened a while ago but I still remember it like it was yesterday. I still can smell the wood.
With that being said, I recently finished using the travel sized deodorant I ordered from Schmidt’s. I think the new one I am trying is the third or fourth sample from the sample pack of 5 I bought. I know that I didn’t like the first one but I had to use it all because it cost me money! I really liked the yellow one that reminded my Mom of my Abuela. I will probably order normal sized deodorant in that scent.
Well, since I am finished with that deodorant sample, it was time to try something new. I chose this one:
Now, it’s common practice that natural deodorant is unisex. This one is DEFINITELY made for a guy! However, it cost me money and I really don’t leave my house so no one is going to smell it other than Sean and my Mom. I will just deal with it for the few weeks it takes for me to use it up. So, if I see anyone, I KNOW that I smell like wood! But it’s NOT the good smelling oak that I smelled at my Mom’s house so long ago, to put t it flatly; I smell like a 2 x 4. The smell annoys me and kind of gives me a headache but I know that, “This too, shall pass” except in the meantime, I really DO smell like a 2 x 4!
