I loved growing up in the 90s. With things like French Toast Crunch, putting beads on your bicycle spokes, having walls plastered with Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys posters, hoping your Tamagotchi didn’t die before you got home from school, and owning 100 flavours of B*nneBell L*pSmackers chapstick.

Welcome to the blog post dedicated to arm pit odour… because well it’s there… and someone has to talk about it. Some people slather on commercial deodorant and don’t give it another thought. But do you wonder… what’s really in that strange plastic container? I wondered. I researched. Then came the day I quit commercial…
