Thai Crystal Deodorant Stone

My husband uses this daily and I've tried it a bunch of times.  The product claims to last over a year.  Hubby is still using the same one he bought two years ago and it looks to have about two years of life left.

Price:
For $7.99 this is a major steal.  If it lasts for four years, that's only $2 bucks a year for deodorant.  A definite plus.

The smelliness factor:
This product doesn't work for me... I feel like I have body odor about 4 hours after application.  However, my husband swears by it and he doesn't smell bad, mostly.

Aesthetics:
I added this as a category for review because I think it is sort of gross that you have to wet a smelly piece of salt that you've been rubbing all over your pits for a year before reapplying day after day.  For a girly girl such as myself, that's sort of nasty.

Natural ingredients:
This product has one ingredient: mineral salts.  According to the product website, the mineral salt used is alum taken from bauxite ore. Did you know that Australia produces one third of the World's bauxite?  Well it does.  From Wikipedia, I also learned that bauxite is usually strip mined. 

Overall:
For some people, this may be a very good product.  It is also very inexpensive.  I would recommend it with hesitation (notably because of the smelliness and grossness factor).

FUCCCK seriously I am totally powerless over Law and Order SVU.

Up until a couple weeks ago, they used play SVU marathons all day long on Sundays. I would spend the whole day lying on the couch, glued to the TV, whining during comercial breaks that the show was ruining my life and that there was nothing I could do about it.

Then the marathons stopped.

I spent the first few Sundays waiting around by the TV to see if they'd start later on than usual. Nope. Now they're showing this stupid fucking show Burn Notice which looks retarded. I am so sad.

Since I last wrote anything lots of stuff has happened like I went camping in Maryland and got ticks and had to pluck them out with tweezers and some other stuff too. Also, my boyfriend's cellphone was stolen and it has pictures of my boobs which I took and set as his background so that if anyone used his phone they would think he is a perv (haha) but the joke is on me since now some REAL LIFE perv is probably jerking off to my innocent little breasts. Sigh. Other things include that my cat has gotten even cuter - I know you didn't think it was possible - I also started playing pool on a regular basis and now I eat oatmeal EVERY DAY for breakfast. I still smoke and have decided that I will NEVER quit and that when my two years here in D.C. is up, I will move to Paris or maybe not. That's about it.

I was feeling so proud cause I played tennis yesterday and today I went to the gym but now I can't even move, just am lying on my couch, totally dead.

Tonight, I went out for pizza and walked home just at sunset, when all the neighbourhood kiddies were getting kicked out of the park by the cops and sprawled out on the curb and street corners, smoking blunts and joking and flirting and screaming, while the adults stood on porches and gossiped over the hedge with fireflies blowing all around in the damp twilight.
