Billion Dollar Idea!

I went to the store last night because I needed more deodorant. (You’re welcome.) The store did not have the deodorant that I typically use; so, I was presented with the daunting task of, you guessed it, picking out a new deodorant! Did you know there are at least 50 different kinds of deodorants?! Different scents, different roll-on capabilities; some are solid, some are gel. They all promise to roll-on invisible, too; but, c’mon, how many times have you seen someone wearing one of the “roll on invisible deodorants” with a bunch of white flakes in their armpits! Or, how many times have you smelled someone’s body odor? Obviously, they weren’t wearing a strong enough deodorant. On the flip side, how many times have smelled nothing BUT someone’s deodorant?!

See, it’s a daunting task. Will this one REALLY roll on invisible? Will that one smell TOO strong? Will this one DO the job? And then, all of the commercials jingles start running through my head , “Sure...Unsure!”

It’s a daunting task, picking out a new deodorant when you’re perfectly happy with the one you typically use.

This made me think: I wonder what type of deodorant Joann uses? I wonder what Jennifer uses? (I think it’s Dove.) Paula? Michelle? Robin? Sandra Bullock? Oprah? Hmmm… I decided it would be weird for me to call them with such a question; so, I put on my big-girl panties and made the decision all by myself…so far so good, thank you very much! But, this lead me to conclude that girls, women, teens, females, whoever, need a little hand book that gives them such guidance. The handbook could include helpful information such as whether solid deodorants really do dry invisible and if they do, name the brands. I’m serious. A whole helpful book should be written and provided to women so when they find themselves in such perilous situations they have an answer readily available…because, of course, such a book would be pocket size so it would easily fit in one’s purse.

Other topics could include; hairdryers- go cheap or buy the best; bras- which brands have straps that will slip off your shoulder and which will stay securely in place.

Maybe I should take it upon myself to write said book! Yea, right! I believe, though, that a book like that could get filled up so quickly with important tid-bits that it would sell like hot-cakes…how fast do hot-cakes sell, anyway? If you’re trying to lose weight like me, then they probably don’t sell very fast. Hmmm…
