Your Deodorant Makes a Difference
Antiperspirant deodorant helps to control your sweat but if you have been using the same deodorant for years and it no longer works as well, switch it up. Try another deodorant to control your sweat because your body may become adjusted to one brand. Variety is the spice of life in everything; even deodorant!

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
Stress Sweat Smells Horrible
The worst smelling sweat is stress sweat. If you finally get the urge to talk to a long time crushes and walk away smelling kind of funky, you are not alone. That is because stress sweat hands in the apocrine glands. So relax, it is temporary and it shall pass!
