Oh my god I’m struggling so hard today to get some work done. I went to bed early last night, earlier than normal, and it totally fracked with my sleep. I went to bed at 10:30 and and just fell off mighty fast but at around 2-2:30 I was wide awake. I ended up falling back asleep at 3:45ish and my alarm was ringing at 4:45.

Blah….

I’m a sad, uninspired blogger today. I actually have a crumb load of work on my desk to get done for my real job. I’m sort of slowly working through that with a little peppering of procrastination thrown in. There’s some reviews scheduled for later today that I need to upload pics too so expect those shortly.

BUT WAIT….

Let’s discuss that time I suffered the the pits of Mordor for that deodorant I can no longer find….

If you know, you KNOW….

Story time. I know you love my crazy stories…

I’ve been trying to find Secret Va Va Vanilla Deodorant since the pandemic happened in store and it’s like impossible to find. They actually realized how bad and corny the name “Va Va Vanilla” is so they changed it. It’s now renamed to a very sophisticated “Secret Vanilla”.

Now, this has always been some sort of weird, elusive product. It was always difficult to locate for some odd reason or another. Harmons, CVS, Walgreens…they never carry it around here…! I have however, managed to locate it at the evilest of empires, the Deathstar, Walmart. Possibly one of the few reasons I’ll venture into Walmart is to buy Secret Vanilla Deoderant because it makes my armpits smell like a fluffy cupcake with vanilla frosting. Shrug….the things we do because we like pretty, stupid stuff….!

But every since April of last year it’s became impossible to find in store. Who’s hoarding it away? You’re the same person that grabbed all the Campbell’s Alphabet Soup, toilet paper, and paper towel aren’t you?

I’ve resorted to ordering it online and Walmart’s shipping takes forever and three to four years not counting weekends. I’ve been pretty close to just eating the Shipt’s cost and getting it from Target or paying the shipping from Rite Aide or Walgreens which both carry it…! Sometimes you gotta just pay shipping…!

So, cheers, to being inspired by deodorant today.

Today’s rant is brought to you by the letter R.

No deos, giant spiders, or Hobbits were harmed in making of this post.

I hope you find inspiration in all the things around you today. Sometimes it’s the small, tiny things that can inspire the biggest ideas!

Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Eau de Parfum arrives at sephora.com today with a cool, warm, spicy elements. The scent was created to compliment Carolina’s Good Girl Perfume that launched a few years ago. I’m just throwing it out there but Good Girl smells nothing like a good girl…! It’s all bad! Ha…! Good Girl comes across harsh to my nose! It’s a heady tonka blend that tickles my nose and makes me want to sneeze. It’s one of the very rare scents that I purchased spontaneously on a blind buy that I didn’t love.

Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Eau de Toilette uses the same tonka bean element and and mixes it with amber and cocoa. I typically don’t get crazy over men’s fragrances but the amber note caught my eye and there’s a good chance that Bad Boy might turn into a unisex blend for some of us. It may also, end up complimenting Good Girl if there two are cocktailed! That’s up for debate obviously until we actually play mad scientist and do the mixing. I’m oddly attracted to warm, amber fragrances and I’ve been known to apply men’s perfume a time or two!

The scent opens with White Pepper, Black Pepper and Bergamot, settles on to skin with Sage and Cedar, and dries down to warm Tonka Bean, Cacao and Amberwood notes.

If Bad Body isn’t as heady as Good Girl and the amber plays nicely with some of the citrus elements in this blend it might just be a win for women as well as men!

Have you ever worn a men’s fragrance?

What do you think of the notes of Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Eau de Parfum?
