😂Yeah, at 40s and 50s, hygiene shouldn’t even be a conversation. However, if I’ve had spinach in my teeth, grinning all night and no one in my circle tells me, there will be some furniture moving within my circle.😂
Ur body odor can be Very Undetectable. I added more garlic and curry to my meal preps. One of my friends asked have u been eating Indian Food? My response was, "no, why?" They replied, " cause u smell like garlic and spicy." 😮 Fact is? My nose had adjusted the smell coming from within my body.

I had this happen in college in our friend group. The friend in question could throw hands. I told her because everyone else was scared. I knew she was showering and cleaning. Turns out she had an infection and once she completed her cycle of antibiotics, the smell went away. I began to side eye the two who wouldn't tell her🙄
Yes! Friends worry about their friends. There couple be a medical condition & that person just needs encouragement to get it checked out. I know EJ wasn't talking about that, but some people can get into really bad financial situations & either can't or won't buy cleaning or hygiene supplies. I have had to run to the pantry for hygiene supplies & I told my friend. I never knew, but she is kind of a horder ha ha.. she gave me a couple things to clean my house & some soap for myself. Now I buy multiples of hygiene & cleaning supplies.
I live in Austin and have found a lot of the people here are FUNKY. I had a convo with some folks at a happy hour...everyone, male and female, either smelled a little musty or like unwashed hair. Someone said I smelled good...I said I use either scented lotion or lotion and then cologne on top of it to make it "stick". Many of them responded that they don't like chemicals in their hair or skin and use a variety of oils and herbal soaps, etc. I guess the herbs and oils don't last as long as the chemical-based products....I had to leave the happy hour early...
I hate when people say they don't like chemicals....everything is a chemical. H2O...the chemical compound of water. Which they obviously ain't using enough of, cause they stank.
@@bobbiobanion7706yep. And the herbs and oils are all chemicals. If you listed off the chemical names of the oils they use they'd have a fit and say it's dangerous. The level of ignorance is overwhelming sometimes.
Unfortunately I was the smelly kid and even into college I would be musty. Yes I washed and used deodorant. Deodorant would stick to my skin even with soap and a rough bath cloth. I would scrub so hard my underarms would bleed and then I would have to still put deodorant on open wounds. That caused me to develop HS FORTUNATELY I later discovered that body scrub is my best friend! Sometimes we don’t have people who will help you find a solution but would rather just pick at you instead, I’m thankful I don’t have the problems I used to! I hope everyone is kind when they talk to their friends about their problems you never know what they’re going through. Common sense is not common
What is “HS”? I’m sorry for your youth time. I was as wide as I was tall. And. I wore glasses. 4th grade on. Had full on acne. In grade school. I had my share. We survived, though!!
@@TheMcpherson4 Thank you, HS is Hidradenitis suppurativa. I’m glad you survived I’m still dealing with some things now still like acne I’m 32 with PCOS so I often I deal with hyperpigmentation but I’ve learned to manage it and trust I still wear glasses and even wore hearing aids growing up lol talk about going through it but I’m good got my husband and kids so I guess I ain’t do too bad 😂
I had a 48 hour flight and I knew I was musty because the woman next to me made one loud smelling/sniff noise. I believe that is the universal signal for "You're Musty."
Yo, some folks are just nose-blind. They have NO IDEA how they smell, especially folks who: smoke, wear synthetic fibers (e.g. polyester); eat highly acidic or fragrant foods; etc. Sometimes culture/background is at the root of the problem; sometimes it's an economic issue. But come to folks with LOVE, and COMPASSION, and address it. If they get defensive - hey, at least you tried!
Chile!! I live in Germany and the odor is HELLA strong on folks in the summer and they walk around like it’s normal. I’m talking breathtaking musty! 😂😂
Yep!! I’ve lived in Germany for 3 years and it’s on another level. I was told they don’t believe in wearing deodorant with additional chemicals, so…..yeah
I want to travel the world but I have a very sensitive nose, and this is a concern for me. My breath gets snatched when I’m in my local Aldi’s behind just a couple of Southeast Asian guys (who don’t “stink”, per se, but eat highly spiced foods that come out of their pores and cause me to see stars at the first indrawn breath), so I can’t imagine my reaction when it’s the whole continent emitting strong scents or true funk.
@@LetsBeCivilShallWe oh no 😧. I still encourage you to travel! However, you might want to pack some masks and put a few drops of essential oils or natural scents to help you out.
Me neither! I tried the aluminum free Secret and Native deodorant and after a couple hours, I smelled like I had been living out in nature! Naw, never again.
Searching for a good natural deodorant got me 2 summers ago, but I caught it myself bc I was checking every 10 mins with a certain new brand. Made a quick detour to wash and change to the old deodorant.
Note that there is a difference between antiperspirant and deodorant. Antiperspirants are designed to reduce sweating, while deodorants are designed to cover up the smell while inhibiting the odor causing bacteria that makes your sweat smell. Make sure your product is a deodorant with antiperspirant. Plus, most people need to use it in more places than just under your arms. Your joint areas are where sweat gathers, also under your beasts and lower back. Some people have a lot of hair under their arms. Most women shave, but most men don't, and that hair just holds a lot of sweat with bacteria. Antiperspirants only work if applied directly on the skin. Do with that what you will.
For some it's similar to puberty, in which the body is experiencing hormonal changes. The remedy is the same....WASH YOUR BODY! People should be showering/bathing at least twice a day. Changing your underwear everyday!
Listen...when I tell you it's a different kind of must! I distinctly remember being on the phone with my mom as my husband and tried different remedies to get the smell out of my right arm pit. It was like puberty...but it wasn't the same.
@resa31802 sis after you wash with Dial soap(gold bar) take alcohol and wipe under your arms or use the ordinary toner game changers. Menopause 53 here😂😂
This is all in good fun, we know. But I do thank EJ for adding the post-production note for clarity. Hormonal changes, meds, and infections are just a few of the things that can affect someone’s body odor. Chemotherapy can also affect someone’s body odor. And this piece is for diabetics and their loved ones. Pay closer attention to changes in body odor, because it can indicate issues with your blood sugar. There’s usually a nail polish remover smell on the breath that can indicate these issues. These are just a few things to look out for. We want to be healthy AND stank-free.👌🏿
One thing I've learned with all the different phases of life I've been through,is that sometimes it's not even about the smell, it's about the why is we walking around like that..? As your friend I care more about the why.. 🤷🏾♀️
It is my experience that musty people have serious odor fatigue. They the only ones who don’t know they musty. As a friend… we owe them to have that conversation…
I read a commeny on IG of this over confident person who stated that they only shower once a week and doesnt smell. And how ppl who shower more often has to do so bc the body is used to it. Most ppl were laughing at them , and telling him or her that's bc u can no longer smell ur funk, but we bet others around you can
TRUTH!!! Let’s get to the root of the matter which iseth thine pits. I got $5 on it. Did you have a hot flash and your pits outgrew your deodorant. I mean, real friends can tell each other.
I've always been paranoid that i stink and especially as a plus size woman i know it's a stupid stereotype type but i try really hard to not be stinking in public lol if possible i try to take a bath right before i leave the house for anything. My last 2 doctor's visits i was complimented on my scent! The first time it was the nurse at the front desk asking what perfume i was wearing. This last time it was the doctor when she started doing my physical exam said "you always smell so good what kind of perfume do you use?". Let me tell you the way that has made my month! 😂😂 it's nice to be complimented but if it's on something you are paranoid about it has a soothing element.
@@truediva18 Valentino Donna, it's a bit pricey but Brittany spears electric fantasy is a very similar scent for a fraction of the cost. I just learned about it and i definitely will purchase again.
I don't understand how or why ppl are friends with ppl they can't tell the truth to. I have no problem telling my friends "nope, no ma'am" and vice versa. If i can't tell u the truth or u can't tell me the truth, we are not friends.
I'm hollering, not it's boring 😂😂. Listen, I keep wipes and a travel deodorant with me at all times, and I've had to pass it along from time to time( sh.. happens 🤷🏾♀️) Wait, the disclaimer at the end took me out 😂. Ohhh, someone in your friend group is mad mad EJ lol.
Sadly, some haven’t been trained with foundational skills. For example, I didn’t just tell my daughter ‘take a bath.’ Why? That’s a general instruction. I told her ‘wash everything.’
Remember certain foods will make you musty, onions and garlic, and asparagus. Eating these items have nothing to do with taking a bath. It is in the blood system. And these food items are good for the body .
What I will say in the 30+ range, being a new mom a few times over, few of my new mom friends, well maybe just one, and also myself in the hustle and bustle of everything have forgotten that one last step. Sometime we waiting for our skin to heal a little bit from shaving the under arms before we put on deodorant, and then, deodorant gets forgotten. Not often, but it can and has happened to grown 30+ year old women.
The change of life could be happening. Real friends will address the issue and explore options together. Either way is a sensitive subject and should be addressed delicately. Depending on your relationship with the person of course.
Most of the time, I will bring it up myself to give my friends a warning. I am going through menopause or something because my Native is not working for me anymore. I just switched to Lume and I am still kind of hesitant if it works. If your friends are your girls, well that's one more thing we can talk about.
Sometimes the smell comes because the deodorant company done tricked you. Like you can't find your regular deodorant and so you decide to take a chance on a new variety and in fine print at the bottom it says no aluminum. Which is code for you need to carry me around all day and reapply throughout the day. But you didn't know that until 3 days in when inexplicably at around 2:00 in the afternoon you start smelling yourself everyday. So I appreciate Crystal with the statement, "it's boring let's put on deodorant."
Life happens, if you just so happen to be musty one day, I get it. You probably didn't mean. But if you're CONSISTENTLY musty every time I see you, that's where my problem lies 💁🏾♀️
Recently I spent two nights in the hospital as a guest. The cop at the info desk lovingly joked about me being in the same clothes lol i know he sees it often. But y'all my pits were screaming lol i didn't want to leave my daughter's side. But when she said mom you stink lol I knew i had to find somebody's shower STAT!
In defense of the "musties", if you're in the frame, you can't see the picture (or in the case, smell the musty), so as a friend, it's time to say something, leading with love. ❤
I feel you EJ. My friends are 30s and 40s mainly as well. We ain't no business being musty just hanging out. After your workout baby go on and hit that shower. Knock ALL funk out with hot water, soap and a washcloth. Put deodorant on with the lotion when you get finished.
A few months ago, there was a man that made a video saying that if you don’t use a washcloth that you were musty. This was during the time when celebrities were talking about not washing their kids. The way this man spoke, with such disdain for people that were musty, like he was just so done with it-it scared me clean. I bought the scrubbing cloths that are really coarse and I can report that I’m no longer musty. Now I don’t know if race has anything to do with it, but I was not taught to use a washcloth, but he was black and it seems like black people are raised a little bit cleaner than the rest of us that didn’t know we were supposed to wash our legs. Idk but one less white girl is musty and I wish I could thank him for his service.
I needed to see this video. My coworker of 2 yrs smelled for 3 days and I didn't know how to tell her. We share a office together. She was on her menstrual and I could tell she was having some hormonal problems. Shes is her early 50's. I didn't feel comfortable telling her because I wasn't sure if she would take offense. If it was my close friend I would have pulled her to the side, or took a trip to the CVS. I just spent most of my time in the conference room and went into today to spray and refresh the office.
People don't even tell their mates that they stink like they need to, so they dang for sure isn't telling their friends. I get tired of being at work with funky coworkers and even around family/friends who stink. I got my hair braided by one friend early in the morning and her 😺 was stinky every time she moved. They be married or in a relationship and their mates let them come outside with bad breathe and high booty butt crack smell, musty and fishy. Some of them mates/or they themselves caught STDs and don't know it yet, thinking it's yeast. And lately when i go into public I don't know what's going on with men with blue jeans but they have this weird smell. I don't know if those little pee droplets when they using the bathroom in addition to not washing their pants is the issue or it's some kind of detergent they are using. But I see the common denominator which is men with blue jeans on. And I've told people they stink and they got mad/said I was lying. Two dudes i told that when were dating and they both were like well nobody ever told me that. Chile one go come months later talking about he went to dentist and had a bad tooth. Baby I'll stay single before I stay suffering with someone with bad breath. Then he go ask if he could eat me. I declined. Whatever was in his mouth was not about to be in my 🐈😂😂🤣
Winter I'm with you! I don't want to smell "body", sweat, urine, rotten puss in your tooth/mouth!! 🤢 🤮!! Wash your damned feet too!!!! Booty cracks don't get attention either!! LUME y'all I'm tell ya!!!!
You should always tell your friend if they are awry in ANY way otherwise you are not a friend. I was a skunky in my younger years so I always self-checked and watched the foods I ate. I learned to use the right soaps, smell good layering scents etc. medicine can be the culprit too
I had someone in my training circle that was musty before 8 am. We train in closed quarters. The disrespect to my nose led me to pull said person aside unlike the others and try to come up with a remedy I bought him dial soap and degree sport problem solved for duration of training he was grateful that I didn't talk behind his back like the others
The disclaimer at the end was so funny. And sadly necessary. Because you know it's somebody watching with a body odor disorder (hyperfunkadosis or something) ready to cancel EJ for being insensitive lol 🙄
i do work a physical job, and i sweat while i do it. if i have to be in somebody's presence before i've had a chance to wipe up after a shift, i'll say point blank that "I smell like effort." but *usually*, i have some wipes and deodorant in my work pack that i can use when the shift is over.
It's really hard to say it to someone. I just ignored it and thought that maybe the person builds up stress differently or that the friend was going through something those times😢 I felt bad for knowing
I was in college a friend of mine told me that a friend of hers was funky and her coat smell funky too and I was thinking to myself this is supposed to be your friend and you didn’t let her know that she funky but I was like girl if I am funky please let me know. Lol but a song came to my mind when you talking about friends y’all remember that song friends how many of us have them and what kind of my mind was friends how many of us have them when we’re musty lol 😆
The logic behind the ratio of ‘one funky… one fresh ‘ is so real!!! 🤣😂 either we all just worked out or moved furniture all day = funky and on our way to remedy, or we all fresh… Cuz AINT NO WAY! 🤣
@@setapartaay925 I’m in the South(Mississippi, Georgia and Florida),too and I was thinking today I might have to use regular deodorant in the summer and aluminum free in the winter.
Usually it's men, the depressed, and the financially struggling. There was once I ran out of deodorant, soap, laundry detergent and money to do the laundry, while sleeping in my car in the summer time, and had so very little I needed everything I had to eat. But. thanks be to God for Planet Fitness.
If you’re musty, you’re absolutely past deodorant. We are into a fresh bar of soap, hot water, and a washcloth territory!!
PERIOD!!!
Or a fast and cleans that can be related to an internal issue.
Please say it again for the folks in the stank row!! 🗣️🤢

You can get musty an hour after showering. It depends on the bacteria under the arm.

TRUTH!!! Let’s get to the root of the matter which iseth thine pits. I got $5 on it. Did you have a hot flash and your pits outgrew your deodorant. I mean, real friends can tell each other.
At our age, it’s probably a deeper problem like depression Or serious brain fog because it happens
I've always been paranoid that i stink and especially as a plus size woman i know it's a stupid stereotype type but i try really hard to not be stinking in public lol if possible i try to take a bath right before i leave the house for anything. My last 2 doctor's visits i was complimented on my scent! The first time it was the nurse at the front desk asking what perfume i was wearing. This last time it was the doctor when she started doing my physical exam said "you always smell so good what kind of perfume do you use?". Let me tell you the way that has made my month! 😂😂 it's nice to be complimented but if it's on something you are paranoid about it has a soothing element.
Fyi, a male stripper said he found that plus size women were not the problem related to hygiene.
What perfume do you wear? Any recommendations?
@@truediva18 Valentino Donna, it's a bit pricey but Brittany spears electric fantasy is a very similar scent for a fraction of the cost. I just learned about it and i definitely will purchase again.
I don't understand how or why ppl are friends with ppl they can't tell the truth to.
I have no problem telling my friends "nope, no ma'am" and vice versa.
If i can't tell u the truth or u can't tell me the truth, we are not friends.
Agreed...."don't bully the less-fresh".😂
I'm hollering, not it's boring 😂😂. Listen, I keep wipes and a travel deodorant with me at all times, and I've had to pass it along from time to time( sh.. happens 🤷🏾♀️) Wait, the disclaimer at the end took me out 😂. Ohhh, someone in your friend group is mad mad EJ lol.
Sadly, some haven’t been trained with foundational skills. For example, I didn’t just tell my daughter ‘take a bath.’ Why? That’s a general instruction. I told her ‘wash everything.’
Remember certain foods will make you musty, onions and garlic, and asparagus. Eating these items have nothing to do with taking a bath. It is in the blood system. And these food items are good for the body .
I bought a bad batch of deodorant and baabbyyy Secret was telling everybody everything 😮😤
That's a good one
What I will say in the 30+ range, being a new mom a few times over, few of my new mom friends, well maybe just one, and also myself in the hustle and bustle of everything have forgotten that one last step. Sometime we waiting for our skin to heal a little bit from shaving the under arms before we put on deodorant, and then, deodorant gets forgotten. Not often, but it can and has happened to grown 30+ year old women.
The change of life could be happening. Real friends will address the issue and explore options together. Either way is a sensitive subject and should be addressed delicately. Depending on your relationship with the person of course.
Most of the time, I will bring it up myself to give my friends a warning. I am going through menopause or something because my Native is not working for me anymore. I just switched to Lume and I am still kind of hesitant if it works. If your friends are your girls, well that's one more thing we can talk about.
Sometimes the smell comes because the deodorant company done tricked you. Like you can't find your regular deodorant and so you decide to take a chance on a new variety and in fine print at the bottom it says no aluminum. Which is code for you need to carry me around all day and reapply throughout the day. But you didn't know that until 3 days in when inexplicably at around 2:00 in the afternoon you start smelling yourself everyday. So I appreciate Crystal with the statement, "it's boring let's put on deodorant."
Life happens, if you just so happen to be musty one day, I get it. You probably didn't mean.
But if you're CONSISTENTLY musty every time I see you, that's where my problem lies 💁🏾♀️
Recently I spent two nights in the hospital as a guest. The cop at the info desk lovingly joked about me being in the same clothes lol i know he sees it often. But y'all my pits were screaming lol i didn't want to leave my daughter's side. But when she said mom you stink lol I knew i had to find somebody's shower STAT!
3:22 not the “hot pocket” Goodness you remind me of my sister with the hot pocket, coin purse, pocket book, flower, and ya girl
“This is not too bully the less fresh” 😲🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When she said “your hot pocket”……😂😂
Not the transference of the house odor. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
In defense of the "musties", if you're in the frame, you can't see the picture (or in the case, smell the musty), so as a friend, it's time to say something, leading with love. ❤
I feel you EJ. My friends are 30s and 40s mainly as well. We ain't no business being musty just hanging out. After your workout baby go on and hit that shower. Knock ALL funk out with hot water, soap and a washcloth. Put deodorant on with the lotion when you get finished.
A few months ago, there was a man that made a video saying that if you don’t use a washcloth that you were musty. This was during the time when celebrities were talking about not washing their kids. The way this man spoke, with such disdain for people that were musty, like he was just so done with it-it scared me clean. I bought the scrubbing cloths that are really coarse and I can report that I’m no longer musty. Now I don’t know if race has anything to do with it, but I was not taught to use a washcloth, but he was black and it seems like black people are raised a little bit cleaner than the rest of us that didn’t know we were supposed to wash our legs. Idk but one less white girl is musty and I wish I could thank him for his service.
christal and ej? this is the collab i didn’t know i needed!
Post Production Afterthoughts: "This is not to bully the less fresh." 😂🤣🤣🤣
The hand movements get me every time!
I needed to see this video. My coworker of 2 yrs smelled for 3 days and I didn't know how to tell her. We share a office together. She was on her menstrual and I could tell she was having some hormonal problems. Shes is her early 50's. I didn't feel comfortable telling her because I wasn't sure if she would take offense. If it was my close friend I would have pulled her to the side, or took a trip to the CVS. I just spent most of my time in the conference room and went into today to spray and refresh the office.
People don't even tell their mates that they stink like they need to, so they dang for sure isn't telling their friends.
I get tired of being at work with funky coworkers and even around family/friends who stink. I got my hair braided by one friend early in the morning and her 😺 was stinky every time she moved.
They be married or in a relationship and their mates let them come outside with bad breathe and high booty butt crack smell, musty and fishy. Some of them mates/or they themselves caught STDs and don't know it yet, thinking it's yeast.
And lately when i go into public I don't know what's going on with men with blue jeans but they have this weird smell. I don't know if those little pee droplets when they using the bathroom in addition to not washing their pants is the issue or it's some kind of detergent they are using. But I see the common denominator which is men with blue jeans on.
And I've told people they stink and they got mad/said I was lying. Two dudes i told that when were dating and they both were like well nobody ever told me that. Chile one go come months later talking about he went to dentist and had a bad tooth.
Baby I'll stay single before I stay suffering with someone with bad breath. Then he go ask if he could eat me. I declined. Whatever was in his mouth was not about to be in my 🐈😂😂🤣
😂 omggggggg😅😂 I am dying!!!!😂😂😂
OMG😂😂😂😂
🤣😭😭😭☝️👏
Winter I'm with you! I don't want to smell "body", sweat, urine, rotten puss in your tooth/mouth!! 🤢 🤮!! Wash your damned feet too!!!! Booty cracks don't get attention either!! LUME y'all I'm tell ya!!!!
TRUTH!!!😂😂 I'm saying something & my circle knows this. 😡
Let’s talk on the phone had me rolling😂😂😂😂
That "and really quickly" dance/voice😂😂
If no one fixes my 2xl tag sticking out my dress while we're out you are all getting an earful when I notice! 😂🤨😂
All I can say is Facts!! ✌🏽🙋🏽♀🙏🏽
If they’re grown and musty, we are absolutely talking about them 🤷🏽♀️
You should always tell your friend if they are awry in ANY way otherwise you are not a friend. I was a skunky in my younger years so I always self-checked and watched the foods I ate. I learned to use the right soaps, smell good layering scents etc. medicine can be the culprit too
Because you have had 30-40 years to know how not to be musty. No excuses!! 😂😂😂😂
Your hot pocket? O.M.G. That’s a new one on me! But, I like it, and I know exactly what she means. 😂🤣😂 Lordt!
The less fresh TOOK ME CLEAN OWWWWWTTT!!!🤣
The “really quickly” 😂 this lady is hilarious 😂😂😂😂
When I need a laugh, this is the page I come to. Thank you for speaking the truth EJ that we all think
I had someone in my training circle that was musty before 8 am. We train in closed quarters. The disrespect to my nose led me to pull said person aside unlike the others and try to come up with a remedy I bought him dial soap and degree sport problem solved for duration of training he was grateful that I didn't talk behind his back like the others
The disclaimer at the end was so funny. And sadly necessary. Because you know it's somebody watching with a body odor disorder (hyperfunkadosis or something) ready to cancel EJ for being insensitive lol 🙄
I ❤ the term “the less fresh”! I’m definitely using that the next time my teen comes around me!!! 😂
I almost chocked with the hotpocket😂😂😂😂
Lol! "This is not to bully THE LESS FRESH!" LMAO 🤣 😂 😆 🤣 😂 EJ YOU CRAZY GURL!!! 😆 🤣 😂
"Maybe you build storm shelters" is diabolical 😅
i do work a physical job, and i sweat while i do it. if i have to be in somebody's presence before i've had a chance to wipe up after a shift, i'll say point blank that "I smell like effort."
but *usually*, i have some wipes and deodorant in my work pack that i can use when the shift is over.
I love her hand gestures!
😂you’re my absolute favorite! 🤩 “the less fresh”💀
It's really hard to say it to someone. I just ignored it and thought that maybe the person builds up stress differently or that the friend was going through something those times😢 I felt bad for knowing
I love Crystal, she has a beautiful heart & a great laugh😂❤
I was in college a friend of mine told me that a friend of hers was funky and her coat smell funky too and I was thinking to myself this is supposed to be your friend and you didn’t let her know that she funky but I was like girl if I am funky please let me know. Lol but a song came to my mind when you talking about friends y’all remember that song friends how many of us have them and what kind of my mind was friends how many of us have them when we’re musty lol 😆
I love you and Christal! You guys both have me howling often 😂❤
I died when you walked off because they were asking the wrong questions.😂😂😂😂But "why are you visiting friends"?.💀💀💀💀 Someone revive me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not the “Less Fresh”😂😂😂😂
We don't want to bully the "less fresh", but we can make them aware!😂
My two favorite people 😂
EJ Sister EJ clock out now mkay bad enough I deal with some that have bad breath I have to hold mine so they can speak 😂
The logic behind the ratio of ‘one funky… one fresh ‘ is so real!!! 🤣😂 either we all just worked out or moved furniture all day = funky and on our way to remedy, or we all fresh… Cuz AINT NO WAY! 🤣
“The less fresh “ 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m on an aluminum free deodorant journey. So far it’s held it’s own against these hot flashes but hot flashes in the summer will be the real test🤞🏾.
I’m in Louisiana, so it’s already hot here. I’m on the same journey and sis…..😳🙄😔
@@setapartaay925 I’m in the South(Mississippi, Georgia and Florida),too and I was thinking today I might have to use regular deodorant in the summer and aluminum free in the winter.
@@dyoung2739yesss sis!! I’ve been telling my husband…babe, I’m going HAVE to go back to the aluminum, cause ain’t no way!! Thanks for sharing ☺️
Post production clarity is so real😅
So true
3:20 did you say "your hot pocket?" 😂😂😂
😂😂”Maybe you build storm shelters I don’t know”😂😂
LOL
In my color purple voice "You sholl is MUSTY" lol yes it's that time of the year.
Usually it's men, the depressed, and the financially struggling. There was once I ran out of deodorant, soap, laundry detergent and money to do the laundry, while sleeping in my car in the summer time, and had so very little I needed everything I had to eat. But. thanks be to God for Planet Fitness.
