In a way I am looking forward to my kids going back to school. It’s been a long summer and I think my kids need to get back to some kind of routine. I need to get back into my normal routine too. It’s hard to stick to a schedule when ever day tosses in different surprises and hurdles.
This year is going to be a stressful year. MAJOR STRESS!!!!
Both of my kids are in high school this year. That means they need to get on the bus at the same time. We only have one bathroom for both kids to get ready for school and my husband to get ready for work. No matter how we try to plot it out we can never get the bathroom situation worked out. That means we’re either racing out the door so as not to miss the bus, or my kids are fighting with each other for valuable bathroom time.
I am NOT looking forward to that. I’m sure by the time they are off to school I’m going to be totally frazzled.
Another stressful thing about this year is that my daughter is a junior which means PSAT’s, college applications, and helping her figure out what she’s going to do when she graduates in 2015. I’m already beyond stressed over the cost of PSAT study classes – $325!!! I don’t know how I’m going to come up with that money.
I also have to worry about my son. He’s a freshman this year. He has a hard enough time with school. He’s socially awkward and tends to get behind in his classes. High school is so much different that elementary school and middle school. He’s in the big leagues now. I know I’m going to worry about him all the time, hoping that he fits in, makes some friends and can do well in school.
This year I am going to turn to Secret Clinical Strength Stress
Response Deodorant to help get me through all the stresses my kids going back to school are going to create. That is because Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Deodorant has the technology to traps and locks away odor to neutralize it and then releases a fresh scent. It’s far more effective than fragrance alone which sometimes can make matter worse, not better.
Did you know that there are three main causes of sweat? Heat and physical activity are the ones most people think about. But do you know what else causes sweat? You guessed it – STRESS!
Not only can stress cause you to sweat, it can also produce a really bad odor. That is because stress causes different glands to product the odor. When we sweat due to the heat or physical activity the sweat comes from the Eccrine sweat glands. They are made up mostly of water. Stress sweat on the other hand comes from both the Eccrine glands and the Apocrine glands. The Apocrine glands are larger than the Eccrine glands. They are concentrated in your underarms area. When you experience stress sweat these glands release a substance containing more protiein and lipids than the Eccrine glands which gives it a much stronger odor.
Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Deodorant is 4x more effective at protecting against stress sweat than regular strength deodarants.
I don’t know what is worse – the wetness or odor when you sweat. I’m leaning more towards odor. With wetness you can try and keep your arms down so no one notices. It’s hard to cover up an odor. You can temporarily cover it up with perfume or cologne, but what happens when that disappears? What you need to do is address the wetness and odor BEFORE it happens. That is why I like Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Deodorant. It doesn’t mask the problems (wetness, odor…) it actually takes care of it BEFORE it gets to that point so you can feel confident and fresh all day and not have to worry about embarrassing wetness or odor.
I like that Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Deodorant has as an applicator that ensures that you get the right amount under each arm. There is no guess work or worrying that you didn’t use enough. My kids tend to put way too much deodorant on.
I love the scent too. Secret Clinical Strength stress response deodorant is available in Serene Citrus and retails for around $7.99 – $9.99 for a 1.6 ounce container.
Secret Clinical Strength Stress Response Deodorant doesn’t only help protect you from wetness and odor – its triple action technology provides you with three layers of protection – prescription strength wetness protection, odor-fighting microcapsules, and skin soothing conditioners. Needless to say this is more than just your average deodorant.
So far I am enjoying the product. It’s been keeping me dry and odor free, even with having to deal with all the added stresses of having two kids in high school and one of them planning out her future. Not only that, having two teenagers in its self is stressful enough. Ha Ha. 🙂

Since you’re moving, would you consider having your son repeat a grade or go to a tech school?

Yes I agree starting of the school year is stressful. My youngest grandson started all day kindergarten this year. Well that was stressful as all – you worry of course just like yours going to high school – their going into a new stage of life. And of course we want to stay dry as can be on these days. I sweat alot any how so this is one product I will surely try. thanks
