"If I Were A..."

So I was going back through old blog posts, getting rid of shitty content and generally cleaning things up a bit when I came across this post. I thought it would be fun to update with what I would be now, almost two years later.

-If I were a month I would be: October. (still the same answer)
-If I were a day of the week I would be: Thursday. I really have no reason for this. I just feel like a Thursday. (also the same) -If I were a time of day I would be: Sunset (I have too many early mornings now to want to be sunrise) -If I were a planet I would be: Mars (same. God of War. Always angry. Me.) -If I were an article of clothing: A pair of thick, warm, fuzzy socks (the blanket of clothing) -If I were a direction I would be: West (I'm dreaming of the west coast lately) -If I were a piece of furniture I would be: A chaise lounge (a little antiquated, a little uncomfortable, but oh so luxe)

Try Dry.

As an Influenster, I occasionally get sent products to try and review. I got sent Degree's new dry spray deodorant AGES ago and I'm just now getting around to review it. There are reasons for that. 

The reasons are I don't wear deodorant too often (ewww) and I like to properly test items before I review them. I don't like wearing deodorant because most of the chemicals don't seem to interact well with my body's natural chemistry and makes me smell even worse. I also find they don't really stop me from sweating. 

The Fresh Energy scent isn't too overpowering and doesn't actually make me stink, which is a plus! I also like the spray application. It doesn't leave my underarms wet. I can immediately put clothes on or I can spray it on under the short I already have on without it marking up my clothes! I find it works about as well as a normal Degree deodorant (which is my deodorant of choice anyhow). Keeps me dry up to a point. I might purchase it again, but I'm doing my best to go completely cruelty-free, so I'm looking into other deodorant options. 

However, if that's not something you worry about (and I promise that's not as judge-y as it seems) I'd recommend this. Like I said, it works just as well as normal stick deodorants, but applies completely dry. And it doesn't actually touch your pits, which is a huge advantage over stick deodorant!

Guess Who's Back?

ME!!! 

Well, it's not like I went anywhere, but I just got out of blogging and focused on Instagram more (be sure to follow me there, btw - @champagnetastesbeerbudget). But I'm getting back in the business! And I need your help. What sort of stuff would you like to see? Reviews, obviously, but is there anything else? I've been toying with the idea of starting a youtube channel for reviews/hauls, but EVERYONE and their mother's dog has a channel. Plus I don't know if I'd be able to listen to the sound of my voice that long.

So I want your opinions. Leave a comment about the sort of content you'd like to see from me. It can be anything. Seriously. I might not do it, but I appreciate all input.

PS - I was just looking back at previous posts and I noticed I came back from another hiatus around this time last year. I suck! But I really want to do better, so please help me.
