One mistake I always feel bad for making anytime it happens is not using my perfume or body spray before stepping out of the house. I always feel bad each time I remember I forgot to use my deodorant.
One thing I have come to understand is that once you start using a good body deodorant and it grows on you, there is no turning back because you will always feel uncomfortable without it. Right now, getting perfume or body spray is now part of the basic things I need to get.
Let's rewind back to 2019, when I took deodorant seriously. I was working at a pension firm. It is a cooperative organisation and the first one I ever worked for. What I do mostly is just rub my cream and off to the office; after all, my body cream smells nice. This is what most people think. The fact is, my body cream is not a perfume, nor is it a body spray. Everything was going well until my boss got me three deodorants and asked me to always put them on when coming to work.
I don't know if I should feel grateful to him or embarrassed. After the deodorant was about to finish, I went to get another one myself, and that was the beginning of me spending fortunes on deodorant.
I know there are people who don't take how they smell serious, and they feel offended when people try to talk to them about it. If I were to have a friend like that who smells terrible, there are ways to go about it.
One thing people should understand is that "when trying to correct a person, you don't start off with condemning the person."
If such an approach is used to solve a problem, the problem might never be solved. If I were to solve that issue, I'd do the same thing my previous boss did for me. I'll just get them deodorant of different kinds as a gift. Everyone appreciates gifts, whether they are small or big. A gift is a good, and as long as the gift is presented the right way with the right manner and approach, it will definitely be appreciated.
After using it for a month or so and people continue to compliment how good they smell, even if they can't afford the expensive ones, they would go for something cheaper but something that makes them smell good too.
Currently, the price of deodorant is skyrocketing, and the hyperinflation in the country's economy is affecting the price of the smallest goods. The deodorant I could comfortably purchase two or three before has been made impossible. Right now, I buy one perfume, a very strong one (24 hours), one body spray (Riggs the Black Veriant), and one body oil (forgotten the name). The three combos are always good to go. Use them in small portions, and you'll smell like an angel for the rest of the day.
Tell no one of my secrets. Thanks for reading.

I love the fact that your boss took action rather than condemning you. You shouldn't feel embarrassed..some people use actions to speak rather than, guy you are not smelling nice oo 😂
It's good to do something that even us will feel confidence while mingling with people
🤣🤣🤣
Exactly
It is what it is
You just reminded me of when I was first introduced to perfume. The person actually did what your boss did for you back then. Now, even if it's my money for food, I'd still spend it on perfume if I don't have any.
Food will come
Perfume is personal
