The reality is even worse than the article makes it out to be. Get married while both are disabled and they will cut both your benefits, pay and medical, they will try to trick you into saying you are married or force common law marriage on you at every turn. It makes getting food stamps harder, it cuts the amount of care giving each person can get even if they have separate needs, and god forbid you need a new (to you) vehicle or place to live because you can’t save up enough to make that happen. It’s a nightmare where one clerk at a doctors office can put down spouse and ruin their lives and lead to one or both dying.
The men’s section at bath and bodyworks has some great smelling ones that work great and since a little goes a long way a bottle usually lasts me months. Pair that with an exfoliating poofy or whatever it’s called and it does a fantastic job, doesn’t leave a strong scent and does wonders for my skin.
For deodorant I use arm & hammer essentials. Works great, no aluminum parabens or phthalates, isn’t overpowering or super smelly like Old Spice and doesn’t cause any skin reactions.
