I Feel Weird Admitting this Beauty Secret But I Need to Share It With Someone

So, I’m old. Or at least Tiktok continues to enforce and reinforce the fact I’m old because they keep serving me up these old commercial complications featuring toys, makeup, and even fast food from my youth. And I don’t know if I’m feeling nostalgic or downright weird, but I’m sort of obsessed with watching them! I’ve already confessed that I can spend hours watching old vintage makeup commercials on youTube. And now I’m equally obsessed with fast food ones, toy ones, etc…

You may or may not know this about, but I’m a huge fan of Donovan (He follows me on Twitter! Just throwing out my claim to fame for you! Also, I met him twice, and it was brilliant!). The man is a legend and a study of how great music can come from the recreational use of psychedelic drugs. I’m entirely joking; please don’t get offended. He references somewhat indirectly his LSD usage in his lyrics. You can’t run around creating songs like Yellow Mellow and not think they aren’t related to some trippy moment in your life. We all know it wasn’t meditation that had you feeling all yellow mellow. In all seriousness, I am a rather big fan of his music and I’m not quite old enough to remember the commercials but his music was featured in a lot of Love Commercials. Love’s Fresh Lemon and for example. I remember my sister used Love’s Baby Soft! A few years ago I tried to recreate that memory and purchased a bottle but it doesn’t smell AT ALL the way it did back then! Dana is still around and selling fragrances. Crazy world, right?

But anyway, I digress and I feel weird admitting this beauty secret to you but I recently saw one of those retro commercial reels on Tiktok and they featured this deodorant and wow, I forgot how much I loved it and now I miss it.

Teen Spirit. Teen Spirit Deodorant. What a blast from the beauty past! I don’t know how weird it is to say this, but I used it well into my twenties. It was awesome. Not only did it keep me dry but I loved the fruity scents. A glance at amazon.com shows that people are selling cases of it. I can’t promise I won’t attempt to buy it, but I will try it out and see if it’s as great as it once was! I mean, this could replace Secret Va Va Vanilla Deodorant for me!

Technically, Teen Spirit was around a few years ago. Walmart used to carry it as I recall but it’s disappeared off shelves a while back ago. Maybe a trip to the Dollar Store will reveal some hidden treasure trove of old Teen Spirit deo sticks.

Until we meet again, Teen Spirt Deodorant, you’ll be forever in my heart.

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.

    That is so cool that you’ve met Donovan and that he follows you on Twitter! “Catch the Wind” is one of my all time favorite songs. I too love to watch the old or older cosmetics commercials on YouTube. They were much more fun than the boring perfume /cologne ads I see today.

      He’s really a lovely! His concerts are always such a joy to go too as he always does a story time on each of his songs so you really learn a lot about the inspiration of the lyrics, where he was in life when he wrote the song, etc…! Just a kind, humble man. Catch the Wind is a lovely song! He has a little Bob Dylan going on in that song haha! Agreed! Prefer them over Cardi B trying to sell me NYX LOL!

    I have never been on TikTok! It has never appealed to me for whatever reason. I DO love watching old cosmetic commercials however. And old clips from old Soap Operas that I used to watch with my mom.

      it’s a great time waster LOL! But seriously, it can be fun and some of the deals are good! Oh my gosh yes! My sis is a long time Days of our Lives fan girl and I always see clips and whoa, brings me back!
