Okay, real talk:
Ever slathered on deodorant like it was armor and still felt… off?
Girl, same. 🙋♀️😮💨
Let’s talk about the dumpster fire we don’t discuss ENOUGH:
How your inside-out self care (yeah, that’s a thing) decides how you smell like roses or regret.
Wanna smell amazing on the outside?
It starts with how you treat your body on the inside. ✅
Like for real.
Your gut, hydration, and what you eat low-key control your entire body odor system! 🙂↕️
Alright, let me spill the tea on the internal stuff that ACTUALLY makes you glow (and smell) like a human cinnamon roll. 👇
😮💨 Yeah, I Too Didn’t Give A Crap About Internal Hygiene.
In fact, I didn’t even know it existed! 😏
I used to think smelling good meant drowning myself in perfumes and scrubbing my pits raw.
Spoiler: That backfired harder than my middle school perm.
I used to think smelling good meant drowning myself in perfumes and scrubbing my pits raw.
Back then, puberty hit me like a freight train carrying expired cheese, and no amount of “fancy” products saved me from smelling like a stressed raccoon by 3 PM.
But here’s the secret:
Self care isn’t just bubble baths and sheet masks.
Real glow starts from the inside. 💯
It’s your gut, your water intake, even that cranberry juice you’ve been side-eyeing.
So Here's Your New Self Care Starter Pack: 👇
1️⃣ Chlorophyll Water – Nature’s Deodorant (Yes, Really)
Chlorophyll water is the ultimate detox, it does SO much:
🦠 It neutralizes odors from within (at the molecular level),
✔️ Detoxes your liver (bye, hangover breath),
✨ Clears up acne, (giving you glass skin without the 10-step routine),
❄️ And make your breath minty fresh without gum.
It’s like a magic green potion–all the good stuff!
Seriously, try
Pro Tip
If that chlorophyll water tastes a little ‘meh,’ squeeze in some lemon for an instant flavor glow-up! 🍋
The zesty tang makes it way more refreshing and actually kinda enjoyable to sip.
My hot take: Add mint leaves and pretend you’re a fancy witch. 🧙♀️😉
2️⃣ Girl, Please Drink Your Freaking Water.
Hydration is non-negotiable!
Just 10 cups a day—I swear it’ll make such a difference, the annoyance is worth it.
And when I say “a cup,” I mean a full 8 oz, okay? No loopholes, no half-assing it.
You know you’ve tried to cheat this before… 🙂↔️
But just stick with it and your skin/energy/mood will thank you. 🙌
I used to “hydrate” like a cactus in a drought—sipping just enough to survive.
Then I learned:
10 cups of water daily = odor control ON LOCK.
And here’s why:
Water flushes out toxins.
Dehydration = concentrated sweat = *ew*.
Dry skin traps bacteria.
Pro Tip
Chug a glass first thing in the morning.
Set reminders on your phone labeled "DRINK WATER OR DIE".
Or get one of those giant motivational water bottles that shame you into drinking.
3️⃣ Unsweetened Cranberry Juice is Your Fav Juice Now
I know you’ve heard that cranberry juice helps with… ahem… making things smell fresher down there. 👇👀
But guess
It’s low-key a superhero for your body!
Seriously, it keeps your vaginal pH balanced,
In fact, it balances pH EVERYWHERE,
Fights off UTIs,
Fights inflammation
Boosts immunity,
And keeps your gut happy.
But heads up: If you’re gonna drink it, get the natural stuff.
The sugary
Total waste, defeating the whole purpose!
4️⃣ Okay, Pls Tell Me Why You've Been Ignoring Your Gut Health ~AKA~The Self Care Game Changer?
Like be for real.
Your gut is basically the control center for EVERYTHING:
Your skin's glow level,
Whether your breath could wilt flowers,
Even your mood.
And the easiest way to start fixing it?
Probiotics,
Prebiotics,
And postbiotics.
(AKA the “good bacteria” squad).
I used to only take probiotics ’cause I had zero clue what pre- and postbiotics even were.
Turns out, you need all three 🙂↕️—they’re like the ultimate gut-healing trio.
Here’s the tea:
I found this brand called Ritual.
They’re all about women’s health, which I love. 🫶
They got this 3-in-1 prebiotic, probiotic, and postbiotic combo called Synbiotic+ for Gut Health—for THE SAME PRICE I used to pay for JUST probiotics.
Girl, I was
And it’s been a game-changer since then.
I bloat way less now, even though I’ll never give up carbs (sorry, but pasta is life 😉).
But wait, there’s more!
They’re designed to dissolve as soon as they hit your colon—y’know, the perfect spot for probiotics to thrive. ✔️
And that’s why I keep coming back to Ritual’s supplements.
They work crazy fast!
Plus, you don’t have to:
Fridge them,
Or take ’em with food.
They’re shelf-safe, no-meal-needed. ✔️
I keep mine by my bed—no more forgetting!
Oh, and Ritual’s subscription-based, so I don’t procrastinate reordering (IYKYK 😒).
My gut was a MESS a few years back.
Stress,
Crappy eating,
Antidepressants.
It all wrecked me. 😖
I felt like my body was falling apart, and my hygiene?
Let’s not even go there.
But RITUAL Synbiotic+ cleaned up my diet (RIP, daily fast food 🙏), and saved me.
Now, my gut’s happier, and everything else improved too.
5️⃣ Eating Balanced = Smelling Fresher. Trust!
Yes, your body literally secretes the smells of the food you eat.
Like, it is DIRECTLY affected by what you eat.
Girl, you are what you eat (literally)!
Okay, this is kinda gross.
But back when I was religiously eating those Buldak ramen packs? 🍜
I swear you could sh*t smell me from a mile away! 🤧
So yeah, eating a healthy mix of protein, carbs, fruits, and veggies really helps tone that odor down.
Trust me, your pits (and everyone around you) will thank you. 💯
Eat This
- 🥗 More greens (kale won’t judge your life choices)
- 🍱 Balanced meals (carbs aren’t the enemy—just pair ’em smart)
- 🍿 Less processed crap (RIP, neon-orange snacks)
(✅ Grilled chicken, fresh berries, leafy greens,…)
Not That
- 🌶️ Spicy food = spicy sweat
- 🧄 Garlic = vampire-proof armpits
- 🍔 Fast food = slow-mo odor bomb
(❌ Nuclear-hot instant ramen, gas station burritos, cheese dust-covered snacks,…)
Your pores literally sweat out what you eat.
Choose wisely unless you want to smell like walking kimchi.
