I think I have a birthday party mental block.

For the last probably 10 years,

I have refused to throw myself a birthday party.

And this year was no different.

I just turned 23, and I made the decision that once again I was not

going to throw myself a birthday party and it is kind of weird because I actually

enjoy birthday parties. I love going to other people's birthday parties.

Love like when it comes up on the calendar I get excited. Like when someone

text me and says, hey next week I'm having a birthday party. I'm elated.

Elated. I love birthday parties. I really do. But my God, do I hate throwing one for

myself?

So choose Dove advanced care deodorant.
