Over the holidays I needed to stop at the drugstore to load up on some pocket things. As time goes by and my joints are slowly falling apart, I find ibuprofen to be a necessary carry-on. However, I work in a place where if the health inspector found medicine in my backpack, I could get in trouble. So, I have secret stashes. (A film canister deeply hidden in the bag and an SD card holder in my…. Wait. You’re going to rat me out, aren’t you? I thought we were friends!)
Also, I needed another chapstick. Did you know that they make little chapsticks? Little ones!
Then, I needed another deodorant for my tiny toiletry bag, but the travel size containers have such giant, space-wasting lids. What is up with that?
I trimmed it down.
Dissatisfied, I trimmed it down further.
I think I might have a problem.

I never thought of that…..what a waste of plastic! Only you would have the geniusness (its a word)to cut some off. Way to go!

Maybe that cap is so tall so you can roll the deodorant stick way up and reach those hard-to-get areas under your arm.

That reminds me of some thing I saw a long time ago about the different ways women use lipstick. Something like this: http://www.martinarmand.com/Lipstick_Shapes.html It’s total bunk.
I am, however, keen on keeping a chapstick out about 1/8th of an inch and keeping the top flat. When kids bring chapsticks they have them out about an inch and apply them all over their mouth regions. (Chins and cheeks are liberally salved.) They basically want to eat them.
