How Bizarre

I've always said I wish there was a product to protect my shirts from underarm sweat. That, and I really don't like pitting out at dinner, etc. So over the past few years, I've actually investigated producing something for men - an underarm protector. And in the meantime, to make do, I cut out small patches of ladies tampons for the protection I need.

Well, a few months back I discovered "dress shields" do exist. Small companies offer them online. But unfortunately, I didn't order them in time to arrive when we visit Chicago and Mexico this week and next. So, I gave up my search.

Now here's where it gets odd. I thought about the product again last night. And today, while I was watching the Rachel Ray show, she highlighted a product sold at Nordstroms nationwide called Garment Guard. Then, my friend Paul sent me an email about the falling Euro, that it was good we were going to Mexico, and that he also would need a set of those "tampon" protectors I make since the temperature is hovering around 80 degrees. Again, the whole series of events is quite bizarre.

Needless to say, since Chris and I are shopping in the burbs on Friday, I'm planning a stop at Nordstrom's to look for the Garment Guard. They're available in two colors and two sizes: tan and black, regular and large. Here's to hoping they have regular black and tan in stock. Because in the words of Monrose (a girl group from Germany), "It's gonna be a hot summer, a hot, hot summer." (Check out the video below).
