When it comes to staying fresh, deodorant is your number one savior. To put it bluntly, you'll feel super gross without it. So make sure you use a long-lasting deodorant stick like Dove Go Sleeveless Soothing Chamomile Deodorant, $3.99.
Also, it might seem weird, but to get the most out of your deodorant, you should always apply it at night. This lets the deodorant soak into your skin and help fight odor the next day (but there's no harm in doing another swipe in the morning if you want).

Liven Up Your Hair With Dry Shampoo
If you haven't heard of dry shampoo before, you'll thank us later. This ingenious product is perfect for when you don't have time to shower. Instead of pulling your hair back into a greasy ponytail, simply spritz dry shampoo on your roots and it will instantly make it look like you have freshly washed hair.
Just make sure you hold the can 6 to 8 inches away and focus on the scalp and roots when spraying. You don't want to get too much on the length of your hair, because that will dry it out. And always use your fingers or a brush to work the product in, especially if you have dark hair, otherwise you might end up with a gray-ish cast on your hair.
And if you're worried about your hair sticking to your neck on a warm day, stash a few hair elastics and bobby pins in your bag. That way you can do a quick top knot, fishtail, or braid on the fly.
Sure, winter has its perks: there are holidays, weekend skip trips, and peppermint hot chocolate. But those things get old after a while, and come February the season loses its magic. After months of scraping ice off our car windshields, we're totally ready for winter to be over and spring to finally arrive.
Luckily the new season is right around the corner and we can finally shed a layer (or two) and enjoy the warmer temps. But before we start celebrating the fact that we can pack away our wool coat in mothballs, there is one downside to warmer weather we've got to acknowledge: sweat.
Yup, that little five letter word that leaves us slick and smelly -- not exactly cute. But we're not going to let it bring us down. Instead, we've come up with our favorite tips and tricks for battling spring's warmer temperatures and staying fresh all day long.
