Open Discussion: Sibling Rivalry

A few days ago, a close friend and I were discussing sibling rivalry.   Where does is stem from?  How is it learned?  In both our families, and hopefully most others, it certainly isn't taught.  And if it isn't widely taught, why is it clearly visible no matter where you travel in the world?  Certainly children crave attention and strive to get noticed by mom and dad, but I find that the majority of arguments in our family have nothing to do with my getting my attention.  At a younger age, I'm sure the egocentric mind plays a major role in sibling rivalry. "I" am the most important person and therefore, "I" should always get my way.  Young minds simply cannot comprehend any differently.  But as the children grow, so does the rivalry.  I know without a doubt that my girls and my friends' girls love each other 100%, but they can go at it like they are enemies.  For a parent, this can be stressful and irritating.  But unfortunately, sibling rivalry is here to stay.  Where do you think sibling rivalry stems from?  What are your thoughts on controlling it?  Grab a latte, put up your feet, and join the discussion!

Certain Dri Solid Anti-Perspirant Review and Giveaway

Despite the fact that perspiration is not a fun topic to discuss, it is something that we all have to deal with.  No one wants to walk around with sweat rings on their shirts.  And we definitely don't want to want to scare people away with our odor.  Certain Dri Solid Anti-perspirant is a colorless, fragrance free and has been categorized as safe and effective in the ongoing review of non-prescription drugs by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  To my surprise, Certain Dri is used differently than your typical deodorant/anti-perspirant.   By applying Certain Dri several night a week, you can control your perspiration.   This water based solid will not wash off during your morning shower and will continue to work throughout the day.  After using the unscented solid, I was completely surprised that my underarms remained dry during my 5 miles morning run.  And with my sensitive skin, I was very happy that I didn't get any irritation from using it.

About the Product:
  • The product is specially-formulated to provide everyday, all-day dryness for those who suffer from excessive underarm perspiration.
  • Certain Dri® Solid Anti-Perspirant contains 25% aluminum sesquichlorohydrate (Anhydrous). It is the only over-the-counter antiperspirant with this ingredient, which is more effective than the aluminum zirconium formula found in over-the-counter solid antiperspirants that are labeled “clinical strength.” 
  • Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant is available with 12 percent aluminum chloride, the active ingredient used in prescription anti-perspirants. Because Certain Dri® is water-based (vs. alcohol-based like its prescription competitors), it is available without a doctor’s prescription.   

Buy It:  Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant is available in mass-market retail, supermarkets and drug stores nationwide. Each product is sold separately for the suggested retail price of $5.50. 

Win It:  One reader of Between the Lines will win a Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant Solid.  To enter, simply tell me who you'd like to win this for.  Please include your email address so I can contact you if you win.
