This kid...he's getting to be so grown up! Now when I look at him it's hard to believe that he's that same little boy with the big hair (just like abuelitas) and the big smile who could not put down his toys. Now what he can't put down is his cell phone. They grow up way too quickly don't they?
Watching him grow has definitely been interesting, especially seeing the changes that have taken place in just a span of a few years. He went from hating to brush his teeth, we literally had to stand at the sink and watch him brush every morning and night, to now waiting for him in the car each morning because he refuses to leave without also rinsing. Now he is all about the fresh breath.
He also went from being so-so about showers to showering daily and always making sure he smells good. He's been using AXE products since last year and has a few favorite scents. Plus he lives for the days that his uniform school allows them free dress day, so he can wear his cool clothes and show off some of his personal style.
Because he has an affinity for AXE products, I am always on the lookout for a good deal to keep him stocked up. His favorite scent is AXE Phoenix, which he uses in the entire range: Antiperspirant Deodorant, 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner, Body Wash and the Body Spray. Plus with the current Ralphs digital offer, I grabbed him a Body Spray in the NEW AXE Gold scent, for some mixing and matching.

I think AXE has actually played a pretty big role in Angel becoming more responsible when it comes to his personal care. It was about a year ago when he got his first AXE products, with his own personal shower caddie filled with shower goodies, that he really began to enjoy being a more cleaner and better version of himself.
If you're struggling with a teen who needs a little bit of guidance when it comes to hygiene, giving them a shower caddie filled with personal care products might just give them that boost they need. It doesn't even have to be the Body Spray -- you can start off with the Antiperspirant Deodorant, 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner and the Body Wash (Angel's favorite).
Hey, if all it takes is a body wash to get teen boys into a shower, then let's buy them oodles and oodles of them.
If your son has a school gym or sports bag, then don't forget to stock up doubles. Angel doesn't leave the house without a deodorant in his backpack.
Angel still has a lot of growing up to do and I'm sure the ride is going to be even more interesting to watch from now on. Bring on the teen angst and grumpy behavior that is common in teenagers. At least we can feel good knowing that he smells good as he takes all those twist and turns that teen life is made up of.
It's easy to help #InspireHisStyle by stocking up on his AXE favorites, especially when a good deal comes long like the Save $2.00 on 2 (currently at Ralphs). What are some of your sons favorite AXE products?
