Ever feel like you’re going crazy, so you make yourself look even crazier in trying to figure out if you are, in fact, imagining something?

I bought these blade guards off Amazon a few weeks ago – Tydyz Melon Universal Hard Guards.

A pait of skates with pink marbled blade guards on.

The last few times I’ve gone into my skate bag, I catch a whiff of … Sunscreen?

There is no sunscreen in my bag.

After asking a couple of fellow skaters to smell my hard guards, we determined that I am not, in fact, hallucinating: my blade guards smell like coconut.

A middle aged figure skater smelling a pair of blade guards and looking annoyed.

Is that a thing?

I certainly didn’t see “scented” on the listing when I bought it, but there it is – a reference to the ability to buy UNSCENTED, in a different listing.

I don’t get the point of scented guards, but hey… Mystery solved.

Hey, I'm Marie!

I skated as a kid, and have been making the long, rough road back as an adult.

This time, I have a husband to drag along with me :)

I started back in early 2019, and ran into dual roadblocks in 2020 - the pandemic, and being severely crippled by FOUR PILLS of Ciprofloxacin - an antibiotic that destroyed most of the tendons in both of my feet.

Oh, and pancreatic cancer. Fun stuff.

I've learned to walk again, and in October 2021, I started back. Again.

Here's where I'll chronicle the whole mess!
