We could all do with a few more things in life. Love and happiness are the obvious ones, but I’d also like to include body positivity in there. In an effort to encourage us all to be more body positive, I previously discussed some of the negative things we think about our bodies. I talked about things we should stop thinking about our boobs. Now, I want to talk about body hair. Body hair is a completely normal thing. The vast majority of people who go through puberty will have it. It’s not something you have to remove or feel ashamed about it. If you want to remove it,…

I’ve cared about my body and facial hair for so long that I don’t remember a time when I didn’t care about it. Puberty hit me like a derailed train; one minute I was this hairless little human without a care about a razor in a world, and the next minute–some summer–I was in my bathroom with a razor, disgusted at the hair that sprouted in my armpit. Whether it’s the gentle nudging of a family member, noticing the nasty things people say about the hairy girl behind her back on the playground, or an epiphany of our own making thanks to the images society has ingrained into our skulls,…

We talk a lot about removing our body hair and all of the interesting methods you can try to de-fuzz, from shaving cream to coconut oil to, uh, stranger tips. Oatmeal and lemon juice, anyone? However, one thing that doesn’t come up quite as much in body hair convos is growing it out. I’ve spent a lot of time chatting with my friends about the ways to make a waxing session less painful, but I don’t ever recall discussing what happens when you grow out body hair. The closest things have come when someone announces they’ve stopped shaving their legs in the winter, and we all agree. When…

I love Pinterest a whole lot. I like its many healthy and photogenic salmon recipes, and I respect that it is a site that hosts both food-based “miracle” face masks and memes that still use Impact font in equal quantities. I do not, however, understand many of the things it has to offer all that well–for example, a pin I found the other day that promised to remove unwanted hair forever simply by using a paste made of oatmeal, lemon juice, and honey. It sounded so crazy that I obviously had to try it out myself. Wouldn’t you? As far as DIYs go, this one is absurdly easy. Its premise is…
