    thank you granny! So glad you are back.

    Did I mention I am on a beauty austerity plan, like doing my own mani and pedi etc? Well I also decided to stop getting waxed on my legs and just do a shave. I was undecided about my arm pits so I let them go for awhile. When I say awhile I mean like 6 weeks. I know have armpit hair that is like 2 inches long. I'm scared to shave it. I contemplated using nose hair trimmers to whack off most of it first but if i do that in the shower I might hurt the nose hair trimmers.

    It's so gross I can believe I am mentioning it. maybe I could use this as an ode (not odour) to feminism. Help

    :rotfl::rotfl:Have you tried hair removing cream to clear the excess? Then you can shave or try an epilator as Granny suggests. The epilator will pay for itself in no time at all. Having said that I only use mine on my legs, I'm not sure of the pain levels for underarms :eek:

    I have had white hair since I was 20 and people always ask me if I colour it this way. I am like are you kidding me. So my head looks like a white fuzzy tennis ball and the rest of me is covered with fur.

    Piq I just sent you a photo to your email.

    Take no notice of her. She is beautiful! I admit in the photo you can't see her underarms.... but the face of an angel!
