Hair Removal.

My beaten up and abused legs can speak for themselves when they say that shaving was never a skill I was able to master. Due to the fact that I inherited my father’s dark thick Italian hair I was able to do in-depth research in this area. Or just try every form of hair removal available, because in today’s society, smooth legs are the norm. Heck, from head to toe, everything is expected to be smooth now-a-days. Both men and women use various forms of hair removal to treat their unwanted hair. Due to the high demand, the possibilities for hair removal are endless.

While learning to shave, the trails of blood between the bathrooms to my bedroom on the hardwood floor never made my mother too happy. The styles of razors have changed drastically since my mother started shaving in the 70’s with a standard blade. Forget shaving with a razor and soap, now razors are built into a bar of soap. No slip grip, extra blades and soothing pads – all made for your comfort and convenience. And that’s what shavings all about, convenience. I’m talking about being able to shave when, how and what parts of your body you want to. Lets not forget that you are in the privacy of your own home, which is also very appealing.
The competition between razor companies seems to be based on who can produce the most blades for a razor to have the “closest shave ever”. Bologna. If your hair grows quickly not even 23 blades could keep your skin silky smooth. Just as convenient as shaving is, it can also be inconvenient for some. The upkeep of shaving can be very tedious depending on how quickly your hair grows. I know for a fact I used to be the girl whose hair grew within hours of shaving it. Did I say hours? I meant minutes.

Wax. Good old wax. Warm, relaxing, soothing, until it is ripped right off your skin taking every hair follicle with it! HOLY COW does that hurt! Warning: it will hurt ten times more when being torn from your who-ha - trust me on that. The cost may be more than buying a pack of razors but the smooth feeling is guaranteed to last longer then your basic shave. A specific length of time I cannot give you, but it will most likely be weeks as opposed to minutes, while avoiding razor burn.

The ever popular and easy to apply Nair is used to unclog your hair from the follicles as Draino is used to unclog your backed up sinks. As unpleasant as this metaphor is, the two products do the same job. Nair requires no sharp objects or hot wax so burns and bleeding can fortunately be avoided. Nair does the job no doubt about it, but if you are considering using this product you should first take into consideration the chemicals you are putting on your skin. Can you even pronounce potassium thioglycolate? What the heck is that?

There are plenty of other ways to remove the hair for your body. There is the made for TV product, Smooth Away, Electrolysis and of course you could always rely on an ever handy pair of tweezers, for smaller areas of course.

Next week I will be giving you a closer look at laser hair removal. Which is the hair removal treatment that personally changed my life. Yes, believe it or not, stopping my hair growth did change my life. I adore my doctor, William Song at Omni Health Professionals, LCC in Oakland, NJ. He is worth the trip, whether you are traveling 30 minutes or across the seven seas give him a call at 201-368-3800 or visit him at www.Omnihealthpro.com. You have got nothing to loose except your unwanted hair that is.

I did a testimonial for him - take a look. Stay tuned for next week for when I give you a closer look at Laser Hair Removal.

Boobies.

You will do anything in your power to make them noticeable. Why wouldn’t you? Boobies are a significant part of the female body. You want them out and ready to draw attention. They impact many things - the outfits you buy, the bras you purchase and even the necklaces you wear.

Even though a tremendous amount of women are using plastic surgery to fix their so-called imperfections, there are plenty of solutions for women who want to avoid the knife. Here are just a few: push up bras, low cut tops and, even the newest addition to non-surgical breast enhancing products, the Strap Perfect. Still, if you are a woman who wants to work with what they’ve got - read on.

There is a wide variety of boobs from "Big Mama’s" to "Little Babies". My friends fill every part of that spectrum; we even have a few uneven pairs in our group. No boobs are bad some are just… different. As you read in Jeans, my butt is nothing short of extremely difficult to shop around. Thankfully, I was cut a break with my boobies, I am satisfied. Between my girls, and me I have the experience of styling for every type of breast.

Whether you have big boobies or small boobies, they all must be supported with a proper “over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder.” Here is the bra breakdown starting with the recently popular bandeau.

Bandeaus are comfy, but the wrong style can totally deform your breasts; creating cone boobs or uni-boob – I’ve seen it all. Victoria’s Secret sells a form-friendly bandeau for the larger booby shopper.

Next, up we have the push-up. Most girls believe they need to use a push up. You think this makes you look sexy? Not Always!! A push-up on a woman with large breast is the very last thing you want. It leaves you looking like you have a shelf for your chin to rest on, very, very unnecessary. A basic lift is an additional option for women who want a little oomph in their brazier. It's always an option and will leave you looking perky.

Between racer backs, sports bras and bandeaus, you can find a bra that fits your needs. Embrace your boobies ladies, they belong to you… just do it in a classy way.

I offer this advice because in the up and down world the fashion necklines we have entered into a deep downward phase. Don’t use fashion to disrespect yourself. Your entire booby does not need to be showing - a little cleavage goes a long way.

SPECIAL ALERT#1 !!! The peak-a-boo nipple is definitely something that needs to be avoided. There is a very fine line between sexy and slutty when dressing your lovely lady lumps. Your nipple does not need to be fully exposed for men to realize that you have ta-tas.

SPECIAL ALERT #2 !!! I would like to also bring up the fraternal twins that is when your boobies are noticeably different sizes. If this relates to you, you must know it is perfectly normal. Yet, you’re not alone. So much so that www.shopfruit.com, which was recently featured in O Magazine, has designed a bra for you. Fruit of the Loom has started this line that enables you to piece together the right cup and left cup sizes that breast fit your needs. It caters to all shapes and sizes - everything from Basically B to Almost C.

Okay enough about jugs, cans and sweater meat. (Sorry girls. That was for all the guys who read this blog.)

Ta-tas for now!
