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!

Pit Stains.

Whether you admit it or not, everyone at one time or another has suffered. Once they have surfaced there is no turning back. They are embarrassing for everyone, the victim and all who have to witness. Craving all the attention in the room - everyone stares. Like the new student in class or the pregnant girl, looking away is not an option. They have made their mark… or should I say stain.

Pit stain to be more exact. High school is the worst time for pit stains. Scratch that - there is no good time for pit stains. Picture this: you are sitting in a cool room, not too hot, not too cold, and yet somehow you are sweating; it’s like the 8th world wonder. Anyone, any age, anywhere can get these lovely moist marks. The worst part about these damp dark circles under your arms is that once they have arrived they refuse to leave, kind of like the worst guest at your party. I fortunately can give all you sweaty ladies some hope with a hand full of ways to curb yourself from hyperhidrosis. By the way, I hope you are not wearing grey.

Step down overactive sweat glands.

We will have to start simple, and I am not talking about standing with both hands on your hips hoping for some “natural ventilation”. Lets get real, similar to the way fanning yourself with papers doesn’t actually cool you down, natural ventilation doesn’t work either. So lets find something that does work, and this may come as a shock to you – but it’s not deodorant. When you say, “I need to buy deodorant”, more likely than not your purchasing antiperspirant. Unless you are Mathew McConaughey, who hasn’t worn either in twenty years. Google it.

Anywho, lets break this down: deodorant is used to fight the odor. Antiperspirant is used to fight perspiration. If you sweat a lot or just need to control your sweating, begin with an antiperspirant. If a standard antiperspirant does not work there are plenty of other options, and sticking a panty liner under your pits is not one of my solutions. As you now understand there is a huge difference between deodorant and antiperspirant. The last thing a woman who sweats wants to buy is a basic deodorant. Deodorant is actually a whole other ball game; smelly chicks will have to wait for a later blog.

The next step to curing sweaty pits would be your physician. Don’t be embarrassed this is the doctor who has probably seen your who-ha (for those who don’t personally know me, that means vagina) and if not, they have absolutely seen you far from your finest hour. When I talked to my doctor, he prescribed Drysol. This made it possible for me to answer questions in Ms. Sherwood’s seventh period history class. Drysol is a strong liquid antiperspirant, applied once a day. There are other medical options similar to Drysol but I am no doctor so contact yours for further information and or other methods.

Lets talk extreme for a minute, and by extreme I’m talking cash money. Lets talk Botox, this is a very expensive option. Just like regular Botox, it lasts around six months. If you truly suffer from hyperhidrosis and you have the money you may want to consider this method. Before Lindsay Lohan was sporting her fabulous orange jumpsuit, she was rumored to be one of the celebrities who went this route. LiLo got Botox in her underarms to temporarily stop her sweat glands.

Excessive sweating is embarrassing, some doctors told me that most people grow out of the stage. We can blame it on those dang hormones; right there along with pimples and mood swings. There are plenty of brands that make antiperspirants, try, try again, and try another, until you find the brand that works for you. I believe this blog will help you make a triumphant leap towards dry pits. Who knows, you may soon be able to raise your arms above 90 degrees.

Jeans.

Women, like wolves, have been known to travel in packs; to the bathroom, on the dance floor and certainly to gossip. Together, females swap funny, interesting and even embarrassing stories. For most women, hearing stories of hardship and discomfort relieve the “its not only me” syndrome. The strong feelings that women share with each other can range from something as serious as wanting a happier marriage or simply wishing that a size six will one day fasten comfortably.

The exhausting act of shopping for jeans is something to which most women can relate. I personally could write a book about my experiences. I chose instead to write a blog. Unless you are a twelve-year-old girl or a woman with no curves what so ever, jean shopping is no walk in the park. Whoever said slipping on a pair of skinny jeans was easy - was seriously disturbed.

Let’s start with the waist. Many jeans do not actually reach a women’s waist anymore. Yet if and when they do, they are considered to be “old fashion” or the untrendy “mom jeans”. OK, times change, and so do styles, understandable. The waistline went down… well so did the economy, be frugal with money people not the waistline of my pants!

The fact that most jeans on the market are uncomfortably low makes them truly unbearable to sit in. The constant act of pulling your shirt lower and lower in the back to make sure your panties are not showing is irritating, actually it makes my blood boil. On the other hand there are those lovely ladies who opt out of covering their bare bum as their jeans fall, Vomit! Yet, the problems do not end in the rear. The front zipper rarely lies neatly on a woman. While we are in this region lets talk about the infamous camel toe. Did I say vomit, yet? Gross. So you think, lets fix it. You buy the next size up. Now you are left with the very public crotch pocket that causes a dreadful sag that inevitably leaves you looking like you have a penis.

I understand I’m stating the obvious when I say that jeans are not as comfy as say - sweats, leggings or jeggings. Yet wearing these denim contraptions can sometimes actually be easier than purchasing them. The mental and physical battle of trying dozens and dozens of jeans on is exhausting.

My authority on the subject follows.

Since my fifth birthday I have been running around like a little soccer nut - indoor soccer, outdoor soccer, traveling soccer. Developing myself a perfect pair of soccer thighs. I cannot quite blame soccer for my tucus but I have one of those too. Thanks genetics, you are a doll.

Jean shopping was never fun, and it was certainly not an option to go with friends. It was more of a tedious chore. My life was changed when at eleven years old my dad and I came across Gap Curvy Jeans. They seemed to arrive on the scene at the same time as Jennifer Lopez. Gap sells a hand full of styles that cater to different body types: curvy, long and lean, and petite are just a few options.

Daisy Fuentes has become my Latino body role model with her curvy friendly clothing line sold at Kohl’s. Her line shows that the manufacturers are well aware that women have curves but at the same time, they still keep up with all the latest and greatest trends for a great price.

Not all women can get the perfect pair-o-pants from Daisy or Gap. No matter what your waistline The Perfect Fit Button can help. This additional button that you tack into your jeans changes the way your jeans fit, truly transforming them. Whether you want to add an inch or pull your pants in tighter, The Perfect Fit Button helps to make the jeans fit your body. This made for TV thingamajig is a great option as a quick fix to your denim.

I learned young that jean shopping was not easy and no fun. I think I have cried so many times out of frustration when jean shopping that it has somehow turned into a comedic performance. Very often the dressing room is filled with twenty-three pairs of jeans again no options. So either embrace jeans and keep your eyes open for the right brand and style for you, or don’t and ditch them for leggings, dresses and sweats.

And so it begins!
