Holly and I spent an afternoon doing some girly grooming. I did her eyebrows with wax and tweezers. She ought to learn how to do her own back I'm OK doing hers since, back in my own youth, I used to do mine and I ended up with McDonald's arches for 4 or 5 years.

As for girly grooming... about 18 months ago I decided I wanted to do my own girly grooming... down below. I considered wax and bought a Brazilian waxing kit. Bear in mind that I have always used wax but I have never used wax down below. I used wax to prepare for childbirth one time. By that I mean that I used the pain of waxing my armpits (never having done that before). And it was painful. But the pain of the hair growing back out was worse. I could almost feel each and every freaking hair break through the skin when it decided to grow back out again. It was painful AND itchy. Anyway, back to girly part deforestation - I decided I wanted to try something involving less hair down there so I started to shave... and shave... and shave till there was nothing left at all. And who the hell decided that women need hair in the butt area too, for pity's sake?! I don't need to keep THAT warm down there. Sooooooooooo, that had to go too. How in the hell am I supposed to be able to wax all these bits? Contrary to what I tell the children I do not have eyes in the back of my head nor do I have them in my butt. I bought a really good shaver that is specific for the girly bits region and it really does give a very close shave. It's so good I bought another one for Holly to use for her face (when she's too impatient to wait for me to use wax on her - hey, we come from Mediterranean stock so we suffer from being facial hair challenged.) and she used to use it till I confiscated it because she never cleaned it, cleaned it myself then hid it. It's now lost because I can't recall where I hid it. Oh well.

Going back to girly part deforestation - I did it every day for a year. At that point I had met my challenge of being that keen to rid myself of hair down there for a year which, in my mind, meant that I was serious about not having hair there. I had told Wade that if I got to the year mark it would tell me that that was the look I wanted to keep for life. Frankly, I don't see the point of pubic hair. What is the use of it? People have to generally trim it otherwise they end up having a huge next like the Zohan did (and that huge 70s afro look). People do those stupid 'landing strip' looks. What is the point of that? I think an arrowhead would look better (LOL) and there would be a point to that look, wouldn't there. And who the hell really needs to floss with pubic hair? So, what IS the point of pubic hair? And butt hair?! Wha?????????? I am anal (pun intended) about that and I jump in the bath after ... er... voiding (pooping) even though we use wet wipes (Huggies). I still run a shallow bath (though we had bidets in England I have NEVER used one nor would I if we had them here) and I wash my bits and bobs. But most people don't have a wash after a poop so butthair just adds to the whole dingleberry thing which is, well, gross. And then there are things that people do in that region which makes hairs there plain annoying. So, again, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

So I want to look into permanent hair removal down there. Wondering about laser hair removal or, perhaps, electrolysis. I don't think electrolysis is permanent, though. I do need to look into it, though. I am sure it's expensive (laser hair removal) so I will have to wait on that but, having cut myself twice today, I will have to look into it sooner rather than later because I don't want to grow hair back. And Wade likes it too - so smooth. :o)

Oh, I treadmilled and watched a really enjoyable film this afternoon. It was Forever Strong - a movie about rugby. Fun film and had a message. Good one to watch while working out for 100 minutes - full of energy. Had the family watch it after dinner. They all enjoyed it. Rugby is a real man's sport - no wussy pads for those men. No helmets either. And lots of bleeding!!!

Gotta do tomorrow's weights workout in a bit but won't have to do tomorrow morning's first treadmill straight after since the children are back to school tomorrow and I can do it at 8:30 since I have to be up early now school's back. I love watching all these weight loss adverts. Why do they do a big drive on them every bloody new year? Do it year round. It's not like people SUDDENLY gained weight over Christmas. I don't have to feel bad about myself this year, I guess, since I am the fittest I have ever been. I do want to look better so I will just keep what I am doing. But none of it will ever give me the breast reduction that I have needed since I was 20. Having said that, though, my bra size had gone down from 36H (tight and over-flowing) to 36DD (very loose around the ribs and baggy in the cup size). I am going to go to Kohl's this coming weekend and just try on bras. I want to find a bra size that actually fits me. I measured my ribcage the other day and it was 31" so I do need a smaller size anyway. I love having less boobage. I am just too damned short to be an H cup!
