Female Personal Hygiene

I hate chain emails. You know the ones that go, "If you don't send this email to 10 people in 2 hours (insert something horrendous) will happen to you." Those are flat out annoying

.

Over the last few days, my dad has been on a real cleaning binge. Almost throwing away everything in sight. Whatever comes in his hand, goes straight in the trash. I left my eyeglass case on the dining room table two days ago and now its not there. I have a pretty good feeling that my dad threw it away. When I called him at work, he was strangely quiet and then said that he saw it on the table too. He told me that it should be on the bookshelf, but I didn't see it there - I only saw his two pairs of glasses. If my dad did throw my case away, I am going to be kind of upset, but I should be thankful my glasses weren't them. Right

?

I need some shaving advice...

Ok, some of the hair on my legs grows in this weird angle that's so close that I can't get a close shave, even if I shave against the hair's growth. I've also tried changing the blade. The only thing that helps is if I pinch the skin and do it so the hair out as much as possible but that leads to a lot of irritiation and small dotty cuts. Anyone know if there is a fix for this? I use venus razor.

Thanks

Try a men's razor like the Men's Mach iii by Gillette. Sometimes men's products are much better than women's products. Prove point - when my university was giving samples by the case load of Gillette [men's] shaving cream. My classmates and I picked up boxes and took them. It was totally awesome stuff. Good luck

Don't shave; wax instead.

I wish I could, but you have to wait till it grows out and stuff and I don't know how well that works if you're married

It's working fine but it removes the hair to the same length as the razor so until it starts taking effect in terms of making everything thinner, it's still the same problem.

Exactly! That's why you should wax. Shaving can make your legs look like raw chicken skin

My dad said some naughty words followed by a "Good you said 'No'"

. My mom said that if my uncle was so proud of my aunt then he needs to throw a party for her and not be cheapskate by using our party to honor her

My parents are off the chain

The first pull does, but after that its gravy

. I have noticed that the Sally Hansen Sugar Wax hurts MORE than "her" Lavender Spa Formula. However, nothing compares to the professional wax they have in salons. I find those a little (and I mean a little) less painful than the home wax products.

I once tried Nads and its cool, but I am not down with the no-heat crap.
