Hi Y’all,
As much as you’d love life if you woke up every morning looking smooth, bright and perky, you know that the truth is that it takes effort and energy to look great and groomed. Do you spend ever increasing amounts of time in the mirror plucking and tweezing newly minted facial hairs? I do.
I used to have a downy light brown duvet on my upper lip. It wasn’t very apparent in the summer (the sun took care of bleaching it out, or so I told myself). In the winter as I would get pale, the hairs seemed to multiply and appear darker. Of course, eventually I discovered Read more...
