Greetings and Salutations! September Newsletter…
Well, it’s been almost a month since my early (temporary, I hope!) retirement and I think I have officially lost my mind. Occasionally it will appear, but more often than not I think it wavers between sleep and energy-saving modes. And speaking of hard drives, anyone else ready to toss their computer/device out of the [...]

Waxing is not just for bikini season!
Greetings and happy September! For most of us that means an end to summer and an end to beach vacations and sitting poolside. Unfortunately to many folks that means an end to bikini waxes – a little extra hair keeps you warm for the winter, right? No!!! Here’s the scoop on why you really should [...]
Introducing Shea Butter!
In the hot hot months of summer, our body sweats - yes, duh, but did you also know that with this sweat, you can lose essential oils that are vital in keeping your skin supple and hydrated? Yes! And that’s where shea butter comes in. Not a petrolatum product which can clog your pores but [...]

But I feel that the topic of bikini/Brazilian waxing – as it relates to feminism – [...]
Are you ready to show off YOUR pumpkin?
Ohhh scary!! No, not all the ghosts and goblins – your hair! Look at it! How do you expect to show off your sexy vampire TRICKS with that? And those brows?? Unless your costume has anything to do with Frida Kahlo, you better watch that wicked unibrow! Come in and get shaped up. The kids [...]
Yes, waxing hurts. So let’s talk about pain tolerance…
Waxing is not without its risks, nor without its pain. Your hair is being forcibly removed from your skin – this hurts. But you get used to it, and it’s always worse the first time. Why? Because that hair follicle’s root bulb is extremely thick, built up with years and years of amino acids, protein, and keratin. [...]
Consistency, Consistency, Consistency
Hello and happy June! I hope everyone has been enjoying the summer and surviving the near one-thousand degree days we’ve been having. Ok, it’s not been that bad, actually, and I’m sure we’ll be complaining soon enough about how cold it is, but for the moment, my whining seems to help me feel better! At [...]
To loofah or not to loofah?
To loofah or not to loofah? Well… “Bacterium is attracted to moisture and loves to grow in the nook and crannies of a loofah,” say several doctors and other smart people. So there’s that. Personally I think I’ll stick with my sugar scrub in my hands to do the exfoliating for me… For more gross [...]
