Waxing and Feminism – it’s okay!
April 17, 2015 By
So I’ve been hesitant to post any thoughts about this particular issue as I’d like to try and stay positive about women, femininity AND feminism, and the mere mention of the word feminism throws people into fits of epilepsy. But I feel that the topic of bikini/Brazilian waxing – as it relates to feminism – [...]
Are you ready to show off YOUR pumpkin?

Personally I think I’ll stick with my sugar scrub in my hands to do the exfoliating for me… For more gross [...]

Welcome 2014 and Happy New Year all! The first full work week for most people begins on Monday yet January is when work slows down for me. On these cold, cold days apparently some folks need the extra layer of hair to keep them warm warm. But I say nay! Shed the hair, and buy [...]
