My skin hates me, this I have decided. Exfoliation and caution is perhaps the best advice. Thanks for the morning insight!

Yes, the "tulips" line makes

Yes, the "tulips" line makes me giggle every time. I can't help it!

Wax on, wax off

Regardless of your hair removal method, here are some rules of thumb for avoiding the dreaded rash, razor bumps and ingrowns:

1) gently exfoliate that area every day. I use my Clariisonic face brush, and since I've started, I rarely get an ingrown--and I used to be plagued by them.

2) use an astringent such as Tend Skin (salycylic acid) or benzoyl peroxide when you start getting some grow in.

Also, another great hair removal technique: laser hair removal. It's expensive, about $1200 depending on whether you do American, French or Brazilian. It may not remove all hair permanently, and it's not suitable for people with lighter body hair. However, if you extrapolate how much money you will spend on waxing, shavers, astringent, shaving cream, etc. for the next three years or so, you'll see that you'll spend that anyway. I know many women who've had this done and swear by it. However, it is permanent, so if the 70's full bush ever comes back, you'll be out of luck.

No, No, and NO on the waxing

I waed my eyebrows once. I broke out in a rash across my forehead/face and hurt like a b*tch. I was scheduled for a bikini wax that day and promptly cnaceled. Never again.

Only the British could get away with a commercial extolling the virtues of "mowing the lawn" - right down to the woman obsessively petting her, um, cat, and "tulips" on the mound!

Thanks for the giggles this morning :)

female motorcyclists

themomwhotookoffonhermotorcycle — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 14:15:10 -0500

Good for you about learning how to ride back in the day...

I got bored riding on the back of my husband's bike (though not so bad having my arms around his waist!)

I have a blog themomwhotookoffonhermotorcycle with pix from my trip so you can see where I am. Thanks so much for your support -- I'm a bit afraid but I'm pushing through my fear!

So exciting!

vomviersen — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:16:02 -0500

I envy you... what an exciting adventure you are about to set upon. Have fun and keep the shiny side up! And I hope you'll be photoblogging along the way.

There were not too many female motorcycling instructors when I learned to ride back in 1979, not many that I knew of then, anyway. I was surprised to find out recently that we still have a state-sponsored motorcycle education program in IL, still offering the MSF RiderCourse for a $20 deposit which you can donate or get back upon completion.

Glad I am not the only one w/ Recession Hair

Vikki Cathey — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 22:23:09 -0500

My family has made several cut backs since the start of this recession and hair is definitely one of them. I have not had my hair relaxed in over a year b/c I cannot bring myself to spend $100 on a relaxer and cut. I keep thinking of other things I can do w/that money. AND i am really cheap or better yet frugal. My husband now cuts his hair and our sons hair and that saves us $90/month.

There are definitely days when I would love the ease of dealing w/ relaxed hair, but I just need to learn more creative ways of working with my hair. What hair products do you use?

I keep hearing that!

Hey Vered! I have heard SO much about Laura Mercier and now that you've mentioned her I am just going to have to bite the bullet and get some. Thanks for adding the link.

(The bonus here? I've seen your lips before so I can already imagine how great it's gonna look!)

Laura Mercier, of course

Vered — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:43:22 -0500

Laura Mercier Lip Stain in Scarlet.

It's perfect.

Good Hair Is Healthy Hair

Miss Profe — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:19:38 -0500

Regardless of the color, or the texture, or the length - good hair is HEALTHY hair.

Found it!

Kelly Wickham — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:17:58 -0500

It was the Seaweed Cleansing Lotion (it's basically a toner) and it smells so delicious that I feel extra scrubbed clean when I use it. But I'm out right now so I have to order more.

Here's the link for that if you're interested. Happy shopping!

I Heart Mario Badescu!

Miss Profe — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 20:04:05 -0500

Is it the Glycolic Facial Cleanser?

Oh, me, too!

Kelly Wickham — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 19:17:22 -0500

I love Mario Badescu's stuff, too! There's another product for getting rid of oil on your skin that smells fresh and I can't remember the name of it. I'll have to look it up if you're interested. SO yummy fresh.

Thanks for your picks! Great list.
