Going Places
Koreans have basically no body hair either. The kids tried to pull my arm hair over the winter! They weren't being rude, they were just curious but it didn't do much for the ego!

Ah, the joys of being a woman. LJ if it is any consolation, I have since about age 29 started growing hairs ON MY CHIN. Like an old granny who stinks of wee and cats.
I have always used Immac (now Veet), it is really simple, just put it on thickly for 3 minutes and scrape off, wash with lukewarm water et viola! It is a misconception that the hairs grow back thicker, they only look thicker if you shave them, because you are looking at the blunt end of the hair, not the wispy thin tip of the hair. However if you are using a hair removal cream, it doesn't chop the hair off, it singes it back chemically (sounds worse than it is) so that when it regrows, it is all wispy - so not thicker at all.
If you wax, you are ripping the hair follicle out entirely. So it takes longer to grow back, which is good, but as Emma says, there is a risk of 'spots' caused by the new hair ingrowing (as it can't break through the skin properly and gets trapped beneath).
God when did I become a hair removal expert? Oh to be a high cheekboned scandinavian blonde...I have a friend who is and has never ever shaved her legs. Oh well...

BonnieBooBear said:That's really funny - I just spat my coffee out all over my keyboard. You must have felt like the Gruffalo! I have relatively long arm hairs and did bleach them once upon a time (removing them and having my arms all nude looks a bit wierd frankly) but then found I had regrowth. It is bad enough having the roots on my hair done, but bi-colour arm hair? Give me a break!
And the result is........... 3.1kgs
Lou jinxed it
Looks like I'll have to up the exercise levels a bit. That 2 miles has to be every day from now on, no excuses (cont. in TL thread, gulp!)
OK, I don't have PCOS, but now I have got to 30, I must say I am noticing my tache more! No laughing please!
What would you ladies recommend? The hairs are fine and soft, I don't want them to turn to stubble, but I want to do something! How are the bleaches, veets etc? Or would waxing be the way to go?
Didn't realise you were a beauty therapist Lou? Might have to pick your brain about stuff then, I have never been very good at all that, never had a sister so was a bit of a tomboy.
Have decided to go off in my campervan for the weekend with the boyf and doggie. Anyone got any suggestions of meals I can eat?
So far have decided to make a ff veg lasagne to re -heat (should point out it has hob, grill and oven but obv don't want to be faffing too much as prep space is limited) with salad for me and garlic bread for the boyf.
Breakfast is OK, can still have fruit and yog or maybe cereal instead. Lunches are the main thing...ususally resort to sarnies in the past but this time don't want to be eating bread. And need another evening meal plan as we are dong 2 nights (if the weather is nice).

What van have you got? We have a VW Transporter T5 and spend the summer holidays in it with the two dogs and bikes on the back.
What do you cook on/in?
Stir fry? Spag bol? BBQ steak with salad?
We have a Cobb bbq and do roast meat, healthy fry ups, casseroles, omelettes, even moule mariniere one time in France!
Will post more ideas if I think of them
Ooh a campervan you lucky thing. Wish we drove!!! Salad, meats, veggies but prepared veg so it's quick and easy and no waste, potatoes got jacket spuds, beans, soup, eggs, I could personally live on meat salad and veg it doesn't bother me at all. Pasta? Or are you no carbing it?
BonnieBooBear said:Yeah, it isn't pretty but it is great fun. You are right, could buy some bagged salad I suppose and some nice cold meats for lunches. Potatoes not so good as they take ages to cook and use too much gas, but guess i could make up some syn free potato salad for lunches now you mention it. Pasta always a good one, not no-carbing (just get too bunged up!) so already have pasta on the list. WIll make sure I burn it off with lots of walking don't worry.
