Beauty is skin deep.

Good saying, but we all like to feel beautiful on the outside too. 

I recently lost 30 pounds due to divorce, I don't suggest that diet, but I am now healthy and feel great. I've always been plain and simple with my looks. Just eyeliner. I literally get ready for work in fifteen minutes or less everyday. Since everything, I've tried new things, just like the saying I like to use, 'YOLO, but in a Godly way.' I bought makeup, hair accessories, stuff I have no clue how to put on or use, etc!! One being an epilator. Heard of it? I haven't until a few weeks ago when a good friend told me about it. Two words, life changer. Seriously.

***Before and after, less than a year apart. 
I bought an epilator at my local drug store, Walgreens. I bought the Remington brand because it was the only brand they had, and I knew of the brand because of their amazing hair products (curling irons, hair dryers, etc). 

When I turned on the epilator, it scared me. I even snapped (snapchat - kristi37) my friend and told her what is she thinking. Is this a torture device? I was worried about the pain and pinching of my skin. I read the directions, and then just went for it! YOLO!!

Was not bad at all! Yes, the first contact was a scare, but after a little, you get use to it. The more you use it, the less you can feel the epilation. Towards the end of my first use, I ended up liking the feeling. Weird, I know. I started with my underarms, and then my legs.

My hair has not grown back and it's been a couple of weeks. This is great! I'm on vacation and don't have to worry about packing a razor, or shaving cream, don't have to pack the Remington Epilator either! On the box it says "leaving you smooth and silky for up to 6 weeks." Another plus, since it plucked my hair, it will grow back thinner the more times you use it!

I've always been paranoid about underarm hair. Just going a day or two can have a 'shadow,' so the Remington Epilator has helped with my insecurities - sounds hardcore, but I was insecure with pictures, wearing short sleeve shirts, etc. Also, with my new love for outdoor adventures, I don't have to worry about shaving during my camping/backpacking trips. No more checking my underarms or having to wear leggings during those, 'did I shave my legs recently?,' days!

Let me know if you have an epilator! How was/is your experience? ​

How long does the hair have to be for it to work effectively?

Good question! Any length! Too much info, but I used it on my stomach fuzz and it worked. I did have to go over it a few times, but still plucked the small fine hair. I know they have other epilators for face, etc. I was told by my friend that the more expensive the more tweezers, but my $39.99 worked for me.

So crazy! I always say, "life changing"! My husband tells me that he appreciates me because the little things "change my life". They are so big to us though! I'm so inspired by your story and glad to follow you on your journey!
