Hiya girlies!

Today I’d love for us to share the little tips and tricks that you’re proud of, things that help you feel like the best version of you! It could be about anything, makeup, hair, hair removal, voice, mannerisms, diet, exercise, fashion, whatever you learned that had a positive impact on your life that could help another girlie learning who she wants to be!

Something I’ve been particularly enjoying recently is finding ladies I particularly admire in media and copying the things they say, trying to match their intonation and expression. I know it’s not an original idea but it can be super fun and very satisfying when you get it right! :3

    For hair removal, I proselytize for sugar wax. You never see ads for it or beauty influencers talk about it because it won’t make anyone any money; can make it and do it yourself for super cheap. It’s basically a mix of melted sugar and lemon juice that’s cooked into a sticky viscous candy you can use to rip your body hair out. Initial set up costs are under $50 (for a wax warmer, spatulas and reusable cotton muslin strips) and maybe a dollar per session in materials afterwards, if that. All it costs is time. You can use it just like a traditional depilatory wax, but because it’s made of sugar it’s water soluble and relatively easy to clean up. It’s also gentle enough that it’s fine to go over the same spot again if you miss some hairs. After several years of waxing every three months or so my hair finally thinned out to where I’m not so self conscious of showing unshaven legs sometimes. I’m cis but I’m hairy so I’ve experimented with a lot of hair removal methods. Sugar wax is an amazing value for its results, and the best solution for broke ass ladies like myself to thin the fur.
