I remember shaving off the tiny hair in my legs back when I was in high school. I did that once. I do not remember if I liked the feeling of hairless legs. However, I was aware of the discomfort when the hair started to grow. Back then, the business of shaving is something I would fuss about the least. Yeah, I’m sure that happened once until over a decade and few days ago. I went shopping for food at the Commissary with my husband on Friday. Amongst the things I had in my congested mind was to buy an Aveeno sunblock spray. The one I had ended up in the trash after it was rendered useless by Jeff when the spray nozzle was destroyed a couple weeks back during an argument. It was my fault, I pushed his patience too far – but that’s another story I’ll write about next time, probably. The Commissary ran out of the sunblock spray I wanted so I opted to purchase this one brand called Tropical Hawaii with an SPF of 55. High SPF, sounds good. I neglected the basic rule of smelling before purchasing. Turned out, after applying a portion on my arm when we got home, this brand has that coconut-vanilla smell that I find so strong. It gave me a nasty migraine for the rest of the day. I ended up returning it the day after and exchanged it with Neutrogena dry-touch sunblock lotion SPF 55, with helioplex broad spectrum uva-uvb (whatever those words mean). This one I love because of the subtle scent and it dries quickly on the skin. Another thing I bought on Friday was a Sally Hanssen hair remover spray. Since I moved to San Francisco last year, I never saw one female with hair on the legs and calves. I struggled keeping the beloved hair on my legs for as long as I can. I always get a “No, it doesn’t look ugly Hon” reply from Jeff each time I ask his opinion about it. That went on for a year. Chances are it really doesn’t bother him at all or he just can’t bring himself to tell me they’re not that nice and that it’s high time I get rid of them. After a year in the beautiful San Francisco and two trips to the pool here in Germany with my new found friends and bunches of young and not so young women, hairless at that, I finally decided to do something. On Saturday I bid the hair on my legs goodbye. The spray was amazing. I just left the foam on my legs for about 5 minutes, rinsed it with warm water and all the hair is gone. I definitely don’t have the perfect legs but now I have perfectly hairless ones. You bet I’m going to keep doing this.
