Love this thread!

I am very depressed, so I do not shave my legs.

Ever since I started growing hair as a teen, it seemed as if my arm pit hair grew more than my y leg hair did. In my 20's, not because of depreession, I did not shave in the winter......Now from not shaving almost 9 months, an dbarely shaving my whole life, My legs, I have sporadic hairs growing...I can cut them off with a scissor. The hair seemed slowly stop growing back.
I will wear shorts life this as I really do not care due to my MI.

Not shaving my underarms is a different story...it always grows.

I was never one of those people in which I shaved daily...I guess even when in a relationship, it was never an issue. I know if I had to shave daily, my skin would be a mess.

Yeah, I can't shave my legs at all when severely depressed - it's just too hard.

I've been shaving my legs once a week since shorts weather started. Partially for the adherence to routine ( change sheets on Mondays, all new kitty litter, fresh towels and shave legs on Fridays), it gives me a sense of accomplishment. If I were to shave more often, my skin would be so raw and irritated. But there's still that thought, 'why the fork do I feel I need to do this?' It's just hair, why did we ever adopt hairless legs (on women) as a cultural norm in the first place?

I bought a pinky red dye and put in on my hair to cover my grey and give me red highlights. I noticed my nails went pink right away and that the dye wasn't coming off my hands even when I put cream on them. I decided to read the instructions. Quickly I put cream on my cheeks and ears where some colored hair was touching and then washed off the dye when I had only had it on for five minutes. I escaped having pink ears and pink splotches on my face and having some bright evidence on my face that I like to mess around with my life. I am going to try again but this time I read the instructions again first.
