Same here T^T
I've tried once and it really huuurt. I don't know how others deal with it D:

 

The problem is my armpits get irritated if I shave too often T.T and those hair removal creams have to be used often and they are expensive.
I think I might start waxing.

 
You know ..only first time waxing hurts alot, by the second time you hair got alot thinner are less so it really doesn't hurt.
 
Also if you don't like waxing ..you might try epilating..same effect and is verry quick.
 

Does anyone know of a really good bargain epilator

Wouldn't buy a cheap one, because those tend to hurt alot and they don't work as clean.If you want a good brand then you should try anything from Braun.They have epilators starting from 40euro.They last really long, I have mine since atleast 7years and it's still working perfectly :)

[ruppi]

You get used to it although I still cry when I'm getting my eyebrows done xD
 
 
Do you mean use an epilator or?

Yup that's what I mean :D

[ruppi]

Really? I didn't know that. I should give it a second chance then D:
And if it doesn't work I can try epilators then

Yes it's because when you wax you pull the whole hair out with it ends, so it actually takes time to regrow hair.When you shave though the hair root is not gone,that's why you get more hair by the second time and it also gets thicker.

My mum doesn't even get any hair anymore because she has been waxing and using an epilator her whole life.
 

But they are so expensive T.T


Humph.

But it lasts for years ..if you count the times you needed to buy new razors and all the other stuff, it is actually alot cheaper.

I don't really get blackheads so idk, sorry. :< 

 

 

That is actually a myth! Hair doesn't grow "ticker", it just feels like it because it's smaller so it's rougher and less flexible. When I was searching about this, one person made a metaphor with a tree's branch: when it's smaller, it's less flexible but when it's bigger/longer you can bend it better, and the same happens with hair. Otherwise we would look like werewolfs by now from all the shaving and stuff.  :har:  i don't think i explained this that well lol

Pubic hair removal recommendations please! 

 

For real ..well then I might be wrong but after shavin the hair feels really, how do say it, rough but after waxing/using epilator the hair feels even when it hasn't grown alot very soft.So it really doesn't has to do anything with the size both feel different even with the same hair length oO

 

Public hair removal ...pain pain pain ...T_T

I need ages to get done with that through waxing cause it fu**ing hurts

[ruppi]

Can we pay to get our hair epilated our wtv you call it? Is it more expensive than waxing?

 

I just shave my pubic area. I think waxing down there would be too much.

 

Well I've never seen a shop where you can pay someone to epilate you ..(lol that sounds weird)

 

Epilators are used by yourself and it depends on if you wax yourself or if you don't if you want to know what's cheaper.

Personally if I wax, I make the wax myself so I don't need to buy any expensive materials and I do it myself aswell so both ways don't cost me much in the long run.

 

But you do know what an epilator is, right?

looks like this

 

[ruppi]

Yeah but I've heard of people who pay to get it done so...

 

I'll probably buy one when I have the money. I've used one like one time and it hurt a bit but not as much as waxing does so yeah xD

 

Do you usually buy those kits where you just heat up the wax or?

 

Yeah it hurts less that's true :)

 

No I do it myself completly.The methode I use is called sugaring or sugar waxing and there are many recepts on the web if your interessted :)

This is pretty much a standart methode in arabic households, though it's getting more popular in other places now I think. :)

[ruppi]

Hum that's pretty interesting. Will look it up.

Thanks n_n

 

Your welcome :smile:

[ruppi]

Hey girls got a question , do you have a skincare routine?

[ruppi]

okay i was just wondering 

[spoiler]Would this count as possibly having an ED?

-starving (usually failing)
-trying to purge
-looking at thinspo constantly
-feeling accomplished without food
-being scared of calories
-being ashamed at the way ***'s body looks
-even being scared of taking baths bc *****'ll know ***'ll see fat[/spoiler]

 

 

 

[spoiler]Certainly looks like a mental problem and ED to me and if not changed soon it will also hit your health terribly (meantally and physically).You should go see someone for it. My friend had to deal with this problem for years now and it only got worse with time.Try to talk with someone ,a professional would be the best solution but even the help of family is great at times.

My friends got scarred for life from this ,going from clinic to clinic .Please don't wait too long, ED shouldn't be taken lightly.. ;/ [/spoiler]
 

[ruppi]

[spoiler]it's been going on since july and i can't stop it. i can't reach out to anyone either...[/spoiler]

 

 

[spoiler]Oh dear that's already long ..how much weight did you lose already? Do you know why you can't talk to anybody about it,are you afraid? Maybe you can try anymous help, we have hotlines for this, I'm sure your country has aswell.It's important to open up about it.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I lost some weight, but it comes back.I weigh around 120, and I want to be 100. One of my friends know, but she doesn't say anything about it. I'd call the hotline, but I'm sure someone in my house may hear me, for I do not live alone.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Hmm 100 pound is not healthy,espcially the way you are losing it. I'm glad you talked about it to one person about it. I know you it's hard for you to seek help but can't you try visiting a doctor? They ain't allowed to talk with anyone about your problems anayways, you might even ask if your friend would be able to accompany you ,so you wouldn't be alone.


How are you feeling btw do you feel tired or stressed from not eating?[/spoiler]

 

 

 

So this exists...

Yeah it does, though not many use it^^

 

Yup. A super simple one

 

Black soap to cleanse, apple cider vinegar to tone, clinique and almond oil to moisturize. 

 

I'm looking for an alternative moisturizer but I keep going back to clinique.

 

I do a bentonite clay and apple cider vinegar mask to exfoliate. 

wait apple cider tones the skin? First time hearing it.Hmmm might try it ..though I hate the smell ._.

[ruppi]

I forgot to check this thread out ..ups

 

 

 

I realized since going abroad that I eat very little

 

I counted my calories for the first time in 2 months today and I ate not even 850 calories.... and I'm not hungry

 

The thing is, I feel like I ate so much I am actually nauseous and I don't think I could eat anything more... besides like tea

 

Has it gotten worse or better the last days?

[ruppi]

I ate a lot today but not because I was hungry nor cuz I felt like it

Actually my stomach hurt and I felt nauseous most of the day again, but I blame it on the total of 6 hours of sleep I got in 3 full days...

Then I craved for something really salty but everything in Korea is fucking sweet so I'm still nauseous.

 

Hmm so it might be that you're simply not comfortbale with the food in Korea?

 

It might help if you would somehow be able to cook food you're used to or food you actually like ...I remember when I was abroad for awhile (mind you it was only for a short while) I wasn't able to eat much either because I simply wasn't used to the things served and I didn't like most either.

So since I couldn't look forward to dinner or anything food related really I got used to not really want food?

 

 

Though maybe it's like you said the lack of sleep.
