Since returning to Canada after over 20 years abroad I’ve noticed a strange phenomenon that seems to cause women over 40 to become nearly invisible in the media and disappear completely from beauty product advertisements until they reach an acceptable “grandmotherly” age that apparently requires wrinkle creams and medicinal ointments.
Honestly WTF?
I’m 45 and clearly have not dwindled out of existence nor have I stopped buying products for myself even though the ads for my fave beauty bits are all aimed at those that are a couple of decades younger than me, humph!
In an effort to prove that 40+ is not the end but simply the beginning of our next adventure I’ve created Old Enough, a fancy new series where I’ll be sharing my fab over 40 reviews, tips + a few stories too!
First up is my DIY Dollar Store Bikini Wax At Home – is it really possible to successfully rip out your own hair down there?
I’m not at all sure if I’ll be waxing at home again but I’m crazy impressed that those dollar store strips really did get the job done!
The redness and bumps disappeared after a couple of days and my skin was smooth and hair-free, yay!
Do you wax at home? Get hair removed at the salon? Shave or go au naturel?
