Are you curious about epilation as a hair removal method? I was too, so I took the plunge and bought an epilator - the Braun Silk-Epil Beauty Set 9-995 from Amazon, which I'm reviewing here.

Epilation removes hair from the root. An epilator looks at first glance slightly similar to an electric razor but it's actually very different. An epilator has a series of automated tweezers which plucks hair as you guide it over your skin. I could literally see the hair root from hair that it removed from my armpits! This product is rechargeable, so after each use you plug it in with the provided adapter plug.

I'll mention a bit about the product first, and next I'll cover what to expect from this hair removal method, including whether it hurts! I'll also talk about the pros and cons of this particular product (yes, there are both).

If you are considering epilating, you're probably wondering if there is pain as the epilator plucks out your body hair. The answer is that it varies greatly based on the body part you're epilating (more on this below). I have experience with this method of hair removal, having started epilating earlier this year. I tried out the epilator on all my body parts so whatever body part you plan on epilating, I've tried it! I've listed out the various body parts and what you can expect epilating to feel like.

There is something so personal and wonderful about a hand bound hardcover notebook - holding it, writing in it, planning.

Alternatively, if you're looking for some loose-leaf eco-friendly paper just to jot things down - a grocery list for example - then handmade recycled paper is definitely the way to go. If any of these sound good to you, then learn more here!

A good approach to handling any social media is to update without letting it become time-consuming for you. This way, you get the best of both worlds: your Twitter, Facebook, or other social media account looks up-to-date, yet you still have plenty of free time to do other things.
