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 unwanted 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 for many months now. I tend to grow hair quite quickly so I'm the perfect guinea pig for this!

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 the various body parts a bit further along and what you can expect.

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!

I was looking for a Hawaiian shirt that looked laid-back - and most importantly - was a light color since I already had plenty of dark colored Hawaiian shirts. All of this was surprisingly hard to find. After looking online for awhile, I came across AlohaFunWear. Is this store legitimate and reliable? Here is a review of my experience shopping there.

No-one owns a phrase or hashtag. If you're getting tired of certain sequences of words having specific connotations, unleash your inner rebel and use it differently!

The good news is that just because somebody might use #maythe4th for one purpose, it does not prevent you using it for another purpose. Here are some unique and different options for using May the 4th, whether as a phrase or a hashtag. 

Waxing your armpits may seem drastic, but it has some advantages. On the other hand, it also comes with some disadvantages. Here is the complete guide for how how to wax your underarms, and the pros and cons of waxing versus shaving.
