What do Sasquatch and women have in common? Other than being bipedal, neither of them shave their legs during winter. Why is that? I can understand poor Sasquatch keeping the head-to-toe hair-parka in sub-zero temps – he lives in the great outdoors after all, but we don’t. Why do we insist on keeping our unsightly body-locks? Does it act like a thermal blanket and pit-mitts when the temperature drops?

I get it – shaving is time consuming, and why bother if you’re going to wear pants and long-sleeved sweaters from November to March. But that doesn’t mean we should let our inner porcupine takeover. I used to walk around all prickly, I figured I bagged me a mister – I don’t need to try so hard. Besides, I was a stay-at-home mom raising small kids and only had time for basic grooming. That was until my daughter drew me, leg stubble and all, on a Mother’s Day card. I booked a body wax the next day.

Thankfully, depilatory has come a long way and since then and I have permanently removed unwanted hair through painless laser treatments. Investing in myself has paid off huge dividends! I save time shaving every other day, I save on razors, and I save myself from a lot of embarrassment!
