Some thoughts on personal grooming

I grew up as a very relaxed kid, teenager, etc... at some point I am not sure if I missed a part of my feminine life... or if I just decided not to pursue it because it would take just too much effort and I prefered to go to sleep.

However, in the life of every young woman (specially growing in latin america) there are many things you need to take into consideration before going out of your house... things such as:
- did I shave my legs?
- did I shave my underarms?
- are my earrings matching what I wear?
- are my shoes matching my pants or my shirt?
- am I wearing enough make up?
- did I cover that huge zit in my cheek with makeup?
- are my nails well done?
- should I wear polish or color?
- does this pant my make ass look big? do I want my ass to look big?
- are boobs looking even? should I accomodate them better?
- do I have facial hair?
- should I remove my facial hair?
- is my bikini line "in line"?
- razor, wax or laser?
- am I fat? does this clothes make me look fat?
- is it a bad hair day?
- loose or pony tail? blow dried or messy look?
- I STILL LOOK UGLY!!!!

Well, for some reason... 90% of this problems were not part of my life... took life as it came, wore makeup only for going out at night on weekends, shaved if I was going to wear skirts, and the rest... it just didn't exist.

10 years, 20 pounds and $500 dollars later... here I am... trying to "improve" my life style...
I just spent half of my salary in an entire laser treatment to permanently remove unwanted body hair throughout my body... YEAY no more shaving or waxing!!!!! (you are welcomed to ask...) pedicure, manicure and an entire set of hypoallergenic make up to complete it, together with a full month of massages to compliment all this grooming...

And guess what... life is exactly as it used to be... only a little bit more complicated... I believe I did need some grooming... oh women!
