Hair Wars: Chapter 4--continued

Emjoi Chic Epilator
I have found that the process gets less painful. I guess you start going numb?
Love that I don't have to shave the arm-pits everyday!
Legs seem to be dryer than usual...

Hair Wars: Chapter IV: A New Hope


Emjoi Chic Epilator
Their description:
Virtually painless hair removal from the root. 21 extra gentle tweezers remove hair quickly...
I would really like to know their definition of "painless."
Here's the real story: You will be yanking your hair out of your body, roots & all. There may indeed be some drug that makes this act painless, but I'm not familiar with it.
That said, this is about as comfortable as you can get while a machine rips out your hair. The No!No! hurt less during the process, but there was the whole burn factor + the smell of frying hair.
Huge Warning--if you use this on your armpits, give yourself a full day to recover before using deodorant. Unless, of course, you are into the chemical burn.
I will update with re-growth prognosis!

Crest Pro-Health Whitening Toothpaste



I'm a bit of a teeth nut. I bleach at least one a month so anything that promises to remove up to 80% of surface stains is right up my alley. It's a bit grainy, which I love. It's almost like a face scrub for teeth-making it feel like it's really doing something. The taste is minty but more spearmint than that super strong mint that almost burns your tongue. I've been using it for more than a week and I must say I haven't noticed much change in teeth color though.
Odd side note- love the tube because the cap is big and flat. The tube can stand up in my medicine cabinet.
