AT HOME IPL HAIR REMOVAL

Do At-Home IPL Devices *Actually* Work? Your burning IPL hair removal questions answered by science!

I accept that everybody has body hair, including me. But that doesn’t mean I have to love it.

The world has gone through countless changes over the last 2 years. In the past, there were plenty things we assumed needed to be done outside of our cozy homes, long-term hair removal being one of those things. That is no longer the case, and today, we’re talking about it.

I’ll start by saying that there isn’t anything inherently wrong with body hair. In fact, body hair is just another one of those nifty updates evolution gave us in order to, you know, make sure we survive another day on this treacherous planet. We have to give it to Ms. Evolution for that. She just wants what’s best for us. Unfortunately, what was best back in the (prehistoric) day isn’t necessarily what is best for us *today*. Now that clothing is commonplace (a massive understatement), body hair for protection and warmth just isn’t needed.

All that being said, I also don’t think there is anything wrong with wanting to remove some or all of your body hair. You can denounce the social pressure imposed on women to maintain a standard of beauty that is honestly nothing short of a target strapped to the back of a hunting cheetah, but at the end of the day, can’t denounce anybody’s choice to do what they please with their body, regardless of how they came to their decisions.

So whether you just want to spend less time razor-in-hand, or if you want to live life slick-like-a-fish, at-home IPL devices are a great option for semi-permanent hair removal that won’t break the bank, and also won’t require you to spend hours in a salon with goofy goggles over your eyes.

Read on to find out more about at-home IPL hair removal devices, why are aren’t lasers, and which models are best for your specific needs!

How To Layer Winter Travel Pin 1

Layering clothes for weather below 70˚ is a skill I simply did not possess.

For people who live in cold climates, this is all basic stuff. But for people like me who live in warm climates, (and who start shivering when temperatures dip below 72°), figuring what exactly you should be wearing at different temperatures actually took me a lot of trial and error. If you have ever looked at the temperature at your travel destination, only to think something like, “Okay, 39˚, how cold is that? Do I need long underwear?” then this post is for you. Keep reading to find out how I layer my clothes for the most confusing temperature ranges!

Honestly, is there a worse time to get sick then when you’re on vacation?

All you want is to enjoy your trip and make the most of your time. And then, boom! A cold. Or worse. You’re away from the comforts of your home, more effort is needed just to get simple remedies, and visiting the doctor you’re familiar with isn’t an option. It has happened to all of us.

On the bright side, there are precautions we can take to reduce our chances of getting sick while traveling. I used to come home sick after every single trip, without fail. After I started doing these things, I almost never spend the last few days of my trip coughing and sneezing, and then confined to my bed for several days after getting home.

Here are my top ten tips on how to not get sick while traveling!
