Ladies, ladies, ladies…you know that we have all been in a predicament from a day of not shaving…DON’T LIE! It has DEFINITELY happened to you AT LEAST once where you might have a little more than stubble….let’s hope!!!

What about those people that call it a “tradition/trend” to NOT shave their legs hair or underarms hair shaving? Yeah, I know that Julia Roberts (and the two women I saw on the subway platform) tried to pull that one off but that’s something I would NEVER do on PURPOSE!!!

I’m single in the city of dreams, trying to get a date and I’m sure this summer guys ARE NOT looking for a girl that has braids under her armpits in a flirty Tracy Reese sundress.

NO! THANK! YOU!

People, stop being lazy and making “excuses”!! If you cannot shave everyday opt for laser hair removal or even a hair inhibitor like completely smooth to prolong shaving….because honestly, do NOT run your hairy legs against mine, unless you’re a tall, dark and handsome man! Ha!

JUST SAY NO TO STUBBLE!!!

Well ladies….it seems as if we have yet ANOTHER HAIRY SITUATION…just when you thought that John Mayer could blissfully sweep you off your feet with some romantic lyrics and an acoustic guitar see below for Exhibit A.  Definitely NOT a WONDERLAND down there!

John, clean up your act (literally) and have The Situation teach you a lesson (never thought I would be saying that).

CLEAN THAT HAIR OFF!!!!! COMPLETELY BARE!!!!

With so many options, how does one know what choice to make: Paper or plastic? Red or White? Cash or credit? Hair removal spa might not be one of the choices you’re faced with everyday, but with so many options, a little guidance is sometimes needed to light the way to a fuzz-free existence.

When is it best to shave? Wax? Or is using a depilatory your best bet? I’m not going to lie; the bane of my existence is shaving. I will go to great lengths to avoid it (ex-boyfriends-yeah sorry about that). Yes, I know if I just keep up with it, it wouldn’t get so bad. But seriously, who has the time to shave every single day? Ironically, my mother used to say the same thing about cleaning my room. Once I discovered waxing, I was hooked. Nothing puts a bounce in your step like a good Brazilian wax. For your bikini, it’s waxing over shaving, hands down. You’ll cut down on ingrowns, not to mention it lasts significantly longer.

Even though I’ve just spent the last few minutes whining about shaving, for the underarms it’s the simplest solution. Plus, it can be done at the last minute while feeding the dog and talking on the phone (not recommended, the scars will never go away).

Let’s talk facial hair. This one’s a tie. Waxing is super convenient, fast and affordable. You can also go with a depilatory lotion. Now get ready, before you wrinkle you nose with memories of Nair, I’m about to change your life: completely bare’s new depilatory “completely gone” is unlike any hair removal cream you know (available soon…). It smells amazing, and the aerosol can makes application super easy. It’s perfect for use everywhere, but I love it epically for facial hair because it doesn’t irritate your face.

After all this advice, I must confess, I do none of the above. HA! Working at completely bare spa comes with it’s perks, #1 being free laser hair removal. It’s so amazing that sometimes I search for stray hairs to treat. Even if I didn’t get it for free, I would still do it. Its changed my live. Girls and boys, this is the ultimate way to go. I don’t have to wax or shave ever! I can go on vacation and not even bring a razor. This is my little slice of heaven. What can I say? It’s the little things.

My recent trip to LA taught me a few things:

Maxfield’s is the only place where a $1,000 bag is “sooo cheap” (ironically, it’s also where I briefly considered buying a $25,000 Hermes Bikiin, then I landed back on earth and decided it might be better to send my children to private school), driving one block can take 45 minutes, and a Rick Owens jacket (even when thrown over $30 Gap jeans) can make you feel better about yourself around perfectly tanned and exquisitely dressed women.

You must be wondering what all this LA talk is about? Well, ladies and gentleman, if you’ve guessed that an LA move in on the horizon, you’ve guessed right.

I need your help though. As a New Yorker, California seems a bit foreign, to put it mildly. I looked at spaces in West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, and I loved them all. Where are your favorite spots in LALA land? I would really appreciate the feed back because, after all you are the ones that’ll be getting completely bare spa there.

When kissing someone, it can be cute when their mustache tickles your lip…except when the mustache in question is yours…

Lip hair on a woman is one of those things we don’t speak of, are horrified by, and must be taken care of no matter what the cost. I have a very vivid memory of my mother* heating up her spa wax in the microwave and spreading it over her lip. When she winced and pulled it off, I would stare at the hairs that now lived in that honey colored wax with a mixture of horror and fascination. I wondered if I would ever be faced with that particularly evil curse. Alas, being Italian, it was inevitable, but we’ve come a long way from the days of my fond childhood memories.

There is still the option to wax, but does one really want a lifetime of wondering if you’ve waited just a bit too long since your last wax? Ladies, join me in the 21st century and make the jump to laser hair removal. It’s permanent and fast (15 minutes is all you need).

Many draw the line at couples in matching outfit, I draw it at couples with matching ‘staches.
