Like the other women I’ve read about, after shaving since I was a teenager I just came to the conclusion there was no point.
I spent 3 months on a yurt camp in the middle of nowhere helping on the land and looking after the animals, the people I stayed with were striving for self sufficiency.
In that sort of environment you realise that none of the beauty regimes women do are important, I stopped wearing makeup and shaving. Its been 6 months I feel great this is me no pretences.
Even though I have fairly open minded friends a few of them are horrified I don’t shave anymore as summer is looming and my armpits are exposed they will have to get used to it.

I’d just like to say anyone who’s thinking about stopping or have stopped shaving, waxing etc. That’s excellent! Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about it if it wasn’t for the media and advertising women in America and England would’nt be so paranoid about the hair on their bodies.
