Day #209: 3 Little Hairs.
As I was getting ready for the benefit on Sunday, I was looking at myself in the mirror. And what did I notice? 3 little hairs on my chin.
Seriously? As I plucked the little hairs that plagued my chin, I was thinking to myself about how society views woman as these perfect beings and we aren't supposed to have flaws...and here I was, plucking hair off my chin.
I am part Italian (my maiden name was Manzullo) but aside from a cool last name and a thick head of dark brown hair, I didn't inherit the beautiful traits that people associate with Italian women.
For example, I did NOT inherit olive or brown skin. I am pasty pale. I used to go to the tanner but after I became a nurse, I was way too aware of skin cancer. So, I remain pasty pale. When I try to tan, I burn in patches.
Also, like most Italians, I have an over abundance of hair. (Probably TMI). I love having a thick, full head of hair. However, I also have chin hairs. Above the lip hairs. Hairs on my big toes. And if I didn't pluck or wax my eyebrows, I would likely almost have a unibrow. And if I don't shave my legs I look like Sasquatch.
Are there parts of your body that make you feel insecure?

Facciolla e Trócullos lado materno.Acho que os pelos incomodam em qualquer lugar,até na cabeça,pois o volume do encaracolado...Solidária com você,vamos arrancado....
Oh no! I am part Italian and luckily do not have the curse of tons of hair. I occasionally get the chin hair which is frustrating. I think my stomach size is the only thing that makes me feel insecure. Need to lose some weight {once I am done with nursing school}.
ReplyDeleteI don't have anything in me except Irish and Polish blood and I also have a full body of hair that is somewhat dark. I use Nair shower power (probably TMI on MY part now) and it works wonders, especially for the arms. I'm not really self conscious about hair, but I do have my share of faults I'd like to change LOL.

I also have excess body hair... such a hassle!
ReplyDeleteI get hairs on my chin too. Far to often for my liking.
ReplyDeleteI am one of those hairy brunettes, too--one of my biggest frustrations is that society expect women to have lots of hair on their heads but no where else. Oh well. I comply with most of it, but I refuse to wax my eyebrows. That's my final stand. :P
ReplyDeleteI call those hairs my tree stumps! I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great blog! I'm your newest fan from the Nice to Meet You {Blog Hop}!

I think most of us brunettes do, but we're good at hiding it. I get 2 on each of my cheeks and 3 on my chin- and I'm 23! ughhhh. I keep tweezers in the car where the lighting is the most honest to nip them in the bud!
ReplyDeleteI have hairs that grow out of moles in my neck and this white hair that grows out of my eye lid. They drive me crazy. Plus, since I'm breastfeeding again, I get white hairs growing all over my face. So annoying!
