       I’ve been able to ditch makeup with ease and stop wearing uncomfortable clothing for aesthetic reasons, but the body hair thing still has me captive.I have very fair skin and very dark, coarse hair, and I’ve internalized the stigma of women’s body hair so deeply. I shave and pluck every day, even if I’m just around the house. I wish I knew how to not be disgusted by something that is completely natural.Any advice is appreciated ♥️

       @Cynane I’m afraid I don’t have any advice because I was able to ditch all of it somewhat easily. I wear a long skirt every day and don’t shave my legs— my hair is fine instead of course but it is dark and my skin is fair… When I stopped shaving I remember looking at a lot of art and illustrations that celebrates body hair, and I looked for photograph portraits of women with unshaved legs/under arms. I remember that helping my confidence, because I found those women beautiful.

       @Zephyranthes that’s a wonderful idea. I’ll seek out imagery that celebrates it. I’ll gaze upon self-portraits of Frida’s brows and admire her natural beauty. Thanks!
