I have a foot stone that I keep my feet smooth with, Shy thinks it's funny b/c it tickles so much I can barely get through it
I guess the only other thing I do that I use a lotion with Kukui nut oil all over. I swear by it!!!

Not too much work to me...I do my eyes and a little blush, dry my hair straight and go. Well I do shave any hairs I do not wish to have and pluck my eyebrows and the occasional chin hair. I have no secrets about any of that though.

Although my hubby is 7 yrs. younger than me he loves my silver hair. Yes, it's more silver than grey. I have very little body hair - haven't shaved my legs in 25 yrs and there just isn't any there. I do however have chin hairs (that dang old menopausal thing) which I pluck on a tri-weekly basis at least.

I don't wear a lot of makeup - just "eyebrows" (not much hair there either) and lipstick.

My secret? I takes ages getting ready for the day and getting ready for bed. It drives people mad! I dunno, I love putting on makeup - helps me find the energy to get out of bed in the mornings! And getting ready for bed: cleansing oil, toner, face cream, eye cream... I want to take care of myself, what's so wrong with that? lol!

I hate the chin hair thing, I forget sometimes and then there is a new one! Ugh, and then I have a couple of friends who don't do it enough and I don't have the heart to point it out, although I probably should huh?

I have a couple chin hairs, too, that I pluck (man, I'm revealing all today!!!). I'm saving up for electrolysis, though

I have blond hair but still have to pluck couple hairs on my upper lip...it's really annoying. I wish they'd just fall out!

My secret to being 31 and looking 25...I use anti-aging products from Lancome...expensive but they work!

AND ladies, it's almost summer here and you know what that means...have to shave more often. YUCKO! Anybody wax their legs/bikini line? Now that hurts like a biatch!!! I haven't done it in a really long time because it's so painful. But I'd love to hear if anyone has any tricks.

Augh, I hate bathing suit season but I love the weather!!!!

I have a few stray hairs on my chest and abdomen that I pluck that DH doesn't know about, but he knows about everything else. He does great pedicures and helps out in hair removal from certain areas.

I'm with you on that one Jen!. I love the sun, but i refuse to get my face caught by it, plus i don't smoke either, and i swear by exfoliating once a week and to moisturise twice a day and i say thats how i don't look my age when people ask as well

Geez, I don't do anything at all. I even wash my face with soap. I didn't even used to use conditioner on my hair when it was short, but now that it's long, I do have to use conditioner or I can't get the comb through it.

Under the cats, mostly.
ugh... am I the only 22 year old who's had to break into the anti-wrinkle eye cream?!
I have bags under my eyes to rival the cases I travel with.

Though I do smoke and was a sun worshipper when I was young (no more), I am one of the odd 32 year olds who look 25. I love it when I still get asked for ID!
I often tell people..Imagine if I didn't smoke or drink or whatever..I would look 12!


My one trick is moisturizing my face daily.

As for a beauty secret, when doing makeup, I put a slight spot of white cream shadow on either side of my nose (beside the corner of my eyes)..
Its a tip I got from a makeup artist to make your eyes look further apart.
It works!
I also always pluck my brows for definition, and shade them in.

Alright, you've forced it out of me. I don't bleach my arms cuz I don't have much hair on them but I do bleach facial hair. I caught sight of a dark hair a few years back and I've bleached ever since! I wasn't gonna spill but...

I wax my arms Amy. I have really really LONG DARK arm hairs. And actually since waxing it grows in thinner and lighter!!!

I also wax the brows and the *shudder* hairs on my upper lip.

It is also at least a 20 min process for me to get ready for bed and equally as long in the mornings and LONGER if I use makeup that day. I'm such a girlie girl it isn't funny.

Well, to be honest bathing suits are my absolute favorite garment ever, so there's never a time during the year that I don't shave my bikini line. Especially since this is Florida and it's generally still warm enough to lay out near the end of November and is back to that warmth by March.

I do pluck the stray hair or two that decides to pop itself out on my chin.
Brendan certainly doesn't know about that!


The only thing I do that's a secret is that chin hair plucking. Everything else Brendan knows about! I take very good care of my skin since I am always tanning, even though I always use a low sunscreen and never burn. Currently people often mistake me for 16, which when you're 22 is just downright frustrating. ESPECIALLY since I can't see a reason WHY they'd think that. It must just be something about my face? I am hoping though that the trend of thinking I'm 6 years younger than I am stays throughout life, so I'll actually get to appreciate it!!!

So far out in left field I got lost
Ok ok I confess....I wax the brows, upper lip and also pluck my "Witchy Poo" hair on my chin. I have thought about waxing my arms but the hair is really light colored so it's not a big problem. Haven't tried it yet.

One thing I have considered doing but haven't tried yet is dye the brows. My brows are so light in color that you can barely see them unless I take my mascara and run it through them daily. Anyone ever done that? If so what do you use?

Unfortunately, Mike knows most of my "Hairy Girl Maintenance" routine!
It stinks, too, because I HATE going to beauty salons, & do it myself. He laughs when he catches me with bleach cream on my mustache..although the other day I tried to rip it off with duct tape, & ended up plucking alot of it. I color my own hair-recently I decided to treat myself to having someone else do it, was in that dreaded place for 3 hours, my hair came out looking blackish-purple, & my scalp still itches! No more, I can screw up my own hair for alot less money, thanks..
I don't think he knows about me trimming my nose hairs, though! (tee-hee)
