What’s going on beanie babes! Here’s hoping that you catch up on all of your emails, swiftly create all of your collages, format every post, fold and put away that laundry, and that laundry, file your taxes, paint your nails, make that hair appointment, kiss your girl, organize your planner, dye those eggs, boil them first, do the yoga, soak your air plants and get some sleep this weekend. Or, you know, whatever it is you deeply need/want to do. Yay life!

+ Hey did you want to think about body hair for a few minutes? Happy trails! I used to bleach my stomach hair in high school with a box of Sally Hansen hair bleach, which burned like hell and left me blotchy and raw. Then I would actually pray to a god I didn’t even believe in and make promises like “Please please if you make this horrific chemical burn on my stomach go away I promise I will NEVER ever bleach my stomach hair again EVER!” And then I did it again a few months later. Maybe that god should’ve just had my stomach hair grown in white to begin with, or maybe that god should’ve let me live in a matriarchal society that celebrated my body just doing its damn thing. I recently stopped shaving my underarms because I was bored and wanted to know what my pit hair looked like and guess what? That shit is fucking MAJESTIC. Like two glorious armpit beards. Anyway though! Happy trails! Think about it. Or don’t.
