I just returned from an overnight business trip.
As on most trips, I always forget something. ALWAYS...not matter how careful I think I am being.
This trip was no exception but the item left behind on this particular trip was - my tweezers.
As a peri-menopausal woman who is of Irish/English heritage, tweezers are standard equipment in the fight against poky chin hairs!
This is a constant, daily battle with me.
It is almost an obsession.
Once I feel one of these whisker like protuberances break through it's follicle, I am there to pluck it!
Anyway - I felt one such hair on my drive to the hotel last night.
Of course when I am aware of one of these pesky projections...I can't stop playing with it. By the time I got to the hotel...I had a large red blotch on my chin. Nothing like calling attention to a poky chin hair than surrounding it with a big red blotch!
I run up to my room...grab my toiletry bag...NO TWEEZERS!
Aaaagggghhh!
Then I thought...well...maybe I can pull it out with just my fingernails in a pincher like fashion.
Two things wrong with that scenario -
- I keep my nails really short
- Peri-menopausal chin hairs have very stubborn and very long roots.
I was going to have to wait until I got home.
Luckily the red spot that surround the microscopic hair that only I can feel but could not see, was gone in the morning. I almost had to sit on my hands during my meeting so I didn't start playing with the damn thing all over again.
:::sigh:::
Time to make that electrolysis appointment that I keep putting off.

not on my face...around my belly button. still, pretty annoying.
So, your options are:
1. Grow your nails longer.
2. Buy tweezers in bulk and place them everywhere around your house, car, purse, suitcases, etc.
3. Embrace your chin hair follicles and do like Rosie did (put beads on them)
4. Become Swedish.
Belly Button hairs and beads on the chin hairs.
Just a few more things in life to contemplate!
hmmmmmmmmm
