why epilating and waxing is the way forward for me

hair removal epilating and waxing Panasonic epilatorWriting this in a middle of a pandemic, when we all have zero access to beauty salons to be waxed is strange. However the show must go on as they say, and they will one day be open again. Nevertheless, my love for epilating and waxing is still strong and I wanted to share that with you all.I remember writing a post a long time, and it was very much an ode to epilating. If you would like to read the post from a much younger Jodie, then here is the link, however, excuse me if I cringe at my past self. I’ve always had an off again, on again relationship with epilating. I really do believe shaving is a chore, especially in the bikini region and under my arms. I can just about tolerate shaving my legs, but one thing I don’t love about shaving anywhere else is the black shadow it leaves under my arms. This was my main motivating factor to epilate and purchase the Panasonic ES-ED93 Wet and Dry Epilator as an upgrade for its predecessor. I’ve been epilating my underarms since October 2019, and let me tell you, it has changed my life in a small way. To begin with, it was very much a painful chore, and what I imagine it would feel like to give yourself third degree sunburn under your arms. Nonetheless, I am persistent and here I am six months later. Epilating my underarms is no longer painful, takes about five minutes out of my day, I only have to do it once every three weeks, and not only is my hair regrowth thinner and sparser but that black shadow is non-existent now. Here’s hoping I can build up the courage to move onto my legs.

The main theme of this post is how I find shaving certain areas of my body a chore, and my bikini line is one of those. Since I started going to my local beauty salon to be waxed, I have never looked back. Even now, during lockdown with very limited options, I still am not looking back and am waiting with bated breath to return to regular waxes. I always find the first question I’m asked is how painful it is. To answer that question simply, it’s definitely no massage and isn’t comfortable, but it is tolerable and is over quickly. Each time you get waxed the pain isn’t the same, and by that I mean the pain diminishes each time as you would expect. Much like epilating, waxing also means that regrowth is sparser and slower, with longer periods of time between each session. Now I’ve started, I definitely won’t be returning to full time shaving, however anything goes at this moment in history.

What are your favourite options for hair removal?

I bought this beautiful cauldron wax burner and some wax melts to celebrate from @hauntinglycrafted 

I’ve started editing some blog photos again and I’m hoping to start blogging again soon. This obviously entirely depends on how lockdown treats me as a nurse but watch this space ✨
There’s a couple of new posts up on the blog. I There’s a couple of new posts up on the blog. 
I’m still trying to get back into writing posts, and all the work that comes with them. It feels nice to actually enjoy creating for my blog again. 
I’m also working on curating some sort of theme to my Instagram too, I’m not sure quite yet what that is, but hopefully by the end of the year I’ll have that one figured out. 
I hope you’re all staying safe on this lockdown and taking care 💖
So this picture was taken just after I got ready f So this picture was taken just after I got ready for my graduation in November (first class BN degree in nursing 👩🏼‍⚕️). Life has changed so much since then, I’m now a year qualified as a nurse, and I’m on the frontline of this global pandemic. I can’t stay at home, however if you’re not a key worker, please, please stay at home. I’ve moved out of my family home to protect my family from this virus, so please use common sense and practice social distancing as this pandemic is very real. I probably picked the worst time to restart my blog, however, now more than ever, I need a place to escape and keep myself sane. It may seem fun and lighthearted but that’s purposeful at this time. There’s a couple of new posts to read so if you fancy a form of escapism through blog reading, please consider mine. Happy Sunday to you all and stay safe, now more than ever 💕 #discoverunder1k #lifeandstyle
So I have a brand new post up on my blog. It’s a So I have a brand new post up on my blog. It’s all about where I’ve been these past few years really, just an update post. For anyone who has read it already, thank you so much. The world is a scary place right now. I hope my blog can be a safe, fun, lighthearted escape if you need it 💕
I’ve had a love for charity shopping and depop f I’ve had a love for charity shopping and depop for the longest time now. I always promised myself that when I returned to blogging, I’d share some of that love. One of my favourite accounts to follow for preloved clothing inspiration is @loulabxlle and I fully credit her for me having the confidence to post this. I saw @zoesugg share the @zara cord jacket on a recent IGTV and so I found it on depop naturally. The bodysuit is also Zara and everyone probably has this by now so it’s old news, but it is so flattering I have to mention it. The faux leather trousers are @topshop and are super comfy. This is a super long, rambly post but thank you for reading this far. I also want to say that I have a blog post coming out tomorrow so be sure to give it a read if you have the time
Hello 💕 It’s been a long time since I posted Hello 💕
It’s been a long time since I posted on here. In short I’m back. I’m currently working behind the scenes at jodieloue to get some posts photographed, written and scheduled. It’s taken years for me to be bitten again by the blogging bug and this time I’m hoping it’ll stay. I thought a picture of me to start my Instagram journey again was fitting. Not much has changed, other than I’m blonde and I’m on a proper, committed quest for clear skin (how I wish I was blessed with both of those genes). The blogging community has changed so much since I was last apart of it, but I’m hoping there’s still a space for me in it.
