Do women need to use a nose hair trimmer?

First, it was armpit hair and now, it’s nose hair. I shouldn’t be surprised if my readers start to think that I’m kind of hairy. But hairy I am not, just that I do have some hairy issues. Like once in a few months, I find myself having to trim my nose hair when it gets longer. I thought it was quite normal until I found out that nose hair trimmers are marketed toward men because they typically have more problems with overgrown nasal hair than women! And that’s because nose hair growth is regulated by the female hormone estrogen. Since men produce significantly lower quantities of estrogen, their nose hair grows longer and coarser. *GASP* So what that does that mean for me?

Skechers Tone-ups: FitFlop look-alike or more?

I’ve been gripped by a shoe mania and was really in the mood for some new footwear yesterday. Originally, I had planned to get a pair of new heels but ended up with this! Skechers Tone-ups Meow Wedge Sandal complete with stitching accents and center disk detail. Doesn’t it resemble a FitFlop? Well, it seems to work like one too as it is said to tone and strengthen muscles in back, buttocks and legs as well as promote weight loss with regular use. The key difference is that Skechers Tone-ups sandals feature a unique, soft kinetic wedge insert and dynamic rolling bottom to mimic the sensation of walking barefoot over soft ground. Actually I couldn’t really tell the difference because it feels as comfortable as my FitFlop but retails at a lower price tag! I even saw one in the same design as my Electra FitFlop!
