Strip Ministry of Waxing’s Brazilian Gingerbread Wax

December’s busy social calendar often contains a party or two in your pants. Let’s be adults about it for a second – many forms of holiday cuddling and snuggling don’t always have very wholesome conclusions. Why do you think so many people are born in September?

Hello, Adulthood: Some Vanity-Related Life Updates

Two important vanity-related things have happened to me since my last blog post:

One: I finally cut my hair short
