Cyrsti's Condo "What If?"

Dammit! Who is that at the door -home early? http://cyrstiscondo-cyrsti.blogspot.com/Dammit Honey!!! You said I could wear your new skirt tonight!!!!


Summer Legs

1Tbsp of iodine 2% 1Cup of baby oil Rub your hairy area with the mixture and let set for only 5 minutes. Then gently wipe away with a damp cloth. Viola!!!! NO MORE HAIR!I found this idea on Pinterest and the guys legs reminded me of how mine used to look "back in the day" before age and HRT took over.

To make a long story short, I went through periods of time when I couldn't shave my legs and then when I did-I faced what the guy is facing in the picture.  I was known to clog a few bathtub drains.  The problem I faced also was I hated the smell of the hair removers too.



Here's this recipe:

1Tbsp of iodine 2% 1Cup of baby oil Rub your hairy area with the mixture and let set for only 5 minutes. Then gently wipe away with a damp cloth. Viola!!!! NO MORE HAIR!


As with anything else though-I would test this idea on a small part of your legs!

My problem in summer is my legs have the "snow white" look of the person above.  To give them a little color I use one of the popular tanning moisturizers. I had to really practice to use them correctly to not leave me looking orange or streaked when I go bare legged.

Mom's Gram

Well, my first mammogram has come and gone and no it's not the torture my genetic friends were harassing me with. Can you imagine that?  Bitches!!! :)

On the plus side (in this case only)  I'm still relatively smallish in breast size...so the more your add, the more uncomfortable the process can become.  Also, for some reason, I have never lost my problem with taking my shirt or top off. Although today, I was a little reticent in front of the nurse (genetic).

On the spooky side (before Friday the 13th) , the woman who signed my VA approval to pay for all of this, name is spelled exactly the same as my Mom's. (Few are.)

As I have written here in Cyrsti's Condo, although Mom was of the "greatest generation" it's safe to say, her crowd wasn't the most "diverse" in their thinking. On the other hand though she was always paranoiac about developing breast cancer as her Mom (Grandma) did in the 50's.  Perhaps I noticed the name to just feel like she approved of me doing this.
