How I Get Smooth Skin: Laser Hair Removal

Let's talk everything SKIN.  I'm always talking about skincare, my favorite products, my skincare routine, and the works, but I don't really talk much about how hairy I am.

I'm not one to shy away from this topic...I mean, we ALL have hair. I just happen to have a whole lot of it!  I have dark, thick hair...everywhere.

I started shaving when I was 8 or 9.  I think I was in 4th grade, and I remember getting made fun of for how hairy my legs were.  LOL, did this happen to anyone else?!  From then on, I've always shaved.  I waxed a few times growing up, but the cost, upkeep, and PAIN of waxing was crazy to me.

I'm the girl who always has a little peach fuzz under my arms.  At the same time, I'm always in the gym, wearing a tank top, or showing my arms.  

My first laser experience was with my under arms.  I did about 8 treatments and had an amazing experience, but I still needed some upkeep!

I reached out to Amerejuve on Shepherd in Houston in search of some serious help!  Summer will be here before I know it, and I need to be READY this season.

Y'all, I'm the type of girl who really doesn't shave every day.  I just can't be bothered, and I hate it.  I'll do my underarms, but shaving my legs is kind of like washing my hair to me.  It's a full process.  I'll go weeks sometimes without shaving.

Don't even get me started on bikini...When I have where to be, I shave, but it's a PAIN, literally.  Coarse, thick hair and shaving around that sensitive area just don't mix.

I went in for my first laser hair removal session with Amerejuve on Shepherd and am counting down the days till my second.  Andrea, the manager/laser tech, is AMAZING and made the (slightly) painful process so easy. I just felt like I was having a chit-chat with a girlfriend, with a hot laser around my sensitive areas!

I'll be doing my under arms, full legs, and bikini until I see full results.  I might've even had Andrea hit my stomach area too for those little stubborn hairs...

If you're following me on Instagram, you might've seen my story BTS at Amerejuve Shepherd while I was getting lasered.  I shared more of the office, what I was doing, etc.  You can still peep the story on my "laser hair removal" highlight!

For anyone wondering (I got a lot of questions), it hurts A LITTLE.  But come on, beauty is pain, and we go through a whole lot worse as women!  If you've ever waxed, trust me, this is a walk in the park.

I also got a ton of questions about the cost -- Amerejuve Shepherd offers different packages for their laser treatments, but we got y'all hooked UP!

Mention this post/my name to Amerejuve Shepherd and your first laser session on a small-medium area is ON ME.  Free 99!  They'll also give you 60% off your laser packages!  (Offer is only good at the Shepherd location)!

I seriously cannot wait until I'm shaving less and NEVER!  Buh-bye razors, I won't miss you at all!

Let me know if you guys have tried laser hair removal and what your results were!
