Going "Au Natural"

I'll be the first to admit, I hate shaving my face (doesn't help that I have to take out a small loan just to buy razors!). I will admit that it doesn't much compare to the amount of most body shaving that women must endure! Now I would imagine that there are a lot of variables that would affect whether or not women shave their legs in the winter, but despite that I felt the question needed to be asked! Do you shave your legs in the winter?! Here we're some of the responses I received!

Melissa

An extra coat to keep the legs warm.... maybe for you, especially in the -45 windchill weather. But not for us. Gotta keep them all nice and clean(and smooth) all the time, or at least I agree on that.

Dawn
I swim in the winter...so yes I shave year round...lol.

Elizabeth
I shave Every day I love silky smooth legs

Kaylee
agreed!!! ^

Janet
No I'm a hairy beast right now! When its cold outside its like having on long Johns without the bulk. And when the hair gets long enough it goes soft past prickle

I also have a question to throw out to guys and girls as well: Assuming that there isn't gonna be as much shaving going on in the winter, would you rather short and prickly or long and soft?! LOL!!

4 Days till Idol!

And it's been far too long!!! But the wait is almost over! And things are changing a bit this year. Actually, a lot!

First off they're going back to the traditional semi-final format of 24 contestants which consists of 12 guys and 12 girls.

And of course, the new judges! Rotating guest judges for the audition episodes include the likes of Victoria Beckham, Mary J. Blige, Kristin Chenoweth, and Neil Patrick Harris. Ellen Degeneres joins the judges panel full time in February!

The thing I'm most looking forward to is April when I get to watch Idol and Glee back to back! :)
