Hey ladies - a little personal question 🙃 I used to get brazilian waxes every 6 weeks but stopped because I moved to a different state. I got one a month ago for the first time in 9 months, and noticed that the regrowth this time is super itchy, scaly, and inflamed/bumpy despite regular exfoliation. Do y’all have any tips for soothing skin in this state? It’s so uncomfortable. The esthetician also lifted part of my skin, which is taking a while to heal bc my garments rub against it. Help 😭

And on a side note you could always try laser hair removal!

I definitely don’t plan on it. It just sucks because there isn’t another place in town I could go, and I think it’s a combination burn/allergic reaction/potential infection (I’ve never had an infection before, I just have a million ingrown hairs that are also so so itchy)

Bette make sure it’s not a staph infection

I’d start with neosporin, some ibuprofen, stop exfoliating, and consider a doctor

witch hazel and the neosporin helped a lot!!! the inflammation and itchiness is basically non existent now, thank you for that tip

once you fix your problem try doing sugaring instead if you dont want laser. its much better and try to find speacialized salons for that

Isn’t that still waxing?

Seeking advice on what to do career wise.

I’m still in my first year at Deloitte as a campus-hire. Feeling like this position isn’t for me, not fully enjoying what I’m doing, don’t feel like my coworkers value my work/me (I only work with men), and feeling like I am not getting adequate opportunities to grow my knowledge/experience in the work I do and also cross-department opportunities.

Should I wait it out and see? How do I get connected to try different things at the company?

In my early 30s, single and realizing i barely have friends. Technically i have a bunch of friends all over the country (thanks to me moving around quite a bit) but not where I live so i don't see them as often. I shed a few so called friends post-pandemic who were flakey, some got married and spend most of their time with their families. I have like 2 people to invite for my birthday. Is that natural for 30s to have little friends or do i need to re-evaluate my life?
