Spring is finally in bloom! It is time for shorts, skirts and sundresses. But there is a little housekeeping to do in the meantime. You know what I am talking about girls…shaving our legs.

It is time to pull those legs out from hibernation and put your razor to work. We all do it. Staying so under wraps all winter long it just seems right to skip shaving, but the Louisiana heat is starting to go into full effect.

I know it is such a daily struggle to shave and to shave well. Almost every time I shave I have that one strip on my leg I forget, you know what I mean! I have thought long and hard about waxing, but I can’t imagine doing the deed myself.

With all the crazy chemical products out there like Nair and Sally Hansen’s extensive line of waxes I would almost feel like Walter White trying to concoct a perfect remedy of removing simple leg hair.

But what are our alternatives? Could we go full on hippie and let our legs be free of the razor forever? No we weren’t raised by wolves. Would we go as far as laser treatments so we could shed a few minutes off our daily shower? Not likely.

It is something that we must struggle with until the days our arthritis doesn’t allow us to bend over anymore. Until then shave away…literally.

You know the saying “The struggle is real,” it was meant for women shaving their legs. And don’t allow the fellas to try to one up us either.

They may or may not want to shave their face everyday, which we learned from the Robertsons is an accepted look to achieve, but legs are totally different.

But let’s look past that shall we. A couple of concerns to think about is razor safety. Don’t use old razors from before winter break, germs are everywhere.

Try not to share razors. Not only do you imagine their dead skin cells all over your razor, but again germs are everywhere. To clean your razor, remember to hold it upside down underneath the faucet.

Shaving gel dries out your legs, so save the money and lather up with your regular soap. And, of course, never ever shave your legs dry. Ouch.

The summer rays will feel so much better with a hairless leg. Let the shaving begin!
