noshember.

so as the month of october was coming to an end mel and i kept hearing about noshember and how all of the men on campus would soon become scruffy.

mel and i made the joke that we would join them in noshember when we were informed that girls were not allowed to participate.

so this made us want to do it even more.

so i dared mel to do it. 

and the kid hates losing just as much as i do so pretty soon we had a bet on which of us could last the longest.

on december 1st at 12 a.m. our competition ended in a tie when we had a shaving party.

[fact: it took us a solid half hour to shave.]

i know you can't see it, but this was our very last picture as wooly mammoths.

we were super crusty with our leg hair.

i did not think it was possible for me to grow that much leg hair!

mel and i waited around the house for two hours just waiting for them time when we could officially shave and not lose the bet. can i just say that i am so happy that we made the bet with an official end date.

caution: viewer discretion is advised for these next few photos.

not only are we nasty for participating in noshember, but we also could not shave without having some sense of proof so yes, we saved our leg hairs. 

and there was a ton of hair.

and it was long!

we should have considered donating it to locks of love!

so we're nasty.

no biggie.

i am proud to report that my legs now feel fabulous.

and i now participate in shevry day.

[i shave every single day.]

did you know:

1. leg hair starts out super prickly and when rubbed against something it hurts...and can cut you.

2. leg hair is itchy! seriously, do not even think about calf length socks, skinny jeans, or boots unless you are ready to pay the consequence of hours of itching.

3. leg hair becomes petable after it grows out so long.

4. planning your church outfits around your hairy legs is actually really hard. hello boots, tights, and long dresses.

5. if you sit too close to the fireplace you may singe your leg hairs.

6. you DO look manly.

7. leg hair hurts!!

i will never do noshember again, but it was fun while it lasted.

although i was happy to welcome back my spandex and smooth legs.
