That Grey Hair Moment

Recently I have discovered that the hair in my pubic area is greying at a faster rate than the rest of my hair. Actually it’s the only place where I have grey hair! Now, imagine my surprise when trying to investigate this finding out that in general pubic hair is 12 years younger than your normal hair and for most people it takes a lot longer to start turning grey.



Shock! What could this mean! I’m a woman in her early thirties who has been around the block a couple of times; actually I’m very well acquainted with the block. First thought that came to my mind was, am I the only person suffering from this phenomenon! So I go to my trusted friend Mr Google and type in “grey pubic hair”.  Ah ha! More than 2 million hits hooray I am not alone, there is safety in numbers!



As I go through some of these sites trying to glean off some pearls of wisdom about my greying nether region. I am hit by the hilarity of frantic reaction that most women display when posting their concerns regarding this! I mean people it’s just grey hair why so many “I wonder what my husband/boyfriend will think about it” posts! Have to control my gag reflexes on that one.


Imagine my surprise at discovering that there is even a dye on the market for the hair down there. Apparently you can go blonde, brown, auburn, black and even party pink (don’t ask). At this I just started getting images of myself sitting in the bathroom, reading the instructions for the umpteenth time (cause I don’t want to make very painful/uncomfortable mistakes), applying the dye, trying to avoid getting dye into certain sensitive areas, waiting for the dye, then a knock. You know that no matter how hard you try and plan on doing it when no one is around either a knock or a phone will disturb you when you least want it to. You’re wearing nothing from the waist down; you’re worried about timing, now you’re running around like a headless chicken not sure whether to wash the dye off first or open the door…..NO! There is a reason why we leave hair colouring to the professionals. And until there is a professional salon that takes care of colouring the hair down there, I will keep my grey thank you very much!

The era of the divorced and others.....?

In my age group I'm what you might call a unicorn... In my lifetime I've never been married nor had kids. Now don't expect me to update you on my age, look at the bio and do some arithmetic.... I digress. Back to what I was saying regarding being a unicorn. What makes me even more of a rarity is the fact I've been engaged a couple of times and decided to break them off, stories for another time! I've never wanted to have kids out of wedlock, for selfish reasons really.... I just did not want to end up raising a child alone! Raising kids is HARD work, marriage is HARD work and no wants to do either alone, I just never found anyone who understood this and was willing to make the commitment and stick to it no matter what! I'm old fashioned like that...and I also like a guy whose a gentleman. Mmmh...the bygone era of true gentleman. Lord this blog reads like a dating profile, not at all intended! Anyway last week I was chatting to a friend who was telling me that h...

To tattoo or not to tattoo?

 Family Tree Tattoo For a while now I have been toying with the idea of getting myself a tattoo. Every time I see someone brandishing some beautiful ink on their bodies, I always get a pang of envy and wonder when I’ll finally get round to doing it. I’ve always had a love for beautiful art and tattoos are no exception but had an issue with the permanence of them. With the advancement in laser surgery and tattoo removals I’m assured of some form of escape in case I change my mind after the deed is done. Finding the right artist for what I wanted has been another hurdle. I’m very picky and finding someone who is both imaginative and interpretive can be a tall order in our country and even more so in the small town I stay in. The artists I’ve come across are very capable of bringing whatever picture you present them to life on your skin but it’s the interpretation that turns it into art. I’m the sappy and sentimental type therefore any tattoo of mine will have emotional an...
