What’s something really stupid and/or painful you’ve done in the pursuit of beauty?

1. About 25 years ago, I came home drunk from a night out and decided that was a good time to dye my hair black.

   I realised when I washed the dye off that I had managed also to dye large patches of the fine hairs on my face.

   I decided the best way to deal with this was to use bleach based surface cleaner on my face. When this wasn’t effective I decided to use hair removal cream. This did work, in that it removed the unwanted dyed hairs. It also removed patches of skin from my face.

   I have done *many* stupid things in my life but this one was up there.

2. Relaxers for 18-19 years

3. When I was in the middle of my teen years, I thought people shaved their eyebrows in shape, with a rasor just your legs etc. Oh man, I ended up accidentally taking off quite a lot of my eye brows, because ofc, it’s a razor. My mom definitely noticed and that’s the day I got yelled at for putting a sharp blade next to my eyes.

4. Got plasma pen treatment. It did nothing

5. Straved myself

6. I went on a “weightloss journey” and started abusing my body so bad, I lost a lot of weight, and my period, and developed a severe eating disorder.

   Being fat and healthy is better ♥️

7. When I was in highschool I use to wear those tights that go over your waist to make it look smaller because I thought I was fat
