Ladies, it is that time of year again! Cuffing season, my ass. It’s 'No Shave November'! I don’t know about you all but this time of year I like to snuggle up with a blanket, drinking hot chocolate, and binge watching Netflix alone, emphasis on alone. Without a guy to impress and so many things to do, who has time and good reasons to shave? It’s a process to do so and if all the guys aren’t shaving their faces, why is it so wrong for us to stop shaving for a month too? Most girls out there refuse to officially announce their participation; you know you still have these thoughts throughout the month of November, and all of winter really.

1. “Want to make a bet on who goes longest without shaving?”

2. “I’m wearing pants anyways so no one will see my legs.”

3. “Maybe I’ll do it tomorrow.”

4. “I’m too cold to get in the shower.”

5. “It’s not like I have anyone to impress anyways.”

6. “It gives me an extra layer of warmth”

7. “I don’t have enough time to shave.”

8. “I’m already in too deep. There’s no point now.”

9. “If the guys don’t shave their faces, then I’m not shaving my legs”

10. “It’s called No Shave November for a reason!”

Now this month of November has been pretty wild so far. I mean 80 degrees on November 1st?! It’s feeling more like September than November so far. But it is anticipated to be a brutal winter. So maybe this year it won’t be 'No Shave November' for us but 'No Shave The Entire Winter' instead. While most of the time it is totally unintentional to participate, all of us ladies experience 'No Shave November' for a majority of the month, purposefully or not. And we all have the same excuses every year. It’s just something that happens and slips out of our control without us realizing. All of the sudden we look at our legs and it looks like we are back in our awkward middle school stage of whether it’s time to start shaving or not. Apologies boys, it’s just what happens. Sorry, we're not sorry. It really saves us a lot time and we get to take advantage of having to wear pants in this cold weather. So thank goodness for leggings and big sweatshirts. But that’s a whole other winter trend. So for now put those razors on hold and let it grow. Embrace it.
