On today’s episode of The Classi Ladi Corner podcast, I share with you my experiences of getting waxed. Some people think that getting your intimate areas waxed isn’t appropriate for ladies of a certain age, but I say - if you want to do it, then do it! Try it once, and if it doesn’t work out for you, then you don’t have to go back. Trying out new things and not being afraid of what other people think is part of what being a Classi Ladi is about.

I’ve been getting waxed for about a year now, and even though it hurt at first, I’m really glad that it’s a part of my life. I even enjoy it! I know that it’s a big step to take, so in this episode I give you my top tips for how to make waxing safer and less painful. I also list the top five benefits of getting waxed, which is what keeps me going to my waxing salon every month.

If The Classi Ladi Corner podcast has inspired you to try waxing or to step outside of your comfort zone and do something new, please let me know! I love hearing your stories!

On today’s episode of The Classi Ladi Corner podcast, I sit down and get real about one of the hardest things about being a woman: that invisible expiration date that’s hanging above your head. It’s there in our dating lives, it’s there in our careers, it’s there in how other people perceive us, and we bake it into our perception of ourselves. It’s the reason why we pay our hard-earned dollars on painful, dangerous procedures to try to stay looking fresh. I say no more! Why do we put ourselves through this?

I give you my thoughts on aging, which is that we should embrace it and get rid of that mental pressure that we put on ourselves. It ain’t easy, and it’s something that I’m still working on, but it begins with accepting ourselves at every age that we are. We’ve been through some things, we’ve suffered a little bit, we’ve fallen down and had to pick ourselves up again, but everything that we’ve experienced has shaped us into who we are. Don’t allow the pressure of society to throw away your experience, your wisdom and your judgment. You shouldn’t hide your best qualities just because someone else doesn’t value them. We don’t exist just to have babies and serve others. We can live our lives for ourselves and there’s no date limit by when we have to achieve that.

So embrace yourself, love your natural age, take care of yourself and don’t forget to subscribe to The Classi Ladi Corner and share this episode with someone you know who needs to hear this message.
