Ordinarily I would simply lurk and just meander about the board being nosey. I wouldn't usually shy away from sharing personal observations with DH or my female family members but... I couldn't do this to them. So sorry Mumsnet but it seems you've copped the short straw again.
My reason for posting is that since the birth of my second child, some short months ago, I've noticed, well, that I'm falling apart. Grey hairs seems to appear so fast that home dyes are doing nothing and I've actually considered using a sharpie on my roots some days. In addition to that I'm still fond of my somewhat baggy maternity leggings and am suffering from a serious case of frumpy mummy. I'm 34. I need help. Especially now. The real reason for my post. Now I'm not sure if this is down to two lots of pregnancy hormones but alarmingly I seem to have a beard. It's not even November ffs. I'd noticed, getting older, a steady increase in hairs where they shouldn't be. I dealt with them with the aid of my tweezers, and where I wasn't exactly ecstatic about them, I'd made peace with it. But now. I'm a yeti. I am not sure how or when this occurred but yesterday, out if my chin - a rogue chin pube. It had a life of its own. Deceptively light until I pulled it and spring, it didn't come out it just sat there all bouncy looking exactly like a pube. I've probably said pube to many times now. Unsure of the etiquette.
But now you see my dilemma. I couldn't discuss it with my RL people because frankly, you can not unsee that kind of stuff and I just know they'd be checking me out for strays! So my reason for posting is to gather sage advice from you lot. Obvs I've removed the offender but it's bound to return with a vengeance! So Mumsnet, what tips to you have to looking polished, how can I fake it so I grow older a little more elegantly? Any help greatly appreciated.
