For over a decade, women have carefully groomed their body hair, often conforming to societal standards of beauty. However, in recent times, advocates of body positivity have embraced the idea of celebrating a woman’s freedom to choose. Shaving legs and armpits? Some women are saying, “No, thanks!”
Enter Sara Puhto and Bella Davis, two young women leading the charge on Instagram by promoting body positivity and self-love. They proudly show off their “imperfections,” encouraging other women to embrace and love their bodies just as they are, regardless of societal expectations.
“I would never wear a bikini with a full hairy bikini line like this, never, not even if paid. Beyond the gender issues, there are cultural factors too. I was born and raised in the country where the waxing technique originated,” one of them shares.
On the other hand, some people hold a different view: “It’s unhygienic, don’t fool yourselves, just because you don’t want to shave or wax. The rest of your body is fine to keep the hair, but armpit and pubic hair should be removed, at least once a month.”
Meanwhile, some assert, “If you keep it personal, you should be free from judgment. But if you flaunt it publicly, you shouldn’t expect to be immune from criticism.”
Both sides of the debate showcase the ongoing conversation about personal choices, body hair, and the freedom to embrace one’s natural self.
Vivek Ramaswamy, who was appointed by President Trump as co-chair of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), will not be taking on the role. Hours after the announcement, sources confirmed he was no longer associated with DOGE.
Ramaswamy, a biotech entrepreneur and former presidential candidate, is set to announce his run for Ohio governor next week. Although he helped launch DOGE alongside Elon Musk, the organization’s structure requires him to step aside. This shift comes after Ohio Governor Mike DeWine’s decision to appoint Jon Husted to the Senate, prompting Ramaswamy to pursue his gubernatorial ambitions.
Following a disappointing finish in the Iowa caucuses during his presidential bid, Ramaswamy became an outspoken Trump supporter, which could boost his chances in the red state of Ohio.

Aging is inevitable, but that doesn’t mean you have to feel dissatisfied with how you look and feel. As a woman in my 60s, I can confidently say I feel more vibrant, healthy, and confident than ever before! I love what I see in the mirror, and my skin has never looked better.
While aging is a natural process, most of us want to maintain a youthful, radiant appearance for as long as possible. Over the past decade, I’ve discovered simple yet powerful strategies that have helped me slow down the aging process—from skincare and nutrition to hair and lifestyle choices. Now, I’m excited to share my best anti-aging tips to help you look and feel younger than your calendar age!
Your eyebrows shape and define your face, playing a crucial role in maintaining a youthful appearance. Keep them well-groomed, shaped, and filled in to enhance your eyes and give your face a lifted look.
Excess sugar accelerates aging by promoting inflammation, which can lead to wrinkles, dull skin, and even brain fog. If cutting it out completely feels overwhelming, start by switching to natural alternatives like monk fruit sweetener and satisfying your sweet cravings with fresh fruits.
Your body regenerates while you sleep, making it one of the most powerful anti-aging tools. Lack of sleep increases stress hormones, which can lead to premature aging. Start by gradually adjusting your bedtime 15 minutes earlier each week, and reduce screen time before bed to help your body produce melatonin naturally.
From household cleaners to skincare products, harsh chemicals can overburden your body’s detox system, leading to chronic inflammation. Opt for natural alternatives in everything from your home cleaning supplies to hair and skincare routines.
Grapes and other fruits like plums and berries contain sorbitol, a natural humectant that helps your skin retain moisture. Incorporating these into your diet, along with proper skincare, keeps your skin hydrated and glowing.
Your face is often the first place to show signs of aging. A simple, effective skincare routine can keep your skin youthful and radiant. Essentials include:
✔ Retinol (Vitamin A) for skin renewal
✔ A high-quality neck cream for firming
✔ Daily sunscreen to prevent sun damage
Harsh soaps and alcohol-based toners can dry out your skin and emphasize fine lines. Switch to gentle cleansers and hydrating moisturizers to maintain a fresh, youthful glow.
Hair naturally thins with age, but the right haircut and products can add volume and vibrancy. Regular deep conditioning treatments help nourish and strengthen your hair, keeping it looking thick and healthy. Whether you embrace your natural gray or experiment with color, find a style that makes you feel your best!
A bright, confident smile instantly makes you look younger. If you’re self-conscious about your teeth, start by whitening them at home. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene can prevent gum disease and enhance your overall appearance.
Your hands can give away your age, so take care of them! Apply hand cream regularly, exfoliate with lemon and salt, and always use sunscreen to prevent sun damage.
Nutrition plays a huge role in maintaining youthful skin.
✔ Vitamin K (found in kale, spinach, and Brussels sprouts) reduces bruising and promotes even skin tone.
✔ Lycopene (from tomatoes and red vegetables) helps protect against sun damage and improves skin elasticity.
Salmon and other oily fish contain DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol), which improves muscle tone and is a common ingredient in high-end anti-aging creams. Eating oily fish twice a week can enhance both your skin and cognitive function.
Regular physical activity keeps your body strong, improves circulation, and promotes better sleep. A combination of cardio, strength training, stretching, and balance exercises helps maintain muscle tone and bone density, keeping you feeling youthful and strong.
Makeup is a powerful tool to highlight your natural beauty. Focus on soft, creamy textures rather than glittery or powdery products that can settle into fine lines. A glowing, natural look can instantly make you appear more youthful.
True beauty comes from within, and how you present yourself plays a huge role in how youthful you appear. My Dressing Your Truth system helps you discover the best colors, fabrics, and styles for your energy type, allowing you to radiate confidence and youthfulness.
Aging doesn’t mean losing your vibrancy. With the right habits and mindset, you can look and feel younger while embracing the beauty of every stage of life. Start incorporating these tips today and enjoy the confidence that comes with looking and feeling your best!

Allergic Reaction to Artificial Sweeteners
I’m allergic to artificial sweeteners and learned this the hard way. My sister-in-law, who is diabetic, made a dessert using artificial sweetener, and after having a piece, I suffered for hours. Your information was really helpful, so thank you!
Insect Bites and Benadryl Relief
I’ve been getting bitten by insects since I was a little girl, and it’s not unusual for me to wake up with my lips swollen. Typically, the bites happen on the outside of my lips, but a few nights ago, it happened on the inside of my mouth, which was strange. I think I need to learn to sleep with my mouth closed! Either way, Benadryl definitely works for me. Interestingly, though, the back of the Benadryl box doesn’t mention it as a treatment for insect bites. I’m guessing generic versions of Benadryl would probably help with insect bites too.
Tingling, Itching, and Swelling Around the Mouth
What could be causing tingling and itching around my mouth without cold sores? I’ve never had cold sores, but I’ve been experiencing a lot of itching, occasional swelling, and tingly sensations around my lips and mouth, sometimes extending to my chin. Anyone else experience this?
Food Allergies and Lip Swelling
Thank you for the helpful video! I had some hard bumps develop on my body, and my lips swelled. After taking a blood test for food allergies, I found out I’m allergic to shrimp and sesame seeds. However, my lip is swollen again, but I haven’t had any issues with my tongue or swallowing. I’m going to take an allergy test soon, likely a skin test, and I hope it helps clarify what’s going on. How can I know if a food I’m not allergic to is still the cause of these reactions? Will the skin test be more accurate?
Unexpected Lip Swelling After Eating Fish
Yesterday, I woke up with swelling in my upper lip. Within the hour, I felt twitching in my cheek and a little in my eye. It went away within an hour. Later, I had fish for lunch, and immediately my lip swelled, and I felt tightness in my throat and chest. I went to the doctor, and they gave me antihistamines and cortisone. I’m feeling better now, but throughout the day, I’ve still felt some tension in my arms and tightness in my throat. I’m supposed to take medication for three days. I’ve never had allergies before, and it was very scary, but I hope it’s just an allergy I need to figure out.
Random Lip Swelling with No Known Triggers
I don’t think I have any of the issues mentioned, but my lip randomly swelled up twice—once on Wednesday at 11 p.m. and again today (Friday) at the same time. I’ve been writing it down so if it doesn’t calm down, I can go to the doctor. I should mention I’ve been smoking on and off for about seven years. I’m not allergic to anything, and I haven’t eaten or been bitten by anything around the time of swelling. I don’t think it’s herpes unless it can remain dormant for months or years. It’s so random, and I don’t know what to do.
Palm Itching and Lip Swelling After Drinking Mocha Frappe
My palm started itching, and then I felt a tingling, itching, and burning sensation in my lip. After about 20 minutes, my lip swelled. This all happened about an hour after drinking a mocha frappe. I’ve had these before, but I haven’t had one in a while. Now I’m just putting a cold, wet washcloth on my lip, but it’s been an hour and a half, and the swelling still hasn’t gone down.
I’ve kept your core messages intact while improving readability and clarity. Let me know if you need any further revisions!
