Women are the sneakiest creatures of all.

4 Kind Of Gross Things Most Women Do But Don't Talk About

While many women share unconventional beauty, lifestyle, and style habits with the world daily via social media, blogs, and YouTube, there are some things so gross(ish) that we tend to keep them to ourselves. Why do we do this? I think the main reason is that most of us don't realize those weird beauty customs we do are more common than we actually think. And honestly, they're not really that gross anymore if everyone is doing it, right?

Here are four things we girls do but don't talk about (yes, you're not alone).

1. Only wash our bras like once a month.

Let's face it: We all have that favorite bra or two that we wear every day and barely ever wash. Maybe we'll throw it in with a load of laundry every now and then, but usually, that thing is going right back on after the shower or in the morning. Sometimes, we may even throw it in the laundry basket only to fish it out later when we can't cope with the uncomfortable back-up bra.

2. Shave our faces.

This isn't something I've personally been doing for a long time. However, after falling deep down the rabbit hole of beauty tutorials on YouTube recently, I stumbled upon a lot of videos in which popular beauty gurus claimed that shaving the peach fuzz off of the face makes foundation glide on so much smoother and overall makeup looks appear a million times more flawless. After trying it, I'm never going back. If you haven't tried this one yet, I recommend it. And no, your peach fuzz won't grow back thicker. That's only a myth.

3. Shove our fallen hairs onto the shower wall.

You know when you're washing your hair and get normal fallout but don't know what to do with the hairs? Many of us end up shoving them onto the shower wall. We tell ourselves we'll grab them and throw them away after the shower is over, but it never happens. The hairs remain in majestic clumps on the wall until they dry and fall, eventually clogging the shower drain. How wonderful.

4. Shave our feet.

Aaaaaand back to gross shaving habits. Believe it or not, many women get foot and toe hair, and there's no way we're letting those be seen. So, we are forced to shave them so that the embarrassment of the fact isn't opened like a can of worms - right after shaving our faces, of course.


At the end of the day, all women are beautiful in their own ways. Whether we're shaving or waxing every inch of our bodies, trimming our nose hairs, wearing the same bra or jeans for five weeks in a row, or who knows what else we weirdos do, we are not alone in our beauty and life endeavors.

Embrace every flaw and continue to live life whatever way makes you feel beautiful.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
