Me too! I didn't realise until recently that a lot of people fill their brows in. I have mine threaded, but only a few times a year as they don't seem to grow very much anymore. They are also quite a bit darker than my hair, which is weird.

I have almost white eyebrows, left to their own devices. Not attractive. On the upside though, all my body hair is pale so if I get a bit lazy no one notices :)

Atypical double impulseish buy at House of Fraser at lunchtime, as I finally found jumpers that fit nicely (ie, not so tight it sits on my lumpy bits, not so chunky I just get lost in it) and aren't itchy.

The blue one has a leopard print on the collar


I will now make this my fashion mantra.

Innit :D It's the one bit of being a girl I'm good at. Cos I have such massive dark brows and a monobrow if left to it's own devices, I've had to tweeze since my late teens. Now I'm in my late ( :mad: ) 30s, I only have to do a touch up about 3 times a year cos I've plucked the fuck out of them for the last 20 years :D

I have really dark thick eyebrows and a headful of thick dark curly hair which people tell me they are envious of.
On the other hand all of my body hair is thick and dark too, left to their own devices (which they often are in the winter) my legs and armpits are hairier than my bloke's :oops:

ETA: I would like to point out that my bloke is a redhead so has pale body hair!

I would also sport a monobrow if I didn't get my brows waxed a few times a year.

Swings and roundabouts innit :D
 
My daughter is looking set to have lovely shaped full eyebrows. Which are having a bit of a moment right now. Sadly I suspect non existent 'surprise!' brows will probably be back in by the time she's a teenager. I remember all those 14 year olds about 10 years ago making themselves look like mad old ladies with their plucked to death brows.

I like my brows, they could maybe be tidied just a tiny bit, but I'm a bit scared to go down that path.

snap! i need to fill in my eyebrows and wear mascara or i look a bit ill. i have done the tinting thing quite a few times but i find it makes my eyebrows a tad too dark, i need a light brown. and my eyelashes have no natural curl so i still feel the need for mascara as well.

and i shave my legs maybe once every couple of months. you can't tell at all except very close up i get stubbly knees! it is nicer when they're smooth but not so much i care.
 
Cloo have you never plucked, waxed or threaded your brows? I love the look of neat and tidy brows so much so it's one of the first things I notice on a person. I'm rubbish at doing mine and find it very painful but despite this for the past 20 years or so I have them done monthly. I now have them threaded but it used to be plucking done by my sister, then waxing and now threading which costs £5. I think you should try it at least once as IMO tidy brows bring such a lovely definition to a persons face & eyes. I have mine following the natural line of my brow and just have a tidy up so all the hairs are in a sleek line.
 
It makes my eyes stream with water..but despite such horror stories manicured brows are def worth what it takes to get them IMHO.

I use their black tint and leave it on for half the suggested time as I am ash blonde- the brown is too dark or too warm iyswim. Experimentation ftw :)

Everyone has their 'thing'- I am obsessed with feet and have no idea why you wouldn't moisturise and trim your toe nails before wearing sandals or flip flops... Summer is hell :)

I never used to do anything with mine, apart from plucking them in the centre so they didn't meet.
I started having them waxed about 7 or 8 years ago and it makes such a difference, I agree that it adds definition to my face and eyes and instantly makes me looked more groomed.
I only need to get them done about 4 times a year and I always stress that I don't want them really thin. I usually say "about twice as thick as yours" when the girl in the salon asks me how thin I want to go :D

You should give it a go Cloo
 
My new man socks have arrived and I'm not sure about them. :hmm:

Perhaps they'll settle down after washing.
Perhaps my feet are simply too warm indoors.

52% Cotton, 28% Polyester, 18% Acrylic and 2% Elastane.
I'm used to 100 percent cotton.
 
Black t-shirt (brand new I think), really nice midnight blue scratchy wool jumper dress, crocheted (looks made by hand) purple and tan hat, all charity shop buys.

Got these last week from mountain warehouse - were £39.99 now £19.99, today they've got an extra 20% off everything , so getting another pair as daughter loves them ( which is unheard of seeing as i like them too)...now we need snow to road test them. Really light and comfy.They do up with big velcro strip so shouldn't flap around calves.
