No Shave November?!

What is No Shave November you might ask?

According to Urban Dictionary No Shave November is:

"A celebration for males & females that startes November 1st and ends the last day of November. This is the only time when it is acceptable to not shave, hence the name No Shave November."

"When ladies decide not to shave for the entire month of November, sometimes in response to the Men's No Shave November."

And my PERSONAL favorite:

"A college tradition that involves avoiding shaving because it's no shave November, or usually because you're just too lazy. Fortunately, every month can be made into a no shave month."

Other months:

Don't shave December
Just don't shave January
Forget shaving February
Mustn't shave March
Avoid shaving April

etc...

Gross, right? yup! it is.

Truth be told, I honestly wasn't planning on participating in this tradition...until Spencer brought it up :) I'd never gone a whole month without shaving, and I decided I really wanted to try it. I don't really remember how the conversation went..Ok, maybe I said that we should both attempt it..:) and in the end it was decided if he did it, then I would do it. Sounds like a good plan, right?

Let me outline the month for you.

First two days: This is kind of nice not having to shave! (not a big deal at all)

3rd, 4th, and 5th days: Eww..this is kind of gross.

6th day: Umm...my legs are starting to itch. really bad.

7th and 8th days: MY LEGS FRIPPIN ITCH! "can I shave, please?"

-The Next 15 Days- SOMEBODY STOP THIS RELENTLESS ITCHING!! *may or may not be going slightly crazy*

24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th days: Avoids looking at bare legs for fear of seeing my manly nastiness.

30th day: "ITS THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH!!" ...oh wait. that means I actually have to take time to shave. :/

...yup. that about sums it up. My poor legs have been through a lot this month.

Since the other thing November is kind of famous for is Thanksgiving let me tell you a couple of the things I was thankful for this November.

1. Tights

2. Long Dresses

3. Long Socks

4. Skinny jeans that are tight enough that its almost impossible to roll them up.

5. Lotion

Now that its the end of the month Am I glad I did it? Heck yes! I proved a point. :) Will I ever do it again? Probably not. at least, not intentionally..;)

Will I be shaving at midnight tonight?

MOST DEFINITELY.
