Feminine again, yay!

 So, yeah, last month's plan to defemme for summer ... that's been ditched. I couldn't take any more of the dysphoria resulting from body hair, semi-naked women everywhere and enlarging breasts. You know the thing. 

So yesterday I went to the hairdressers in the morning to see to the topmost part, and then in the afternoon I got down to a long, careful and relaxing defuzzing session. 

And today I put on my makeup and my nice new summer frock and here I am again feeling feminine and way happier. I hardly need to tell my readers that smooth skin, painted nails, a favourite dress and jewellery, and some high heels are the best thing in the universe for a trans girl. 

The sun has been so hot this past month that I have developed quite a tan and was able to break out the suntan shade of sheer footless tights that I bought years ago in England but, as the sun there is too weak to get me this dark, this is the first time I have worn them and they match my current natural tone well. (See my recent post on the benefits of light tights in summer.)

I would have liked to have got waxed all over in one go but the salons here don't seem to offer an all-over session, just different limbs. I wasn't going to have myself done piecemeal over several days (or for that expense!) so I did it myself with a new razor and - a wonderful discovery - Aleppo soap, which is made of laurel oil and olive oil and gives such a smooth glide and such moisturising power that I've never removed hair better or had my skin look so good. Aleppo soap is easily found in the Mediterranean where it's made (theoretically in Syria), but you may need to go to a more specialist soap shop elsewhere (and it may therefore cost quite a bit). Make sure it has a high oil content and few or no cheapening artificial additives; the extra price for authentic natural ingredients is worth it and it seems to last longer than ordinary soap. 

I know I'll need to keep shaving over the summer but I think a pamper session every couple of days is something to look forward to.

 

Swirl

 

I'm wearing an enhancer bra but for next time I'll see if I can get a bra that works just with my natural chest. Just to answer a previous query, no I don't take hormones, never have and would only do so under the supervision of my doctor (I've seen too many girls damage their health by self-medicating). My chest was clearly the gift of the Sugar & Spice Fairy!

It's so good to be a woman. I think you've got to be trans to appreciate this feeling.
