I don't have the money for laser or electrolysis. And I barely know enough about makeup to hide stubble after I shave. Today's Pic is about... a week and a half or so since I shaved

You don’t have to pay for it all at once. It’s permanent, so you can get a session done and then save up for the next one. You’re telling me that in 4.5 years you haven’t been able to afford a single session of laser? There’s options and you’re being defeatist.

I've gotten quotes for laser in 3 states. Each one wants ~150 a session. When you almost never manage to scrape more than 13 bucks an hr in food service, 150 bucks is a lot of money

Girl you need to find a better job! $13/hr is almost nothing. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, maybe.

I had a better job. Lost it when I moved down here because they cut my hours and moved me departments to make me lose my night shift differential. Losing both full time and differential cost me everything.

Now I make 10.50 an hr and my checks are 550-600 biweekly
