being in africa isn't an excuse for being yucky...

january 16, 2009

i'm kicking myself for not bringing a wax pot to ghana. why oh why did i think that tweezers and razors were going to carry me through the next 2 years?! had i known what i do now, i would have drastically re-vamped my packing list. more sundresses and exfoliating scrub, for sure. i've heard talk of people wanting the "real peace corps/africa experience," but i'll pass. i'm sacrificing enough already by being here...why sacrifice good skin and pretty pictures, too? i think some people just want an excuse to be slobs and not wear deodorant (gross). julie is in africa...that pretty much sounds like a real africa experience to me.
