How to Actually Care for Your New Piercings
Disclaimer: I am not a certified piercer, however I feel my experience as someone who's been stabbed with the needle enough is valuable... Somewhat. As of writing this, I've had 8 piercings over the past few years. All but 1 are still lodged in various places. I've had the usual useless dangly bits done; both earlobes, 2 oral piercings with different jewelry each time, cartilage, eyebrow, and one through the nipple. I feel like I'm well-versed enough to give my own personal insight.

Body ornamentation and modification is older than humankind. We were not the first to use it. So far, Neanderthals are the first that we know of. They used shell beads and feathers for self-decoration. When this may have started is controversial, but Neanderthals were around for at least 400,000 years. These discoveries carry very strong implications. One must have the consciousness of self. There is no need to enhance oneself unless you are self-conscious. Having an inward view is one of those prerequisites for being human, but Neanderthal had it. Early body enhancement was most likely used to differentiate among people. The more extensive reserved for the head of the group, certain marks to delineate a pair-bonded female, a little something for the healer and so on. Once body decoration began, it never stopped. You would be hard put to find a person today who does not wear make-up, has pierced ears, wears an attractive watch, has facial hair, or some form of decoration.

Meladee JohnsonPublished 6 years ago in BlushAre Nipple Piercings Worth It?
Make sure you do your research before you decide to get nipple piercings. Nipple piercings are becoming more popular, and as many people are getting them done, others are wondering how bad it hurts and if they should get theirs done as well. Before getting my nipples pierced, I searched for hours trying to decide whether it was worth the pain and the money. After reading stories, watching videos, and looking at reviews on the piercing for hours, I decided that I was going to take the chance and go and get mine done. I have my top and bottom belly button pierced, my nipples, my ears, and I used to have my nose before I took it out. Although I have all these piercings, I am going to talk about the piercing that I love the most, my nipples.
My First Brazilian Wax
So several years ago I had finally gotten the nerve up to try and get a Brazilian wax. I had been hearing about getting waxed for a while now from several girlfriends of mine. So after some research and saved a little money off to the side, I was ready. I asked for the name and phone number of the place that one of my girlfriends went. I thought that since she went all the time, and was dating one of my roommates, that she would be a good person to ask. She gave me the phone number and I called to set my appointment.
Krystal HowardPublished 6 years ago in Blush5 Cosmetic Procedures That Can Boost Your Sex Appeal
As a rule of thumb, let me say that the most important thing when it comes to one's persona lies in being comfortable in your own skin. Whether that means staying "all-natural" until the end of your days or indulging in the occasional cosmetic touch-up is ultimately up to you and you alone. But as far as I'm concerned, a body is a malleable thing.

Izzy GallowayPublished 6 years ago in BlushHow To be Naturally Beautiful in a Chemically Skin Damaging World
Monday morning in a 2 bedroom apartment in Leeds and it is slap bang in the middle of one of the coldest winters the United Kingdom has faced in over 80 years. I wake from the the peacefulness of my dreams, where I was probably re-enacting my earlier years in the Mother-land. Where I would run around with no care in the world, as the glow and warmth of the sun would slowly descend just over our shoulders. Out of the warmth of my dreams and in to a cloud of my own breaths condensation, I attempt to adjust to this new environment I found myself in.
