I dont know how I got here.
My tweezers were meant for my eyebrows.

And suddenly, they werent.
The rest of the answer was and the light in the car is better than any other light.
You will learn this one day.
The Right Light For The Job
I dont know how I came to know this fact.
They are my Car Tweezers.
Because the best light for plucking is in a car.
you could buy all the enhanced mirrors on the market, and they will never be as good.
The light is perfect.
There are no long shadows cast by overhead lighting.
The mirror is inches from your face, not a foot or two across a big sink.
Its like the car was made for this exclusively.
So just look away.
Let me do what I need to do.
And you know what?
Its OK if the people around us see.
Because they need to know this truth, too.
The word should be passed.
The Community Of Chin Hair Pluckers
No one asked for this, the chin hairs that is.
(Or the honesty of a four year old for that matter.)
But here we are, and I want to encourage you to share this news far and wide.
So much of aging is shrouded in mystery and even embarrassment.
Actress Jamie Lee Curtis said, The word anti-aging has to be struck.
I want to age with intelligence, and grace, and dignity, and verve, and energy.
I dont want to hide from it.
I can requesthair stylesthat make me feel vibrant and, sure, younger.
I might even try my hand at some new fashions (never wide-leg jeans again).
But theres no reason to hide from the changes that are coming, big and small.
Chin hairs and otherwise.
And its also a little bit awkward and funny.
Tell your friends about the jeans that hold you in at all the right places.
Pass along a link to those sweat-wicking pajamas.
