hairy legs

Is it just me or does it seem like in winter there is no need to shave? 

Seriously, though. I always shave my armpits because it just bugs me not to, but I seriously barely ever shave my legs in the winter. I don't see much point in it. 

In the summer I shave my legs everyday, and on the days I feel like a rebel, every other day. I know. I'm a risk taker. 

In the winter though, sometimes once a week.

And I only do it once a week because of gymnastics, and I don't want all the little children to think Sasquatch is coming to attack them. 

Anyways. Hairy legs aren't what this post is supposed to be about. 

I've been thinking about what I want the goals to be for my blog (and I was thinking about it in the shower, while shaving my legs, hence the rant about shaving) and the reasons behind Ivory Giraffes. 

Number one: 

I do it because if I didn't, I probably wouldn't get dressed in the morning. For realz. 

Being homeschooled, it's not really necessary to get dressed. If I wanted to I could stay in my pajama's all day. Sometimes I do. But, I always get my work done faster when I have "real" clothes on. 

Number two: 

I want to be seen as a teenager. 

Being 4 foot ten inches tall, I get thought of as 12 or under. Seriously. And this blog helps me be creative. 

Number three:

I want to be able to share my opinions with the world.

Everyone wants to be heard, amiright? I'm not an exception. 

Number four:

I want to be able to inspire others and make a difference. 

So those are my reasons/goals for Ivory Giraffes.

But seriously! What is the purpose behind shaving in the winter?
