Two problems.

My Keurig coffee is too weak, even a dark roast. Anyone have any other success with Keurig?

I'm a PCOS hairy beast. I was at Walmart looking for bleach (Sally Brand) ... I couldn't find it and was too embarrassed to ask. What do you do with hair you don't want to shave?

    Have you tried the Starbuck's brand coffee pods?  I feel like those are pretty strong, even the blonde roast.

    2. No bleach recommendations, but I swear by this little trimmer that I got on Amazon.  I don't know if you are in to that sort of thing though :)

  • The only Keurig coffee I can drink is Starbucks. It's the only thing that's closely strong enough. 

    And as for the PCOS hairy beast in you, me too!! Holy hell! lol I wax the shit out of my face. The regular brows but also the chin, sideburns, upper lip - anything that even remotely looks Werewolf-ish. And often. It grows likes nobody's business.

  • Our keurig makes everything so ridiculously strong. Can you use less water and make like two pods in a cup instead of one.

    Yes, every day!  It gives me stronger coffee.  I don't like most Kcups.  They don't taste like anything.

  • 1. Definitely get stronger coffee from the pack it yourself pods.

    2. I use the Sally brand on my face (usually pick it up at Harmon's). Otherwise I shave. I prefer waxing, but it's not in the budget thanks to 3T.

  • 1. I've used the insert you fill with your own coffee in my sister and BIL's Keurig; I preferred it way better than any available K cup.

    2. I wax my upper lip (because I'm a hairy Viking AND Italian). I would never bleach it. I only wax it when I really start noticing darker hairs. It seems to grow in finer, so I don't wax more than every few months. (PS: I have to pluck random chin hairs, too, which bothers me so much more than the upper lip hair.)

  • Don't really do the whole "coffee" thing.

    I want to look in to laser hair removal. My hair is out of control. Jerk testosterone levels! Thanks a lot Dad for giving me PCOS!
  • 1) I really like Timothy's San Lorenzo Course blend for the Keurig.

    2) I started getting my eyebrows threaded a couple years ago and I really like it.  I'm thinking about getting my chin done.  I have a hairy face, I'm just lucky it's blonde.

    I have been thinking about getting a French press bc keurig isn't strong enough for me anymore. I switched jobs and have to be out of the house by 6:30!!! I used to sleep until 7.

    I often wonder if I have pcos. If not, then there is another reason for my out of control hairiness. I honestly just wax everything.

  • @Venti29 - A good wax (I always do it myself) lasts 3 weeks BUT my hair is so fucking dark and stubborn that I have to wax, wait a day, and then do another wax. Then it lasts 3 weeks. It's like laundry. I have to do a pre-wash and then the wash.

    FFC - I like the way waxing my face feels. Is that weird? lol

  • We ditched our Keurig after my parents bought us a new coffeemaker for Christmas (Breville YouBrew). It's expensive, but you can brew an entire pot or a single cup after it grinds your beans. So yummy!

    I bleach my upper lip with the Sally Hanson stuff, so I'm no help!

    One time I was getting my eyebrows waxed and I was so fucking tired, I asked my waxer if it would be weird if I fell asleep while she was ripping hair off my face.

    @venti29 - I wax.  I get it done at European Wax Center, and they have packages.  I REALLY want to get my armpits done, but I'm not brave enough.  I get brazilians done every 5 weeks, but can't get myself to do my armpits.
