T.T.
I've always had lots of hair. On my arms, face, chin, etc. I was plucking every day, it was awful!! The best thing I've ever done for myself is laser hair removal. I first had it done on my face. I've never felt so feminine!!! Since then I've also had my underarms and bikini area done (still working on those). My next area is my legs, but I'm waiting for the winter to do that. You do have to go in for touch up with laser, about once a year after your initial visits, but it's a lot less expensive than your initial treatments. The only thing that might not make you a good candidate is your freckles, but you might want to look into it.
The only place I'm really not going to do is my arms. I've found that waxing every 3 months does the trick, and the hair has actually thinned out since I've been doing it on a regular basis.
Don't worry, you are not the only "hairy beast" out there!! Good luck!!
