Looks Like Pubic Hair Right? – The Importance Of Choosing Colors

March 5, 2015 by Shellie Wilson 6 Comments

I had to share this tutorial and I know you will all come down hard on me but I think there is a valuable lesson to be learned here. Choose your colors carefully with an open mind.

The actual felted soap tutorial is great!!

It’s just that the background color is reminiscent of a hotel shower drain and then they go and whack a big red stain on it. I know it’s too graphic, but I know I am not the only one seeing this right? We are woman we can be honest with one another right? Would you use it ?

You can see what a difference it makes when they swap out the grey (pubic hair color) for a lovingly pink fiber. Such a better result.

    Do I think that particular grey/brown is pleasing? No. But I personally would rather someone contact me personally or at least on my blog than make a post somewhere else on the internet to poke fun at me or my choices.

    Valerie,
    We love your Blog! So please don’t be disappointed sometimes we have to see through the negative to capture the positives.

    Hi Shellie, I didn’t know whether to laugh out loud, cry, to be upset that you used my photos for your post without a head’s up or to gag. What you see isn’t anything I even considered (I actually like the neutral/natural/woodsy colors) but I guess there’s always someone who will find a negative twist. Thanks for the reminder and the feature. 😛

    It’s not mine. I was just saying in general. 😛

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
