West Status was tailored to discover reputable ways to emit authenticity in the chaos. We share ways to purely be your elite self, your higher status.

On Friday mornings, we just expose; spilling the tea all over the place.

ONE. Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a vastly popular cosmetic procedure designed to reduce unwanted hair by using concentrated light beams (lasers) to target hair follicles.

The laser emits light absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which is then converted into heat, effectively destroying the hair follicle and inhibiting future growth (so they say). This method is effective across various body areas, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line. 

Sounds fucking divine, right? 

Laser hair removal typically requires multiple sessions (6-8 sessions on average) to achieve ideal results, as the treatment is most effective during the hair's growth phase. 

And, while laser hair removal can lead to long-term hair reduction, it is not typically considered permanent hair removal.

The effects of laser hair removal can last for several months to years, depending on the individual's hair type, color, and growth cycle. Most typically need touch-up sessions periodically to maintain the hair removal results.

The cost of laser hair removal can vary widely depending on factors such as the treatment area, the number of sessions required, and the geographical location of the clinic. On average, a single session can range from $150 to $500, with full treatment courses potentially costing between $1,000 and $4,000. Ouch -

Through trial and error, we have discovered a super convenient at-home laser hair removal alternative that offers effective and similar results without the need for numerous sessions or dropping a significant dollar amount. 

This device is suitable for full-body treatments, including bikini and Brazilian areas ladies. While also not a permanent solution, it eliminates the need for time off work for touch-ups.

FIVE. A favorite hair tip for hair growth

We genuinely didn't expect to enjoy it, but after trying and testing the Gua sha scalp comb, we practically fell in love with it.

Crafted from natural jade stone, this comb facilitates deeper and more efficient penetration of ingredients into the scalp, promoting microcirculation and relaxation. 

A huge benefit we've experienced is stimulating lymph drainage down the neck. So addicting.

1 - Antiquing

Antiquing motivates you to venture out and uncover unique items for your home or thoughtful gift to a friend. It's an enjoyable activity to do with friends, and it generally doesn’t require a big budget.

2 - Ceramics &/or Pottery

If you are artistically inclined or like working with your hands, this is a really fun hobby to try. You can create mugs, jewelry dishes, candle holders, and more. Simply search for a pottery or ceramic studio near you to get started.

3 - Horseback riding

Especially if you're an animal lover, Horseback riding can be profoundly therapeutic. These intuitive animals offer a unique way to work out both physically and mentally. Check out a stable that offers lessons or one-time sessions to see how you enjoy it.

4 - Volunteer to be a docent or tour guide at a museum or historical site

There's typically a museum nearby, often one in the neighborhood you might not even know exists. This is a great opportunity to get out of the house once a week, meet people, and educate yourself on common interests. 

5 - Reading

Specifically specializing in a particular niche. An example like historical fiction or garden-themed books allows you to develop expertise in that genre while enjoying your reading passion.

We provide 30 more hobbies for you to delve into.

SEVEN. If you hate the way you look in photos

In today’s digital age, photographs are ubiquitous. You know the saying, "Did it really happen if you didn't take a picture?" However, photo insecurity is a significant concern for many women.

Research indicates that a substantial number of beautiful women are turning to cosmetic procedures, primarily due to dissatisfaction with how they appear in photos. It's quite astonishing, isn't it?

We want to share a perspective that has genuinely helped us when dealing with photography and not being happy with how we see ourselves in pictures.

So, here’s a thought:

Think about all the breathtaking sunsets you’ve witnessed in your life. You’ve probably taken a picture of one and thought, "This photo just doesn’t do the sunset justice.”

You are the sunset.

You are beautiful, and just because a photograph doesn’t fully capture your essence doesn’t mean it’s not a beautiful image.

Drink your tea, and enjoy the weekend.
