As Coco Chanel famously said, “there are no ugly women, just lazy women,” I had a sudden realization that I was lazy.
I started applying more makeup, watching endless videos on how to apply makeup to flatter my face, I invested more into my hair, opting to not wear my natural hair out and allow it to grow.
As an adult wanting to avoid the embarrassing look of traditional braces, I thought, “there’s always invisible aligners”.
After waiting 3 weeks for my aligners, 10 days for my replacements to swap out the first pair that didn’t fit, and two weeks of bleeding gums, what did I do next?
