Welcome readers, old and new!

Please hit the ❤️ above to remind yourself that “Being ruled by the limbic system is how your dog lives: You can do better.”

Sometimes I get a PR email that lifts my spirits.

A recent charmer referred to our “body hair grooming journey,” a trip I wasn’t aware I was taking—though now that I think of it, I have had a few unlikely expeditions along the way to my current age-related, sparsely-fleeced condition.

Anyway, there’s a new pubic hair and skincare line called Fur, aimed at those of us who’ve eschewed the barely-there aesthetic in favor of the fully-furred effect. Adorable almost-first-daughter Ella Emhoff is a fan; if you’re so inclined, watch her enthusiastically applying some Fur oil to her underarm tufts here.

Whatever your choice, I hope you enjoy your journey (for which I doubt you need any products—other than maybe a comb).

Speaking of journeys, a reader has a question about her teeth, which seem to be… wandering. Could it happen to you?

HNTFUYF is a payola-free, reader-supported zone. I get no cut from sales when I mention a product. My recommendations are offered without obligation, making HNTFUYF one of the very few places where you can get unadulterated beauty advice.
