Fitness blogger who hasn’t shaved any of her body hair for more than a year shows off her natural look – Mirror.co.uk

A fitness blogger has shared photographs of her hairy legs and armpits in the hope it will inspire others to embrace their natural beauty.

Morgan Mikenas has more than 7,000 followers on Instagram, where she posts about her incredible fitness regime and transformation after she took up bodybuilding.

The fitness fan recalled an incident at school, when she was aged 11 or 12, where other girls laughed at her hairy legs while she was wearing gym shorts.

Morgan said she was so upset, she ran straight home to her mum and cried - asking if she could teach her how to shave.

But last year, she decided she wanted to embrace the natural look and ditched razors for good. She hasn't shaved her armpits or legs since the beginning of 2016.

In a video posted to her YouTube channel entitled 'Why I Don't Shave', she flashes her armpit and says she wants to explain to her followers why she doesn't remove body hair.

"I guess my number one reason why I stopped was that it just took so much time. It took so much of my time to get in the shower and have to shave everything and then wash my hair and then wash my body it's just like another thing.

"I just, one day, was like 'why am I doing this anymore? This just takes so much time.'

"After I let it do its thing and grow out I just realised 'oh hey this is kind of nice'. It started getting super soft.

"When you shave your body hair it's prickly and itchy and uncomfortable. So I guess that's another reason why.

"I'm not trying to make all of humanity just stop shaving armpits and leg hair anymore. I just want to inspire others and what works for you, what makes you feel the most comfortable."

Morgan worked in childcare and used to take children swimming every Friday.

She was shocked by the reaction of kids when they saw her in a swimsuit, who said: "Oh my god, you look like a man!"

Morgan said: "What does that say if that's how these kids are being taught? I've even seen kids in third grade that shave their legs."

Most of all Morgan, wants everyone to embrace their natural beauty on the inside and outside.

In one Instagram post, she said: "What is beauty anyway? To me... it's to be beautiful before someone else told you what beautiful is supposed to be.. Just as you are, you are beautiful.

"Being different is normal. Being different is a good thing! It is what makes you who you are. Being different is freedom. You are one of a kind, and that is your power. Find what makes you stand out."

"What makes you different? Embrace that and just be happy."
