In 2017, we saw unicorns pop up all over the place. From food to fashion, unicorns pretty much defined the year. There has also been a third wave of feminism that rose up and washed over the world. Discussions about equality among the sexes were louder than ever. It was inspired when Trump won the election and got stronger with the Hollywood sexual misconduct scandals. Women made themselves heard when they started to fight back.

The combination of the two movements has turned into an explosion of bright colors infiltrating our Instagram feeds and Pinterest accounts. From neon rainbow to pretty soft pastels, this trend was truly open to interpretation.

This craze was not new to 2017. Miley Cyrus was one of the first to dye her armpit hair back in her wilder days. It only became more mainstream lately when ordinary people started dying their underarm hairs.
