Beauty is in...

the wax holder?

Ok ladies. Let's talk turkey...No one wants to talk about it but as we age we get hairs in places we don't necessarily want it...So I thought I'd try waxing my upper lip. I mean, I'm not Wolfman Jack hairy or anything, but I noticed a shadow that needed to be taken care of...My mom said "Use a cream." I thought "Cream is for pussies. I'm gonna wax, how bad can it be."

Well let me tell you, it's not the most pleasant experience in the world. My lip is still burning and I think I took some  skin off of my actual lip (because I used the bigger strip because I'm new and did see the smaller ones). Fortunately, they give you these handy little towelettes that get the leftover wax off your face (otherwise my kids might have been thrilled because my lips were waxed shut).

So, thinking that my lip wasn't so bad, I thought I'd give my pits a shot. What the hell right? Can't be any worse than shaving...Did you know how sensitive the skin is under your arms?

Neither did I.

Until today.

I bit my lip and gave the strip a tug and RiiiiiiiIIIIIIPPPPPpppp off it came, and like 3 whole hairs...Are you KIDDING me? THREE? So I give it another shot, pulling in another direction....6 hairs...My armpit is on fire and STILL hairy...SO...I will shave for the rest of my God given life...

Beauty doesn't HAVE to hurt.
