(no subject)

The other night, I cut myself shaving. No biggie, right?

Except I cut my finger. Yeah, I decided that instead of my leg, my finger could use a close shave.

Now, I'm damn near freaked over the idea of shaving my legs, afraid of cutting myself again. I think about it ... and my mind goes back to the finger slashing incident.

Not cool. :-/

Waxing Etiquette, anyone?

After my mishap with the razor (see the prior entry), I'm a bit apprehensive about using a razor on *any* body part ... even my underarms.

Now, I've been getting my brows waxed on a monthly (or so) basis for at least the past year or so. So that's no problem - just go in, present your lovely, smiling face, get the monobrow and beginnings of a mustache ripped off ... and there you go.

But, how does one handle anything else? I'm talking underarms, mainly.

Legs, I'd probably have to let it all grow back for several days (hello, long pants!) and take 300 Advil beforehand.

Bikini area, I'd start conservative, as I'm a major, major wus.


And how long does the waxing last?


I've had people suggest Nair - but it doesn't work on me, unfortunately. :-/ I've tried the DIY waxing kits (usually Sally Hansen or whatever) ... although the Bliss Poetic Waxing set would almost be a better alternative.


Thank you! :-D
