waxed my eyebrows last night.

waxed my eyebrows last night. first time ive ever done it myself, and only the second time ive had anything waxed.

it was quite an ordeal.

i had talked to damon, and he suggested heating the stuff up a bit even though it was the cold gel kind.

that turned out to be a bad idea.

no hairs were being ripped out, yet the accompanying pain was still there. and the tears, too.

i have this thing with plucking my eyebrows.

for some reason, my brows have very sensitive skin underneath the hairs. i usually get only about three hairs plucked on each side before im crying so hard i cannot even see the mirror 2" from my face (bad eyes get worse when taking off glasses, you know). so i give up.

but with the waxing, its all the pain all at once (unless you heat the gel and no hairs come out - then its all the pain a couple different times). and that special waxing pain covers up the horrendous plucking pain.

i was able to completely wax/pluck my eyebrows for the very first time without professional assistance. but i think i got a few too many hairs in the center above my nose.
