cave woman days are numbered

Ok so  I know I am a bit behind the times here, but today I got my eye brows waxed for the first time.  Never used tweezers either. My sister in law showed me threading on my eyebrows last week and we both almost wet ourselves to my reaction to  hair being forcibly removed from my body.


Its been about 2 hours and my eyes are still smarting  over the blessed event, my brows  (the part where once there was hair) are still tingling  like they have been assaulted and scorched. I know I should toughen up  and be a girl about it,  but we actually do this to ourselves every month.. On purpose!!!


I should just be thankful I am in my 40's before this has become an issue. I know women that have been doing this to themselves since their early teens, lip too! my lip is quivering in fear right now just  thinking about that. Just one more  thing to thank menopause for I think. 


In the past 2 years I have had some changes to my body that have not been in the manual. for starters I have always been really proud of my eye brow shape and its hair count. I may of been a little smug in fact when I heard  women talking about welts and hiding their faces with big bulky sunnies. I have a birthmark with small mole on my cheek, never has it concerned me my entire adult life, but this past year I seem to have hair coming out of everywhere! My brows have revolted on me and made me think a cave woman is looking back at me when putting make up on. For the first time since I was a teen I have become self concious about the mark on my face I had all but forgotten was there.

The young lass that  performed her task today was amazed that someone got to my age without needing it done.. To her credit she sweetly informed me I didn't need much taken off at all, just a little reshaping. I laid down closed my eyes and let her go for it, my only request was I don't walk out with brows so thin you may as well  not have any. She promptly slapped on the warm substance between the 2 offending hairy caterpillars and I thought, well this is lovely and relaxing, then OMFreakingG My eyes began to water, and then the lovely warm stuff goes on my eye lids(just above) and I am thinking that's it I am about to get my lids ripped off.


Ok so it wasn't THAT extreme but  if you all remember back to your very first time ever and you get the picture. So then the  plucker things come out and I am thinking if this goes on much longer  I may have to be a guy and say ouch that hurts. In truth I think I was in there less than 3 minutes, but  it felt like the dungeon of doom  and I had been in there for at least 10. worse I was paying for the pain, does that make me  a sadist or  just into BDSM? 


So off I go back out the front I pay her and thank her, (what's with that) I leave thinking already ok so what date do I need to get myself redone and smile to myself thinking that my cave woman days are numbered.


Tomorrow I am off to get my eye lash extensions.  I am really looking forward to the experience. From what I have seen on you tube links it looks like a really relaxing way to spend an hour or so. This was the reason behind getting the  hairy beasts under control again. There was no point  having gorgeous eyes  then being framed by an out of control hedge was there!
