Today's episode of pain is beauty is brought to you by Laser Hair Removal. I mean seriously, OUCH!! I'm no wimp, but my gosh that hurt!! And let's remember that I've been waxing and tweezing etc for years. I'm kind of used to it. Now I didn't go into my appointment today thinking that it was going to be all tulips and daisies and spring sunshine. I knew that it was going to be uncomfortable, but I think I may have been playing it down too far. Today was just the legs and underarms appointment. It started off ok, but by the time she got close to my ankles I was sure she was satan reincarnated. Apparently the hair around your ankles is thicker so it hurts more. I seriously have bite marks on my thumb and wrist where I was biting to avoid screaming or kicking her. They're going to make spectacular bruises. But I gritted my teeth and didn't say anything. After all, it's all going to be worth it. Then she moved to my underarms, where I believe my exact words were, "Ah-HAhahaow!" To which laser satan giggled and said, "Yeah, you were doing so well I wasn't going to say anything to jinx it. The underarms are always the worst. After this the bikini is going to be a breeze." Really? Yikes. I never would have thought your underarms would be worse than your bikini line ...because, well, it just isn't so with waxing. But with waxing neither is too bad. I guess the good part is Monday's bikini appointment is going to be "a breeze." We'll see.
Oh, and don't worry. I'm OF COURSE still going to finish the course!! After all, beauty is pain, and after just five more rounds I'll not have to shave any more. Ever. Yay!!!!! Totally worth the pain, and the thought even makes the pain more tolerable :) I also should point out that I always thought lasik was going to be my first laser surgical procedure. Turns out groupon changed all that. After all, who can say no to a 90% discount?! Wahoo!!!

I have to admit, I'm not certain I fully grasp what all is involved with the bikini wax. Do you or do you not wear undies? I'm seriously curious, and horribly embarrassed to even ask!
Lol, no need to be embarrassed!!! They give you a little pair of paper underwear and then they just move what they need to move. Pretty much the paper underwear are pointless and you might as well not be wearing them. Especially if you're doing the brazillian (no hair left anywhere -peri-anal area included) The waxing is honestly not that painful at all and totally worth it. No grow-out problems, no razor burn, etc. Love you and miss you :)
