PSA - HOT WAX

I don't know who I have told this story to. I think it's pretty funny. Consider it one of my many Public Service Announcements (PSA).

There are two things I am obsessed with: the whiteness of my teeth & that my eyebrows are perfectly groomed. By the way, I don't judge people by their teeth but I do make an assessment. Just kidding!!! Anyway....

I have my own hot waxer. I figured it would be more cost effective to do regular maintenance on my own & leave the shaping to a professional. I pluck the dark hairs that grow in everyday. I do have a lot of blond hairs that also grow but they hurt way too much to pluck them out so I wax them off. Genius, I know.

One day, a few years ago, I was really mad at the ex. I mean fuming, furious mad. I don't remember why. I had my waxer on, ready for me to wax. I planned to touch up BEFORE I was so mad. So I start, I do the left side, everything is ok, lookin' good. I do the right eyebrow, underneath my eyebrows gets waxed twice. I also reuse my muslin. Well, I put the wax on the second time, closer to my eyebrow & pressed the muslin on. I pull my skin tight & rip.......OH SHIT!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! In my anger, I forgot to fold the muslin in half so the wax I previously pulled off was pressed into my actual eyebrow. I know had a hunk of hair missing in the middle of my eyebrow. Sonofabitch!!!!!!!

I finish waxing, all the while I'm trying to figure out what to do. I clean up & the ex gets home. I get in his face, remember I'm already angry at him, & ask him if he notices anything wrong with my face. He says "yeah, part of your eyebrow is missing". That's right asshole, because you mad me angry, so it's all your fault!!!!

I found a brown eyeliner pencil, used that to fill in. I had to carry it around with me for a couple of weeks while waiting for the hair to grow back. I had a tendency to wipe my brow & wipe my partial brow off. I managed to survive, but it wasn't pretty.

So, my PSA for today is: Never wax anything when angry, it turns ugly.

Have a great day!!!!
