If you are squeemish about posts that have TMI, well let me tell you to stop reading RIGHT NOW!. #18 was to wax my legs (which I have never had done to me before --although I tried doing it once myself--I know OUCH), so I decided to do it prior to my trip to Ethiopia so that I would not have to worry about it while traveling in Africa.
For those of you who don't know about the process of waxing, the worst thing......growing the hair out! For one month I had to NOT shave my legs. THAT is torture!!!.....The most embarrassing thing was that I had to go to Florida for a funeral one week before I was ready to do this. I wore black stockings to hide the hairs sticking out from under my skirt but when we got back to my aunts house I let those babies come busting out from under my capri's (it was HOT)... I had more hair than my Dad!.....oh my family LAUGHED!!! (I'm so glad I could provide some comic relief....we needed it anyway!)
I should have gone to a spa where someone does it all the time as it would have been faster but I had a girl at work who does it as her side job come to my house. Poor thing.......she said she had never seen such hairy knees! I made her WORK for her money.
I'll admit......it's torture....and the benefits, well they did not last terribly long for me......but since we did not always have running water in Ethiopia, it was WELL worth it, at least upon my return to the US, I was not a hairy monster!
Would I do it again? Only if I was going to Africa or someplace like that, but this time I would go to a specialist who ONLY does legs and would zip, zip, rip, rip and be done with it in no time flat.....get the torture over fast!
So people ask, what you gonna wax next??? hmmmmmm, Ill have to think about that??? eeeks!
