Being a brunet is great… most of the time. We tend to stand out (not as well as a true red head but they’re like four leaf clovers) in the throngs of blonds. There are a few drawbacks as any cocoa coiffed coed will tell you. One is that greys stand out more (duh white on dark makes a statement only a bottle can fix) and another is that we can get a 5 o’clock shadow straight out of the shower. There, I said it. It’s not pretty.

Now, this may be fashionable for men to tote on their face. Under a lady’s arm… let’s say that fashionable isn’t quite the right word for it. Enter our friend wax.
I tried waxing my underarms this weekend after a friend told me she did it and it was the best thing ever (and her sister does it professionally from her home). Oh, how can I pass this up? After a week (yes, a whole week) of gross not shaving I was excited to give this waxing business a try.
Having done my eyebrows many times I was aware what it might feel like and honestly I was a bit worried that I would ball like a baby when it came right down to it. Boy, was I surprised! It really didn’t hurt. Ok, well it hurt much less than brows do by far! I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t completely converted after just one try.
Seriously people this woman is an artist. I did my brows and under my arms for $25. A steal I say. Now, I’m expecting everyone to email me for her name and phone number. Help put this amazing woman through school, folks.
