Waxing Woes.

I have decided that I need to put this out there.

The other day I was feeling rather beastly and decided that I was going to attempt to wax my own legs. The commercial looked easy enough.  The model slid that wax on her legs as if she were spreading softened butter on them.  It was even and smooth and in a perfect rectangle.

She then placed the provided piece of material over the wax and rubbed once or twice and then effortlessly pulled the whole nine yards off her leg without wincing or in any way showing any sort of reaction other than a happy smile that her leg was now hair free.

First off I just want to point out that she had no hair on her legs to begin with so I'm not even sure why this princess thinks she has a problem but whatever.

She repeated the whole process and then slapped on her short skirt and jumped on the back of a motorcycle and rolled on down the road of life.  It could happen.

No, no it could not.  What they don't tell you is the reality that was what I was dealing with and I truly wish I had video taped the whole thing because it would have brought joy to the masses.

First off,  in order for this process to be anywhere near successful you have to spend at least a month growing out your leg hair, and being of the dark haired nature I was looking pretty much like Sasquatch by the time the waxing day rolled around.

The first round of this endeavor was pretty much like what you see in the commercial and you are thinking cool, I can do this but what they don't tell you is that the wax will get on your fingers which will attach itself to EVERYTHING YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH!!  By the end of the first leg I had about 4 of the used strips randomly attached to me.  By the end of the second leg it was getting caught in the hair on my head and the whole thing was pretty ugly.

It did work and I do highly suggest waxing but in about an 1/16th of the time you could make an appointment, walk into a professional and achieve the same affect without ever having to spend brain cells trying to figure out what chemical you can find in your house to get this stuff off of you.  There should have been a bottle of remover in the box you say?  Sure, there was, but it only contained 5 drops and my problem was much larger than that.  That's like taking a dollar bill to Disney World thinking you are going to come home with change!!

Have a great day!!!
