the hairless you..

At the lunch table today, I was reminded how my sister told me that if you eat liver quite a lot during pregnancy, you are likely to have a baby with little or no hair. Well this is not medically proven so we can safely say that if your baby turns out not to have any hair, it certainly wasn’t the liver you ate.

Since the talk had turned to hair, Pete wondered why these days at the barber’s shop you get more than just a haircut. You have the added bonus of a facial and maybe a massage. Well i told him that facials work to prevent ingrown hairs and the massages to relax you. He wasn’t buying it.

Bruce decided to try out getting these added bonuses and had agreed that it was quite relaxing. I added that now he will want nothing less. Anything to relax , right?

Pete and I have one thing in common, we are both hairy. You know that type where need to shave every three days or less and stubble and five o’clock shadows describe you. With the exception of beards, i have my hair woes. So i had some DIY wax strips, i got ready to give myself the much needed epilation. I obviously have to give myself some pep talk as the process is quite painful. I rub the strip between my palms to warm the wax, peel and then stick one of the strips onto my left armpit. That is the easy part. After the few times of trying to get rid of that last hair and the stinging pain of bruising, you start to wonder if smooth hairless skin is worth the bother or i am just sucker for the pain that comes with it. As i told this story, Pete ,Bruce and Mary all looked at me strangely. Must have been how i described it. All in the moment!
