Owe, Mother F'in Ouch F!

So remember how I told you I had a special appointment Tuesday night? Well that appointment was a much needed and overdue Brazilian wax... and let me tell you these are not fun relaxing appointments.

Tips When getting a Brazilian

Tip 1 - don't let it grow too long.  This only means more pain.
Tip 2 - grow it long enough or else the hair won't pick up on the wax and come out
Tip 3 - Pain is beauty... or so they say...
Tip 4 - Short term pain for long term gain (10-30 minutes for smooth as a baby's bottom bliss)

What is the right length? Don't ask me... I googled it for you all though. And here's what I've found. http://hairremoval.about.com/od/bikiniwaxing/a/brazilian-tips.htm 

Cleanliness. Shower and lightly exfoliate your entire bikini area right before your appointment using warm, not hot water. Make sure you're extra clean.

Skip this step: Don't use any lotions in bikini area.

Hair for now. You need some hair growth for the wax to hold onto, but not too long which can make the waxing hurt more than it needs to. Let the technician trim hair down to just the right length at your appointment, or follow the salon's specific instructions for trimming. Ideal length is 1/4 inch.

Pain preventers. Take an aspirin or Tylenol 30- 45 minutes before your appointment if you're worried about pain.

Post Brazilian Waxing Care:

• Watch your fashion choices. Don't wear tight panties for the next few days.
  
• Hands off. Keep hands away from touching freshly waxed skin, as this can encourage irritation or small pimples! EW!
  
• Opt for a shower. Don't take a hot bath for the rest of the day.
  
• Too hot. No tanning beds, saunas or steam rooms for the next two days.
  
• Short-term abstinence. Sexual activity should be avoided for at least 24 - 48 hours.
  
• Exfoliate. Two full days later use a mild exfoliator.

The Pain Station

My 26th birthday is tomorrow, I had to do something to make me feel young... this might've taken me back to my pre-puberty but desperate times call for desperate measures.
