MOMVERSATION MONDAY!!!: Do You or Don't You? Wax, Shave, or Ignore? WARNING TO FAMILY: TMI!!



Oh dear TMI!!

So for those who didn't quite get what this Momversation Monday was about. It's all about the hair "down there" and why do what you do.

So Jessica Gottlieb wrote about this on her blog. And now I get to talk about it while cooling off my poor cheeks from embarrassment. The first thing I thought about was, "Damn! Why can't we talk about this on Thursday?!"

So here's a warning to my parents, in-laws (especially my father-in-law, that's going to be a rather awkward 16 hour drive if you read this!), or any other family who reads my blog. If you want to look me in the eyes again, back up and walk away!

Alright, now that the giggles are gone. Let's get started.

Jessica writes on her blog about Helen the waxing sadist and why she waxes. I've always wanted to get one done but when I hear about another waxing experience, it never makes me want to take off my skivvies and get it done. I only heard about waxing your nether regions from my very outspoken neighbour when I was teen.

I'm a shaver/ Nair gal. I've heard others having bad reactions to the depilatories but I never did and used them for my legs and underarms. I stopped for a time when I was pregnant with my son, at that point I gave up trying to find anything past my pregnant belly. I did it mainly because of bathing suit season. In college I really like buying pretty lingerie and panties and would spend more on thongs than jeans. I felt more confident and flirty and no one knew why!

So for one vanity.

Here's the second. Do you remember having a big event to go and you got your nails done, hair done, new dress and purchased that new make up? Well I make sure everything is in order.
My big events are Cpl. Mayhem's homecomings. I make sure that I look my best every time he sees me. Which is what I love about this life, yes it sucks when he is gone but homecomings are like honeymoons!

So there you have it vanity and reunions are my reasons why.

I'm done trying to type about this topic.

Waxing is the best!

I feel cleaner and fresh when I get this done. I'm in the process of looking into laser removal.

If you choose to get your south of the border waxed, just follow these tips:

1. make sure the person you go to knows what she's doing. Some salons don't offer this and there's always the eager beaver (lol) who wants to attempt what they may have learnt in school.

2. deside how clean you want to go. Landing strip, triangle, heart, or bare. Decide how much you want done. You can also discuss this with the person.

3. 3 ADVILS A HALF HOUR BEFORE YOUR SESSION

4. tell the kind lady to go from your belly down. Contray to popular belief, the more painful areas are between your belly button and the top of where the hair begins. Anything after that is a walk in the park.

CHEERS!
