Hair Hair, Go Away

I have always had bushy eyebrows, which apparently runs in the family. When I was 17, I finally started getting them waxed, having been too afraid of the pain to get them done before. I was happily surprised that the pain was not nearly as bad as I had anticipated. Since then, for the price of $8-10, I have gotten my eyebrows waxed about once a month. I leave with my eyebrow area a little red, but it is well worth not having bushy eyebrows.

But lately, I have noticed a trend at the various nail salons I go to get them waxed. I go in and tell them I need my eyebrows waxed. They take me back to the waxing room and in the process of waxing my eyebrows, they will always try to upsell me. The exchange will usually go something like this:

Woman Doing the Waxing: You want your nails done too?
Me: No, just the eyebrows today.
Woman Doing the Waxing: You want your lip waxed?
Me: Nope, I'm still good with just the eyebrows.
Woman Doing the Waxing: You want a bikini wax?
Me: Um...that's okay.

Now, I dread going to get waxed because I then leave feeling worse about myself. I have to keep telling them no, plus, they apparently think I need all these beauty services. But, unfortunetly, my eyebrows have no choice, unless I want to go back to looking like the female version of Bert.

Does anyone still read this?

I know, I know, I haven't posted in awhile (thank you for reminding me many times Jess and Kristin.)

For today, I will just post some pictures of Allie and Sam's visit a couple weeks ago.

Sam had only been to D.C. once, so being tourists was a priority. Even though I grew up outside of D.C., I still love going to the museums, and monuments. The first day they were here, we spent all day at the Spy Museum which was cool but definetly not worth $16. The next day was spent at Ford's Theater, going up the Washington Monument, walking in the waterless reflecting pond, and more museums.

Sam is very mature.

On their last day here, with plans of hitting up more museums, we were annoyingly stuck in house because of snow. Instead of sightseeing, we shoveled, made cheddar beer soup, pumpkin bread, and watched the seemingly endless Oscars.

Well, that's it for today. I will try to be better at posting but I can't guarantee anything.
