I am not an Esthetician

Hi, my name is Tawni and I am not an Esthetician. Something I apparently did not believe until this weekend. Looking in the mirror this morning I realize how much I miss my left eyebrow. Well, not the whole thing - I still have a little over 1/2 of it left on my face...My right eyebrow on the other hand, looks rather lovely - as does my upper lip - soft and smooth. Let me back up. Saturday morning I was desperate for a wax. My eyebrows needed shaping and my upper lip was getting a little fuzzy (peach-fuzzy - for those of you with weak stomachs...I don't want to give you the idea that I am some sort of grizzly beast) . I decided instead of calling my girlfriend Amy (who is in fact an Esthetician - a very talented one at that) - I decided to wax myself. Life Lesson Learned. I got through my upper lip and right eyebrow very well. Then to the left. I put the wax on, rubbed the strip down, and RRRIIIIPPPEEDDD it off. I didn't look immediately in the mirror - I looked down at the strip...I have to look to see what came off my face. My first thought was..."Am I that hairy??" Well, no I am not...my heart sunk...I looked in the mirror and realized that the last 1/3 of my eyebrow was stuck to the waxing strip in my hand. Lovely. Instead of crying, J and I got a good laugh out of it. I pulled out my brow pencil and began coloring in a brow. I would post a picture here on my blog, but I am too embarrassed. Just enjoy the visuals your mind creates.

Yikes...but it will grow back, in the meantime I guess a little eye brow liner? Sounds like me when I decided to color my own hair, scary!!! There are reasons that people get trained and paid good money to help us with beauty needs;)
