Is it the end, or just the beginning.....?

I was thinking I might just treat myself to a more expensive razor :rotfl: :rotfl:

Waxing........... a TREAT!!!:eek: Only ever had my eyebrows done and not recently. Although now I come to think of it , it didnt hurt and I did get addicted to it! :rotfl:

Safe journey home Hypno

I have my eyebrows done too (or threaded, depending on who is available in the salon) and have done for the last 15 years or so.....definitely worth it!

It *is* a treat in the sense that I am doing something for "ME", purely and simply....and discovering what my new priorities are

As for waxing - ouch! I'd love to pluck up the courage to try it I'm a thoroughly incompetent shaver, nicks and cuts all over the place, entirely useless Does it really hurt?? How far, er, up do you go?? :rotfl: :rotfl: (no need to answer - just thought if you could inspire me to shred, you might well be able to inspre me to this too! )

(I'm working full time as of Monday after several years of working 2 days a week, so my wages will more than double - hence the savings, but I'd also like some treats!)

That's why I started getting my legs waxed Cheery, I was sick of cutting my ankles in ribbons

Does it hurt - not really though that depends on the competency of the person doing it and how sensitive you are. (Though some areas hurt more, I don't mind bikini waxes, but daren't get my underarms done )

As for how far up do they go - they go aaaaaaaaaaall the way baby! :rotfl:
You can go Brazillian or Hollywood - I just stick to a tidy up!

As we're on the thread (geddit) of hair removal, what I'd really like is IPL (think that's what it's called) laser hair removal for my chin :o:o
Don't know about anyone on here, but we all sit at work like Bruce Forsyth feeling our chins! It's so glamourous but one of the perils of having kids and getting older

Pity that is costs £60 a go and you need at least 10 treatments......until then plucking it is!

Oh the joys of hormones!!!

Fab news on the savings target Hypno - how exciting!

If anyone's not on it already http://www.groupon.co.uk/ is really good for deals on massages, beauty treatments etc - I've got a load of treats lined up for the next few months with vouchers from them. Had a £25 spa day in a posh hotel from there a while back!

I'm scared of waxing too but I would like to try threading for my eyebrows, they are rather rampant!

Can't have my legs waxed anymore , so limited and painful shaving it is! I have had my underarms done (ouchies!!) and *cough* the Brazilian (which hurt less than the underarms! :eek::eek::eek:) ,

I am trying to save and clear debts at the same time - trying for £20 saving per month and about 4 or 5 times that much off the debt

I am trying to get together the courage to have my underarms done too.....as yet I have been far too chicken. But I will hopefully overcome my fear before summer arrives!

For those that find waxing painful, just take a couple of paracetamol about half an hour beforehand.....just takes the edge off it apparently.

My DH calls my epilator my "oh bu&&er !!!!" machine as that's all he hears when I'm using it. :rotfl:

I probably shouldn't admit this on a public forum but I really do quite like the pain of it .....I'll get my coat.
