I’m trying to imagine (and not laugh out loud – ha!) right now how many at-home hair removal “oops!” like these occurred last weekend during Valentine’s Day. Ladies and gentlemen, I’m not going to lie when I say that at-home hair removal can be quite easy but let’s make sure we’re not pulling strips off in heart’s like this – ugh!
Love Gone Wrong
Here are some main tips to use when waxing at home, if you are desperate and HAVE to!
- Make sure you have all the necessities such as baby powder, tongue depressors, hard wax, strip wax, pre-cut waxing strips
- Make sure skin is exfoliated so that all hairs are totally accessible to the wax
- Be sure the area is completely dry – shake some baby powder on the area to dry up any anxiety sweat that may be there
- Check that the wax is at a honey-like consistency, if it is too thin it is too hot and vice verse if it is too thick
- Next take the tongue depressors and dip into the wax and glide this in the direction of hair growth
- Then take the strip and apply firmly and tear off quickly in the opposite way of the hair growth – the same goes for the hard wax pull off once it hardens on the area in the same direction
- Lastly, this is optional but may help, you can soothe the area with a towel dipped in milk and toss in the freezer. The cold will help soothe and chill the area from inflammation.
GOOD LUCK!

I had not heard about vajazzling before today and so far I’ve read, heard, and now SEEN about it multiple times. Oh the popularity!

This is the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen. To know you are promoting this lame service says volumes about the kind of company you run and people that attend your place of business.

If it is so acceptable to get a permanent tattoo anywhere on your body, why then is it not an awesome idea to apply temporary crystal designs??? I think it is a cute idea…I might try this one out soon! By the way, didn’t Marilyn Monroe dye her special place?
