Have you ever noticed that these beauty treatments that we go through, to help us look more beautiful can often be hurtful physically and to our self-esteem?
Three of us from work went together today to get our eyebrows threaded on lunch. One was asking if she should get her lip threaded as well. I mean, really? Lips need to lose hair now too, I guess. Plus, her lip hair is highly non-noticeable, so it seemed like an exercise in torture to do this.
We get there, and I warned that I would cry. My eyes/skin are very sensitive, and the tears had started almost immediately. Please try to understand for all those that do this regularly, the area that used to have hair is usually bleeding, they have to rub the gel on, my eyes are watering and I truly feel that this is a special torture. BUT - the bonus is that I really only need to get this done once every three months. So, four times a year, I endure.
Today was different though. After the torture monger finished my brows, she offered to do my lip. Not my co-workers lip, but MINE! WHAT?!?!?!?
Are those hairs really that noticeable?!?!?! Crap on toast. Now, I must go home and pluck so that my new found upper lip warmer doesn't get too comfortable for the summer.
Seriously - what's a girl to do? I had no idea that I had a mustache, just a few stray hairs. And by a few, I mean less than four. AND, these are blond hairs, hard to see.
That crazy woman saw them though. Oh God. I'm not even 34 yet. I don't have many gray hairs, but the offer is there to thread my lip. Can you imagine what that would look like? My lip would be bleeding, red, raw and it would be highly noticeable to all that come around me that my mustache was just treated. So, instead of graying early, I get to look forward to facial hair.
If I'm getting facial hair, shouldn't I be rewarded with menopause too? Sometimes, being a girl sucks the big hairy mustache.
Honestly, I don't even know what to say.
