Mr. Miyagi Says Wax Off

It's about to get really personal up in here,
as in, y'all might think I'm cray cray for letting you in on this little secret of mine.

{kidding} #capthat

My name is Sarah and I wax.

I'm in my mid-twenties and I've asked many of my girlfriends if 

they wax. I was shocked to hear that I was in the minority. 

I started waxing a little over two years ago and I absolutely love it.

They say 'once you wax you don't go back.'

actually, no one says that but I do and it's true!

There are so many perks to getting waxed versus shaving.

Numero uno being no razor burn. 

Hello. We've all been there. 

Rush job turns into bumps which = nasty bikini line. ew

Another reason to wax is because you only have to do it once a month. 

Once you've done it a few times, it takes the hair longer to grow back....

and it comes in soft. {this may be tmi, but it's fact}

About two and a half years ago I randomly googled brazilian waxing here in town

and one of the first places that popped up was the amazingly cute salon that
I still go to today. It's designed with a pin-up theme and it's super girly so it definitely gets an A in my book.
They hosted the lingerie party I was at last weekend.

One of the things I'm gonna miss most about Richmond is this place.

Luckily I became really close friends with the girl whose been waxing me the longest, 

so I'll be flying her down every once in a while ;) 

Anyway, back to the waxing.

Most of my friends say their biggest reason for not going 

is fear of pain. The other is not wanting to just leave it all hanging out there

for someone else to see. 

Here's how I look at it.

If you do your research and go to a good salon, the pain will be 

minimal because they know what they're doing. It all depends on what type of wax

they use and the technique. Now I'm not saying it won't hurt, because it does.

The first time I ever had it done was probably the most painful. After that it gets easier.

Plus there are a few things that most places probably don't tell you before you come in, like....

no caffeine the morning of your appointment

{It heightens your nerve senses and makes it pretty much unbearable}

take advil about an hour before your appointment

{this doesn't take the pain away but it sure does lessen it!}

exfoliate exfoliate exfoliate

and if you're still a little nervous, you can always buy numbing cream....

but I've never had to even come close to needing that stuff.

remember the numb nuts?

If you're one that's concerned about someone looking at your

biz-nass then think of it this way-

you're 1 out of how many vajays they are seeing that day.

it's kind of like the gyno...except not.

My biff Audrey, aka stylist, waxer, and my main bish said she would be happy

to answer any questions you guys might have. Trust me, she knows her ish. 

I'm getting her to make me a list of questions to ask salons when I move, cause she's awesome like that....and let's be real, I'm not entrusting just anyone with my little treasure box ;)

Anyway, leave your questions below or send me an email with anything you want to know

and next time I get with her I'll get y'all some answers. Heck, y'all may even be lucky

enough to get a vlog. 

So, if you've managed to stick around this long I'm sure you think I'm totally crazy

for talking about something so personal on my blog. I obviously don't think it's a big deal, otherwise I wouldn't have put it up for y'all to see. So.....thoughts! And don't forget to leave your questions below :)

xoxo.
