A few weeks ago I bought some microwavable tweezeless Wax to try out in the privacy of my home. My eyebrows have been professionally waxed before and I think I'll keep using them for shaping my eyebrows.
This adventure with waxing at home was for my chin! My daughter worked at an upscale Beauty Spa and said she'd help me wax. Our week-end was way too busy for this and since I'm very goal oriented I was so determined to wax before Monday. Daughter said it's best to have a few days growth before waxing...so, I did this and wasn't about to wait til Monday evening to wax.
At midnight I'm painting turqouise wax on my chin. Should have taken a picture. What an aweful sight. Not sure I will EVER do this again by myself. The wax hardened faster than I could pull it off. When this happens, you've gotta apply fresher wax on top of the hardened wax. I ended up with wax under my nails.
It hurt. Better to work in smaller patches. Ouch.
Life is good and I'm delighted to be a woman. But sure wish I wasn't so hairy!

So funny! This is something I don't have to do and now I am glad I don't after reading what you went through. My daughter says it is not fair that I am not hairy and she is. She waxes. Good luck in the future.
Funny!! I always wondered why facial hair grows on older women (like me!) and I heard on PBS it was do to the change in our hormones. I hadn't fully realized my peach fuzzy-ness until one day my 3 year old granddaughter had her hand propped on her chin and she was staring away at me. She then said, "Nannykim, why do you have hair on your face?" I cracked up, laughing....it was then I decided something should be done ;-)
LOL! I'm sorry about your waxing experience! I'm a chicken and just use the Sally Hansen cream every few weeks, well on my chin. I still pluck my brows. :)
Be a sweetie,

MOM!!!!
YOU COULD HAVE WAITED UNTIL 5:30 I WOULD BE HOME AND COULD HAVE HELPED!! YOU NEEDED HELP!!!
YEOUCH! This sounds dreadfully painful!
OK Miss D...
You are REEEEEEEEEEEEALLLY going to hate me when I tell you this.
:)
I hope you will still love me.
Not only do I NOT have to wax my face (only light plucking of my now fading eyebrows maybe once every six weeks), but I have little or no hair on my arms or legs making shaving a once every couple of weeks experience.
My poor daughter, Adrienne, wasn't so blessed. She got her daddy's hair and has to shave her legs every single night.
Sometimes I'll say to her "Let's go get a pedicure!" She'll reply..."Oh Momma! I can't! I didn't shave my legs this morning!"
I'm like...
WHAT?
So foreign to me!

Oh to be so lucky to not have to wax, tweeze, shave or cream that extra hair away!
My Mom is 77 and her hair on her legs doesn't grow anymore...I'm hoping that I will be as fortunate.
That ole facial hair just needs to go bye bye. I think some of it is from hormones and some some genetics and some just because it wants to make things more difficult like there isn't enough challenges in this ole world...grins.
