Best left to the professionals!!<BR/><BR/>For future reference, use cold water or ice. If you freeze wax, it will shrink, harden and chip off painlessly. This is also how you get candle wax off of candleholders. Stick in freezer.

It just makes women fit into this mold of something others think they should be or look like. What ever happened to natural beauty and promoting that? High heels, lacy panties and bras...these are all for men to look at and fulfill their fantasies. They're not intended for women's enjoyment. They're not even comfortable. <BR/><BR/>Chrissy you're right though/ We're all entitled to our own opinions and I'm standing by mine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-75898968308065301132007-02-23T16:21:00.000-05:002007-02-23T16:21:00.000-05:00Whoa!

I just thought girls naturally shaved their legs. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I can see your point of view on the primping and preening thing. I can also see Anon#2's.

You don't have to become a frump when you become a mom. A lot of my friends look wonderful. <BR/><BR/>Chrissy I was upset to hear that your friend actually thinks that you dress up and put a little make-up on because she thinks you feel you need to do so to feel pretty. I'm going sound like a jerk and I know other commenters are going to slam me big time for this, but she must not feel good about herself if she feels she needs to say stuff like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-62400572422087815672007-02-23T15:51:00.000-05:002007-02-23T15:51:00.000-05:00In college we used to say that "a girl knows she's...In college we used to say that "a girl knows she's going to get lucky when she shaves her legs!" LOL<BR/><BR/>I agree (once again) that just because a woman becomes a wife or a mom, it doesn't mean she should let herself go and not take care of herself. Believe me, I know that it is hard to look pretty when your covered in snot on spit up and baby food. I know that sometimes you just want to stay in jogging pants and a t-shirt all day and not wear make-up. Natural beauty is inside, but sometimes a little pick-me-up just perks your spirits up.

I had a chat with a friend of mine who is a mom and she practically argued with me that I wear make up and look pretty because I feel it boosts my self-esteem. Uhhh...I'd like to think I know myself more than she knows me I don't buy stuff for myself at Victoria's Secret for Hubby. I buy stuff for me. I agree that a person should feel comfortable in her own skin, but taking care of yourself is very important too. I little bit of lip gloss and a nice hair cut (and yes...even waxing! LOL!) can make a girl feel like gold.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09251507898309184477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22578035.post-35049632726392505552007-02-23T11:08:00.000-05:002007-02-23T11:08:00.000-05:00I just came back here to read a few more comments....I just came back here to read a few more comments.

We as women owe it to ourselves to spend a little quality time on our appearance. It doesn't matter if you are a mom or not!

I really thought it was hilarious...mainly because I could relate to some of it.<BR/><BR/>Anon2: I agree that the media and society place a huge importance on appearance and beauty, but I don't necessarily think that removing unwanted hair is a bad thing. Every woman can choose whether she wants to remove unwanted hair or not. It's a personal choice. I just thought the story was funny. <BR/><BR/>Doggy Mama: LOL! It was that bad, eh? <BR/>BTW, I hope you're feeling better :) (not because of the bikini waxing, but because of the wisdom teeth! LOL!)<BR/><BR/>AHMM: Yes, I know you do! I remember you once told me that "just because you're a mom, doesn't mean you have to stop looking good." For the record: you always look good! LOL! Even when you walk the dog! You don't even wear make-up or anything fancy...maybe just a touch of lip gloss and mascara? But you always look "fresh" and you're an inspiration. I have to admit that I am guilty of not always looking made-up. I sometimes wear sweatshirts and yoga pants...and no make-up. I don't really care though :)<BR/><BR/>Miss Moneypenny: Sooooooooo happy to see you pop by!

The number of women who don't wax is probably a lot higher than those who do. I don't wax much because I don't have a lot of time to go to the salon, but I do shave.
