Recently, I visited the local beauty salon for an upper lip & chin wax! (as we grow older, men sprout hair from their ears & women grow moustaches). Afterwards, I needed to pop into the supermarket for some milk, knowing that my glowing face was showing tell tale signs of my salon visit, I pulled my scarf up, bought the milk & returned to the car.
You know how when you've been to the dentist, you check your teeth in the rear view mirror when you get back to the car, well true to form I checked my face, only to discover to my horror that I'd been walking through the town with a blue beard....the hairs from my scarf had stuck to my face.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the end of my hair removal woes. Prompted by the above experience,I bought a home wax kit.
Over the weekend I thought that I'd attempt a bikini wax, after reading the instructions carefully I heated the wax in the microwave, still looking a bit gloopy I gave it another blast....BIG MISTAKE.

Returning home from an evening out with his friends, my husband came home to find me legs a kimbo, squeezing the gel out of an aloe vera plant to dab on my burn. Looking at me incredously he asked what was going on, after I'd explained he looked heaven ward & said 'well that puts a whole new slant on the burning bush' & left the room laughing hysterically.

Having lost all dignity & a layer of skin, there is a plus side...I've learned that my lopsided  '*!*!' is a scalene triangle, that I should leave hair removal to the experts & do the shopping before a salon appointment!
