Pampered myself this morning !

So, this morning got off to a good start. Woke up, Monty was still in my bed .. it seems he is now settling in my bed with me, he would always be waiting outside my parents bedroom door to go in, but they won't allow it anymore, he was always fidgeting in my room, on the bed, off, downstairs, back up, etc. Now he sleeps the full night. I noticed something so cute this morning though ! Melted my heart ...

He was sleeping at the bottom of my bed, on top of the covers. I woke before I let it be known to him I was, so I stayed laying there .. then he pops up his head, walks up to the top of the bed, kept my eyes open a tiny bit so I could see him, and he took his paw and was prodding me in the arm, as if we do it to another person to wake them up ! How does he know how to do that ?! It was so awesome, clever boy ! So I woke up in a good mood ! ..

.. and I went to pamper myself. Did some shopping, finally found a pair of Jeans and Trousers for work .. that FIT ! Woo ! That's a good start ! Doesn't happen often ..

Then I decided to check in the beauty salon, I've grown my eyebrows for long enough now so there is room in there to get them shaped again, and it means the girls in work can stop saying 'Wow Maria, look at those caterpillars growing on your face, Moths will be flying out of them soon' .. so I got them shaped, tinted, and I decided to have my lip waxed also .. never had it done before, never needed it done before, but always see a dark shade on my lip if I'm a bit accidentely too heavy on the foundation when I'm in a rush or late for work ! So, thought I'd have it done ..

Eyebrows look great .. lip ? Well, couldn't tell the difference, but YOOOOOOWWWWWCCCCCCHHHHHH !!!!!! It's all red, I look like I've been kissing someone with horrendous stubble ! Anyone had this done ? Thank goodness I never wore mascara !

Yeah, the stubble rash is a b!tch ennit

We want pics of this beauty

You'll be waiting a while then

....

Sounds like you and Monte had a moment in bed then

I can never find any clothing that fits either, they don't make size 11 why not??

Well done for being a big brave girl and getting the lip done , could never be that brave

Awww, sounds like a great start to the day.....being woken by your fave puppy boy, then out for some "YOU" time.

Yep, I do the lip wax thing too.......and the eyebrows. and that's as far as it goes. Still sometimes makes the eyes water though

It's a nightmare when I go clothes shopping. I just don't understand how sizes can be so different ! I'm an inbetween size too. From Next today I bought Jeans in a 10 and trousers in a Petite .... stupid sizes !

I can do the brows no sweat, but the lip brought tears to my eyes ! I was gonna carry on the shopping and go out and get Monty some treats, but when I looked at my face, I headed home instead

Sounds like a great moment this morning Maria. Also great to take some time for you. I had thick luscious eyebrows when it was fashionable to have a blob with a very thin tail. Needed lots of plucking then but they never grew back! Bit lousey now that fuller shaped eyebrows are back. (never happens with the other waxing areas, always grows back way too fast!)

Pesuaded my eldest son years ago that he was too young to start shaving and suggested we wax the bumfluff off his upper lip................. by his reaction I can tell it hurt a whole heap :-\\

I have never done the lip tried plucking and that hurt, I normally pluck my eyebrows, and then go in once every 6 months for waxing and keep them up that way, recently tried waxing on my own, not bad, but a few issues, with appling it and getting all of it off...(didnt have the strips, just wax.)

There is a new product in most salons now for eyebrows, you might have seen them advertised : 'HD Brows'. Cost around £30. Basically, if you have very thin eyebrows where hair hasn't grown back, well, check the pic below, :



As for the lip, I had it threaded before, I think the waxing hurt more though, but I enjoy the tinglly feeling afterwards !

Was thinking about getting a waxing kit myself, but I know I would fail at it !

I thought that also, but then I was thinking i could pay $15.00 every week, to get them done with plucking inbetween, or i could try myself. It's not as bad as you would think. the kit i got has little stickers you apply for shape, and then you microwave the wax and the stirry stik tells you if its to hot, and you can use it as the applicator or I just use a qtip. I just go along the bottom middle and the outside edges. I know if im not careful i will screw up, but then i guess I have screwed up eyebrows for awhile till they grow back ....

$15 every week ?? If mine grew back that fast, I ould def invest in my own kit ! It's every 6 weeks for me

Oh no it's weekly, and they are bushy, and horrid...I hate em lol

Poor you lol

sounds like a wonderful day Maria - how cute Monty waking you up!

I rarely get waxed, my eyebrows seem to just work naturally (lucky me!) and never had the top lip done but have had the bottom ones done


that brings a few tears to the eyes!

Am I thinking correctyly, or is my mind in the gutter

O U C H ......... could'nt go there

You will notice the lip when you put makeup on. I have mine done and only because I prefer the way make up sits. I don't get a big huge mo or anything, but like you said make up just sits on the fine hairs. And it hurts every time! I don't need to get my eyebrows done, just tidied... I can't pluck myself.

russdogmum: LOL! Love the analogy!

P.S, my beautician puts some make-up afterwards so I don't look like a freak when I leave
