Face of Wax

I had planned on bringing my box of wax with me but for some reason it slipped out of my suitcase and it did not make it here :( Mom was sending me a package of things and so I asked her to put it in with everything else she was sending me, I had a problem with having a very dark mustache that grows in and it comes fairly often and as Taiwanese people don't seem to have a problem with facial hair it was important that I have my wax.

Finally the wax arrived! But it wasn't bad enough that I needed to do it right away and I didn't have the energy to do it quite yet anyway. Last Sunday I decided that it needed to be done and it needed to be done now! I went to the kitchen to heat up my dear friend wax...and the microwave wouldn't work!! Well I wouldn't be deterred, so I put some water to boil, held the little plastic dish over the steam (hot, hot!) and got the wax to soften a little bit so that using a couple of chopsticks was able to dig the whole piece of the dish. I then put the whole chunk of wax in a glass jar and put it in the boiling water.

My creativity doesn't stop there I am afraid, I decided that I would do my mustache AND eyebrows AND chin, the mustache did pretty good and the eyebrows so-so, I think though that I made the chin worse by doing it---but it's a pretty funny picture :D The best part was that I had to run to the kitchen to grab my camera in order to take the picture and right as I walked out Paul (our neighbor) came walking up, I looked at him, smiled and then went running laughing.

Wax On, Wax Off

So Saturday afternoon I had the urge to make curry, but since I am still working on the making smaller quantities thing I had to invite a lot of people over. Before they left for a concert in Salt Lake my roommies had some dinner and then when they were done with school Leah and Brea came over for some food (Brea stopped and picked up Darrell on her way over). After we were done eating, the four of us were just sitting around talking when Brea decided that she wanted to wax Darrell's unibrow, and for some crazy reason Darrell agreed to let Leah do it. So we had a mini waxing party.

Leah-the waxer

Me- the innocent bystander (this would have been a pretty cute picture if not for the sunlight streaming through the blinds)

Brea and Darrell-the engaged couple. I think that this is a super cute picture, it would have been 100x better if they didn't both have wax between their eyes.

Leah putting the wax on Brea..this picture just looks really awkward to me, I am not sure why.
