Today in frivolous things I complain about.

My eyebrows.

Woof.

I am on day 10 of my 14 day required “don’t touch them or your eyebrow wax will be the effective equivalent of flushing $25 down the toilet” pre-wax phase.

I have really dark, really coarse eyebrows that grow like weeds.  If I don’t let them run wild for a couple weeks pre-wax, they are unruly two days later.   Of course, during these two weeks, I look cro-magnon. 

It’s a necessary evil,  but man, I cannot wait to get this shiz weed-whacked.

  4. neffsays said: Girl, I feel you on the German genes. Also, why are our eyebrow hairs 2x longer than everyone else’s? It’s like they didn’t get the memo that they aren’t on the part of my head that is supposed to grow ad nauseam.
