REPOST: Warning TMI!!!

Okay, you've been warned. This post is going to contain TMI.

I got my underarms waxed. Yes! They look wonderful. Why did I do it? Well, I get razor bumps which lead to other issues like pain, hyperpigmentation (abnormal darkening of skin due to some type of irritation...my definition), and inability to shave on schedule sometimes...not cute. I immediately noticed a difference. My skin was literally baby smooth. It also evened out the skin tone a bit. I got this done last Saturday and I am still smooth.

Now, for what you all really want to know. "Did it hurt?" Yes, but the first rip (for lack of a nicer gentler word) was the worst. From that point none of the others were that bad. Mr. Broom liked it (I know TMI again...sorry.) Anyway, I will definitely be having it done again. I would love to get my legs done too, we'll see. I have to see how long this lasts first.

REPOST: OCM

Just wanted to share something that I found to be interesting. OCM stands for oil cleansing method. It is a method of cleaning your face with oil. The blend that I made was jojoba (50%), grapeseed (25%), castor (25%), and tea tree (20 drops). First I rubbed/massaged my face with the oil mixture. I wet a wash clothe with water as hot as I could stand it and put it on my face. Once it cooled a bit I wiped my face with it. I rewet it and wiped it again. After that I applied a couple of drops of jojoba oil.

This morning a bump that was on my face last night had gone down dramatically. Who'da thunk it? Anyway, just thought I would give you the tip. You can find vids on youtube if you just search OCM.
