My Trip to Brazil

So last summer (like many girls I know) decided I’d had enough of the bikini shaving and that I would attempt my first Brazilian Wax. I mean everyone’s doing it right, how bad could it be? I’ll try anything once so I scheduled an appointment at some swanky spa and got over my anxiety of displaying my junk for a complete stranger to rip apart. Now, I consider myself to have a pretty high pain tolerance but honestly, this hurt like a BITCH.

You really have to just breathe through it and mentally go somewhere else while she is tearing every inch of your China off. Luckily, I survived the massacre and it was pretty painful to sit anywhere the rest of the night.
(Tip #1- I would NOT attempt putting underwear on for a solid 24 after this)

So on the positive, I did enjoy not having to shave for a few weeks and no razor burn to worry about- BONUS! On the negative, it was so bruised and slightly bloody following it I looked like I got Gang-Slammed by an ENTIRE football team.
(Tip # 2- I wouldn’t let any guys tour the crime scene for a few days until you ice that bitch)

Now, the point of this lovely story is that I’m going to the beach in 2 weeks and cannot decide whether or not it is worth it to put myself through this again. I mean, putting a bikini on right after winter is difficult enough; I shouldn’t have worry about shaving too. Especially if you miss a patch and end up resembling Steve Carell’s chest in 40 Year Old Virgin. Yeah, not cute.

So, to travel back to Brazil or not? They say if you keep it up the hair will grow back thinner and it will be less painful but I can only assume “they” are full of shit. I thought about maybe getting bombed before going (ya know, to ease the pain) but we all know alcohol thins the blood and things could get well, messy.
Man, the things we have to do for beauty while guys sit around scratching their balls...
