“To conquer a fear feels so good, but to conquer it beyond expectation feels even greater” -Me.
This past weekend I conquered a fear; I contoured my own eyebrows.
I’ve been waxing every other body-part on myself and others since 2008, but refused to groom anyone’s brows, including my own. I don’t know where I got this vigorous surge of confidence from, but this past Saturday, I woke up and decided to wax, trim and contour my brows. Good thing I did, now I’ll be saving an additional $12 a month on brow maintenance; a whole $144 a year. #winning
When I would get asked “Do you do eyebrows?” I would shamefully shy away from answering the question. I’d timidly say “No” and when asked why, I could never give a straight answer. Truth is, I know how meticulous women can be about the shape of their eyebrows. As I am a very fussy woman and anal about everything, I only assumed everyone else was as fussy a woman as myself and if I made one wrong pluck, I would quit, never to think of doing it again. I’ve chewed other estheticians out for not “doing as I requested” and I didn’t want to be the recipient of anyone else’s “chew out”.
But then I thought, “What real esthetician doesnt wax eyebrows?” That’s incomplete, it doesn’t make any sense.
So while holding wax in one hand and a brow brush in the other, I went for it, vowing to create a compliment, not a catastrophe. And I did it. Voila… here’s the end result.
