the quest for a maintained lawn

I've been told time and again that the eyes are the windows of the soul, then maybe it also holds true that the eyebrows must have been the curtains.

I have low-tolerance for pain, I shriek and I cry at the littlest expense of it. But well, since beauty sometimes always sometimes needed sacrifice, pain must be history. At least, for now. I don't tweeze my own brows, unless I really really have to. Therefore, I end up with "perfectly" un-groomed ones all the time. The salon proved to be a challenge though since I barely have time to visit. This gives me roughly two options: take one whole day and seek professional help or forever look like Squidward or Plankton. But well again, if you gotta go, you gotta go.

PLANKTON. Okay, so maybe a one-liner eyebrow was fit for his one-eyed self, but I'm sure close to having the same despite my normal eyes. 

This prompted me to do a research on the best eyebrow salons nearby. Browhaus stood to be currently the most trusted and most expensive in the country with branches in New York City and in Singapore. Price tags are hefty, but you get a good shot after its services. I shall be trying it before school starts and see how does it fare with the traditional eyebrow fixings from salons. 

Another thing, mom says I look like a guy with my upper lip hair. Of course I want it to banish so bad so I've been told that waxing was the best bet. Tweezing was out of the question, it'll be much more harder and much more painful to get rid of it STRAND BY STRAND. So waxing it is the next best option, wait, the ONLY option. But I'm a million ways crossing it out when I saw how one of my classmates back in high school try it out and the skin on her upper lip were swollen days after. Meaning, it was a lot redder than it was when we saw it. In turn, it made her look like Santa Claus minus the mustache, minus the red outfit, and yes, minus the season. Of course we never told her that. Haha. Instead we said that it'd be better as days pass by putting ice or whatnot. That, which will make her feel at least, better.

Oh I forgot, there is actually another option for those with fat paychecks: the IPL hair removal, which works permanently and painlessly. That gives you around 5-8 sessions done bi-monthly, costing approximately 3-5 thousand pesos each. And me being a student, that one is a totally x-ed out at the moment. If ever I turn to that option, I would have to wait a few more years to get rid of this upper lip hair - and a few more years to suffer looking like a guy. 

But surprise! Surprise! My constant research on what works best and what doesn't landed me to discovering R.E.M SPRING™ hair removal which is perfect for removing upper lip hairs - cheap and you can do it on your own! Saves you the time and money (because you can practically do it anywhere, anytime; no need for salon appointments), and the pain (as it was aid to be hypoallergenic and a lot less painful than tweezing and waxing). What's more is that it can be used in areas around the mouth, the cheeks, and the chin. Over-all facial hair!
