Ouch!! The Pain of beauty!

It is all about eyebrows now – or so I am told.  It is just about 35 years too late for me.

As a teenager I had lovely soft blond hair and nice strong brows.  I cried the first time my friend tried to pluck them.  The fashion was for these beautiful thin plucked brows.  I found it so painful that I really just hid them under my fringe for the most part.  In my twenties I discovered waxing.  No less painful, but far less drawn out.  One or two swipes and beautiful brows are revealed.

Ironically now, I could really do with those brows of my youth.  With the passing of the years, my eybrows have thinned out a little, but of course the straggly ones that were there at 15 are still there now.

I decided to try threading.  Seemed so simple from the Youtube video.  No hot wax, no nasty tweezers.  How much can a length of cotton hurt?  Quite a bit – but the result was well worth it.  Thanks to Lyndsay at the Hair & Beauty Rooms in Westport.  A beautiful job, despite the pain (which thankfully fades fast).  Might even thing of brushing the eternal fringe to the side!

Thanks for visiting and feel free to share your beauty pain story.

There was a huge part of me fighting against turning anything like fifty. It happens though and there is nothing we can do to fight it. Well we can’t fight the chronology of years and minutes ticking by but we can stay fabulous. I try to be fabulous, despite having a few things I am fighting against like RA, Diabetes and Pernicious Anaemia. This blog is simply about me embracing life. Food, make-up, fashion and more. My trials and tribulations. I hope you enjoy!
