Okay okay okayyyy...
Today -- I am going to be 112% honest with y'all and we're going to get REAL up close and personal...
Depending how long y'all have been around, you may know that on this blog I literally talk about EVERYTHING!! From my dating disasters, to products and clothes I'm splurging on, to food and recipes I'm binge eating, to even talking about waxing the V.
Yup... I said it.
I have talked about waxing the V before BUT MY FREAKIN WORD, yesterday I had my first "sugaring" experience.
If you're new here... I'll rewind a lil bit {but I'm going to keep it short and sweet}...
While I was living in Spain I had the MOST TRAUMATIC experience ever. I basically thought that "European Wax Centers" were named that because Europeans were the ones who even came up with the bright idea of a Brazilian wax... Boy was I freakin wrong. I have never cussed so hard in my life or been in so much {immediate} pain before.
To say the least, I was terrified of trying it out again in America {where the person actually spoke English... even though "no" means "no" in Spanish} BUT I'm so happy I did.
Long story short, I have been waxing for a couple years now.
NOW -- Back to sugaring.
Soooo... A couple of days ago {literally two days ago}, one of my friends invited me to the beach. Obviously it's beach season, so it's time to take care of yourself BUT the lady I typically go to was booked until this weekend... STRESS!! So, I went to Yelp {I am truly a Yelp connoisseur} and searched "best Brazilian waxing near me."
After a ton of research, I found a place called Sugar Lemon Water in the Westlake Village // Agoura Hills area and booked for the first availability before the beach {since I wasn't aware I was going to be hittin' the beach until like 12 hours before}.
Now, when I arrived, I thought I was just getting my usual wax... WRONG!! Apparently I booked to get sugared?!
WHAT TF IS SUGARING?!
The sugar waxing technique is LITERALLY exactly what it sounds like. It is made from sugar, lemon juice, and water and is apparently the "organic" and "really safe" alternative to traditional waxing {aka: hard wax without the strip}. It is literally just paste that the esthetician will apply using her {or I guess his} fingers. The paste doesn't feel like wax at all though... The sugaring stuff is applied at what feels like room temperature; however, it is applied to the given region after baby powder is applied so it's not "too sticky" too which was a lot different than I expected.
I'll be honest with y'all... I personally thought it was more painful than my usual Brazilian BUT I always hear from other people that it's not as painful... Maybe I'm just weird and I'm not used to it though...?
Anyhooooooo -- That's the tea on sugaring.
ALSO, if you live in Westlake Village // Agoura Hills {or around that area}, the place has a special for new clients. If you book online, you pay $59 for your first Brazilian sugaring BUTTTT you get your second free... So basically, each appointment ends up being $30. WHAT A FREAKIN STEAL... Especially for the poor person having to look at Vs all day.
Well, that's it for today folks.
I have officially been burnt to a crisp from sitting in the sun for like four hours {and nope, the beach didn't end up happening} because I had to take advantage of the fact that I'm completely hairless.
TMI?!
Maybe... So I'm sorry BUT I'll be sure to be back for y'all on Friday {and Friday's post will be guy-friendly, I swear}.
xoxo V
