I have pulled my eyelashes out (hint: never curl your eyelashes after putting on mascara).
I have managed to get my hair so snarled up in the hairbrush or around the curling iron that it would take a team of six volunteers and a surgeon to medically extract me from it.
I have burned myself with a curling iron. Not once but several times. Until I finally figured out that either I put a comb between the curling iron and my forehead, stop using a curling iron until I pass the firefighter's exam, or stop curling my bangs (which I eventually did).
I always seem to get moisturizing cream in my eyes. No matter how carefully I put that stuff on, it just makes a beeline for my eyes. I could put eye cream on my toes and it would still find it's way up to my eye. Never fails. One minute I can see and the next minute my eyes are stinging and I am hollering "My eyes! My eyes!" like some third-rate movie.
I have cut my legs while shaving. Now, nobody really needs to do that if you're careful. But I am cheap and somehow need to squeeze every last ounce of sharpness out of the blade, and I am also always in a hurry to be done with shaving.
Do you see the keywords here? Sharp and in a hurry.....they don't mix. Trust me. You don't want to be in a hurry when shaving your legs unless you have a medical staff and a crash cart on call.
Sometimes we all just need to slow down!
Ok, all men turn away at this point. Hey ladies, I found something PAIN FREE that removes those little facial hairs that like to pop up (around your lip, chin, etc ...). Sally Hansen has a product in a "wand" that is like "Nair for legs" -- you know, put it on then wipe off the hair? No waxing. Yay. No pain (unless you get it in YOUR EYE NAN!). It works great and I don't have to endure wax any longer. Yay.
ReplyDeleteToo funny Nan!
Too funny and so very true!
ReplyDeleteJust wear a funky hair cut like me. U don't need a brush and NOONE knows if it is messed up or suppose to look wild and crazy.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, andrea
That my friend is why I wear hats. LOL Why I don't wear makeup or curl eyelashes...& why I don't shave my legs. No I'm kidding I shave my legs, I love my husband. :) I have cut myself so many times shaving my legs. I do need to slow down. Too funny.
ReplyDeleteThat's me too...who says that you can't use the same razor for months? Oh, ya that's right...my scarred legs say I shouldn't.
ReplyDeleteYa know, I very rarely eer cut myself shaving with an OLD razor. It's when I have a brand new one that I wind up with little nicks and cuts all over me. I'm weird like that!
ReplyDeleteYea, I usually end up with the mascara on my skin instead of in my eye. It annoys me to death!!!
Great post, Nan!
Yep, beauty can be a pain...literally! :D
ReplyDeleteLOL! I know these all 2 well! :D Ouch!! Make also note that when you get a pedicure (which I rarely do) to not have the cuticles cut. Ugh! Let's just say I've been taking medicine for almost 10 days and applying to my toe.
ReplyDeleteI have cut my legs shaving many a time! I tend to always get a small burn when using straightening irons, don't use them much but when i do you had better watch out!

I hate getting new razor blades too. I burn my forehead all the time with my hair straighter. Not fun!
ReplyDeleteWe went camping this past weekend. On the trip home, I was commenting about my unshaven legs. My 8 year old said, "Yea!! Momma's gonna have hairy legs like us!" My boys have so much to learn. I keep my legs free of hair - can't stand it- but I am often in too much of a hurry. That pain just hurts.
ReplyDeleteI love this post! You made me laugh again. It can be pretty painful being a woman sometimes! lol -Cathy
ReplyDeleteOh I can honestly say that I have done all the things listed in your blog list of woman on the run. I too need to just slow down and relax.

I have done everyone of these things too! What is wrong with all of us. Beauty is vain, i guess. One time when I was a teen, i pulled out every eyelash above one of my eyes except the few scraggly ones left in the corners that the eyelash curler did not have a good grip on. needless to say, I looked quite ridiculous for awhile and did not where mascara at all until they grew out quite a bit. Funny now! But to a 15 year old girl it was a tragedy. Taught my daughter's this lesson early so they never have to experience eyes with no eyelashes. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the reminder Nan!
I have a post similar to this coming up one True Story Tuesday. Beauty sometimes equals pain!
ReplyDeleteI always get everything in my eyes! The other day I was at Bible study and I had to walk out because my eye started watering and burning so bad, I really waterproof makeup!
ReplyDeleteI think you and I must be related...this sounds too much like me! I accidentally shaved off part of my eyebrow when I was trying to use one of those little tiny razors for stray hairs. I had to draw it on for a coupla months until it grew back!
ReplyDeleteI did the curling brush on my bangs and had to cut by hair at the scalp. So I looked goofy until they grew back!
ReplyDeletesoooooooo true!!!!
ReplyDeletereally FUNNY☺☺☺☺
