Thank Goodness for Pure Bliss and Brooke Shields. Musing on eyebrows.

Thank Goodness for Pure Bliss and Brooke Shields. Musing on eyebrows.

“Looks like I’m having major surgery.”

I've gotten quite good shooting blind with the iPhone.

“With your eyebrows, it is.”

 Julie Speyer, owner Pure Bliss Spa and eyebrow medic.

I’ve always had thick brows. Hated them!

Then Brooke Shields came along in the 80s and it was uber in to have fuzzy caterpillars resting above your eyeballs.

But I still hated to pluck the boogers.

So today, I had to return a blanket.

Wait.

I need to back up a minute.

Last night at the football game it was Senior Night. (Will blog on almost epic momfail later.)

Main story for now is that we won!

And it was chilly.

The Speyers got up to leave and I stared at Julie’s blanket like a poor pup in the window looks at any shadow that drifts across her pen.

She left behind their blankie. God bless her.

This could be my Halloween costume. Dressed like that woman who makes Stone Soup in children's book of same name.

When I saw the label said “goose down,” I didn’t want a dog chewing it up or it getting lost in a closet for months. So today  out running errands I stopped by…

And returned Mr. Goose Down to Jules.

I got to thinking since she wasn’t busy, maybe she could wax my girls.

They were getting most unruly and needed taming.

She said sure…but we had to wait a sec. Tabby was in the waxing room, waxing her guy’s guys.

I heard a faint scream.

Tabby and David emerged with his guys all shipshape.

So then we went back and took the picture at the top of this post…the smiling cadaver one.

It’s so nice I have a friend who went back to esthetician school and opened a spa —  so now she can perform open-brow surgery on the likes of me.

Sure it’s painful. But the sting lasts only a second. Plucking them is a slow painful demise.

Here I am trying out the new salon chair with my manicured brows.

 (Tabby’s cutting hair at Pure Bliss now.)

Me with Jules, my Browess.

I don’t know why it took so long for me to pay for this.

Trust me. If you’ve never had your brows done,

Run. Don’t walk to Pure Bliss or your local brow medic.

Do you have your brows (or anything) waxed? Isn’t it worth it?
