Removing Unwanted Body and Facial Hair

I certainly qualify to write about removing body and facial hair.  In fact so much so that one of my daughter-in-laws ( the one I have known the longest) gave me the Gigi Brazilian Creme Wax Microwave Kit for my birthday in December and then the Smooth Away hair removal process as Seen on TV for a Christmas gift.  I love her and she me, but she knows it is a battle for me.  I have shaved my arms daily (as daily as I shave my legs) for probably almost 10 years.  I used to bleach my arm hair or just try to cut it shorter in the shower.  The cutting of it resulted in little cut marks on my arms when I would get too close with the scissors and the bleaching was a real hassle.  I noticed one holiday that a certain niece of mine had very smooth arms.  I commented on it she said she shaved them.  I started the next day.  My grandkids run their arms up and down my arms in awe because they are prickly like my legs.  Oh well, I like it.
Back when it was not really popular yet, I had Brooke Shield eyebrows.  Thankfully I did not ever pluck them down to nothingness as became stylish, because some of my friends did and they now have to have theirs tattooed.  My eyebrows do and always have required a lot of attention.  I am probably lucky they do not grow together in the middle.  Two of my 3 sons have theirs waxed or plucked since they do nearly have unibrows.  It is not their choice to attend to them - it is placating their wives.  Anyway, as I get older and need a magnifying mirror to "pluck" them it has become more of a pain.  I have yet to try the Gigi Creme Wax I received but the daughter-in-laws are going to teach me how to use it.  Sure I will love it!
The Smooth Away really does work!  I have watched the commercial and thought, oh sure.  But one day when I got out of the shower only to put on my Levis and realize I had not shave my upper legs.  The back of my thighs are really hairy and since I hadn't shave the day before either, it was uncomfortable having the jeans on.  I proceeded to take them off and give this new little gift a whirl.  It worked, although I probably have to do the 3 circular motions in each direction a few more time than most people do, and I will be using it.  I took the little one intended for your face and tried it out on some of the stray eyebrows and my mustache area as soon as I could comfortably get my Levis back on.  It is fabulous!
