It’s Called Bitch Pampering!

28 Nov

My sincere apology goes out to all the intelligent women in this world for my article title as well as for what I’m about to say, but my problem is that I’ve been completely unable to find you. Where are you??? After many years of trying every idea in my extremely creative repertoire, I’ve failed to find even one truly intelligent woman. Now I can’t stand hip hop music (gansta garbage) but my experience with women over the last 10 years has gradually forced me to agree with the writers that bitch is a fairly appropriate term for modern day women. The word pampering comes from the women themselves. It’s what they say they want. It’s their concept of being treated well and the proof is in the countless number of businesses that have flourished by catering to their slavish desires. There must be at least 2 or 3 nail salons on every busy block of every town and city in the United States. 50 years ago, there wasn’t a woman alive who would even consider having her toenails cut by another woman in full view of the public where she can be seen through the store front window.

Here’s a quote from the Oprah Magazine: “Could you use a little pampering this holiday season? Behold a harvest of luxurious beauty treats.” Yecccch! And then “When was your last long soak in the tub? And just how old is that loofah in your shower?” I don’t even want to think about that because I buy a new loofah every week, don’t I? For the past four years in St. Louis, the Women’s Support and Community Services Program has hosted a monthly Day of Pampering that has been extremely successful because women are able to get massages, pedicures, and facials from other women who donate their time and skills to help them feel pampered. It’s a cabal. If I never hear the words “girls night out” again it will be too soon for me! And from the United Kingdom comes this hot press release entitled Women Pamper Themselves: “Sales of bubble bath, face masks, massage oils and other female pampering products have more than trebled, suggesting that women in the UK are more concerned with making themselves feel loved and pampered than relying on the men in their lives. This steep rise in sales of indulgent beauty treats highlights the trend that women are ditching their men for their girlfriends!” Now what are all the sincere and desperate men supposed to do about a thing like that?

There’s a big difference between intelligence and wisdom. I don’t expect to find more than a handful of people in this world who possess true wisdom so I was nauseated to discover an organization called the Women of Wisdom Foundation who have a Sacred Pampering Day for Women, and I quote: “Women enter a healing temple and can sample a diverse selection of products and services from a variety of experts in the art of pampering women.” I can imagine Mother Mary up there somewhere being stunned by this spectacle of desecration in a thing somebody has the nerve to call a temple!

Here’s another press release from Naperville, Illinois, entitled Spa Girl Parties, Inc. – Pampering Women Across the Country 100 Times Over: “Welcome to the fabulously fun and pampered world of Spa Girl Parties where we cater to your need for pampering and your appetite to shop till you drop.” Need I say more? Is anybody gagging with a spoon yet? Next, a hot wire flashes from the Columbia University News Service: “Wilderness adventures now come with up-scale pampering. Your wilderness experience includes soft beds, fancy food and relaxation. This year’s menu includes a cheese and fruit tray, artichokes, chips with Mexican dip and salsa for appetizers; a mixed grill of pork tenderloin and duck, halibut and filet mignon for the main course; and apple pie, cobbler or tiramisu for dessert – all cooked in Dutch ovens.” Quite obviously, camping will never be the same. Modern day women have brought an entirely new meaning to the concept of “roughing it”.

And finally, what about waxing? Good Lord, even a queen bee doesn’t want to be waxed. This mysterious modern phenomenon is purported to be “the best way to get a smooth and shiny look around the bikini line. It removes everything in your nether regions, leaving you completely smooth everywhere under your underwear and you’ll never have to worry about escaping tendrils again.” Oh, I’m SO glad to hear that because those escaping tendrils had completely escaped my notice. And I notice everything when I’m down there! As a person who is inclined to notice things, it does not escape my superior power of observation that this entire article could easily be classified as a rant. However, even though the concept of men’s rights has been whittled down to a short paragraph, it still includes the right to complain.

Do you go to beauty schools to get your hair cut? For other salon services?

27 Nov

I got my nails done at a beauty school once and found the whole experience unpleasant and didn’t get the manicure I was after at all. But a couple of my friends get every thing done (waxing, haircuts, manis, pedis) at beauty school for super cheap. They swear everyone’s supervised and so forth, so you’re not going to end up looking ridiculous. It’s cheap. But I have my doubts.

It depends on the beauty school. Go to the ones that prepare their students to work in the higher end salons (they’ll teach precision cutting, for example – the others don’t). They’ll do a much better job.

What can I use to treat rash and red spots after waxing?

25 Nov

I have waxed my chest at a beauty clinic. What can I use to treat rash and red spots after waxing? Is there any cream, soap, oil etc…?

First exfoliate, so you don’t get bumps and in grown hair, then use something mild and natural- I like hydrocortizone cream because of the itch factor.

 
 

A Simple Car Cleaning Guide

25 Nov

“It looks like new! I can’t believe that car’s seven years old!”
Would you like to hear that from your friends? I’m sure all of
us do, but keeping our car looking like the latest models is
tough, even with today’s longer-lasting finishes.

However, if we adopt simple techniques such as cleaning out cars
regularly and attending minor repairs immediately, the results
can be remarkable.

Some car owners think rainwater is the only enemy to their car,
but bird droppings, highway bugs, atmospheric pollution and road
salt can also ruin the beauty of your car.

Many owners think fighting these ever-diligent adversaries is a
daunting task, so they don’t usually bother, but truthfully,
it’s easier than they think.

Step 1: Washing

First, spray water gently to thoroughly wet the surface of the
vehicle. This light rinse helps to loosen the dirt on the
vehicle. Then divide your car into five sections: the top, the
hood, the trunk, the right side and the left side. Start from
the top, move on to the hood and the trunk, and then concentrate
on the right side and the left side. Washing should always be
done very gentle such that the dirt will not scratch the body of
your car. Re-wet and then rinse each section, finishing in the
same order- top, hood, trunk and sides.

Step 2: Polishing

Polishing should only be done a small section at a time. Add an
even coating of polish onto a towel, and then apply to the
vehicle surface gently in small, even and circular motions.
Start at the top and working your way down to the trunk and
hood, finally ending with the sides. The polish should be
allowed to sit on the paint surfaces for at least five to ten
minutes. After this time, remove the residue with a different
cotton towel by pressing firmly on the surfaces. The same
procedure may be applied to all other four sections.

Step 3: Waxing

Use a soft and clean terry cloth towel to apply wax to a small
section of the car. The application of wax to the car can be
done similar to how polishing has been carried out. The only
difference is you should wait until the wax has dried to a
slight haze. If you’re really striving, repeat the whole process
again, adding a second coat of wax to the vehicle.

And there you have it! You’ve removed the dirt and grime;
polished away the small spots and scratches; and added another
layer of protection to your vehicle’s finish. By now your car
should glitter like it did the first day you got it. Don’t
forget the last step – show off your car

The beauty therapist burnt me whilst waxing… what should I do?

21 Nov

I went to my usual beauty parlour yesterday to get my standard eyebrow wax. I had a therapist who served me and at the beginning had an "attitude problem" – so she ended up serving me for the treatment which take about 10 minutes wax. Firstly she made no effort and i felt like I was bothersome to her cause she actually had to do some work. She didn’t ask me if the temperature of the strip wax was Ok i thought my skin may have been overly sensitive yesterday. So she proceeded to wax, and it was a bit hot, and she seemed to be getting it all over my eye, very messy! She didn’t even make conversation (in the past the girls have been very friendly) and then over waxed my eyebrows very thin! I was horrified and it was too late. On top of that she mumbled and when i asked her to repeat herself again she gave me attitude. When I came out, my eyebrows were RED and later on that night I have scars almost third degree burns.. i had to see a doctor for cream..should I complain to the manager?
Please don’t answer if you have nothing positive to add. This is a burn, not a small burn but around my whole eye area which will eventually scar.

suck it up! be a (wo)man! rub some dirt on it!!!!

Mountain Boy Sledworks Double Kicksled

21 Nov

Mountain Boy Sledworks Double Kicksled
Kicksledding is pure joy, and turns nearly all sledders into mountain boys and girls. Gliding along on hard-packed snow or ice seems effortless (though it’s actually good exercise), and you get to take your sweetheart or young one along too. Kicksledding is also excellent aerobic exercise and a fantastic way to get a workout in the course of your routine daily activities. Snowpacked streets, back roads, and well-used snowmobile trails are perfect places for kicksledding, particularly those with a gentle grade. A long, plowed driveway curling down a hillside works, too. Mountain Boy Kicksleds are an artistic interpretation of a traditional, time-tested Nordic design. Each sled is carefully handcrafted in the heart of the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. Because each kicksled is a one-of-a-kind work, each is signed and numbered on the bottom by the sledmaker. On the front, the Mountain Boy brand is burned into the ash of the backrest, drawing attention to the individual grain of each piece of wood. The sled body, including the very comfortable slatted seat, is made of American white ash. Screws are stainless steel, and connecting bolts are high-grade anodized steel. The runners are highly flexible tempered steel, with polished and waxed edges. Multiple coats of UV-resistant finish mean the sled can be left outside for extended periods without damage. The handle on each sled is a specially chosen native willow branch, hand-carved for a perfect fit and polished to show its natural beauty. No two handles are alike, and each has its own unique look and feel. On the back, an elasticized storage compartment provides space for a sweater or lunch box. The copper footrest is light and strong and sets off the wood tones of the sled. As it ages, the copper gains a fine patina that only develops more character over time. Removable nuts at the front of each runner allow each sled to be easily collapsed and transported on top of a vehicle, or for seasonal storage. The unique Double
