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

Can a beauty therapist tell me how do you do a brazilian wax?

20 Nov

Can a beauty therapist please tell me a step by step guide to performing a brazilian wax on another person, including what positions the person should be in, how to strech the skin to ensure as little pain as possible ( especially around the lips) and any other useful information to ensure the best possible results. Also i would like to know how far up a 3/4 leg wax goes up to. Thanks

I am not waxing professional, but I have had the brazilian wax done to me quite a few times. It’s pretty simple as long as you keep the patient in a comfortable setting/environment. Just be sure to keep that skin warm when waxing, and ensure that you dont burn your patient. Also make sure that you take your time!!!! The patient/customer came there to leave feeling great, not with terrifying pain.

When you are waxing, wax off the hairs in the opposite direction of hair growth. If there hairs are more than a quarter inch in length, I highly recommend you trim those hairs. If not the pain level only inreases. If the hairs are less then one-eighth of an inch in length then the customer should let them grow out a little more. When you do wax the hairs off, gently push or pull the skin in the opposite direction that you are waxing.

I recommend you just watch a video on it or something. If you can practice on someone first, then great. Remind your customers to be well hydrated when getting waxed because you dont want them to have dry skin when you are waxing, and make sure they have not tanned recently either. You dont want that skin to be peeling off afterwords. When you are done waxing just apply so nice lotion or after waxing formula to the skin to help with any possibly reddness, swelling, or whatever.

Attached I will include a link to a video that has an example of a girl (probably in her mid 20′s) getting her brazilian wax. Everything down there is shown, but I do want you to know this video was not meant to be a porn video…more like a live how to guide i guess. If you are offended seeing a girl get her brazilian wax, dont watch. I doubt thats the case though considering this new hobby of yours…

Anyways thanks for reading and if you have any other questions or concerns feel free to contact me whenever you’d like. My email address is: fearless_interigator@yahoo.com and my myspace screen name is: fearless_interigator

thanks for reading and good luck :)

There are many essential oils like coconut oil, almond oil, sesame oil, olive oils and tea tree oil for different parts of the body. If one has a cellulite syndrome, take a steam or hot bath with a few drops of any essential oil as they lean to block pores in the skin. One can use vegetable oil like jojoba oil or olive oil for the body.

How to ask to get your sideburn’s waxed at a beauty salon?

16 Nov

Well, I have these really visible sideburns that I absolutely hate but I can’t get rid of them myself because I get all blotchy and red if I try to wax or epilate them myself, so I want to go the salon to get them professionally done. The thing is, I don’t know how to ask to get them done. Are they called "sideburns" or they have another name (kind like "upper lip" for moustache and the sort)? Do people get this normally done?

You can just say sideburns. There isn’t another name for it and even if there was, they would know what you are talking about. A lot of spa’s offer it in their menu these days anyway.

Has anyone burnt themselves using beauty wax?

13 Nov

I burnt myself using a microwave wax product. When I took it out of the microwave and put the temperature stick in it, it splashed over my hand, resulting in second degree burns and a permenant scar.

Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience with these types of products?
P.S. I did follow the instructions and heat it for the correct time. I emailed the company to complain and they just ignored me.

Yes and was told to use aloe vera to sooth the pain poor you did not recieve burns just sore and red legs

 
 

The Day Spa Experience

12 Nov

In the past, going to a day spa meant you probably received a manicure and a pedicure and maybe received a massage while you were there. Today, most day spas provide far more advanced selections than the day spa your mother and father used to go visit. Technological enhancements have made day spas a one-stop destination for treating numerous body parts, offering a wide range of exciting and satisfying treatments. Whether you have tired skin, acne scars or brittle nails, there is something for everyone at a day spa.

Throughout the world, numerous day spas have made a name for themselves by offering healthy, all-natural procedures that aim to revitalize, rejuvenate and refresh the body, face and skin. As people scramble to take hold of the reins of a youthful appearance, the day spa offers numerous selections to achieve health and beauty goals. It is also a great alternative for those who do not wish to go under the knife and surrender to cosmetic surgery. Below you will find some of the common and not-so-common treatments that a day spa may offer.

Facials

When it comes to relaxing the muscles in a tense face or smoothing rough, tired or sun-damaged skin, a facial is a great way to go. Today, seaweed treatments are popular in day spas. These place a nourishing and hydrating mask to the face. This organic treatment uses ingredients from nature to cleanse and massage the skin. There are also facials that focus on only the revitalizing qualities of a mask. Sometimes ingredients, such as honey, cucumber and almond are included.

More intense facials may include a process that uses numerous layers to achieve results. These kinds of facials may use seaweed treatments, hydrating creams and facial massages, as well as various minerals. The results of a facial range from renewed layers of skin, increased elasticity, a smoother skin texture, reduced pores and even skin tone. Usually, a really good facial takes anywhere from 1 to 1 ½ hours.

Massages

When the body is in need of one-on-one personal relief, day spa massages are great for providing relaxing results. Some day spas will charge by the minute, using a portable massage chair. Then, there are the full-body massages, which relieve the most stress and tension. An employee, who uses a combination of long strokes and muscle kneading, performs these types of massages. This is called a therapeutic massage. You may also opt for an aromatherapy massage, which incorporates many different essential oils that work wonders on the mind and spirit.

Sometimes, you will encounter body part-specific massages at a day spa. For example, scalp and head massages aim to rejuvenate these areas. Not only do tight muscles loosen up, relief from headaches and sinus problems are also experienced. Depending on the day spa, reflexology might be offered, which manipulates the pressure points of the feet to achieve decreased stress and increase relaxation.

Hand and Nail Treatments

You can get your nails done at any salon, but what about the deeper procedures that treat your hands, fingers, cuticles and nails like royalty? Day spas go beyond the usual trim and polish of nails. While artificial nail services are commonplace at the spa, you will benefit from a wide-range of selections that some nail salons do not offer. Many day spas offer acrylic, fiberglass, sculptured, linen or silk options.

Basic nail treatments usually involve the trimming of the nails and cuticles, followed by a relaxing hand massage. To complete the procedure, buffing and/or polish application follows. Want softened hands and feet? Try a warm, paraffin wax treatment, which also relieves tension in the muscles. As for the feet and toes, spa pedicures are some of the best, especially when the day spa features hydrotherapy whirlpool foot spa treatments. Sometimes exfoliating scrubs are given.

Tanning

Want the look of sun kissed skin every day of the week? Year-round tanning may be offered at the day spa of your choice, providing the latest in sunless tanning options. Sometimes an exfoliation of the skin is offered before applying a self-tanner. How deep you wish your tan to be determines the number of sessions you may need.

Body Treatments

The entire body deserves attention when visiting a day spa. Their answer to providing well-rounded visits is to feature numerous treatments for the body. Herbal wraps provide a great way to hydrate the skin, as well as provide detoxification. For those looking for a natural way to lose a few inches, an herbal wrap is a nice, natural choice, showcasing one of the most effective approaches toward reducing cellulite. Sometimes an herbal wrap is accompanied by a massage. To reenergize the body, you may choose a sea salt scrub. Seaweed body masques add much-needed moisture to the skin. The possibilities are endless when it comes to day spa body treatments.

Hair Removal

While body waxing is often associated with a day spa visit, the advancement in hair removal techniques has brought laser treatments to the forefront. Along with electrolysis, this is the closest thing you will come to for achieving a near-permanent hair removal treatment. Laser treatments are also much faster than other methods. Face and bikini areas can be completed in less than ten minutes.

Microdermbrasion

When choosing an exfoliating treatment for the skin, microdermabrasion uses a flow of microcrystals to penetrate the skin and remove dead skin cells. Flaking skin will also be eradicated. A rejuvenation of skin is achieved through the stimulation of skin cells and collagen to provide a more youthful appearance. Instead of plastic surgery, consider this approach as it is non-invasive and does not use any harmful tools to infiltrate the things blemishing your skin.

Customers who wish to achieve a smoother texture with a feeling and look of renewal, microdermabrasion is quite satisfying. This treatment also reduces fine lines and wrinkles, as well as eases some pigmentation concerns. People suffering from acne and chicken pox scars will also benefit from this sort of treatment. This is also a good way to treat stretch marks and is also used to even out skin tone. Additional examples of skin damage can be treated with microdermbrasion as well.
