Traditional Beauty Secrets In Today's World

Hey All, it's Beckie here and this week we're talking about our beautiful eyebrows.  If ever there was a part on our body that can totally change your look it's your eyebrows.  Have you ever masked out your brows?  Or known someone that has lost them?  Your face completely changes.  They play such a significant roll that we take them for granted... well at least I do.  Because I know I neglect my poor little caterpillars sometimes.

Wanna take a trip down memory lane with me?  Take my hand... here we go.  So when I was in High School, I didn't even touch my eyebrows.. no plucking, waxing, threading...NOTHING!  It wasn't until my mid-20's when a dear gentlemen at the Tarte Cosmetics counter called me out on what was going on above my eyes.  I was just shopping for an eyebrow pencil and he not so gently said, "Girl! What is up with your eyebrows?"  Ha Ha!  I replied, "What do you mean?"  It was at that point that I knew I needed some help.  He pulled me aside, sat me in his chair and for the first time in my life, I had wonderfully shaped eyebrows.  What a difference it made on my eyes.

Ok, fast forward to today.  So I've done the plucking and the waxing, but what I really like, not love, but like is threading.  I'm not in love with it, because it is kind of painful, but the results are amazing.  The waxing just didn't work for me.  For those that aren't familiar with the threading process, it's relatively simple. 

The technician basically rolls thread across the hair and pulls it out.  Threading has traditionally been used in Arab countries but is also known in Indian and Persian countries.  Although I've only gone as far as having my eyebrows and upper lip done, you can also have face, arms and legs done.  Results will vary, but I can usually go about every 2 weeks. Cost is pretty reasonable.  Prices can range from $6-13 depending on what you have done.

For those that are looking for a brow shop in So Cal, I highly recommend, Perfect Brows.  Check them out @ www.myperfectbrows.com.  They now have 2 locations, Long Beach, Ca and Orange, Ca.

Have a happy, Y'all!
