One of these days I should try the threading...I think I'm too lazy -- usually I wait until I can't take it anymore, and then run into the closest nail place. Possibly not the best strategy.

Beej, I know the place near me (which is no where near you) uses a vegetable base for their lash and brow tints. I don't think you have to be afraid, as long as you stick to a reputable place. The threading thing scares me. Waxing my eyebrows never hurts. I haven't needed the lip wax yet. We'll see if that's how my hormones assault me next, though.

I am jealous of people who don't need lip maintenance.

Me too. And my lip always breaks out into a zit moustache right after. But then? 5 weeks of not being confused for a badly maintained drag queen.

I am afraid of the zits as we speak. I should go hit it with the Clean-n-clear.

now I want Krispy Kremes

I am SO glad that these are not available in Juneau. A friend brought some from Seattle on the plane, and all at once I understood that they truly were different from any other donut.

I do my own eyebrows with a tweezer. Have had only a few fuckups. Thankfully, can leave the rest of my face alone, because that way lies disaster. I can't even wax my legs because of the ingrown hair disaster that happens. It must stay far from my face.

My eyebrows more than make up for it. Mike Dukakis called once, in case he ever needs a donor.

I won't even bring up the great Bikini Wax Debacle of 2003. *shudder*

I'm getting to the point where the lip is iffy some of the time. And my brows are begging for a wax. I'll get them done when I go in next month to get my hair colored, though.

Anti-acne astringent is good for keeping ingrown hairs at bay, FYI.
