I am absurdly excited about going to the grocery store this afternoon. I haven't gone for a couple of weeks because I've been swamped at work, just sent my DH with a list. I like to browse the food possibilities.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm hoping that by the time I actually hit the beach (Sunday, b/c we'll be getting there probably pretty late on Saturday), my legs won't be all blotchy red and rashy looking. Or incredibly sensitive. Because right now they SO are.
Tep, there is a special kind of oil (sesame maybe) that you can put on it to soothe and keep the redness down (I think I actually use grape seed).

Tep! You should know better than to wax right before going to the beach.

Teppy, witchhazel can help after a waxing.

Never actually had it done before, though I certainly wouldn't have had it done, like, the day before; I know that much.
Also, the woman who did it knows that I'm going to the beach this weekend, and she knows I have sensitive skin, and she felt that between yesterday and Sunday would be plenty of time for the reaction to calm down.

We went over this last week!!! She has a couple of days, I think. And the red should fade pretty quickly.
My waxing conundrum of the mo' is that I won't be able to see my regular aesthetician here in the right time frame between now and when my gentleman friend will be visiting over July 4 weekend. The latest I can see her is next Thursday and that's too much time. So I'm wondering if I should go to my friend who does my nails here. She's waxed my brows before and did a great job but I'm wondering if it would be weird for her to do my bikini.

I was afraid you were leaving tomorrow. I retract that critique.

We are, but it's a 12-hour drive, so we won't be arriving until (I hope) 7 or 8 p.m., which isn't really prime beach time anyway.
So technically, we are leaving tomorrow, but I don't anticipate hitting the beach until Sunday.
