It has been two weeks of happy, and today is a good one! My friend (and lovely bridesmaid), Taylor, won a Tria Laser Hair Removal System
earlier this year when we went to Nordstrom's Escape to Beauty fashion show. They have recently lowered the price, but it was worth $595 at the time.When they called her name, Taylor, her sisters, her niece and I all screamed like she had just been chosen to play on The Price Is Right. Being the wonderful friend that she is, Taylor offered to zap me with her new laser so that I wouldn't be all hairy for my wedding.
Tonight she came over and gave me my first "treatment". I have been lasered all over my body. She started with my mustache (which I am most concerned about. I hate having a mustache, and plucking your upper lip feels like death), and moved on to the tiny little hairs that grow on my neck (thanks for the genes, Mama). After that, she did my legs below the knee and handed me that foul little gun so that I could do my own armpits.
Thank goodness she didn't lead with the armpits. I didn't feel ANYTHING at all anywhere else on my body except for a little heat until I got to the armpits. It felt, well, like lasers were shooting into my armpit.
I have to get treatments every two weeks for the next three month, and then three or four months more at one treatment a month. With five months until the wedding, I should be (nearly) hair free for pictures. And that's good, because I'm pretty sure no bride wants to pluck her mustache and underchin hair the morning of her wedding.
Hope the last two weeks have been as happy for you as they have been for me. :)
