i just got my brazilian and a pedicure and i feel so refined lol. i need to treat myself more often and make pampering myself regular because some days i feel really rough around the edges and it shows. i need to stop operating as if i dont deserve it because i do
phlainly said : Hi just wanted to pop by and ask if you have any tips for beginners when it comes to Brazilian wax? I’m going to Crete as a graduation trip in the beginning of June and was wondering if I should get Brazilian or not cause I don’t really have like the biggest pain tolerance heh. Was it really painful the first time?
First congrats on your graduation and a well deserved graduation trip! Second, do it! Not sure where you’re from but if you have a European Wax Center in your area, they give great and high quality service. Honestly I have a pain tolerance of the gods and the way I handle pain is more or less with the attitude of “it’s only pain” so even if it hurts I don’t let it bother me. I won’t lie and say it doesn’t hurt because it does, but not terribly, and the whole process lasts maybe 6-7 mins? And yes, that’s even if you have a ton of hair there haha. Once those six minutes are done you’re free to go!
So in regards to my first time personally, like I said pain hurts but doesn’t actually bother me? Weird as fuck I know. So it’s hard to gauge but when i ask my waxers about it they say people with average tolerance do just fine. It’s really just keeping your anxiety level low. there was no gasping in pain or anything. Usually your waxer will make conversation with you during the process about anything you wanna talk about to keep you comfortable, and after they wax a part they press down on it for a second or two just to lessen the pain response. They’ll ask you if it’s your first time and guide you through it. The first time is more shock factor like holy shit I can’t believe I agreed to this but the pain isn’t as terrible as most people on the internet make it out to be (ie. don’t watch clickbait youtube videos on it lol). Def recommend going on the EWC website to look up their tips bc they have plenty. You can take a painkiller beforehand but i don’t think you’d need it. Really just shower beforehand, take a deep breath, and show up. I love brazilians bc they get everything and i feel like they’re worth the pain and $$ honestly and are so much better than shaving. I don’t see any problem with it being done on a first timer, it was what I got done for my first ever wax too. good luck!
malaikathegrim said : i have absolutely noo water signs and tbh it's a blessing in disguise. if i'm a moody bitch rn then i'd be even moodier (if that's even a word) with waters signs in my chart lmao
I feel you! and moodier’s a word in my book lol. That sign’s missing for a reason and it’s so eye opening when u reflect on your life to see why that might be. i really think it can be to save us sometimes
also like as we travel thru life I think full integration is accepting ourselves and how to navigate our lives and incorporate our missing element healthily bc that’s usually what we need to work on (ex. i have a hard time crying/saying how i’m feeling/etc etc etc and that’s a big thing for me to work on) but being at peace w who you are and naturally what you were given!
i was thinking abt how my chart mainly has no water in it. besides my lilith in cancer and 3rd 5th and 11th house in water signs, my chart is dry as hell. and i’ve always kind of been envious of water signs? but i realized today that if i was say a water moon or had more planets in water sign and was a lot more watery and emotional i’d literally be dead. like given what i’ve been through in life, had i gone through those same things as the same person but more watery i don’t think i’d have survived given those traits? sometimes i feel hard as nails or rough or like i burn thru things n people and i think it’s a protective barrier. it definitely is and the universe gave me those traits as a survival method without a doubt. because i was suicidal for almost a decade and had i been just a little more watery i’d have lost my mind and offd myself when i was like, 12. i would have been that kid. so i definitely am learning to appreciate what being so airy and earthy and fiery as taught me bc i had to create these deserts and vaults that only i could survive in. i’d let myself create earthquakes and wildfires and walk on the aftermath but had i created floods, i would have drowned. idk if this makes sense. i feel closed off and unrefined but had i been a more polished, soft, emotional person i can’t imagine me having made it past like, 15. I’m learning to appreciate how the qualities i have given have helped me get to this point and how going into a safer and better time in my life, i can start using the qualities i have been lacking
@wefallforever we’re really one of a kind lmao
