Stepped out of my comfort zone for An EXTENDED bikini wax

Recently, I was fortunate to receive a gift certificate to an upscale spa & salon. I immediately assumed I would get the usual massage and manicure & pedicure.

As I browsed over the services I noticed the waxing options and figured I might get my eyebrows waxed too. I continued browsing and then I saw “the bikini wax” I was embarrassed just looking at it. What would my mother say about this? What would people think about the BIKINI wax?

I mentioned it to my husband and of course he thought it was a great idea. Go figure, right?

Well, the next day I called to make an appt. The receptionist asked, would you like the basic or the extended…….. Ummmm, the extended I guess. Generally, I would have chosen the cheaper, but it was a gift so I went all out.

At that time I didn’t know that was the politically acceptable term for Brazilian wax!!

So I arrived for the appointment very nervous and somewhat embarrassed as if the walls were talking about me.

I entered the room and the technician instructed me to disrobe from the waist down and lie on the table with a towel covering the lower half.

She returns and explains she goes really fast, and that there is no warning. Apparently the object of surprise is in my best interest.

The hot wax is applied and then the strips for hair removal. She pulls it off quickly as she indicated and I am pretty sure I had an outer body experience. My entire body shook with pain and tears began to form (but I didn’t cry!)

So I opted for complete hair removal, but still had no idea what I had committed to. So once all was removed….well what I thought was all, then the technician instructed me to turn over on all four.

Okay, now I’m thinking, is this for real? Am I being punk’d? Is this some freaky stuff, because I don’t play that!

So after some hesitation and additional explanation I positioned myself in a way for the first time that no one had seen, well almost….. I am married.

She performed the same process as before and I felt so bad. Like one of the girls my mom told me not to hang out with in high school.

When all was done, well, again so I thought. She begins to apply a light ointment to the waxed areas. Now I’m really feeling weird, especially since I have nothing to compare this to.

So now it really is over, she leaves me to get dressed and I peak in the mirror and “whoa!” where have you been? It’s been years since I had this visual. And now I must admit I’m pretty excited and can’t wait for my husband to see this.

Well, I’ll spare you the details of our reunion but let’s just say sometimes it is good to change things up. The extended bikini wax was painful the first time! Notice I said the first time, however it gets easier and the rewards are worth it. Try it for yourself, if you dare.

Consider stepping out of your comfort zone for whatever reason. It may not be a bikini wax, it could be a new hair cut or nail polish. Instead of wondering about it, just do it. I won’t tell, but you can. Leave a comment telling me how you stepped out of your comfort zone to change things up.
