Oh, genetics. You are one two-faced monster. While you can bestow us with amazing gifts like long legs, perfect teeth, and spotless skin, you can also curse us with lifelong maladies like high blood pressure, big feet, and the tendency to cry at inappropriate times.
In my case, I was born to two VERY HAIRY PEOPLE. (Sorry, Mom and Dad!) However, I have discovered this is both a blessing and a curse. I constantly recieve compliments on my long eyelashes and enough-for-three-people thick hair, but in return, I am extravagantly hairy everywhere else. And by everywhere, I mean everywhere. Seriously, I am like a female sasquatch.
One time, I had a doctor ask me if I was Italian.
"No, I'm Irish. Why?" I inquired.
"Because Italians are usually pretty hairy," she responded, nonchalantly.
I told you.
But now that I have sufficiently mortified myself, I will move on. Being so *ahem* blessed, I have naturally become a connoisseur of great waxing spots all over the great state of Oregon, and on Tuesday I stopped by my new, most favorite!
Brow Betty is your one-stop-shop for all your waxing needs. All the girls are super sweet, very professional and they really make an effort to create the perfect brows for your face. Women and men are welcome, especially soon-to-be-brides who are looking for the ideal place to prepare for their big day (and honeymoon after)!
Brow Betty's services don't stop at just waxing; in fact, while I was there I got my eyelashes tinted. It's a quick, painless process, much like hair dying, that tints your eyelashes to your desired shade and frees you from applying mascara for 6-8 weeks. Perfect for the newly married and vacationing bride! Going somewhere tropical, to the ocean, or somewhere with a pool? Jump in and out of the water and emerge with flawless dark eyelashes that don't get washed away in the waves.
Here's to you, Brow Betty! Because of you, I highlighted my best features. And hid my hairy ones.
Your Biggest Fan,
Samantha
