Creative Change #1: Threading

Since I have decided that this year will be full of new things, new experiences and coming out from my shell... I decided to blog about this. What better way than to celebrate one's success!

Creative Change #1
I tried threading my eyebrows. After years of waxing and months of trying to cajole myself to just get out of the house and try banging on some Indian lady's shop and politely ask whether they do threading or not. Last 2 weeks - Aug 21, I hauled my little niece butt and went over to the Indian street. After swallowing many times and almost ditching my hare brained scheme (to go for threading that is), I decided to just face the music.

So in I went into this nice Indian shop - where the stairs are nice to climb and conveniently asked the lady who greeted me whether they do threading here. Of course I knew what was the answer, didn't I know how to read (ignore this). Anyways.. the young lady mentioned the golden word (i.e. Yes!) and I happily found myself inside her shop. Although I did try to let her know albeit nervously and without twitching my eyes and attempting to run away (do note that I had my young 11 year old niece with me... and it will not do justice to my ego if I fled the shop). Anyways as usual I digress, the nice lady proceeded to thread my eyebrows. I must say it was less painful than I expected and so I was not fearful, instead I thought that the soft sawing of my eyebrows was very therapeutic. I then proceeded to let her know that I was reading for further threading on my upper lip. She was amazed and did caution me that it would be painful however the brave heart that I was... I was carefree and giddy and just causally asked her to proceed. Upper lip threading mind you hurts! especially when the lady or the thread moves to the middle of your mouth where the nostril meets the line/bridge to the mouth. It hurts and my eyes nearly watered.

Still... I thought the experience extremely interesting although I did think she was a tad too expensive. The experience was  exhilarating. I just could not believe my eyes and ears, my brows were neatly shaved and my upper lip hair non existent. It has been awhile that my eyebrows have been neatly manicured and trimmed if you will and indeed it was delightful interesting!
