“Maybe some laser hair removal for the teeny fine hairs on my upper lip (yea yea, we all have them). Laser hurts too!”

If those hairs are blonde, the laser might not work

Threading is great! I highly recommend the Indian or Pakhistani places around Western & Devon. They are pros with your brows.

I also have a place I like for Bikini waxes. And maybe it’s just me…but at this place, the waxing is not as painful…but then again everyone’s pain toleranec is different.

your;’e so lucky your dad is a dermatologist and can do that for you!!! going to a dermatologist is so$$$$ otherwise. fi is a doctor but i’m so bummed he doesnt have any good dermatologist friends that i can strike up a conversation with

Don’t do a mystic tan–I’ve found they look really fake. Try a lotion with a gradual tanner, but don’t overuse it either.

Also, you might want to consider a few visits to a tanning salon but only staying for 3-4 minutes each time just to give you a *little* sun, but without too much damage.

As far as bikini waxing goes, give yourself at least a week before the big day in case of irritation, consider using roll-on deodorant over the area afterward (apparently its an old stripper trick that helps decrease irritation and ingrowns), and BE SURE to exfoliate daily (i prefer a natural loofah) so that you don’t get ingrowns. I usually do a shot of tequila beforehand, but I’m sure a couple advil would work too =P (and I only bother with this when I’m going for a full brazilian).

oops meant to say not getting married UNTIL next september

GoSmile also doesn’t taste nasty like Whitestrips (gag!). I think the taste is kind of pleasant - a little bit minty. They also have touch-up GoSmiles that are peach, or pear flavored, but I’m not sure if you can use those as your primary whitener.

Please do not get permanent extensions! I am a colorist in NY and see them all the time. This service ruins the hair it is attached to. It weakens at the bond area and snaps it, therefore making the hair you’re trying to look thicker- fine and damaged!!! A good stylist can find hair pieces or “wefts” to match any haircolor. There are many textures and lengths. What do you think the celebs do? A few of these strategically placed can turn fine locks into a mane!! All they do is attach them to narrow combs or even bobby pin them in. They look beautiful and are very inexpensive! Good luck!
