"If you give a mouse a cookie...."

OBSERVATION: I finally had a few to give my eyebrows a wax.... afterwards, I think to myself... I used to pay to get "Brazilians"... (AKA the "stripper wax")... it's ridiculously expensive and I just couldn’t maintain the schedule/cost, so I switched back to old fashion razor.... Having spent the last year in cosmetology school, I now know the information necessary to perform waxing (*disclaimer* still lack a license, not needed to perform self service), I began to wonder:....

QUESTION- why couldn't I perform a Brazillian on myself?

HYPOTHESIS: Given that I have knowledge of HOW to wax, I BELIEVE, that I am going to be able to wax my…uh… self ....
Here are some things I discovered while attempting, the "at home Brazilian wax"

EXPERIMENTATION:....1- Use of only one arm makes this a nearly impossible mission....
2- Eyebrow sticks are too small, this is going to take forever
3 - The muslin I have, again, is sized for eyebrows... need bigger strips....
4- While I enjoy yoga immensely, I don't know that I have ever achieved the flexibility required to carry out this task....
5- Surprise Observation: there was hardly any pain/discomfort involved... a few reasons as to why come to mind:....
a) Mb I have a better system for ripping out hair from the comfort of their tiny little bulbs
b) I am less of a puss now
c) My old esthetician is really a sadist...........

CONCLUSION: Get bigger muslin and sticks. Stretch. Wait 30 min after eating. Read the Kama Sutra (only for research) to see what forms the human body can actually bend itself to, make flash cards, hang up for inspiration. Clear schedule in order to make necessary, on the fly adjustments to above plan. Get proper equipment- try again!
