Always
facing unwanted hair on certain parts of your body? Shaving regularly? Tired of
it? Then you should consider waxing!
 |
| I say YES to waxing! |
Dealing
with those stubborn, excess hair is probably any girl’s daily or 3 x weekly
affair. Hair on your underarms, legs, upper lips, brow area and even ‘down
there’. I had the chance to be invited by Bubble Gum Wax and Butterfly Project
to be part of a waxing session to experience Brazilian waxing by the experts
from Bubble Gum Wax.
I
have to admit that I’m not a ‘virgin’ to Brazilian wax. I’ve gone through
several times way back when I was still in Philippines. But the last one I had
was more than 5 years ago and I never had the chance to have one again since I
lived in Malaysia. I got pregnant a few months when I first arrived here and I
guess I didn’t bother to be smooth down there when I became a mummy.
And
so I was delighted when I received a message from Tammy Lim to attend the
waxing session. I miss Brazilian waxing! That Sunday afternoon, I happily
joined other bloggers inside Bubble Gum Wax’s boutique for the first time.

The
guest lounge beamed with pink decorations and other pink stuff. Pink food, pink
balloons and other sweet-colored things. We were also encouraged to be in pink
and black before coming to the event. The theme was fun, sweet and pretty.
Bubble Gum Wax and Butterfly Project really pulled a great one!

And
this has gotta be the sexiest cookie I’ve seen in my life…
Shop
manager, Jess, Tammy and Illy welcomed everyone to the session. Jess gave a
short introduction about Bubble Gum and some tips on waxing. I wasn’t aware
that there are creams that should be applied to areas after waxing
especially on sensitive skin.
Tammy
introduced another exciting part of the session. Guests are challenged to
create a decorative arrangement using the Bubble Gum Wax products and a
shoebox. Something like this…
While
the others started with their creations, me and 2 other pretty guests braved to
be the first batch of Brazilian waxing customers. The waxing room is very
welcoming with its candy and sexy legs posters. My first thought was, “Alright,
let’s start getting smooth and sexy!”
And
in no time, I was pretty hairless down there. The biggest question in
everybody’s mind, especially those who haven’t done it before, was ‘is it
painful?’ To that, I’ll admit yes, there’s pain to deal with but the benefits
outweigh the short-term pain. If it can help others to better understand and
consider doing this, I’m sharing why I enjoy Brazilian waxing:
- Lasts longer than shaving. I have smoother area for a longer
time unlike with shaving where I need to do it regularly. This is because
waxing pulls hair from the roots so the growth of hair takes slower.
- No cuts. Since waxing does not deal with blades, I don’t get
cuts which can cause discomfort and sometimes skin discoloration.
- With waxing, I have the option not to do it myself and leave
it to experts. There are no shaving centers around, right? Not that I’m being
lazy but sometimes, we hardworking ladies also need to feel the comfort of not
doing everything ourselves.
- It’s just sexy and nobody can deny it. Being smooth and
hairless down there is, without a doubt, as sexy as anyone could be. It feels
very clean, you can see everything, makes you feel light and more confident.
I
enjoyed my waxing more because the waxing expert was also friendly and warm.
Her name was Joyce and she was great. We talked about a lot of things while
she’s doing her waxing expertise and without really noticing it, I was done in
a jiffy.
I
then faced the challenge of creating the Bubble Gum goodie arrangement together
with the other guests.

Voila!
This is my simple arrangement, which included Bubble Gum items such as a mug,
Gelato cream, Aloe Vera cooling mask, hygienic wipe, spray, bubble gum sweets
and more.
I
had time to mingle around, see how the other guests were doing, and I found
this lovely girl, Lulu, with her pretty arrangement. Lulu actually won the grand prize for her very creative arrangement later.

This
is my first time to attend an event with the Butterfly Project group and I was
quite happy to meet new friends and, of course, see a familiar face again.
Although we’re keeping in touch, Tammy and I last saw each other more than a
year ago at a blogger session that I held for a beauty brand that I manage
before. Cheers to Tammy for organizing events and becoming such a role model
and leader in a short time after I first met her!

The
rest of the guests finally experienced Brazilian waxing and I believe everybody
had a fun, enlightening time. Not only did they do something new but also enjoyed
a creative exercise and 3 guests bagged prizes for their creations.
Congratulations to the 3 winners!
I’ve
been a big fan of Brazilian waxing but I haven’t done on other parts. Bubble
Gum Wax also provides waxing services on other body parts such as legs, arms,
back, stomach and more. If you’re not yet sure of going for Brazilian wax,
maybe you can try bikini wax first and take it further from there.
Great
news for men, Bubble Gum Wax has BOYzilian! Isn’t that clever?

The
prices are reasonable and I think these are just right for the type of service
you’ll experience --- like a goddess.
Enough
said, there’s no better way to understand waxing but to experience it! So go
ahead and give it a try. No more hairy secrets, no more shaving several times a
week, just a smoother and sexier you!
