There is a little bit of pain. I don't know why, but I will always remember my mother saying this to me when I was growing up. As I approach the big 50, I realize that this is true.
I had my eyebrows done on Friday. Now I don't spend too much time or money on "self care" but I am all about beautiful eyebrows. I have fairly serious eyebrows and always feel better about myself when I have them done. I typically have them waxed, and went to a new person on Friday who waxed and threaded them. The threading was cool - apparently an old Indian tradition that involves fast moving thread - the results are great. It's a small expenditure of time and money, and does a great deal for the self esteem.
It does, though, involve a little bit of pain, but really worth it in my book. I know this may be a silly little post, but I like the idea of us each doing small things that make us feel good about ourselves and we travel on this journey of growing older.
I will try to remember to do those small things throughout this year that increase the beauty - even if they involve a little pain.
Apparently we both have a brow thing, since I wrote a very similar post a few weeks ago :)

I firmly believe that getting your eyebrows done is an instant makeover! I was thinking today that I needed to schedule an appointment...you have motivated me now!
