So, last night I went to go plug in the wax warmer so that I could wax Brandon's unibrow...however, the box was sealed shut...dun dun dun...after struggling for a minute we finally got it open and realized that the wax spilled all over the entire box (result of moving and not sealing the wax container lol), the warmer, the lotions, etc. It was piled on the bottom of the box and caked up on the warmer like you would not believe!!! I didn't think to take pics of it at first because I just thought I would throw it away, but my husband corrected me and said that we were going to clean it no matter what, we are not buying another waxing kit anytime soon. Therfore I had to clean it. I tried to clean up some of it last night but I finally realized it was going to be a big process and that I'd wait for the morning. So I waited for the morning!!! After Brandon left for work this morning, I decided I would try to accomplish this task. Knowing that this would be a long process, I decided to put a movie in to watch to keep me somewhat entertained... then I got out the fingernail polish remover, cottonballs, and wax paper then away I went. The movie was over and I had already gone through a half bag of cottonballs and a whole bottle of polish remover.
Decided to take a break ( AFTER 3 HOURS of trying to accomplish this task)...went to the store, grabbed more fingernail polish remover(just in case), bottle of pure acetone (figured it would probably work a lot better being 100% acetone), more cottonballs and LOTION! After having acetone on your hands all day, you are bound to need lots of lotion!
Back to our place I went...Kandis called me on my way home and offered to come and assisst me. I don't know if she thought it would be fun or what, but if I were her, I probably would have run the other way. However, Kandis is a lot more considerate than I am and was at my door before I was. She must have been excited! It only took us an hour to finish it. It's all about the team work!!! So below are just a few pics, Kandis and I probably had more fun with it than our pictures show, but it was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. I encourage everybody to try this the first opportunity they get!
This first picture you see was right after I had cleaned up the wax that I "purpos
ely " poured down the drain. I was so focused on cleaning up the wax that I didn't pay attention to the fact that I had the wax container in the sink when I went to wash my hands. Therefore, water got mixed in with the wax...earlier I had done the same thing, but the wax was cold then...this time I forgot that I had warmed up the wax to make it thinner so it would be easier to clean...Resulting in was all over the sink and down the drain OOPS.
I didn't think to take pictures until we were 3/4 of the way done...I apologize, so let me try to explain to you what it looked like. The pink wax you see was caked on this entire wax warmer, about an inch thick. Try to clean up that much wax, we had to take it apart to be able to get all of the wax that drained inside out of there for it to work properly...I think smart people would have bought a new one, so obviously I am not the smartest lol, I just want to save money!!!!
The finished product! Looks better than new!!! We are professionals, we think we should go on the Martha Stewart show to share nationwide, the secrets of cleaning up your waxing kits. I'm sure everybody would appreciate these helpful hints. So I am officially copywriting this page so that nobody can steal our ideas lol
Now you know why this is called the result of Brandon's unibrow...because if he didn't need his unibrow waxed, then I wouldn't have had to get the waxing kit out, therefore I wouldn't have known that this wax and spilt everywhere....However, if I were getting it out for my use, I probably would have called it "The Results of Michelle's hairy legs" hehe jk
Boys have cooties!!! (Trying to re-do one of our engagement pics)
We played horseshoes!!! Little kid's horseshoes of course, with plastic horseshoes which ended up breaking because, obviously, we are not little kids. By the way, I beat everybody! I ended up with 3 points, Chris with 2 points, Brandon with 1 point and Katie with 0 points!!!
Then we finger painted!!! Just random stuff, I guess we don't have an imagination with this kind of stuff anymore :-)
We were supposed to end our date with otter pops, but we already had way too much junk and couldn't handle anymore. Then of course we were going to watch a little kids movie like Up or Imagine That or something, but once again, we were little kids and we set a bedtime for 10:00pm (which is a little late for kids), so we ended up going home and relaxing!!! All in all though, it was a fun date! Fun to be little kids again!!!
