So I'm an Italian... Its not a secret... and so hair removal is a conversation topic often. Frankly I find it as an aggravation not only that I should conform to the rules of 'the world'.. but primarily it aggravates me because it makes my showering less efficient. It makes me waste precious water and time when I could be sleeping in instead!
So when we found a Groupon to have three laser hair removal sessions for a hugely discounted rate we thought 'oh yeah let's give that there a whirl'.
Meanwhile I was clearly still in wedding planning mode (hence the no posting people, ya'll knew!),, and so I was still partaking in the waxing for some of the special events so that I did not have to worry about shaving the day before or day of the events.
So how do we get this beautiful underarm?? (well besides toned muscles and what not).
Waxing- pulls the hair from the root (or at least its intended to).. But it does require that it be at least 'the size of a piece of rice'. in length. Which is SUPER awkward to try to wait for this to occur especially in the summer!
The place that I went to uses organic creams and lotions and powders to make the hair less painful and also to create a smooth and protected arm afterward. PS. It hurts for a few moments and then its over.
That being said, after doing it three or four separate times in the past few months,,,the hair is much thinner and almost blonde which makes the aggravation much less!
Laser-- According to the consultant laser actually attacks the root folicles and kills them. And well,,,,,,,well I haven't actually DONE it yet.. So the 'after opinions' have yet to occur.
BUT. Unlike Waxing you can NOT have hair! Who knew? Not me! You also have to avoid sun, and antibiotics and all these other rules that they not only just said to us during a quick consultation but that they didn't think MAYBE to give me a handout?
Not only that but I have to say EVERYTIME I buy one of those sneaky Groupons or Seize the Deals, all it is is a commercial to get me to buy more of the products. They can't be happy that I'm intrigued with their business or interested or involved and actually stepped up to purchase from them,, instead they want to push more and more and more and frankly that makes me feel irate and manipulated.
So we will check out these three sessions and see if the Laser changes my life,, but they've already promised me that I would most likely (as all people do apparently bleh) need 6-9 MORE sessions which cost an additional 1700 DOLLARS (insane and never going to happen). and we'll see. I promise to report back.
cause I'm a blogger again.. :) but now a married one , wink.
HOLLA!

I've come the conclusion that Groupon is more trouble that it is worth. It's sort of like that hot new pair of shoes that you just MUST buy and then as soon as you walk out of the store they rip up your feet something awful. Jerks. Glad you are back to blogging!
yaye!!!! I missed you married girl!! Like you, I'm Italian, and hair removal is just a part of life. I've never had hair removal under arms or on legs, but after bouts with electrolysis, I had laser hair removal for every 3 weeks for about a year, and then every 3 months for another year, and now I only have to go about once a year!! I go for neck/jawline, its embarressing to say but even more embarressing to not do anything about. Its amazing and I definetly recommend the laser, although honestly it does shock alittle bit so just make sure its safe to do underarms as its so close to breasts and i would check into any instances of cysts etc from it, probably there's not, but just to be safe! It is electricity you're sending through your body, but man is it worth it when you don't have the unwanted hair there anymore! (or have it so thin you can barely see it!) Good Luck!!
