Threading

From the time I heard about threading in 2004, I have always wondered how one could possibly remove hair by using only a thread. So after six years of delay, I finally walked in Zubias Threading for my first eyebrow session. I could not wait to leave looking a Mediterranean Goddess!

In the first few seconds, I thought, hey, this is just thread brushing against my skin. Not bad. Then suddenly, I could hear my eyebrows being pulled out from my screaming follicles. And I started tearing up.

Yup, she has one end of the thread in her mouth. No idea why and she somehow wound the thread around her fingers so she could pull at my hair. Thankfully she was friendly which helped my "I laugh when I'm in pain" syndrome.

$19 later, I was beautifully eyebrow shaped and certain that I will head back there once the hair grows back (which I hear isn't anytime soon). Phew!

Work it at Zumba class

The drive to my first Zumba class was enough to throw me off into another dimension. The cars in front and at the back of me were all heading in the same direction towards the youth centre. It felt like synchronized driving.

And there were at least 70 people already waiting in the gym by the time I got there. I couldn't believe how long I've been putting this off. MONTHS now. The instructor was this cheerful (not chirpy) late 20s, early 30s lady who definitely had some South American blood in her cuz she could move her hips like in the movies.

I did think that it could be a bit daggy considering there were so many people (only 2 men) in the class and thought maybe the instructor would do really basic slow moves. But it was quick, to the wicked latino/african beats and so much fun! I felt so free like I was dancing in my room.

At times, her moves were so sick that I thought I was watching a movie. It was out of whack! Best 104 ever! Thanks Marie! Am planning to head back next week. Wee hee!!
