Proof that I am an Idiot!

So I love Pinterest! I mean who doesn't! It is awesome and gives people awesome ideas. Only sometimes it doesn't! Sometimes it gives people ideas that seem bloody brilliant and end in disaster! This happened to me last night. I came across a great video about how to make your own sugar wax, and I was like Yes! This is awesome! A natural and cheap alternative to shaving! Winning!!! I watched the video, and was like WHATTTT that is so easy! I got this!

FALSE! I did not have anything! Not even close! I think was hanging in there for the first 5 minutes and then everything just started to go terribly wrong.

In the video the lady tells you to let the wax cool on marble...I did not listen because I was like meh I don't need no stinkin' marble! but I did! I put water on the counter and then poured out the wax from the pan so it can cool and it just went everywhere! It was all over the counter on the wall, the floor, in my hair. My shoe was temporarily stuck to the floor! It was a disaster! It finally started to gel, and I was able to make a ball with it in my hand. What that lady failed to mention is the stuff is like sticky ooblek (you know that stuff that you made in elementary school that is like a liquid and a solid?) Yea it was a lot of fun, but the wax did work! Its amazing! It will rip all your hair out!

You can go from this...

to this in 5 seconds flat!

So where did it go wrong? Back to the whole make sure you pour the wax out on marble! This stuff is super strong, and it was super stuck to my counter. I am 95% sure that I could put a penny on that counter, a bomb could go off in my cabin, and I would find that penny attached to some counter by the wax! So I spent an hour scraping it off the counter with a heated spoon and some hot water!

This is 30 min in!

So in conclusion: All youtube videos are lies, when people say marble they mean marble, and pinterest is a giant trap for women!!!




P.S.~ Finally found something pink for Lace that comes in size giant!
