Well, hello Beautiful ladies,


Ok, you have to admit that, this question above, is a good one, or don’t you? Everyone has been online and seen some of these beauty hacks and am sure you have tried some of them and well, you wondered the same, am I right?
style tips 101


Well, let me tell you about my experience, I once read about how to use the sugar wax to remove any unwanted hair off the body and I thought to myself …’oh how easy! I have all the ingredients I need at home’. So early one Saturday morning, I decided it was the day to carry out this very easy and fast hack like the video said, so I took the ingredients, sugar, water, lemon and turned them up in a pan as instructed, I let it boil and as soon as it began browning, placed in a nylon for later use. Mind you by this time, I was very excited and I went in to start applying the wax, first to my armpits before my legs. As I start to apply it on with the wooden applicator, it felt good, at this point am smiling…☺️ then I proceeded to let my arms down, suddenly the sugar wax on the wooden applicator stick won’t come away from my armpit because its stuck with the sugar, and at same time am trying to drop the bowl in the other hand, then the struggle started, the sugar wax started to melt, how?? From where?? Confusion is setting in now by the way, As I was thinking in my head that the wooden was stuck, I pulled it and voila! A long strand of sticky sugar wax ran through my body to the other hand, panicking, am trying roll it back from my body to the bowl where the others are, I looked at those as well and they were starting to melt too and in my effort to pull out the wooden stick I had dug my other hand into the wax, my towel then decided it was the right time to come off…. Oh..lalalala…! there I was rubbed all over with wax and yet not waxed…loool. I managed to clean myself and gathered the wax that I could get together back in a bowl, into the freezer and clean my armpit so I could try again but this time with the use of my hands like some videos will show. I imagined those lovely videos of the lady seating down, one leg stretched out and rolling some cool wax across her legs, how easy and refreshing I thought.
So I sat and rolled out my skinny legs and out comes the wax, I needed to start now with my legs not armpit, so I start to apply it from the ankle upward and I notice there is no sweet glide, just friction, so I decided to add more wax in hand and started again, but alas ,as I tried to swipe the wax up like those videos, I ended up smearing my legs with wax that started to melt again as the time was ticking, I was so vexed, I didn’t know when I shouted ……”Lawd!!!’’ my cousin came in and saw me dripping in sticky sugary paste…. That made her day, trust me, her laughter had no shame, LMAO. By the time I was done, I said to myself, shaving cream and stick would have just been 10 mins work.


So What happened? They are many answers but just these 3:


1. Sugar wax work with body and room temperature, they both can’t be high temperature.
2. It can take time to apply and clean off.
3. You have to have mastered the act to apply it on without creating a mess.


Is it an easy and quick hack? – NO
It shouldn’t be called a hack, it’s a different method of shaving.
