Do I or don’t I? Wax on, wax off? To Brazilian or not…to Brazilian? These are the questions I asked myself before placing the call. That’s right, I made an appointment.

This. Is. Momentous.

Why after thirty odd years of living have I decided I need to go to a salon and have some stranger peek at my privates right before they torture me? In a word, Jamaica.

That’s right, I’m heading to Jamaica in November for six days and five nights of fun in the sun. Beach front room with a butler who will follow me around delivering drinks and food as needed.

What you may not know is that I have been busting my hump for months to loose weight in general, and now that we booked this vacation I’ve been working even harder. I have lost 20lbs and look the best I’ve looked in almost two years. I had a lot of health issues that kept me sedentary and resulted in weight gain on top of my already overweight state.

That said, with the weight loss and a trip coming up, bikini shopping was REQUIRED! So, I bought a cute set of two tops and one bottoms. Then I came home to two suits my hubby came across while shopping and so he grabbed them for me. Needless to say, I am well equipped as long as I keep losing weight.

I already feel sexier and more attractive which has its benefits. *waggles eye brows* That said, the Jamaica trip is special since it is for our anniversary…that’s right 12 years. We are beating the national average. Heh. But with a trip to Jamaica, a changed body, and some new bikinis I realized some serious grooming was required. And damn it, I hate shaving. Wax!

Now granted, two years ago I read K.C.’s post at Smokin’ Hot Books about getting waxed and, well I won’t lie. It has me scared. Terrified really. I mean who wouldn’t be after reading:

I’ve completely jack-knifed to a sitting position and am panting after yelling out ‘Jesus Christ on a crutch’.

I mean. Really? I hope this is not what I signed up for. However, the idea of not having to shave my lady bits while on vacay is so alluring that I have in fact scheduled an appointment. So, I promise to report back on my experience and let you know if I feel as sexy after as I hope.

In the mean time, feel free to bolster my courage with some positive experiences of waxing, or you could make me laugh with other kinds of waxing stories.
