8 Thoughts EVERY Girl Has While She's Getting A Brazilian

I started waxing fairly young, getting my first ever bikini wax at 14 and getting regular Brazilians at the age of 17. Shaving just seemed like such a hassle and so uncomfortable and I always heard about the benefits of waxing opposed to it, so I figured, why not? But every single awful thing you ever heard about waxing is true. Yes, it is painful as all hell, and YES, those ladies really do get up in there with absolutely no inhibition. No matter how often I've gotten waxed, there's just no getting used to the sensation of a stranger grabbing and prodding your genitals with their cold hands. Here's a list of everything that runs through my mind as I lay down on the table before my lady comes in.

How much is a quarter of an inch anyway?

They tell you to trim down to a quarter of an inch before your wax, but who knows what a quarter of an inch really is? Is anyone out there actually measuring this?

Can I put this wax off somehow?

Even though I already paid the subway fare to get here and I'm half-naked on this table that strangely looks like an operating table, seeing the hot wax container is giving me second thoughts...

I wish she did my eyebrows first...

I'm just saying, if she did my eyebrows first I would've been more prepared for the pain. On the other hand, if I'm in shock, maybe the wax will hurt less...

Why do they make it so hot in this room?

I don't know about y'all, but my wax lady always cranks the heat up to 90 degrees right before my wax, making the whole experience just that more uncomfortable.

Can my wax lady tell that I'm sweating?

I'm gonna have to take a second shower after this. (Also, yes, they can totally tell.)

I can't believe I still have flesh left after that last one

Excuse me, I need a breather just to get my heart rate down.

How much do you tip someone for this anyway?

Anything less than $10 seems rude, considering that they were right up in your coochie.

I can't wait to treat myself to some cute panties after this

7 for $27 at Victoria's Secret still on? I deserve cute lingerie after this.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

thoughtcatalog.com

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
