Very Sticky Trial and Error

This may be TMI for some, but I love waxing. I think it is way better than shaving. 

I have no problem waxing myself.

I actually feel as though I am a stronger woman for waxing myself. 

Because I am literally causing the pain I feel. 

It is a little intense when you think about it.

But anyways, a while ago I found a recipe on Pinterest for sugar waxing.

I have been intrigued with the process because

1. It doesn't stick to your skin, so it hurts less

{BINGO!}

2. It's made with food so there is a less chance of irritation.

Anything made with food or is natural is alright in my book!

I tried to today. The recipe was simple:

2 cups of sugar

1/4 cup of lemon juice

1/4 cup of water

To cut to the chase...it was HORRIBLE.

It did not cook the right way, and it was as thick as honey, instead of wax.

I suggest you do not use this recipe. There are other poor reviews on it too, that of course, I found after the fact.

{kinda looks like pee here, haha}

I researched a little more and then found a better recipe 

{this one actually worked!!!}

it's...

2 cups of sugar

2 teaspoons of lemon juice

3/4 cup of water

You let it come to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium so it is at a constant simmer.

The mixture's end result is supposed to be a golden brown, kind of like a honey color.

Well I lost track of time and burnt it. Pretty bad.

It is a dark brown. A dark, dark, brown. 

I need to find a happy medium.

I will try again and once I am successful, I will have a review to see how much better this works!
