Va-JJ Hair Removal...

Yes, this blog post is about my experience getting a wax job down there. It was no joke. Would I recommend it? Definitely. Will I do it again? Definitely. Did it hurt? Definitely.

So groupon is amazing and I got a Brazilian Wax for $35. A friend agreed to hold my hand and I thought why not?! I have always wanted to do it and this is half price so it's win win. I took my pain meds and thought it can't be that bad, besides the vagina heals itself so quickly anyway. I can do this. This pep talk did not help much but I ended up getting on the table anyway... She had to trim the area first (I wasn't sure how long it needed to be so I let it grow) which was very embarrassing but funny to me. Then she got started. The wax was warm but not hot and then she put the cloth strip over it and WHAM!!! I expected it to hurt but wow! That was a shock and I literally cried out in pain. I almost got off the table and walked out of there, but my friend survived and I didn't want to be a total vag (haha) so I didn't move. I stayed spread eagle and let the torture continue. Yes I said torture because that is exactly what it was... TORTURE!! But I survived like many do, tipped the nice lady and left.

The first day or so after my whole region was nice and swollen which was very unattractive but fascinating at the same time. I walked a little funny but the pain was getting better so that was a plus. By day 3 she was back to normal size and she very smooth. Despite the pain and swollen vagina I loved it and so did the hubby. It's lasted about a month and no red bumps appeared like when shaving. I did use my Coochy as a calming lotion during the shower but I don't know if it helped or just helped ease my mind. Regardless I'm going to make that a regular part of my waxing ritual from now on. Final verdict: if you have ever thought about doing it, just do it. You will find that the pain isn't as bad as you think it will be or that you are way tougher than you thought you could be. Either way you'll survive and love the end result (and so will your spouse). <3

My PR Passion

Pure Romance came into my life almost 6 years ago when a friend threw my bachelorette party. I remember thinking how much fun I had and of course I was super excited to get to try so of the many products on my wish list thanks to all my friends. But never once did I think I could ever sell PR for a living. In fact, as open as I am it felt so wrong to even think about it.

What changed? Well a couple years later one of my BFFs started her PR biz and loved it. She never pushed too hard to get me to sign up (now I wish she had!) and I never asked to many questions. I realize now that I let fear stop me. You see, I have tried selling many different things over the years and failed at it. You can't expect to sell a product that you aren't passionate about and that is exactly what happened to me. I started out with good intentions but always got bored or moved on to the next thing. Once I even helped a friend by signing up underneath her so she could meet her fast track requirements. It was free so why not? No surprise when I got bored and quit.

Over the years I hosted a few parties, went to a few parties, and ordered lots of products. Then the kits went on sale (for a third time) and the sale was 60% off. My PR mom finally got her recruit. Why now? Well, honestly I am the type of person who likes to keep busy. If I don't have a ton of things going on then I get bored and lazy. This was fun way to get out of the house and be a woman, not a wife, or a mother. I thought, the heck with what anyone thought! I want to have fun! So I signed up and started studying.

My first party was extremely nerve racking. My stomach hurt, I had no idea what I doing, and I was just plain scared to death. But I kept reading the information provided, I watched demo videos, and I listened to speeches and seminars. Two things happened... The parties started getting easier. I found that once I relaxed I set the mood for everyone. Second, I realized how much I loved it. I get to connect with women on a very personal level and sometimes help them improve what I believe to be one of the most important aspects in our lives... Our sexual health. Now it's a ministry for me. I don't feel like my business is taboo anymore, it's empowering. I educate, I entertain, and I empower women. I study and I talk about something that really matters, and if it doesn't it should! Who'd of thought that selling relationship enhancement products could bring me closer to God and help me work toward perfecting me? This is what PR has done for me. It has changed my life, made me want to be a better person, wife and mother. And it has helped me help other women do the same. Sex is a hard topic but it shouldn't be ignored. It should be embraced and enjoyed!!!

Xoxo, Lindsay
