The European Wax Center Review

  I decided to visit my local European Wax Center on Poplar Ave. The location which is tucked away in a shopping center but still visible from the road. I was introduced to the wax center through instagram (the power of social media) and was interested initially in a Brazilian wax but couldn't conjure up the nerves to get it done so I decided to take advantage of the complimentary first visit to get my eyebrows waxed.

I reserved an appointment online for my session and showed up a bit early to check out the place. I was warmly greeted and ask if I had a reservation once I got checked in and all my information was confirmed (take your id) I was given a brochure that provides information about obtain prepaid sessions that will save you money if you go regularly it was no pressure but more of a informative pitch. Afterwards I sat in the lobby and waiting patiently for my 5:30 appointment. While waiting, I noticed how busy they were and was glad I made an appointment I also notice that they offer a skincare and cosmetic line of products. After waiting shortly I was called back my esthetician was very nice and walked me through the entire process. At European Wax Center they used a four-step method where they clean and treat the area before waxing, their waxing process does not involve strips so they pull-off the wax itself (pretty neat). I noticed that it was less painful than my normal nail shop waxing and they esthetician was so bubbly that I got so involved in our small talk that the process was over very quickly. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and told everyone I knew about it and also reserved my next appointment. 

We decided to keep the natural shape of my eyebrows and just clean it up overall I'm impressed.

Weekly Round Up: Visit to Shelby Farms Park and Curtis Givens All White Affair

So after working six straight days my off day finally arrived. I decided to not waste the day in the house and to visit the infamous "sand park" that my daughter always asks to visit. When we arrived I notice how pretty the greenery and trees have started to grow at the newly developed park. I decided to take a seat in the shade while I watched Alyssa play in the sand. It maybe weird but I actually enjoy watching my little one interact with other children it's so interesting to see how they communicate and interact with one another. 

Every year club owner and party promoter Curtis Givens hosts an event filled weekend called the "Can I Live" weekend for his birthday celebration. One of the main events is the "All White Affairs" and to my knowledge he's one of the first to bring that event on a grand scale to Memphis. I went last year with my best friend Kimberly. This year I was invited by a good friend who hadn't never experience it. This year it was hosted at the Esplanade Banquet Center in Cordova and although I like the set-up of the Cadre better than the Esplanade we had a ball. I didn't get many pictures because I was too busy living in the moment but I manage to snap a few before I left home. 

I decided to wear the same dress I wore last year to the event. I wonder if this was a taboo wearing the same dress two years in a row but honestly I didn't care. The reason why I didn't care was because I haven't worn the dress since the event last year. So it has been sitting in my closet, and also every dress that I did want to order sold out before I could make up my mind that I actually wanted it. Nevertheless, I decided to wear again this year plus I'm not that known in Memphis nobody noticed.
