Wax-Nest

Ok so two posts in one day, yep I am wild and crazy. I couldn't help but share this one and figured I best do it before I forget.

Last night I headed out from work and decided to pop in to the salon at the bottom of the hill from my office for a quick brow\lip wax. I had been there a few times with positive results. After waiting a mere five minutes I was taken out back by a new technician. She was done quickly and aside from the wax being a tad too hot when she got to the lip area all was good after a quick glance in the handheld mirror. I unfortunately spoke too soon. I was fiddling with my bag attempting to dislodge my sunglasses all while navigating around Prospect Hill onto 128 when I felt something sticky on my neck. Well sure enough after a quick reach around I found a rather large clump of still warm sticky wax in the underneath of my hair. Did I mention I was heading to the South Shore to meet my friend and her mom for dinner and baby shower accessory shopping. As I drove I realized I was not going to have any success while driving removing the sticky nasty rats nest that was growing larger with every motion. I did the only thing I could , I went for containment. I grabbed an elastic and twisted it around the clumpy mess walling it off from the rest of my coif. So as I entered dinner at Rick's Cafe I sported a 1980's side tail\braid thing (that luckily could be somewhat shielded) rather than a Something About Mary Cameran Diaz-esque crazy do.

I am happy to report that a little olive oil several hours later removed the offending wax-nest.
