Laser costs 700 dollars per session for your whole body, at the most. If you need your whole body done.
Multiply that by 6-8 (number of sessions).


The question is though: are the results worth it?

minus the oil, sure

but you know it's very possible to make decent tasting healthy chicken biryani. you have to start with making the chicken masala as a dark korma in the beginning with very very little oil etc

from my experience, and my very honest aesthetician, you will probably need more than 6-8 sessions, at least repeats on certain parts of the body and there's no guarantee that hair will just disappear or stop growing. i was told it would significantly decrease the speed at which the hair grows out at and some hairs may all together stop growing. first few sessions hurt like hell. and if you go with laser, you awrah will still need something.

also, once you are satisfied with the results, you will periodically need follow up sessions. and when you get preggo, iA your hormones may become out of whack leaving you a once lasered and hair free but now hairy beast.


and it hurts like hell.

now my purse is empty but i feel pretty.

awwww

i just changed my eyebrow lady because of the move we did, so my lady is like 20 minutes away now, but it had been a good 7 weeks since i got them done last so i had to get them done but my freind took me to her eyebrow lady and i was so scared shed mess up cause of that bad experience i had with switching ladies once where she went crayz and made em super thin, but i told her exactly how id wanted it and honestly, this woman did SUCH a good job mashallah im impressed and ill just stick to her not to mention, that she charged me $2 less than my other lady would, thanks to my freind taking me there....hehe. i love it! so i dont have to pay $7 anymore and drive 20 minutes to get my eyebrows done on top of that! and the atmosphere is more nicer than the other salon, too.

btw girls, where would u find a really good epilator? also, is it better than waxing?

I did some laser. It doesn't completely remove the hair and I didn't do my awra. It does make it all easier to manage but it doesn't get rid of it. I still epilate actually. The main diff now is that I can actually get away more with shaving less often if I couldn't epilate. And why some hair is growing finer is beyond me but I won't question it

I've never had a facial, what do they do?

I'm sorry, this is so gross but I have this really painful pimple on the left side of my face, it's been there for almost 2 weeks and won't go away. What can I do for it?

basmati rice and other long grained rice have a moderate glycemic index, unlike white rice usually eaten in america. this means that the sugar in the rice takes a while to be released into your system. which is a good thing. anything with a high glycemic index is bad for you in excess unless it's fruit/veggies in their original state (non preserved) etc.

one way to slow down the process of the carbs in basmati rice from being released into your system even more is to eat it with protein like chicken or something

I love you and I love rice...this post is all the more reason to eat it . I love making yellow cumin rice in my rice cooker

And stop talking about chicken biryani! I've been living off of bland American and Italian food for the last week and the Indian restaurant we went to was even more tasteless than plain bread. I want my mama's chicken biryani

I cant wait to go back to Champaign (where I live on campus). I have a gigantic box of Shaan mix for chicken haleem and a freezer full of chicken. Yummmaaaayyy I can't wait

Have you tried benzoyl peroxide? Like Neutrogena's on the spot treatment? If it doesn't react with bp, then call your derm and get a cortisone injection.

I use a gentle wash twice a day and the benzoyl peroxide Proactive lotion after it. I don't regularly go to a dermatologist, I haven't been to one in years because they've never helped. I have an esthetician though...I just thought of it, I should probably call her. Lemme try and see what she says..

i meant to ask the same thing

and is it bad to get one if you're acne-prone? couldn't it just aggravate your skin and cause a flare-up?

It depends. There are different types. They'll probably do an acid peel (not as bad as it sounds). It'll exfoliate your skin. There's no downtime for these. You just see the results slowly over the next week.

And they perform extractions (unclog your pores) so answer your question, a good estececian (I can never spell that right) will not do something to cause a flare up. If anything it'll help but if you have acne, unless you go regularly, it's not going to do much, but it wont make things worse.

I find them relaxing and they help a little I guess.
