This blog was brought about by one and ONLY one thing - BAGGAGE ALLOWANCE.

Join my journey as a young housewife in another country armed only with limited articles of clothing and a good sense of practicality against the ever-changing four seasons. My personal challenge is to survive a year with just the things I came with. Emergency clothes purchases should not go above $10.

Help me by following my blog and holding me accountable on this self-imposed challenge.

Timer starts now!

How To Thread Your Eyebrows

I was forced to learn this when I first went here last 2010. I was too kuripot to have it done in the salons here (because they cost an arm and a leg!).

Step 1: Get a thread (not too long). I usually just guesstimate or do trial and error. Long threads make it harder to operate.


Step 2: Make a knot (best to do a double knot so it doesn't unravel during threading)


Step 3: I do not know how to call this so I'll just say "make an infinity kembular". This is done by twisting the thread on your right hand while the left hand stays still. The more the merrier.



Step 4: Place the thread over the eyebrows making sure that the hair you wanted to remove is after the "infinity kembular area" (big triangle). Note that the left forefinger and thumb are touching each other.



Step 5: Open left forefinger and thumb. At this point the "infinity" knots should have "razed" over the hairs (for lack of better term, sorry!). Achievement unlocked! Yipee!


So sleepy, time to go!
