Luck be a Lady.....

I was simply on fire. On a roll. Luck be a lady. Baby’s got a new pair of shoes.

I simply brought the house down.

All that and it was only 10:00 AM.

I was at the local MOMS Club Mother’s Day raffle. I bought 5 tickets and all 5 were winners. My biggest win was a $900 laser leg hair removal package.

A week later, I went to the Medical Spa to claim my wonderful prize.

Zzzap! Ouch. Zzzap! Ouch. Zzzap! Ouch. Zzzap! Ouch.

Afterwards, I looked at the welts on my legs and realized that beauty does come with a price tag.

Indeed.

OK, so maybe it was free for me, but you get the picture.

I'm thinking photos would really have enhanced this post. ;)

Suzi said...

Youch! I think I will stick with the shaving bit.

FranticMommy said...

Yikes! But I'll bet you endured it with grace and style cuz, that's just how your roll! :)

Hmmmmmm, my question is....IF you had the money...would you do it again???

mommy4life said...

Okay! It hurts a little, but the real question is - How long did it last?

A week, a month...??

Astrid in Bristling Acres said...

Yes...photos would indeed have been helpful. :) LOL! How long did the welts last?

Does it work?

It might be worth the pain if it actually worked long term.

Congrats on the win.

(And I love my MC's. I'm off to an event in a few minutes.)

OK, so the pain was temporary. It felt like a rubber band snapping on my legs. And, the welts only lasted 2 hours. I will have to go back for a few more treatments before all the hair is gone. But, so far, the results are lovely!

So, yep! I'd do it again!

Sounds... um, painful. Nice to win. But I'm too much of a wimp for pain.

I'm definitely envious. The epilady thing left welts for me, too and I was supposed to REPEAT the process. At least you'll be done with it after the laser stuff is done.

Christie said...

Yikes...painfully free.

The things we are willing to endure to have a little time to ourselves hey!

Mom said...

OMG, it sounds like the Epilady! Remember those from the 1980s?! Ouch!

Life...EXAGGERATED

jubilee said...

I won't request pics. My imagination is enough for THAT one.

Ouch! What other prizes did you win?

OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!

Patrice said...

Wow! well even if with a little bit of pain, a $900 treatment for free? I'd still call that a win!

Gaspegirl said...

roflmao... that is funny! Congratulations on your win!!

Mammatalk said...

My other wins were...9 free passes to a kiddie play place, a haircut with products, a picture frame, one month Baby Boot camp, and the laser treatment.

Oh honey, beauty does come with a price. A client of mine encouraged me to get a IPL peel. I thought yea sure OK, sounds easy enough if you dont mind a thousand rubber bands snapping your face. When I left that office I felt violated and abused; then I had to pay the girl $600. WHAT? I have to pay for that? good lord never again!Stopping by from SITS to leave some thursday bloggy love!

Alicia said...

Gibby said...

Yikes! I've always wondered about those things. Now I know...

Coffee with Cathy said...

The things we do for beauty ... and freebies! Hope your other wins are less painful.

Oh Wow! How nice will that be when it's finally done and over?
