The Sweet Spot

Bikini waxes. Never really a truly enjoyable experience, but for some of us, it's something that must be done.
In honor of my upcoming trip to Mexico, I made the trek to The Sweet Spot for an extended bikini wax, which is not quite as extreme as a Brazilian but good enough for a bathing suit.
The Sweet Spot doesn't use the typical wax and rip technique that I've become accustomed to. They are actually the first professional body sugaring service in Seattle. "Sugaring" involves the use of a very pliable warm substance that is massaged into the skin and then quickly pulled off. Although a little painful, it's not nearly as tear-inducing as some of the other waxes I've had. The results? No bumps, slight redness that went away within 8-10 hours and hair that took much longer to grow back.
Well worth the time and money!
