Ah…I'd been working on the Remi the past couple of days…man..the top of my feet feet are totally bruised!! ~>_<~

[Mechie]

Ah!! I wanna go but I'm in the East Coast.  Any ladies from the East flying over to the West?? 

[Mechie]

Ok – Followup…I've been using PFB Vanish…and it WORKS LIKE A CHARM!!  Oh my gosh..this is the first time I didn't get ANY ingrown hair! No red bumps..nothing!!

I just came back from a 10 days vacation and I waxed myself right before my trip…after I waxed, I put on the cooling gel, then I roll on the PFB Vanish.  After that, I apply it once every other day or so.  It doesn't sting at all, however, it feels a little "warm" after you apply it, it's not burn, just slight warm, after 1 min or so, the warmth will go away.

I highly recommend this product! Now I'm one happy smooth and pain free girl…LOL

@chemgoddess – Would tea tree oil work?? (The only thing that I have contains salicylic acid I have is the Neutrogena face wash…)  i ordered the PFB Vanish…but it'll take several days to arrive =( 

@SashaMae – I'm NOT an experience waxer…This is my FIRST TIME…LOL  But..the wax job felt ok…like I mentioned, no redness or bumps after I wax…it's when the hair grow back…that's when the issue begin T_T

 

[Mechie]

Thanks ladies…I just bought a bottle of PFB Vanish from Amazon..I can't wait till it get here!! (I like the rolling feature..and it's suppose to work like Tend Skin)

I have more questions…

1) Does the bump marks you get ever go away? (red/brown spots…you get the idea)

2) Can I use PFB Vanish/Tend Skin when the hair is growing out or it only works when you put it on right after you wax?

@MissChiefNYC – I figure there can't be more pain then poling…LOL It's actually not that bad, some parts hurts like !@#$%, which is the area in front, all the other area doesn't hurt too much (on a scale of 1 to 10….front = 9, everywhere else = 6-7) Plus, I bought the kit with everything for $40 w/ free shipping (I read it last 6-7 wax)…a wax job alone can cost $65/wax.

Congratulations!! That’s HARD!! It requires sooo much strength!!

I’m still a newbie but I remember the first time when I susscessfully climbed the pole and the first time when I did an invert…I was like “Wow” – it feels like you’re on top of the world…LOL

I saw Dirdy Birdy’s recent YouTube video where she did a spinning no-leg climb…I was mesmerized…Definitely on my Pole Bucket List!! ^_^

[Mechie]

"Mechie" is short for student in Mechanical Engineering…(Sorta like "ChemEng" short for Chemical Engineering…and "Double E" for Electrical Engineering…)

It was stuck with me the day when people started to introduced me as "She's a Mechie" instead of "Her name is so and so…"   Geeky…I know…LOL

[Mechie]

Wow, really? Only $20? I’m guessing this fits all the pole with XJoints and not just the new pole??

[Mechie]

Anyone know the price of these new joints??

[Mechie]

I have the same issue.  I didn't start to wear makeup till college. And now I wear makeup everyday for work.  But, on weekends, I tried to let my skin "rest" and I don't put anything on.  Now I try to wear more neutral makeup and hopefully eventually my makeup routine will go lighter and lighter…

To answer your question: Yes, I still consider myself beautiful without makeup (on days where  my face is not breaking out that is…)  

I think for women to "look good" it's really a "package"….not just makeup, but also the hair, what you wear, how you carry yourself…but most important of all, confident!!

I'm joining the crowd…I have NO motivation to even touch my pole…

Work was up to my throat, family stuffs, plus traveling…I haven't touch my pole in over a month! Last night when I tried to practice…I lost sooo much strength.  I spent almost an hr trying to get my pole sit and plank back…but nope. Argh… I could carely do a basic invert and I was working on the gemini before the "break"…This makes me sooo depress…

I'm also in the East Coast….the weather is getting freakishly cold…I played with my pole for an hour and it was still cold and slippery!!

Man..I wish I can live with another poler so we can kep each other in check!!

[Mechie]

I have dry and extremely sensitive skin (and I have eczema that's prone to breakout)…I highly recommend BB Creams (aka Blemish Balm Cream)!!  There are many different brand out there and there are different kind for different type of skin.  I'm currently using Missha and Skin79, they are both very affordable (under $20).   The only "problem" with BB cream is, you should exfoliate your face once a week (I use St Ives Apricot Scrub) because even if you clean your face REALLY well, they will still be residue accumlate on your skin.

The good about BB cream: they are excellent for sensitive skins, they have SPFs in them, once they "set" they are matte (so it's like an all-in-one…you won't need liquid foundation and powder…etc.), the price is cheap for the quality (at least the 2 that I recommend)

The bad about BB cream: they don't come in a lot of colors, so you will need to do some research and test the color.  I'm Asian, medium skin tone and I'm using No 23 in Missha (they come in 3 colors), as for Skin79, it only comes in 1 color. 

Another "trick" about BB cream is, they oxidate.  This means once you put it on, the color will change in 10-15min, then it just sets.  For example, when I apple my Missha/Skin79 – the color looks greyish and light…but after 10 min or so, my skin looks radiant – the color matching is just perfect.

Don't just take my word for it – do some research on your own.  But, if you were to buy BB cream to test the water, I suggest you start with Missha and Skin79 (the Pink SKin79 is for oily skin, the Gold Skin79 is for dry skin).  Also, most importantly, there are A LOT of fake stuffs out there so becareful, if you want, I can recommend a couple of places to buy them online – they directly ship them from Korea and I'd been using them for the past 3 years…no issue at all ^_^

Good Luck!!

In from that area…as far as I know, there’s none that’s why I got my own pole and get lessons in Veena.

Every once in awhile I’ll take some classes down in Hartford CT.

If you know of any places that’s closer then Hartford CT…lemme know…cause I would love to meet more polers forms this area!!
