DIY hair removal using Strip It Sugar Wax
When I became a mom, I lost tolerance for waiting in line for my turn inside waxing salons. Though I enjoy the convenience of having someone else do all the “dirty work” for me, I’d rather spend the precious minutes cuddling with my baby or doing some other mommy errand. So I looked for hair…
