On top of what I've already experienced in my girlhood, I went and got my eyebrows waxed for the first time in my life today.
I usually like to trim them with a razor, but lately it hasn't been cutting close enough for me, so what better alternative than to RIP THE HAIR OUT BY THE ROOT??
It's only because of this that I choose not to fear anything except frogs. Why would I be afraid of a cockroach or spider or salamander and yet purposefully inflict such pain on my being?? By old age, I want to be able to say "Go ahead, shoot. Pull the trigger!! I bet it doesn't hurt." instead of "LOOORRRRDDD PLEEEAASSSEEE NOOOOOO!!!"
If I die from the gun wound, at least my last words were bold and brave, right? And if I don't, all I have to do is not cry.
Anyway, here are some other things girls do that are painful but make them look great:
Shave legs (yo, that razor is sharp. I cut myself at least every other time)
Pop pimples (It hurts, but I hate pimples. A better alternative would be to drink a lot more water)
Hair (ironing, curling, braiding, weaving...it doesn't end. I say leave it up or down and call it a day)
Makeup (I say it hurts because it takes up time. And because I've stabbed myself in the eye with eyeliner plenty a time. Or blinded myself with powder)
Fake nails (I hate them, they hurt, and they're annoying. I cut them down to the quick once a week)
Scrub face (at least it comes out clean and baby-bottom smooth)
Etc. that I probably know nothing about
I know the Bible says not to adorn my outward appearance with things that don't matter, so I don't really like to spend more than an hour getting ready to do anything (including shower and picking out clean clothes). Also, I don't consider it adorning as much as it is good hygiene, you know? I can't have sycamores growing outta my legs, pimples all over my face, and ridiculously bushy brows...to some people that wouldn't matter, but nowadays it's considered bad hygiene...I don't make the rules, I just break them, get in trouble for breaking them, and promise not to break them again.
But I'm just sayin...my eyebrows look GREAT.

SUCKS TO BE FEMALE!!!! HAHAHAHAH
I hope I can impart some wisdom upon you my friend. I believe we as people and men specifically need to appreciate women for their natural beauty cause it is the true self.
I hold on to this mindset especially for my wife to be. I'm not going to see her with make-up when she wakes up. No. I'm going to see her with the fresh pillow marking lines on her face and drool running down her mouth....and you know what I'm gonna say...I love this woman, look how cute she is.
I remember a young lady I was dating, where I began to see her flaws as beautiful to me because I loved her so much.
Another thing I want to say. Not only do men need to adore a woman's natural beauty but women need to adore their natural as well. Let me ask you this, and this is just to make you think, would you consider yourself still beautiful if you didn't have a perm?
I live you with this. I agree it is ok and good for women to beautify themselves but be careful that your main source of beauty is coming from your heart. The heart that christ has cleansed to do good works and worship him.
