Necessity for the Mature Woman

Necessity for the Mature Woman

Or on a Wild Hair

I was careful to use the term mature and not older.

When a woman reaches a certain age a good pair of tweezers is mandatory. I do want to stress a "good" pair. I have seen cheaply made ones. Those are definitely not worth the price. Mine are definitely high quality...I think handed down by my mom. So, whenever they leave my make up bag I keep a watchful eye on them.

My first memory of using tweezers was in plucking out my grandmother's chin hairs. Now, as the saying goes, it's come full circle. The difference is I'm plucking out my own two chin hairs that tend to sprout once a week. Then there is the occasional wild hair moving around to different locations. Last week, maybe I should have considered entering one for a Guinness world record, or at least looked into Ripley's Believe It or Not. However, after the shriek when I discovered it, my tweezer finger was automatic and quick.
