Taming the Hairy Beast

Eyebrows.
Us Miller girls, we got 'em. Some girls are born with narrow, shapely brows that need little maintenance but not us. Unlike the need for glasses and braces, we can't blame this fact on Chris' Miller genes. Nope... They come from this man right here, MY dad, Kelly Totero. See how lush and verdant his brows are? I used to tease him and say that the only things I inherited from him were his eyebrows and his belly! (I always wanted brown eyes and dark, wavy hair!) Luckily, Marissa and I have found a solution for keeping our eyebrows under control...
Eyebrow threading!
There is a little kiosk outside of Penney's on the upper level of Oak Park Mall where you can have your eyebrows beautifully shaped in as little as five minutes. (They also do mustaches and sideburns and any other unwanted facial hair, but luckily, we didn't inherit that problem!)
The operator rolls her thread through your eyebrows and pulls the hair from the root. It's much less painful that plucking and lasts alot longer.
Halfway done!
We stumbled upon this kiosk last May and first thought that eyebrow threading was some kind of new-fangled way to pierce. After watching for a few minutes, we were hooked and knew we had to try it!
It's amazing how precisely the operator can use the thread to capture wayward hairs.
All finished. Sleek and beautiful brows in just five minutes! Now we're ready for that family portrait shoot later today.
