Michigan in the summer is amazing: the beaches, the hiking, the biking, the lakes. This is the time of year that makes up for the bitter cold and ice, and I really can't spend enough time soaking it all in.

I'd prefer to soak it in without looking like I'm wearing a sweater. Shaving and cleanup is a hassle, and rather futile when you think about it, so I was excited to meet Kara at Waxology's Rockford location. Within a few minutes, my back hair - GONE. My arm hair - GONE. Even my nose hair - GONE. And the best part is that it lasts for up to six weeks.

It was practically painless, and the whole process was hassle-free. We talked the whole time, and Kara was fun and a total pro. There was zero cleanup. They offer services for both men and women and their new client special is half off brows or Brazilian (or Manzilian) waxing or sugaring services. They have a new location in downtown Rockford, but they also are in Breton Village in Grand Rapids.

If you're in the same boat as me (or simply wishing you were on a boat already), hit up Kara and my friends at Waxology at ilovewaxology.com for more info and to book a spot. You'll be ready for everything summer's going to throw at you in no time!
