Why? To get rid of fine wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin tone, sun-damaged skin, and mild to moderate acne scars. I never considered such a treatment after I saw my neighbor’s face when she did it. To me, she looked like she’d been napalmed!

However, this week I had a dinner party, and one of my guests suggested we sit on the patio. “Come on, Sue. We can light the fire pit, and you’ll be warm enough.” You’ve probably already guessed what happened next. As I lit the pit, the gas exploded, and I literally went up in smoke! My quasi-eldest daughter swatted the back of my hair, as I batted the singed bits from my black blazer. My eyebrows, and some of my hair that framed my face were mere ashes.

Curiously, I was not as shaken by the event as my guests were. To make them more at ease, I said in my best Southern accident, “Lord Jesus, it’s a fireyah.” They looked at me like I was insane! “Watch this YouTube video,” I commanded. (If you haven’t seen this viral, NBC affiliate KFOR-TV interview of Kimberly “Sweet Brown” Wilkins after escaping from an apartment complex fire in Oklahoma City, you must google Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That.

Sweet Brown certainly vanquished my guests’ anxiety. And me? I have very soft face and a lot less hair. After all, ain’t nobody got time to pluck eyebrows anyway.
