Jittery Kitty

Haru has been very jittery and nervous since the Eve of CNY, no thanks to the deafening fireworks in our neighborhood every single night and lion dance at our condo last Sunday.

Every night when the sky turns dark and thundering fireworks start to break the silence of the night, Haru scrambles to find a place to hide. She’ll choose a different place to hide each night and all of us will go looking for her, as if we were playing Hide-And-Seek with her.

On Sunday (Chor 8), there was a lion dance performance at the pool side of our condo. As soon as the clamorous sounds of drums and clanking cymbals were heard from our unit (5th floor), Haru started to run into hiding. We brought Haru to my bedroom and showed her the lion dance from the window but she was terrified. Her body turned stiff and she was quivering. She then jumped off from my hands and went into hiding.

We spent almost 20 minutes looking for Haru at all her usual hiding places and finally found her under my bed. I wonder how she squeezed herself under the bed as it’s a low bed frame. She hid there for more than an hour and only got out when the lion dance finally ended.

Sitting under the table, and feeling safe next to daddy’s feet. This was on the first night of CNY when the unforgiving sounds of fireworks went on until the wee hours of the morning. She also howled throughout the night. Poor girl.

Last night I went searching for Haru again and found her at a new spot – on a clothes shelf in the mil’s walk-in wardrobe. Thank goodness I found her in the nick of time as the mil was about to step into her room. The mil would probably flip and get a shock of her life to see a cat sitting on her clothes shelf 😹. This is only going to make her despise Haru more.

Thank goodness CNY is almost coming to an end but Haru will go through hell again this Sunday on the last night of CNY when people start bombing the neighborhood again 😿. And burning of fireworks and firecrackers is illegal in our country (except for 2 types) as they’re in the same category as dynamite!

And the latest I read is that the Government has only on 2 February 2023 legalized the use of fireworks and firecrackers. So yeah, we can all be prepared to turn zombified for the remaining days of CNY and all other festivals from now onwards.

Why Waxing Is Relevant For Hair Removal

Waxing is the most popular and efficient way to remove unwanted hair. It does not only allow for finer control over where the person wants to have hair removed, but it also lasts longer than shaving.

History

Waxing has been a popular hair removal technique for many centuries—waxing dates back to ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptian women used an oil-and-honey-based concoction called “sugaring” to remove unwanted body hair.

During the Middle Ages, women in Europe and India started using wax to remove hair from their bodies. This hair removal method was made even easier by resins from Africa.

A French beautician developed a unique formula in the 19th century. It was a successful hair removal product that spread throughout Europe. This unique formula made it much easier for women to remove their hair.

While waxing has been around for centuries, it was in the 1930s that it became widely available for mass use. In that decade, the first commercial body wax was manufactured.

It removes dead skin cells

Waxing is a great way to improve the look of your skin. It removes unwanted hairs, fuzz, and other dead skin cells. This leaves your skin smooth and supple.

However, waxing Long Island NY does have its downsides. In addition to removing hair, it also weakens the follicle, which can result in bumps, infections, and ingrown hairs.

Before waxing, you’ll want to exfoliate your skin. A gentle exfoliation will clear out dead skin cells and allow the wax to adhere to your hair more effectively.

There are a variety of scrubs and loofahs available at beauty salons and spas. They can be used for the whole body or a targeted area. Try a dry skin brush for some added exfoliation.

Waxing is a fast and effective means of achieving that silky-smooth look. However, it can also leave your skin feeling dry and irritated. The best way to avoid this is to make sure you moisturize afterward.

It lasts longer than shaving.

Waxing is a great way to get smooth skin. It also saves time and money in the long run. And you can do it in the privacy of your own home.

The best thing about waxing is that you can be hair-free for several weeks. It is an excellent choice for people who are busy or prone to ingrown hairs.

While shaving may seem like a better option, it does have its disadvantages. For instance, shaving causes ingrown hairs, bumps, and nicks. Also, the blades used in shaving can cut your skin and cause infections.

On the other hand, waxing is less likely to cause irritation and scars. However, getting the desired results may take more than a single session.

When it comes to the most effective hair removal method, it takes a lot of work to beat waxing. This is because it removes hair from the root, an essential part of the hair growth cycle.

It can change the texture of the hair when it grows back.

When hair grows back after waxing, the hair may look sparser or even change the texture. This is because hair follicles have a blood supply, and waxing weakens the connection between the hair follicles and the blood supply. As a result, the hair follicles don’t have the same nutrients to make hair grow, so they don’t develop the thick, shiny, or strong hair they are accustomed to.

Hair texture can also be affected by temperature, color, medications, and genetics. For example, people with darker skin or hair may experience a thinning of the scalp. Similarly, people who shave more often can experience a decrease in hair growth. If you’re experiencing these changes in your hair, options are available to help restore it.
