No!No!

Okay, another experiment, chicks.

Yes! Yes!
Recently, I purchased this No!No!. Have you ever heard of it? Nooooo... Well, I'm here to tell ya. It's supposed to be the best thing since nose jobs. I kid you not. Now, since we alllll know I'm an old lady with lip and chin hairs and have tried the electrolysis bit—and let me tell you right here that to get a treatment from Daisy Lee (which is what we'll call his lady) wasn't so much a treatment but an experience!

Once when daughter was visiting I asked her if she'd go with me to Daisy Lee's for the treatment. She agreed and since she was in the room and my daughter and Daisy Lee both love cats they got carried away with the conversation and nearly bar-b-qued my chin and lips! I am not joking. Daughter could tell I was in distress, which is a polite phrase for a near panic attack with my eyes bugged out. She quickly shut up and Daisy Lee looked at me and said, "Ooooops." I gave that up posthaste. Then since I'm so fair the laser treatments won't work. They're designed for dark hair and if mine isn't light it's gray—face, not head hair, which looks frosted because of so much gray. ;-)

So, lo and behold, I hear about this latest technology called thermicon, which burns the hair. Yessssss, it burns it but it truly doesn't hurt. I only smell like a singed cat for a day or so. Well worth it.

Join me in unwrapping the box.

You knew I'd pick the pink over the black one, right?

Cord and bag to keep it in.

Yes, you must buff the singed hair off.

The super duper blades. They don't call them "Hot Blades" for nothing. Oh, and pictures will follow later. Sigh...

After the self-treatment on my face, I had to go do something in the craft room to forget the experience for a while. ;-) I'll do the legs tomorrow. Can you guess what this is being froufrou-ed up?

Okay, here is the leg right after "shaving" a week earlier. Please remember the age of these legs and also that it is very drying to have them zapped and then using a buffer on them, but I wanted to show you that it takes the hair off wonderfully. And truly there was absolutely no pain in doing it. Just once in a while I'd feel a very quick "burn".

If YOU photographed your legs up this close they probably wouldn't look much better! ;-) So I'm giving it a high rating and recommending it if you want less hair and finer hair at a fraction of the cost of laser treatments.

See what I go through to show you gals so that you won't have to waste money if something doesn't work. :-)

  2. You are very sweet to be the NoNo GuinneaPig for all the rest of us who also have the HairyLipChin Syndrome. I've never tried Electrolly...NoNo Thanks! I might be willing to try your latest...on second thought...sorry...NoNo...I guess I'll stick to the Goddess Venus Shaver...I think I'd rather have RazorBurn! But, YouGoGirl!

  5. Ouch,does it truly not hurt! If I smell burning hair I run for the shower-lol. Not sure if it would work on me as you can barely see the red hair on my legs.
    Now that pink polka dot material will keep me up for days, wondering what you are making with it. I covered my computer chair with my pink polka dot material and love the new look. Sitting waiting anxiously for the project. Your leg looks like it never had hair on it. Hope they didn't burn you too much. Love and hugs, Pat

  7. Connie, that's one thing they don't tell you when your young... when you get older you grow hair in strange places! I'll have to check this out, can't wait for your follow up. Kathy

  8. You are so funny and your leg looks great! When I put my "reading glasses" on, I see all kinds of spots and blemished on my legs, that I can't see otherwise. If you can find us a good product for age spots and freckles, let me know!

    Your leg looks lovely, but then my eyes aren't that great anymore, he he, just kidding....that is amazing.
    I will have to see if I can find one of those babies!

  19. Hi Connie,
    I've never heard of the NoNo. It's good to know it works and not like the "Ooops" treatment you got from Daisy (so sorry to hear about that!). I can't tell what's getting dolled up there, looks like a printer perhaps?
    About my birdhouse/beach house ~ I've had it about 6 years & got it in town here (the store's long out of business) but I bet you could find one if you Googled it.
    Happy Week! xo~Tracie

  23. HUm, I don't know if I am brave enough to try that. It sounds like it would hurt, hopefully not.

    I saw where you commented on Ceekay's post about adding the "page" under your header with all of your different gadgets there. I have read that a dozen times and I don't get it. Can you do a tutorial? I would love to get some of the stuff off of my sidebar. Thanks. Hugs, Marty

  25. NoNo!
    I do not want hair on my chin!
    I do not want hair on my legs!
    I do not want hair on my arms!
    Thank you fro telling us about this product!
    the things that get invented these days-genius!
    My husband is allergic to cats--do you think he'd be allergic to me, if I smelled like a singed one?
    (Thanks for the smile! I needed that)!
    XOXOXO, sugar!
