    Welcome back to another vlog! This week isn’t very long as I’m just readjusting to my routine ( I swear whenever I go out of town & return I feel like I can’t catch my bearings). Either way just some city days, getting laser hair removal.
    PS, I AM NOW VACCINATED.

    I go to the Laser Away on Upper Eastside and the results have been great so far. It really is not as “painless” as they say. I’d advise you to ask for an ice pack when you see the nurse for your session, that’s how I’ve made it to session 4 and not given up, lol. Ice the area for a little and that really helps before she does the treatment.
