And what do you skip altogether? ;)

Things I do myself-

Hair masks
Body scrubs
Manis, lately - I just keep them short, neat and bare. I used to go for weekly pro manis but it's hard to make the time every week.
All hair removal except eyebrows (bikini line, etc.)

Things I have done professionally-

Pedis (every 3 weeks when it's not sandal season - every 2 weeks in summer.)
Brows - I get them threaded. It hurts me so much more when I try to pluck each hair myself, threading is faster and less painful for me.
Haircuts - not talented enough to do this myself lol!

Things I skip-

Tanning - I like being pale.
Hair color - I'm OK with my natural color and I'm too young to have grey hair.
Facials - my skin is clear naturally, and it gets angry at me when I try to mess with it.

Great thread!

Things I do myself:
mani occasionally (depends)
pedi occasionally (also depends. I run and skate a lot and my feet get so thrashed it almost is not worth spending a lot on a pedi
facials (monthly)

What I get done:
hair cut and highlights
bikini wax
french mani
pedi (not as often, but a few x's a year)
eyebrow wax & tint
facial/steaming twice a year

What I avoid:
tanning - I love my porcelain skin...are you kidding me I'm of scottish heritage so I'm pasty white year 'round, LOL!
 
#14
What I do:
Facials (not as often as I would like, tho)
Root touch-ups
Eye-brow & under-arm tweezing, & all other hair removal
Mani's and Pedi's
- never enjoyed having mani's & pedi's done professionally; sometimes they cut too much of the skin on the side of my nails, I hate that!

What I get done:
All-over colour at the salon
- have been going to my hairdresser for 15+ yrs now! I hope she never retires! I'd be lost!

What I don't do:
Purposely tan
- I used to just sit and bake, but not any more. I'll tan while I'm biking, and that's most of the summer; I'll have a nice glow. I'm appreciating my fare skin now bec when I travelled to Manila I was stared at so much in the malls, they thought I was a celebrity or something. (I'm not Filipino; just Chinese/English/Norwegian)
 
#15
What I do:

-Manicure (I actually enjoy doing it. I also give it to my friends!)
-Facial scrubs/masks

What I get done:

-Hair coloring (I have some grays and get bored way too easily with the same hair color for a couple of months)
-Haircuts
-Pedicures (I'm great at manis but can't handle feet for some reason). I don't even get pedis often. Just during sandal season.


What I won't do:

-Any kind of tanning. I like my fair skintone!! It's what I most get compliments for.
