say what?

Have any of you ever tried ear candling? Well, if you haven't, you should. It's a great way to get all the gunk out of your ears. This weekend whilst at Last Hour, Ashley, Christy, & I decided to do the ear candles. So I make the trek to the nearest health food store & made the purchase. Before we started, we tried to make bets on who would have the most earwax after the ordeal was over. (BTW, you can see your earwax inside the candles when you're finished.) The first time I did this, with Amy Newsom, I had an AMAZING amount of wax in the candle when we were finished. You would be shocked. So of course I stated that I would have the most wax. And Ashley & Christy thought the same thing about themselves. Once we got started we realized that it would take longer than we thought, and Christy didn't have time to candle her ears with me & Ashley. So I don't have a picture of her wax, but she definitely won by a landslide. Here are the pics...


(I know...I look possessed.)
...and here are our mounds of earwax.

  1. Ha! Looking at the nice red couch in the condo reminds me that we almost caught it on FIRE! My parents were so interested in this idea that they are doing it right this moment. I tried to talk them into taking pictures... we'll see! Happy New Year!

    But all I have to say is... EWWW!!! I want to do that at least once and get my ears cleaned out, but that's just disgusting?!?!

  7. Wow...I heard about it, and now I've seen it...oh my.

    The wax sort of looks like crumbled cookies or brown sugar...it will be a while before I eat either of those..
