Better than Botox

Whether it’s the cosmetics or entertainment industry, the image of the unlined face is the current beauty norm for women (and some men).

All you need is a pointy needle coming towards your face, filled with a botulism toxin, able to paralyze your facial muscles (and take down a wild rhino). A couple of jabs here and there, a few drops of blood and you’re done.

Presto! No wrinkles.

It’s a scary thought that people would go though that to appear younger. It’s something that can make you confused and want to furrow your brow. But, you can’t, since your facial muscles are immobilized.

Recently, I found a better way to achieve the same result.

For free.

Yes, free.

It’s fabulous!

It’s fantastic!

It’s frostbite!

That’s right, frostbite.

With Canadian winters being cold, there is always a chance of being stuck outside during a windy day. Windchill can alter the temperature by 10 degrees (or more), making a trip to hell feel like welcome respite to the bitter cold.

But, you still have to go out, go to work, run errands, and lock your kids out of your house. When that happens, the wind takes a hold of your skin, freezes it, removes any traces of moisture, and pulls it back a few centimetes.

It’s a whole new you.

For free!

Unfortunately, the numbing side-effect can be detrimental, especially when you can lose a limb.

By the way, you didn’t really that finger, did you?

Six: Yeah, it sucks to live in Florida.

Tornwordo: Spring in Canada only means one of two things - rain (cold temps) or snow (colder temps).

WTB: Some people who have repeated Botox injections have actually numbed their brains.

It works! I even have the white dead tissue scars on the tops of my ears from living in banff to prove it!
