here I am, at last....

I can't believe I am actually doing this, joining the wide, wide world of blogging. I never thought I'd want to. But then I realized that I don't have to do it traditional-style, posting my day-to-day activities. I can just use this as a forum to realize the many magazine articles I've written in my head, endorse my favorite products, or share lyrics or poems I've created. Or just to therapeutically empty my head once in a while. We all need to do that, don't we?
My blog title originated from my desire to wax poetic on everything under the sun, as well as from the name of a well-known (at least in my circles!) home hair removal method, the "Poetic Waxing Kit". Some of you may be aware that I am a licensed esthetician, which means I gleefully enjoy poking and prodding people's faces. It also means I know how to give facials, wax off unwanted hair, and qualifies me to give lots of skin care advice, which I plan to do in future posts. Enjoy!
