The case of the missing tweezers
On Monday I responded to a few search phrases that have brought people to this site, and somewhere in there I mentioned that Project: Grow Back Eyebrows wasn’t going so well.
On Tuesday I lost the pair of tweezers that I keep in my makeup case, and I have no idea where they could possibly be. I use them almost daily, and they have lived in my makeup case for years. Now they’ve completely disappeared.
On Wednesday I took the tweezers from the bathroom medicine cabinet, the only other tweezers I own, and put them in my makeup case.
On Thursday I discovered that those tweezers were missing, too. And again, I have no blasted idea where they might have gone. They just vanished.
Either my makeup bag has developed an appetite for shiny metal and has taken to eating my tweezers for lunch, or Brad has been stealing them in an effort to help me quit plucking. Or maybe the world is just trying to tell me something.

I hate it when the blasted tweezers go missing. I, too, had a pair of tweezers that lived in my make-up case and they came up missing. They were my FAVORITE pair. They had just the right angle and they weren’t too fat and I wasn’t always pinching myself with them either. (Because that really hurts and makes your eyes water.) Well, I found them. Apparently they had wondered off to another part of the house. *hmmm* I put them back into my make-up case and they came missing AGAIN two days later. Now, I’m stuck with these crappy tweezers that I bought that looked identical to my favorite pair. They suck! They tweezing pieces are too fat and I’m constantly pinching myself with them. I hate it.
Anyway, now that I’ve whined my heart out about the missing tweezers…. If Brad stole them in an attempt to help you, I think it’s so sweet. Go Brad! Otherwise, maybe you have a really weird stalker breaking into your bathroom…but how can that be?

I lose my shit whenever my tweezers go missing. I only have one pair, a pair I’ve had for YEARS, so their absence disturbs me greatly. I’m so much better about the obsessive plucking (as you know), but I just like to know where the tweezers are at all times. Just in case there’s an errant hair I have to deal with.
But if indeed this is the doing of Brad, that’s just cruel.

I’m so glad to hear that other people have a favorite pair of tweezers they’ve kept around for years. I didn’t go into detail, but the first missing pair were the best tweezers I’ve ever owned. I don’t know what it was, but they were perfect. I feel their absence deeply.
