You know you love your friend when...

Friendship is always tested. In fact any relationship whether it is love, work based or social, a time comes when you question the very fabric of its being. And so it happened to me the other day. My dearest friend... lets call her Miss R and I were chilling. And I, being the ever so bold person upon looking in the mirror decided I needed my eyebrows reshaped. Looking at my friends perfectly groomed brows I assumed that she would be best to shape mine.

So I asked.


And so she said yes.


So I sat down confidently in the chair.


And so she begins.


Eyebrow one, finished in no time and looks good, so she moves over to eyebrow two (lest I mention she was using an electric eyebrow razor shaper). As she finishes I notice a perplexing look on her face as she hands me the mirror, which I mistaken for a look of confidence at the completed job....


That is until I looked in the mirror, and noticed that a chunk of hair had accidently been shaven off. We looked at one another and I laughed (for fear of crying) as we frantically and humorously searched for solutions. Now for those who are unaware eyebrows are an extremely important facial feature that helps significantly in defining ones face. Therefore, any unfortunate mishaps can have a serious impact on the face. It is true to say it could have been worse... but that only gives me a little bit of comfort.


So you know you love your friend when your eyebrow gets shaven off and you end up loving her even more.
