Homemade Wax Cubes 2008-06-03 21:43:37 Why spend $10 for a 14 oz. container of wax that (at most) will wax your legs two to three times? There’s a simple homemade recipe that can produce gallons of wax at the same cost.
This recipe can be found on hundreds of places online, but only here on TinkerBot will you find an accompanying [...]
General Tips for Waxing 2008-06-02 21:46:31 Since I’ve been keeping the focus of the blog on waxing for these past few days (and will continue to for another few) I figured it’d be a good idea to post some general tips for waxing.
Waxing is a popular alternative to shaving that removes the hair by the roots. Hair typically does not [...] Read more:General
An In-Depth Look at Duct Tape Waxing 2008-06-01 23:03:33 So I was finally able to test out waxing my legs with duct tape. If you’re just tuning in at this point, I ran a little experiment on 5 brands of all-purpose duct tape (steering clear of utility/aircraft grade tape to avoid ripping skin off) to determine the stickiest brand which I would use in [...] Read more:Depth

An Ode to Customer Service: Cache Beauty 2008-05-31 20:30:40 I went ahead and bought the La Grande Melting Pot (wax warmer) from CacheBeauty
on Amazon for my wax vs. duct tape leg waxing experiment. Being the dork I am, I was looking forward to plugging it in and FINALLY being able to wax my legs without nearly burning myself. Unfortunately, once I [...] Read more:Customer

One Day Delay… 2008-05-30 13:00:43 Sorry I wasn’t able to finish and post the blog about tape waxing today. I had a really busy day yesterday and my body just isn’t accustomed to that much activity since I’ve been sick for so long (I had mono for about 8 months). To say in the least I was a [...] Read more:Delay

Energy Drinks - An Increasingly Unhealthy Habit 2008-05-30 12:20:48 Although this blog is fairly new, I have to admit I never imagined myself writing something preachy. I’m not one to talk when it comes to unhealthy habits, I’ll be the first to admit that. Although I’m a skinny-mini, once in a blue moon I’ve been known to down entire boxes of doughnuts [...] Read more:Energy

A Sticky Situation: Part 2 2008-05-29 22:48:41 For those of you who are absolutely clueless as to what’s going on, I’m testing the stickiness of different brands of duct tape. Why? To determine which brand I’m going to use when testing out the ever-popular (yet admittedly stupid) method of leg waxing using duct tape.
I covered the details of the experiment [...]
A Sticky Situation: Part 1 2008-05-28 01:54:43 My first large-scale series of experiments for TinkerBot are aimed towards finding the best (and cheapest) method of leg waxing. Most women (and some guys… including my queer boyfriend) know what a pain in the ass it is to shave their legs, but few realize the cost. Between my mother and I, we [...]
She’s A Comin’! 2008-05-27 02:30:49 Just letting you all know that there will be a blog coming up very, very soon. Sorry about the wait on this one, but it’s definitely worth it! Trust me, it’s pretty big. At least by my standards, but that’s not really saying much. Read more:Comin
Behold, TinkerBot! 2008-05-22 01:37:12 TinkerBot as it stands at the moment is nothing more than an idea still stuck in my head. Regardless, I’m going to do my best to explain what it is (or rather, what I’d like it to be) now that I’ve gone ahead and had a full night’s sleep after putting this thing together [...] Read more:Behold
Heating Things Up: La Grande Melting Pot, a Wax Warmer 2008-06-05 20:48:41 So as you all probably know from my CacheBeauty Amazon saga I finally recieved my (working) La Grande
wax warmer! I was looking for a warmer that was affordable, yet had the capability of heating...

An Ode to Customer Service: CacheBeauty (Revisited) 2008-06-04 23:11:34 In a previous blog entry, I told the unfortunate tale of the wax warmer that I bought off of Amazon from CacheBeauty. When I got it in the mail, it was broken and I called their toll-free number. ...

A Healthier Alternative to Energy Drinks 2008-06-07 23:28:40 I wrote an earlier blog about the health risks involved with consuming energy drinks, and since then I’ve discovered a healthy (and tasty) alternative. It’s called Cranergy and it offers...
