I am literally in the process of making 'sugaring' paste. If you don't already know, sugaring is a natural form of hair removal, similar to waxing. This is my first time making the paste and I am using a recipe from a youtube user (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7v-p8pW07iE). It basically consists of sugar, lemon juice, and water, heated over the stove into a paste/goo, with constant stirring. I'm a little concerned about the heat of the stovee.. and am not exactly sure what heat I should be using at what times and etc. to get the proper effect. I kinda just know what it's 'supposed' to look like. Maybe I should have done more research x3.
Well I kinda know that when people make caramel it involves heating sugar and has to be really hot.. the goo for sugaring (in the video) looks kind of like that, the color, so maybe I should put it up high. I'm also wondering if I should cover it or not.
Oh also.. we actually ended up not having lemon juice! So I literally had to fist squeeze some lemons into a cup >.> Kind of tedious but maybe it'll be better with fresh lemon juice.

Ok so I did cover it for a bit and that might have been a mistake cuz it got all bubbly and was hard to bring down.. It doesnt look amber gooey yet.

kept it on low heat and finally got that ambery color! but covered it a bit again so it got a little foamy.
