Officially a lash ninja

My life's had its share of #funnystory, but this one really blew me off. I don't know whether its the cold, or the features in the lifestyle magazines, but I have really started getting into scented candles. It became part of my bedtime routine:  light candle, apply toner-moisturizer, read a bit and then hit the pillow. Now no matter how good a candle is, one day it is going to be at the end of its burn time. And when that happens you don't want to be picking it up in your hand to blow it out. Because sometimes, just sometimes, the bloody wick decides to go out with a bang and flames out like a phoneix and BURNS THE EYELASHES off your left eye. At first I couldn't figure out what happened. My retina was burning and there was a weird smell which was actually the smell of burnt eyelashes. Anyways I rushed into the bathroom, put my face right in front of the portable shower head and blasted off the cold water. Ten minutes later, the burning became a sting and I turned off the water, looked into the mirror and thought hmm not bad. Superficially I had a scar but Sudocream fixed that and the eyesight was still functioning. It was only the next morning when I was about to put on my mascara that I realized  I had no freaking eyelashes on one eye. I have teeny tiny eyelashes but I mean its still better than a bald eye right?  And now I am officially a lash ninja, like this guy.
