Air Heads :)



Have you ever done an ear candle before?  I highly recommend it!  

Basically, it looks like a candle stick - but hollow.  You stick it through a paper plate so as to not drip any excess wax on your face (ouch!)  Then stick the narrow end in your ear canal and light the other end on fire.  Have someone else watch around your ear to make sure no smoke is coming out - if there is readjust until it stops.  The heat produced by the fire acts as a suction mechanism to pull out excess wax from your ears.  

I decided not to post a picture of our results but if you have the stomach for it here is what the end result looks like!
Afterwards it feels like air is passing straight through your head!
Nathan was bored during my turn, so he tried on my glasses and couldn't get over how blind I am.
