Kim Kardashian bothers me. And now, after watching the mom-to-be submit herself to a very painful, very gross blood facial, I can say my dislike is turning into something more…
Every time my kids tell me something about the reality star, I get really upset. I don't understand how someone could become so famous just by the mere act of being scandalous. But last night took the cake, when my little one started calling me at the top of his lungs, screaming that vampires were real and they had attacked Kim. Well, as we all know by now, the cutting edge treatment she had undergone was a facial performed with her own blood!
Again, I have to ask, why do we women subject ourselves to all these crazy beauty treatments?! But Kim K.'s is hardly the zaniest. Read on to find out about some truly insane treatments out there!

I have to come clean though, I can't cast the first stone. In my battle against cellulite and now wrinkles, I've had liposuction, mesotherapy, filler injections on my face, and I've even tried Botox. All of them hurt tons and I don't plan on getting repeat treatments anytime soon. I can withstand the pain of high heels to look taller, Spanx to look skinnier and have my clothes look better, and sometimes I go hungry in order to keep to a diet. But I would have never EVER thought of re-injecting my own blood into my face. Ugh!
However, some people put some worst things on their faces … Take alook below and see if you too end up horrified like I did at all these insane beauty treatments!
Bird poop facial mask
I'm sorry, but any woman who thinks that bird feces has any sort of rejuvenating ingredient probably deserves to have poop smeared on her face. This Geisha treatment promises younger looking skin if you're willing to put up with the main ingredient. Yuck!
Fish pedicure
This fish pedicure is very popular in Asia. In fact, Carlos Ponce did it during his vacation in Thailand this past December, as he showed in his Instagram feed. Supposedly the little fish eat all the dry skin and nastiness from your feet. I wouldn't dare. Besides the risk of infections, what if they bite you hard?
Blood facial
This was the treatment Kim K. had done. They took her own blood, treated it to separate the platelets, and reinjected this into her face. Ugh! It's supposed to make your skin flawless, but Kim herself admitted it hurt like crazy.
Twisted teeth
This Japanese treatment is thankfully not permanent: You have to put on a prosthetic that will make your teeth look crooked. Apparently, women with crooked teeth are considered more beautiful because they're less intimidating. Who knew! I could have saved tons on dental treatments!
Diet through the nose
To lose weight fast, some women subjected themselves to this gross treatment where they only consumed 800 calories through their NOSES! Honestly I can't believe anyone would do something so dangerous in their fight to shed the pounds.
Saline head
Another doozy out of Japan, this inexplicable treatment has women (and men!) injecting saline into their foreheads and creating an indentation in the center so that it looks like a bagel. Not sure what this is all about, but thankfully it fades after a few days. Honestly, who thinks of these things?
