So let's get this out there - men wax too! All parts of their body, and for all different reasons...and it’s not weird.

And there are so many reasons that men seek out hair removal.

Read moreRed Flags of Beauty Appointments: what to look out for the next time you book in to feel more beautiful
There is absolutely nothing worse in the world than showing up to a beauty appointment, or anything that is considered ” self-care” and leaving feeling worse about yourself than when you walked in...And listen, we’ve all been there…traumatized by a hair/nail/skin appointment that failed to meet the need we were seeking to fulfill. Yes, we are looking to improve our appearance, but we are also wanting to feel more confident within ourselves.
Read moreA Full Breakdown of everything wrong with the Wax Scene from the 40-Year-Old-Virgin
The infamous scene, which Steve Carell wrote himself, depicts him (the virgin) and a few of his buddies booking a full chest and stomach wax to help get his groove back. And well, it’s a difficult watch, especially knowing that the scene was entirely real. Carell admitted in a post-taping interview that it was his actual hair being ripped off his body, leaving him bloody and bruised the days following the scene. He even said that one of his co-stars actually could not stay in the same room because seeing it in person was too gnarly…

Through examining the daily habits like drinking enough water and getting enough beauty sleep will allow you to optimize your own beauty and become the best version of yourself. Having a 10 step skincare routine without a good exercise routine is like having salt without pepper, like a fork without the spoon. It just doesn’t work.
Read moreSecrets of beauty Sleep - how good quality sleep will make your skin glow
With heightened interest in anti-aging and skin health, we have become more committed than ever to taking care of our skin. We get facials, treatments and injections…we do face masks while we are watching TV. However, it takes more than just time and money - having beautiful skin is a lifestyle commitment. What if I told you that just two days of sleep deprivation can negatively affect your perceived health and attractiveness, sleepiness, and even trustworthiness, according to a 2017 study? (The Royal Society, 2017) I mean I know that I don’t feel great when I choose Netflix over my slumber, but now you’re telling me it could be making me look more unsightly? Furthermore, if we sleep 8 hours on average per night, that totals to 1/3 of our entire lifespan! Getting good quality sleep is an integral part of any skincare routine and begins with good sleep hygiene so that we can all wake up refreshed and glowing!

So now we are sugaring our bodies, engaging in the removal of all the hair below our eyebrows. We are ripping the hair right out of our vaginas and going on our merry way.

Read morePlump me up - Why drinking water is crucial for your skincare routine
Most of my life, I have been what I refer to as…a dehydrated sufferer. I have chronically dealt with dehydration and done absolutely nothing about it. Drinking water is too basic for me. It’s monotonous, I have to pee, and it’s one of those annoying daily habits that just never stuck. I have been in a cycle of over-caffeinating, under-watering - then crashing, unable to concentrate because I end up opting for another coffee instead of doing the thing my body is screaming for - drinking WATER! And then I have anxiety and wonder why! Does this sound familiar?
Read moreYour First Brazilian Sugar Wax - From Start to Finish
If you are considering or feeling apprehensive about getting a brazilian wax, this article is for you! This was inspired by a very sweet client of mine who shared with me that she psyched herself out of coming in for over a year and a half! During that time, she made two appointments and canceled them both because she just didn’t know what to expect. The unknown can be a freaky thing. So here is how it goes down, from start to finish.
Read moreRoll, Roll, Roll...Your Face?
We have all been there- ate chips and guac, tacos…had a few too many margaritas, and finished it off with a cheesecake dripping in blueberry sauce. I don’t know about you but last taco Tuesday, I woke up looking like the puffer fish in finding Nemo - not a cute look. Even after washing my face and applying my skincare, I did not look anything like myself. Bloated and puffy, my dark under eyes broadcasted the story of the night before. I have so many tools and skincare that promise to make me look chiseled like Angelina Jolie… and I have been down the rabbit hole quite a few times. Instagram even targets ads at me specifically for bloating, that’s when you know you really have a problem! So I have a routine to restore me to sanity.
Read moreSorry, Not Sorry
As a brazilian sugaring specialist, I hear a lot of apologies. “I’m so sorry, my hair is so long” or “I’m so sorry I just had a baby” or “I’m so sorry I haven’t been in a while, it’s a jungle down there…” Different variations of the same apology since the very first day I started working in the beauty industry. And once I observed it in the room with my clients, I began to notice it everywhere else.
Read moreA Complete Guide to Exfoliation after Sugaring
So you decided to start sugaring! Congratulations, you did it! Your skin is smooth and slippery. Now you are engaged in a process. Remember - the goal here is smooth beautiful glowing skin, and the skin is an organ that needs to be looked after. Sugaring is a process, not a one-time event.

One of the best ways that we can take care of our skin is to exfoliate!
