Question of the Day

Disposable panties...

When getting a bikini wax, do you modestly ask for paper panties or are you more, ahem, free?

Why or why not?

Quick Fix Thursday

Are you tired of discolored skin, razor burns, ingrown hairs and itchy skin after shaving your bikini area? Can you not afford laser hair removal? Have you thrown down the razor and decided to just trim to keep your girlie part neat? Well, listen up. Get a bikini wax.

I know. You've seen The 40-Year-Old Virgin and warded off waxing years ago, but honestly, it's not that bad or at least it doesn't have to be. 

What You Need To Know:

Thirty to 45 minutes to waxing, apply a numbing cream to the skin like No Scream Cream, or take an aspirin or ibuprofen. This is especially helpful when getting waxed in such a sensitive area.

Hope this helps.

5 Beauty Myths Debunked!

Myth 1: You can shrink facial pores

No, you can not! Though pores can appear larger if they’re clogged with dirt, oil and bacteria, they never really grow or shrink. Retinol and alpha hydroxy products can make them appear smaller. Try using a pore minimizer that contains salicylic acid and alpha lipoic acid. These ingredients gently exfoliate and tighten the skin while removing dirt and oil.

Myth 2: You can get rid of cellulite.

Ladies, save your money. It doesn't matter whether you're curvy or skinny. THERE IS NO WAY TO ELIMINATE CELLULITE ―not even liposuction! Cellulite is fat deposits that are trapped between the fibrous bands that connect the skin's tissues. These bands squeeze the fat under the skin, resulting in that orange peel texture. You can temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite with firming creams that contain caffeine to tighten and smooth the skin, a basic moisturizer will also work to hydrate and swell the skin, making cellulite a little less obvious. Also, darker skin camouflages cellulite so try using a self-tanner.

Style Your Lady Parts

Okay, ladies. I don't know if you ever thought about it, but you can actually have your bikini area styled. That's right. I said that you can style your bikini area, and on top of that, you can style it in many different ways. And why not? Why can't you have a little fun with your lady parts?

Okay, so if you've never had a bikini wax, I must say that you're missing out. Yes. It hurts. But it's so worth it. First of all, once it's done, you don't have to worry about hair down there for at least 2-3 weeks. Imagine that. No hair...down there...for weeks! No shaving. No worry. No problem.

But have you ever thought about spicing it up?

To ensure that your pores are closed and your skin won't become irritated.
