STUCKEY'S GOT IT GOING ON......

ok so as usual i was watching a pistons game; and yes girly girls do watch basketball my home is pistons country, anywho i got this brilliant idea after seeing rodney (50 cent look-a-like) stuckey shooting a pair at the line, that's basketball lingo for free throws. his unders were very well man-a-cured.

that's it a brazilian wax for your pits. stuckey had this landing strip kinda thing going on. as a waxologist i was very fascinated with his well groomed pits. nothing makes a girl toss her cookies faster than a full on pit-bush at the free throw line.

hey nba, since you are in the mood to shake things up and add penalties,fines,fewer technicals and the like please keep the fans in mind and implement a under-pit grooming rule. thanks stuckey for starting this new trend. rock on rodney ms. esthy loves you.

JUNK WAXING......

ok so i have been performing the male brazilian bikini wax for quite sometime now and when ever share what i do for a living i get the deer caught in head lights look. and then of course the judgement call that "they must be gay right" as if straight men can't tidy up their junk.

my motto is "what you do with your brazilian is you business" i never inquire of the adventures of one's bikini line, although it might make for awesome blog posts. i have a very strict i won't ask and don't you dare tell policy.

i like to think of myself as a body wax artist. i create master pieces with your bikini line. to me it is more than just snatching out hair. one of these days diddy will be my man victim, and when it is all said and done. i might just blog about it.

THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS......

On the contrary this is not a dungeon of torture, but rather a very nice destination to be waxed. How cute, quaint and clean. You won't hear the hiss of hair dryers here , because we are a body spa, and the only hair that is welcome will be removed in three, two, one... Ripped off

Consider this your invitation to experience Ms. Esthetician.

RETAIL IS NOT REAL

The "REAL BEAUTY INDUSTRY" is found in a salon or spa near you, not in the isles of department or drug store isles. I aimlessly wandered around my local department store last night, just observing how sales associates were selling their counters line. As a professional I find this a tad bit disturbing.

Granted everyone has the right to be gainfully employed, but be mindful of underlying intentions. Find a source that you trust and cross check your references with them before making purchases. Remember the whole world is a hustle, just make sure you are not hustled.

KISSABLE LIPS

"trumpuda" i met a lady once that used to call me that. being that my spanish was some what broken i was like why on earth is she calling me trumpet mouth. she said it was a complement, that i had a perfect pout. you see i had the angelina long before she bought hers, and her compliment of my pout being perfect, went in one ear and right out of the other.

until that day when my husband and i went on our first date and he was staring at my mouth and i started to get all weirded out like this guy is really strange until he told me that i had the most amazing pout he'd ever seen. ah the pout again, "it's all coming back to me now."


to some it comes naturally, and others pay a little something something for theirs, but who cares how ya get kissable lips. just pucker up and ¡¡MUAH!! to you too.

so cover girl has this amazing lip gloss wet slicks crystals. it is a must grab. i have several colors but my fav is the candy bon bon, because it goes quite well with the chocolate. the chocolate being my complexion. every time if put it on i get complements even my three year old says she likes my lip gloss.

MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE

A girl can't tell repeat her self enough. moisturizing is as important as the air we breathe. our skin needs moisture. grab that bottle of lotion and slather it on. your skin will thank you.

side bar- proper moisturizing also helps to keep your sexy, sexy. the proverb "black don't crack" is true, because out of fear of being labeled as ashy we have been trained to lotion our skin from the time we are toddler, and the pay off is a 80 year old looking 50ish.

8 STEPS TO THE PERFECT SHAVE

1. CLEANSE YOUR CANVAS
After a good old fashioned hand washing; start thoroughly cleansing your face and neck with tepid water and a cleanser specifically for your skin type (ex. hydrating cleanser for dry skin). In my opinion you should not use bar soaps, because they have a tendency to strip your skin of its essential oils. Cleansing is the first step in any good skin care routine. Steaming or shaving before you cleanse your face is never an option, you can trap dirty harmful little microorganisms in your freshly opened pores, and this can lead to breakouts. "I am well aware of the fact that i am challenging a tradition as old as the hills, but they (the hills) are wrong the first step in shaving is cleansing the skin this is esthetics 101". You are now ready for step two.

2. STEAM YOUR FACE
You can do this by using a hot towel or while taking a hot shower. When you shower make sure the water is hot enough to cause vapor in the bathroom and on the mirror. Steaming the face causes the pores to open up releasing what lies beneath, a whisker or two. With your whiskers now in position you can move on to step three.


3. USE A PRE-SHAVE OIL
Pre-shave oil helps to lubricate your skin and it prevents nicking, cutting, and irritation. When choosing an oil make sure that is non-comedogenic (doesn't block pores). A dime-sized amount in the palm of your hand is all that is needed, dime sized not enough, silver dollar sized amount should do the trick on a slightly larger face. You will want to massage it thoroughly into your beard, this helps to soften your whiskers and it also keeps the razor gliding across your skin, remember we love it when a razor glides. Please don't overly concern your self with the fact that your face now has a sudden semi-gloss, you are now ready for step four.

4. SHAVING CREAM
Using a wet badger brush whip your shaving cream into a lather. Brushing encourages the hairs on your face to stand at attention, and that is what we want. Spread the whipped shaving cream using your badger brush over your well oiled face. F.Y.I. I do not like it when you use super foamy things like canned shaving creams and soaps, they make it nearly impossible for the razor to get close enough to your skin. I prefer it when you use the good stuff, a shaving cream that produces just enough lather for your razor and skin to get up close and p-e-r-s-o-n-a-l, you can proceed to step five.

5. THE TRIAL RUN
Your razor should always without exception or hesitation be used in the direction that your hair grows. This is called shaving with the grain. Shaving in this direction helps prevent ingrown hairs by lifting the whiskers from your pores. You can start shaving at the sideburn of your choice and work your way downward paying careful attention to the direction in which your hair grows. Be sure to save your neck for last, this gives the shaving cream and oil a little extra time to soften the cuticle of the whiskers on your neck, since the skin on your neck is thinner than the skin on your face. Make sure you always use long even strokes, shaving with the grain,and be sure to rinse your razor blade often. Proceed to step six.

6. THE SECOND TIME AROUND

repeat steps four and five. Proceed to step seven


7. RINSE CYCLE
After you have finished shaving, you want wash away any left over shave oil or cream, and close your pores, you can do this by repeatedly splashing your face with cold water. Then you want to pat dry (not wipe) your face using a towel. Remember you wipe your nose, and pat dry your face. Proceed to step eight

8. AFTER-SHAVE CARE
Now it is time to show your skin some love after you just traumatized (shaving is skin trauma) it by using a soothing balm, after shave moisturizer, or a toner depending on your skin type, and lightly pat on the product until it is absorbed into your skin. Finish by properly cleaning and storing your shaving utensils. You are now ready to proceed to your nearest talent agency, with a shave this close you are bound to be cast as the next Gillette model.
