The Brazilian Wax Exposed

The Brazilian wax is gaining widespread popularity in the Puritan founded culture of the USA. Believe it or not, ladies of all ages are going hair-free. And like anything else, not all estheticians are good at delivering a great Brazilian. Let’s face it, just because you can wax an eyebrow, doesn’t mean you have any business waxing my business.

Finding the Perfect Bikini with Agustina, owner of Nina Swimwear

I am a self-proclained bikini-aholic. I have more swimsuits that I know what to do with. And honestly, it’s never enough. I love mixing and matching my colors and styles. Yet, it was not until I began visiting South America that I realized that if there was such a place as Bikini Heaven, this would be it! The beaches of Punta del Este and Rio de Janeiro were filled with the best bikinis (and bodies) that I had EVER seen. But as I spent more time on these beaches, I began to realize that these bikinis looked great on even non-perfect Brazilian and Argentine bodies. At that moment I did what any normal girl would do, I hunted down my favorite South American bikini designers! One of my absolute favorites for a sexy, high end, perfectly fitting, unbelievably well made bikini is Nina Swimwear.

And no, I’m not just talking about how you look in that swimsuit (although I do think feeling great about how you look, instead of feeling insecure is important). Think about it, how could you have a real Jet Set Life is you feel tired, over weight, sluggish and unhappy with your physique? If you want to have enough energy to no only take on the world but to really enjoy it, you’ll have to be healthy. Plus, who doesn’t want to look slammin’ when they de-robe to hit the hottest pool scene?
