Founded in 2000, by boe began as an intimate retail shop (originally named Annika Inez) on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, which also served as Annika’s workshop. The designer’s Scandinavian roots and diverse creative experiences-including interior design studies at Parsons and an apprenticeship with a couture dressmaker in Dubai-immediately yielded something altogether provocative and new in the contemporary jewelry market. Along with Annika’s uncommon take on architectural and nature-inspired pendants, cuffs, and earrings, Philippe’s mutually complementary professional experiences-including marketing studies at New York University and extensive production work and jewelry-making abroad-helped quickly grow the brand: Soon after opening their boutique, the Salames began expanding by boe with a larger retail outpost in SoHo and the establishment of a new wholesale jewelry business.

Long thought of as a woman’s prerogative, waxing is making great strides in gender equality. Men have caught on to the many benefits that waxing offers: smooth, longer-lasting results. In fact, it’s the last stop before permanent hair removal, so it does have its advantages. The results last two to four weeks, and continued waxing leads to diminished hair growth over time.
The Brazilian bikini wax for men is becoming an ever more popular for the body conscious gent. Some wonder, what man would willingly allow his more intimate parts to be exposed to hot wax before having that wax ripped from his body? The answer is more guys than you might think!
While many women are familiar with waxing as a hair removal technique, a lot of men have no knowledge of it outside of that hilarious (if not painful) scene in the film The 40 Year-Old Virgin with Steve Carrell. So if this is your only point of reference, here’s how its done!
A Brazilian bikini wax for men is similar to the waxing women experience. Waxing involves the application of warm wax on an area where you wish to remove hair; sometimes cloth is applied over it, sometimes not. After the area is smoothed, the wax is ripped away in one motion against the direction of hair growth. One of the most-touted benefits of waxing is that, unlike with shaving or tweezing, the waxed area will stay hair-free for weeks. When the hair does grow back, it’s generally finer and softer than before.
Manscaping on The Doctors TV show:
A Manscaping Project
On the other side of the spectrum, another man is suffering from a case of too much hair … on his derriere. Andrea from Tampa, Florida writes that her husband Richard’s bottom is extremely hairy … and it’s getting thicker. The couple joins The Doctors onstage, and Cindy from Pink Cheeks salon gives the hairy hubby a treatment behind a frosted screen. She uses refined spun honey beeswax and Egyptian cotton muslin to remove Richard’s butt fuzz. The wax lasts about six to eight weeks, and Dr. Travis says that professional waxing is preferable to home kits, which can be dangerous.
You love the colors of summer. Blues, greens and pinks that are light and airy- you know the drill. Fittingly one of the newest summer dresses at Sweet Samba’s boutique is a watery blue, and not to mention, super cute. With an empire waist and ruching throughout the skirt, this little number will not only show off your bronzed shoulders, but a hint of decolletage. And when the breeze blows later in the night, wrap a colorful pashmina around your shoulders to combat your chill or loop a summer scarf ’round your neck. But whatever way you choose to rock it, we’re sure you’ll look hot. And that goes without saying.
Hard wax is much more gentle than soft wax so removal won\’t be as intense as soft wax is. Once cooled enough put the wax on the are to remove. Let it cool and slowly peel up the section in a quick movement. Always go in the direction of the hair growth. Pat down the area with your hand. And repeat process if needed. Waxing with hard wax many feel is the best way to go.
Things To Know About Hard Wax
As you can see waxing with hard wax sometimes takes a little more work than most other things do. The biggest problem you will notice is getting use to working with it. Soft wax is totally different and will cause more pain than hard wax as it gives more. People need to understand that about hard and soft wax. Most people will tell you that working with hard wax would be their choice.
Remember to use soothing creams on the areas that you have work done on. This is because many times redness occurs and creams seem to lessen the pain and speed up healing which is a very important process in waxing. Always remember to avoid the eye area with these types of waxes. Waxing is a never ending process that seems to be changing all the time. Better innovations are coming out to make this type of hair removal less painful than ever before. I see no reason why this trend won\’t continue in the future.
Waxing with hard wax isn\’t for everyone. The people who have it done often will tell you how much they love it. In the end though that decision will be yours. Waxing gives you way to remove that unwanted hair at a very low cost. This is the nice part about waxing it\’s low cost and quick. Many people feel that is good enough for them.
So you’re feeling courageous and have decided to go ahead with the ultimate wax job. Here’s what you’ll probably experience:
If you’ve done your homework and consulted a trained aesthetician before your appointment, he or she should have told you to let your hair grow in the desired area and to possibly take pain medication before you come in.
Leave your inhibitions at the door. You’re going to be exposed (very exposed) during the process.
Powder will be dusted over the area to be waxed if you sweat.
Warm or hot wax will be spread on the genital area in sections. The wax will probably be covered with cotton cloths. If hard wax is use no clothe strips are needed. (hard wax is the lease painful)
The aesthetician will then remove the strips, with the wax attached, in one smooth motion. This may be pretty painful. This will be repeated with each section.
Any stray hairs will be removed with tweezers. If you already chose a patch of hair to remain, this can now be trimmed and shaped.
Be advised that you really want to consult a licensed professional for this procedure. This isn’t like an eyebrow tweezing; painful complications can result if done by someone who’s not as knowledgeable about this process as they need to be. Likewise, this isn’t a home grooming treatment you can expect to perform on yourself with any sort of good results.
Finding a trained aesthetician isn’t difficult. If you know someone who can recommend one, that’s preferable to just looking in the phone book and hoping for the best. Before you go in for the treatment, ask a lot of questions. If the aesthetician doesn’t seem educated enough about the process or seems annoyed that you’re asking questions, go someplace else.
The Brazilian wax is the next level up from the bikini wax
the former removes all pubic hair while the bikini wax leaves some hair.
The Brazilian wax is more popular than ever today and most women who have one are delighted – not only are they fashionable, but they give a women freedom and are sensual for both men and women.
Origins and popularity
The Brazilian wax originated in Brazil, so women wanting to wear the then-new thong bikinis, which was not widely popular inside the United States at the time.
Brazilian Waxing
became popular in the 1990s in the US before spreading worldwide.
1. It’s hygienic
Waxing of the public area is not new and centuries ago in ancient civilizations such as Persia and India women were waxing their pubic hair.
One of the main reasons is hygiene.
Pubic hair is magnet for germs that can cause bad odors and a variety of skin irritations. Shaving off the pubic hair will dramatically reduce the risk of these problems
2. It Gives you Freedom
You can wear that skimpy bikini, or swimsuit with confidence and lingerie that’s as revealing as you wish without the problem of unslightly hair running your look
3. It’s Sensual
Women have reported frequently they feel more sensual and have more intense orgasms after having a Brazilian wax. Do men like it?
In a recent poll 91% men said that they found it both more attractive and erotic.
4. It’s cheap
Today a Brazilian wax treatment at a salon is not just for the rich with the rise in the popularity of people waxing Brazilian style salons are offering it as a standard beauty treatment and prices are affordable to all.
You can get DIY Waxing kits you can use at home but these require some caution and you are best of to use a professional waxer in a salon to avoid accidents
5. It doesn’t take long
In around about 30 minutes a skilled waxer will have the treatment completed, so it’s really as quick as having your nails done.
Like your nails though you need regular treatments as pubic hair re grows.
6. The pain is not as bad as most women think!
The pain is not as bad as many women believe it would be (it is still painful though) and it is tolerable for most women, furthermore as you do more waxing treatments the pain drops down as your skin becomes used to the treatment.
7. The Brazilian wax is more popular than ever and if you want to try it and you’re not sure about the pain start with a Bikini wax first to see how you feel.
So it’s hygienic, sensual, liberating, affordable and takes very little time so there is a lot to be said for waxing Brazilian style, if you have not considered all the advantages add them up and take the plunge.
Normally the summertime is meant to show off those toned legs and arms in something short. Well why not leave a little to the imagination by not giving it all away too fast. Remember what mom said when you were in high school. Well the same applies now-leave a little something to the imagination. Follow in the footsteps of celebs like Paris Hilton, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Simpson who love long dresses, and don this fabulous long purple cotton dress. So you can now say you actually did something that mom told you to do. Well kind of. You didn’t hire that personal trainer at L.A. Fitness for flabby arms did you? Show them off.
Into the Wild
Want to look like you zipped to an exotic place for a weekend jaunt and picked up some clothes in a land glamorous and far away? Or just look like Lauren Conrad from The Hills? Well stop by Sweet Samba’s boutique and pick up this blue, black, brown, yellow and red Ikat top and pair it with some cute little black shorts or some skinny leg colored jeans. Perhaps even try it out over another Ikat print dress to, you know, spice it up a little. In case you haven’t already.
Hey baby
Nobody puts baby in the corner, according to Johnny in Dirty Dancing. Well no one puts you in the corner either. Especially in that fantastic embroidered top, we just got in at Sweet Samba’s boutique. Embroidery is huge this summer and has been all over the runways of Bryant Park (New York Fashion Week). So even though we know you’re not a slave to trends, you like to be in the know. So scoop up on of these tops and everyone will be asking, where in the world did she get that?
Living it up once in a while like a celeb is fine, but dressing like one all the time. Ahem we can’t afford that. But lately the one shoulder dress has often been seen on many celebs. And obviously it is flattering on most body types because we have seen it on everyone from the star of Twilight, Kristen Stewart to Miley Cyrus to Kim and Khole Kardashian. And obviously the beautiful First Lady Michelle Obama kicked off this trend as she wore the up and coming designer Jason Wu’s white one shoulder dress to the inauguration ball this year. As a matter of fact, Wu will be the honoree at Fashion Cares here in Atlanta this August. But back to the point, one shoulder dresses are hot right now.
Michelle Obama jump started the trend of One Shonder Dress this year and the rest is History.
So hot, in fact we have the black one shoulder dress in our boutique similar to the Kardashian girls’ dresses. We are betting they paid a pretty penny for their frocks but ours’ are only $60. So you know you read U.S. Weekly and follow what everyone wears, so why not swing by and pick up some essentials at our boutique. It’s not like you constantly have to worry that the paparazzi is following you.

Sweet Samba will be offering organic facials from Eminence Organics. For half a century, Eminence has been refining and improving the formulas for their spa products, using nature’s own ingredients to enhance and assist in the body’s own rejuvenating and healing functions.
Originally, the herbs, fruits and vegetables used to develop the Eminence product line were brought from small Hungarian villages, or hand picked and processed from our own gardens. Today these natural ingredients continue to be grown in organic conditions in Hungary in our exclusive farms. Natural ingredients from the earth and seas, such as: linden and calendula plants, jasmine and rose petals, rosehip, yarrow, green foods, nettles, paprika, natural thermal mineral spring waters, plus a variety of botanical extracts give rise to a beautiful, clear, balanced, revitalized, and naturally glowing complexion, visible results that only nature can produce.
Eminence ingredients are free of parabens and other harsh chemicals and are guaranteed to be 100% natural to ensure that Sweet Samba’s clients see and feel the dramatic results associated with the Eminence line. Eminence products have never been tested on animals, and our packaging is 100% recyclable.
Our skin acts as a barrier between us and the outside world, but sometimes being a barrier is a dirty job. Dirt, smoke, pollution and the sun can wreak havoc on our complexion, leaving it looking dull, aged and sallow. Facials help to rejuvenate the skin by rehydrating, exfoliating, and deep cleansing your hard working skin. Our licensed estheticians work with you to identify your skin’s needs and properly care for them with organic products that help your face defy time.
Not only do facials cleanse and restore natural moisture, they also act as a preventative measure to premature aging by minimizing blemishes, dry skin, wrinkles and acne. Facials also increase circulation and improve stress levels, helping our skin’s true beauty shine, even through all of the stuff we put it through. To fully reap the anti-aging benefits of facials, it is advisable to begin receiving them every other month.
