1. Arizona Spa Girl says “This is the one to go for when you just had to dance until 3 a.m., regardless of your 9 a.m. breakfast date with mom. We understand and we are here to serve you with this quick and easy fix.” Here’s what you need:

· 2 slices of cucumber

· 2 frosted spoons

Here’s what you do:

Put two teaspoons or slices of cucumber in the freezer for 15 minutes. Place the frosted spoons or the cucumber slices on your eyelids and relax for ten minutes.

2. Melissa Aden an ethnic restaurant examiner says “Whether you are a water hater and need to add flavor in order to drink the stuff, trying to kick your soda habit, or just looking for a refreshing alternative to regular water, Mint Cucumber Water is an easy and inexpensive twist on simple H20.

I have served Cucumber Mint Water at many a get-together and dinner party, and it always receives rave reviews. Let this crisp, fresh drink make you look like a genius in the kitchen, and cool your brow in these hot summer months.”

Ingredients:
Plenty of ice cubes
1 gallon chilled water (purified water preferred)
1 medium cucumber
10 fresh
mint leaves, rinsed

Directions:
1. Thin slice cucumber
2. Place cucumber slices in pitcher, punch bowl, or beverage jar
3. Slightly muddle or cut
mint leaves to release flavor and place in serving container of choice
4. Add water and ice cubes

How to Maintain your Brazilian Wax

by Lisbeth Endre

Keeping your bikini area moisturized will reduce irritation and also minimize hair growth. As the hair grows in, it will make the skin a lot softer and reduce chafing. Many individuals like to use baby lotion.

Touch it up with a razor. While it is likely that the Brazilian wax got the majority of the hair, it is possible that there are a few strays that might have been missed. After a few days have passed and your skin is no longer irritated, shave those stray hairs off. You can also pluck them out with tweezers but that is usually more painful.

In order to keep your Brazilian wax in the best condition it’s important to regularly get waxed. Many individuals usually go again about 8 to 10 weeks after their initial wax. The more you get waxed the easier it becomes for you. Many individuals claim it is less painful and there is less hair growth after their first few waxes.

Enjoy that Brazilian wax and remember to maintain it!

To Douche or Not To Douche

To douche or not to douche that is the question. Vaginal douching is the ancient practice of rinsing the vagina for hygienic purposes. Still millions of women around the world continue do it, and a recent survey found that in United States 30 percent of women between the ages of 20 and 40 douche regularly.

So why do you think so many women still douche? When the vagina has its own self-cleaning mechanism — good bacteria that help to keep it healthy. First, douching disturbs this delicate balance by reducing the number of protective Lactobacilli, thus creating an environment in which bad bacteria can flourish. Second, douching can actually cause an infection by disrupting the natural balance of bacteria and yeast in the vagina.

The risks of douching have seldom been clearly explained. But in fact some researchers suspect that douching can cause irritation and inflammation of vaginal tissues, the resulting irritation can make it easier for us to get STDs, bacterial and yeast infections.

If you are having odor problems, seriously a little gentle wash and water on the vulva, a good soak in the tub, and voila! Nice, clean hoo-hoo. And nice clean hoo-hoo isn’t aromatically challenged. If yours is having odor issues, or unusual discharge issues (some types of discharge are perfectly normal!), this means you should see your doctor.

Vajacial, Vadazzle Oh My

by Sophia Marcel

You are probably thinking what the heck is a vajacial and why would I want one? Well, let me tell you it is the newest treatment in a long line of frankly bizarre ways to make your bikini area more ‘glamorous.’ And you can have it done exclusively at Stript Wax Bar .

Suggested for women who get brazilian waxes, the trademarked treatment aims to do for your ladybits what a facial does for your face. “We developed the Vajacial to really address and treat the key needs of anyone who gets waxed,” Stript owner Katherine Goldman said in a press release. “Your ‘little lady’ will thank us!”

It’s basically a facial, for your brazilian to sort out any uncomfortable skin concerns, such as ingrown hairs, bumps, and skin irritations. It takes about 50 minutes and will give your crotch the best non-orgasmic experience you can imagine.

It’s meant to be performed the week after your wax and involves 4 steps which include a antibacterial cleansing with witch hazel, papaya exfoliation, and an esthetician that personally removes your ingrown hairs (now that’s service!) are all standard. The treatment is finished with a calming, anti-freckle, anti-acne mask and a lightening cream.
