The New Year Brings the Best for BeautySweetSpot

Happy New Year!  Just yesterday I began kicking off the year back in my NYC apartment after spending two weeks relaxing at home in Jersey.  It feels good to be back!  Time to grind!  Of course, I’m going to hit on some of my New Year’s resolutions in this post, but trust me, they affect you too!

How you ask?  Because I write about my interests and passions and one of them is working out… this is my year for toning the booty (and the whole lower half for that matter)!  So of course you should expect to find some tips and tricks on how to get in the best shape for your body time from some top personal trainers on BeautySweetSpot.

Two very popular features from the past that will be reappearing in 2011 are “Man of the Week” and “VIP Pass to the Industry.”  For those of you who aren’t familiar, I used to feature a different man each week and give you a peek into their medicine cabinets and fantasies.  This year,

Man of the Week

Ladies, meet Michael, a 25 year New Yorker who works in bond sales.  His grooming habits consists of a cold beer, head massage and a hair cut.  Sounds like this guy likes to be pampered as much as he likes to party.

What’s in your medicine cabinet?

Well, not medicine.  Pretty simple stuff… Old Spice shaving cream & deodorant, Listerine, hair gel.  I also have two colognes: Burberry Brit and Chrome Azzaro.  I get next to no compliments when I wear the Brit, but Chrome has attracted any and all types of women from friends to randoms to even college professors.  It’s great.

What product can’t you live without and why?

That’s pretty easy.  Gel would be tough, but if a guy didn’t have shaving cream we’d all look pretty dirty.  Except for my friends that are still growing peach fuzz.

Man of the Week

Ladies, meet Alex, a 20 year old salesman from Brooklyn, NY. Let’s take a peek into his medicine cabinet…

What’s in your medicine cabinet?

Colgate toothpaste, Old Spice deodorant, Rusk straightening hair cream

What product can’t you live without and why?

I need conditioner or hair cream since without it my hair can get really poofy.

How would you describe your grooming habits?

Pretty normal. I shower everyday, but I am usually a bit scruffy since I don’t shave often.

Have you ever gotten a manicure or pedicure?

No I have not, because I always thought of that as a woman’s thing.

If you could have one night with any celebrity who would it be and why?  More importantly, what would you do?

Either I would spend all my money on a date with Zooey Deschanel or smoke blunts with Dave Chappelle. She is extremely cute and he is extremely funny, I just can’t choose.

Man of the Week

Ladies, meet Nick, 24 and single from Berkeley Heights, NJ. He’s an Assistant Property Manager by day and apparently a huge flirt by night.  He may just win Man of the Year right off the bat, read on and you’ll see why. Yes, I’m blushing!

What’s in your medicine cabinet?

Nothing! (I have a sister and she rules the bathroom). But if I could put my products in the cabinet I would have all the shit that’s randomly scattered around my room: Deodorant, Shaving Cream, Face Scrub, Floss, Toothpaste, Hair gel, Vitamins, etc… Just the basics.  My favorite brands though would be: Old Spice Deodorant and Garnier “Surf Hair”.

What product can’t you live without and why?

Well considering every night before I leave I brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack; my favorite product would definitely be Jack Daniel’s (I mean come on, once I leave for the night, I ain’t coming back).  But besides that, my other choices would be my deodorant, toothpaste, and body wash.

Man of the Week

Ladies, meet this cutie, Jennaro, 26 and single from Hoboken, NJ.  He’s a marketing manager and real estate investor who has quite a theory about grooming “down there.”  But hey, I asked!  TMI? You be the judge!

What’s in your medicine cabinet?

My medicine cabinet is fairly simple. I am Italian so I have Crew hair products, but I don’t spend an hour doing my hair. I use Neutrogena face wash, Gillette Fusion razors, Nivea face cream, Degree deodorant, Dove soap and Crest Pro Health toothpaste. We can’t forget the cologne: Burberry Touch, Jean Paul Gaultier, and my favorite – Chanel Platinum!

What product can’t you live without and why?

My iPhone? If not, I would have to say my annoying contacts, which shall be obsolete very soon as I am looking into Lasic correction surgery.

How would you describe your grooming habits?

I hate letting my hair get too long, so I get a fresh cut every two weeks. My facial hair is usually kept well groomed and stylish, chest hair and other areas I use the trimmer to keep them attractive. You never know who you are going to meet and when, so I insist on looking fresh at all times.

Have you ever gotten a manicure or pedicure? Why or why not?

No! When I think about these practices I always have a preconceived notion that they are strictly for women. However, I have heard from a number of males that they are amazing. I think I can live without manicures and pedicures, simply service these areas myself.

If you could have one night with any celebrity who would it be and why? More importantly, what would you do?

These questions are always entertaining. If I could have one night with any celebrity I would choose Megan Fox. She is a young rising star that has already made her mark in hit feature films including Transformers I & II. She seems to be down to earth, have high energy and she is smoking hot. As for planning the night, I am sure there is not much that could impress someone of her status. So we would do a quiet Italian dinner in Little Italy where we could enjoy ourselves and talk without a lot of attention. Afterwards hit a wine/beer bar for a couple of drinks. Next, I would take her to see a personal friend and celebrity tattoo artist from Starlight Tattoos, since I know she is fascinated with tattoos.

What’s the first thing you notice about a woman?

I believe men are afraid to admit that they first look at a woman’s body. If they are attracted to her physically then they will engage her in a conversation. It is in this conversation that I notice a woman’s smile and how she carries herself.

Do you prefer a woman au naturel or all made up?

I prefer a woman au naturel. I can understand and appreciate a minimal amount of makeup. However, if the situation should arise where we are waking up next to each other, I don’t want to see a different person.

How about down there?

I personally prefer completely bare but do not mind a landing strip or neatly groomed. Why you ask, three reasons. First, because Generation X and Generation Y (millennials) have been exposed to modern pornography where the women are mostly bare contributing to the ideology that el natural is trashy or unattractive. Previously (‘70s & ‘80s), it was perfectly acceptable to be el natural as seen in the pornography of that time. Second, when performing oral sex on a woman, having her clean shaven is beneficial for both sexes. Third, I am a very visual person so I like to look at the woman’s body when being intimate.

When it comes to a woman’s beauty what’s your sweet spot?

I have always been attracted to a woman who has amazing legs (smooth and clean shaven), her stomach (firm and flat) and her ass. Not necessarily in that specific order.
