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

Meet Ilan, a 25 year-old entrepreneur living in New York City.  Like many Manhattanites, he spent $80 on a single haircut and claims it was cooking sweet heart Rachel Ray who “changed his life.”  Wait until you read about his “down there” preference!

What’s in your medicine cabinet?

My medicine cabinet is pretty boring.  Its mostly the usual stuff. American Crew gel, an assortment of overpriced cologne, deodorant, some leave in conditioner, razors, etc. One really important thing is Gold Bond body powder.  All men should have an ample supply of this heavenly stuff.  If you’re a guy and you’re not using Gold Bond, you’re missing out on some of life’s greatest joy.

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.
