beauty

I'm so extra.

i couldn't find the perfect lip balm, so i made* my own.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have planned to write a post like this: a thinkpiece, a soapboxy saga on the wonders of not washing my hair. Yet, here I am, ready to wax lyrical about the topic.

I went 30 days without washing my hair

If there is one qualm I have with any major industry it's the one that focuses on all things "beauty."

Things you really need to be beautiful

Ladies, if you live in Atlanta and haven't been acquainted with Sweet Samba, allow me to introduce you. 


I've been going faithfully for about a year, and I was originally attracted to their spa services, specifically their bikini waxes. Unlike other places in town, they a soft wax, which only bonds to the hair, not the skin. This is especially important for our delicate areas! The best part? It's only $35 for first timer brazilian waxers, and the prices stay extremely reasonable after that. I've seen fancy schmancy spas charge upwards $80-$100 for a full wax, which, in my opinion, is outrageous. Sweet Samba provides quality service at fair rates. I've been seen by a few different estheticians, and I'm never disappointed.

While you're waiting, check out the products in the boutique. Their homemade candles & soaps smell amazing.













There are three locations around Atlanta: Midtown, Downtown, & Vinings (my usual spot). They also have student discount available!
