SF Guys, Anthony & Azalea Are Here To Get You Ready For Date Night!
Getting Ready to Go Out: San Francisco Style
From the breath taking views, fresh food at Fisherman’s Wharf, to the exciting nightlife, the opportunities for fun our amazing city provides are limitless.
Tonight however, is extra special. You scored a date with that special someone you’ve had your eye on, and now the pressure is on to think of something great to do, as well as get ready and look your best. What’s a guy to do? Lucky for you, Anthony Logistics is here to help.
Hair is one of the first things people notice when they first meet you. Avoid making yourself look like you just rolled out of bed by using the Alcohol-Free Hair Gel. It contains Seaweed Extract which helps build body, Vitamin B5 to nourish, Whole Wheat Protein to condition, and Aloe Vera Gel to help keep your hair non-spiky but soft. The special formula also helps you gain control of your style, increase definition, and fight frizz, keeping your hair style in check even if you battle the gusty winds when you want to walk the Golden Gate Bridge. Plus, even if you want a light hold, you can use this product to soften curly or wavy hair as well as build body and increase shine.
Now to tackle your face, try using the Facial Scrub twice a week. Containing spherical beads and fine Bora Bora sand, it buffs away dead skin cells and keeps your face looking bright and healthy. This exfoliant also reduces ingrown hairs since it gets rid of the dead skin that traps hair underneath which causes irritation. Plus, it contains Aloe Vera which helps soothe and restore the natural PH of your skin, and a multitude of Fruit Oils to revive and tone your skin. It also has a pleasant citrus scent that will help revive and pump you up for a great night out.
After all you’ve done to your face, don’t forget to moisturize to smooth dry skin. Use the All Purpose Facial Moisturizer to not only make your skin soft, but also help even out skin texture. Plus, it contains natural AHA Fruit Extracts that help erase and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, keeping your face as youthful as you are now, even in the future. The formula absorbs immediately into your skin without leaving a greasy after feel. It’s even recommended for slightly oily skin since it absorbs excess oil and controls shine. Use this, and your date won’t be able to help feel for themselves how soft your skin is!
Besides your hair and face, make sure you don’t smell like something that was caught on Fisherman’s Wharf by using the Alcohol-Free Deodorant. It goes on clear so it won’t leave those gross white marks on your prized shirts, and contains herbal and botanical extracts to calm your skin. Plus, because it doesn’t contain aluminum, you don’t need to worry about harsh chemical on your skin for hours! It goes on dry will stay on dry, and its odor fighting powers last all day, perfect if your day date carries over into the night.
Now all you have to do is pick out some spiffy clothes from Azalea, check yourself in the mirror one last time, and go on one of your most memorable dates!
Getting ready for a big night out is stressful, but thanks to Anthony Logistics and the amazing vibe of San Francisco, you can go out with your head held high, knowing that you are looking your best and feeling confident!

Exclusive Designer Q&A with Billy Reid
Laid-back and luxurious, Billy Reid’s return to fashion has gentlemen and gentlewomen excited the world over. From heavy wool coats to a gentler, feminine take on a winter flannel, Reid’s collection for A/W 2010 is astounding to say the least. So, you can see why taking a few minutes out of his busy, busy schedule to answer a few quirky questions for us is, well, special…
What is your favorite thing to wear? Roper boots. They look great with age.
When making a sandwich, what’s the one thing you cannot leave out? Without a doubt, mayonnaise.
Quick! You’re in San Francisco for ONE day and you have to make it count. What are three things you would do to make it a trip you’ll never forget? I would go to In ‘N Out burger because there’s only one in the city. I’d spend some time at the piers. It’s a great place to relax when I have the time. And I would also check out Bourbon & Branch. The drinks are so good you need a password to get in.
