You can totes make this one with a Naked & Famous Bow Tie!

Does anyone remember when Nylon Mag used to have a DIY feature every month?  I remember sometimes it would be super complicated, with a list of ingredients like one elephant, a pound of Moroccan Cocoa Nibs, an industrial caulk gun and a tube sock.  Teen Vogue has a similar feature now, where they tap a designer to create a DIY project to share with all of us.  All of the archives are on their website, and while results vary from totally unwearable to cute attack, it’s fun to look through them for inspiration… especially when you find yourself breaking open your penny jar a week before Christmas.

Here are some good ones:

What’s In Your Bag?

cdg logo

The next time you find yourself reaching for your plastic or cold-hard cash, think about the state of your most used accessory… Your wallet.  Does it hold a candle to your cross-body handbag? Is it frayed around the zipper and packed to the zip with receipts and Frequent Shopper Cards? Then, be honest and admit that, no, it doesn’t compare to that awesome bag you snagged on Gilt Groupe.  Yes, it’s a little beat up, well, a lot beat up and these receipts have got to go.

Treat yourself to the best with a Comme des Garcons wallet this holiday and reveal the best you. Hey look, you’re organized. Have your nails always been so perfectly manicured? Wow, is that your natural hair color? (ok, you get my drift)

SF Guys, Anthony & Azalea Are Here To Get You Ready For Date Night!

Getting Ready to Go Out: San Francisco Style

GGB-atNight

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.

hairgel

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.

facial scrub

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.

AllPurpFaceMoist

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!

alcfreedeo

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!
