Novel Cordials and Mindful Mixology With Kitty Bernardo of NYC’s Paradise Lost
Walk through the nondescript door marked only with a creepy green glyph on Second Avenue in New York’s East Village and you’ll encounter the greatest entryway in modern bar history. Immediately, you’re bathed in neon and surrounded by foliage, drawn to the glowing letters “PARADISE LOST” like a thirsty mosquito to a bug zapper. Pass one more door and you’re trapped in uber-kitsch tropical hell (think: “Jaws” meets “Hellraiser.”) I’ve spent hours in this bar and every visit I notice something new and delightful artfully staple-gunned to the walls or ceiling. This joyful, spooky collage would be enough to keep me coming back again and again — the drinks could be an afterthought and I would still sing its praises. Fortunately for all of us, the drinks happen to be not only phenomenal, but thoughtful as well.

Everything You Need To Know About Getting A Brazilian Wax
One of the biggest trademarks of summer is showing skin. For many, denim shorts, mini skirts, sundresses, tank tops, and swimsuits are all on heavy rotation.

For your underarms and legs, shaving and waxing are some of the standard approaches, but often the biggest question is, what are you going to do about your bikini area? Using a razor is definitely a solid choice, but it’s time consuming, the hair grows back quickly, and you likely have to work harder to fight off ingrowns and irritated skin. An alternative? The highly talked about (and feared) Brazilian wax.
