There are few things sexier than smooth, touchable skin. Shaving, however, doesn’t yield long-lasting results and can get tedious. This is where alternatives to shaving come in super handy. Whether targeting fuzzy legs, intimate areas, underarms, or your face, waxing and sugaring provide a smooth, hairless look and feel much longer than shaving. Ready to give it a try? Check out any of these fabulous Nashville waxing salons!

When it comes to what to wear for your boudoir photoshoot, our answer is pretty much always the same: whatever you feel sexy in. Maybe it’s a little skimpy lace or something with a little more coverage and a lot more leather. Perhaps you feel sexiest in an athletic jersey (and nothing else underneath) or an off-the-shoulder sweater. Maybe it’s nothing at all! Just know that it’s okay to want to feel comfortable in your boudoir wardrobe, just as much as it’s okay to want to push yourself out of your comfort zone. If you’re looking for a new daring outfit to showcase at your photoshoot, I highly recommend checking out these Nashville lingerie shops. Remember, having a few standby options never hurts, just in case you feel something a little different in the moment! 

Getting the perfect brow is a lot harder than it seems. You could commit to taking time out of your daily routine to shape, darken, and color in your eyebrows, or you could try a semi-permanent treatment like microblading! Microblading uses teeny tiny needles to deposit fine, hair-like lines to your brows for a fuller and extremely natural look. If you’re contemplating trying microblading, check out these fabulous studios for Nashville microblading!

I know it’s a cliche to say, “Your body is a temple,” but let’s be real - it kind of is. Not only is it important to care for our bodies inside and out, but we also need to practice how we revere our bodies. Celebrating your unique self with a sexy boudoir photoshoot is a great way to show your body a little extra love and appreciation. Booking a spa treatment is another great way to show ourselves we care. Whether you’re relieving stress and tension with a massage, replenishing tired skin with a hydrating facial, or treating yourself to an indulgent body wrap or scrub, a trip to the spa may be just what you need. Check out these Nashville day spas for what I hope is a little extra inspiration to show your gorgeous body some love today.

Boudoir photography isn’t just an experience - it’s a mindset. Getting in front of the camera can make you feel vulnerable on the best days (and when you’re fully clothed), so being mentally prepared to bare yourself physically and emotionally takes a lot of guts. One way to prepare for this empowering mindset is by practicing yoga. Connecting your breath to your body and practicing being present in the moment are huge assets when feeling confident in your camera presence. These are some of our favorite Nashville yoga studios where you can practice your empowerment while stretching your muscles and maybe even getting in a solid workout.

Whether you’re preparing for a boudoir photoshoot or simply love the look of clean, polished nails, a great mani/pedi can make a big difference. Plus, when you pick the right spot, having your nails done is in and of itself a relaxing and indulgent act of self-care. Thinking about switching up your look? Check out one of these amazing Nashville nail salons!
