You got the Juice now!!!!!!


It’s lunchtime, and you can’t wait to run and get your lunchbox and devour the lunch that your mom had so lovingly prepared. You usually had a dope sandwich, a snack, and of course a juice box. Remember that juice box was like the best part of your lunch? As a parent have you secretly drank your child’s, Motts, Juicy Juice, or Capri Sun? Don’t worry I won’t tell.

Well if you have don’t be ashamed, as a matter of fact we here at SA2F have got a little secret for you.

Are you ready?

What if I told you we know a spot where you can get your favorite juice boxes, but with a twist. Your favorite juice box infused with alcohol Yep, alcohol. If this is to your liking then Anchor is the spot for you on Thursday nights. Starting this Thursday night Anchor will serve Juice Box Cocktails. Now you can get your favorite juice box infused with booze.
But there is one catch; there is no menu so you’ll have to order by name. Now you know we are not going to leave you hanging so here is the list of drinks to help your ordering process go well and not have you end up in detention for failing to order properly:

Juice Box: Apple Juice (aka An Apple a Day)
Ingredients: Starts with a box of Mott's apple juice. Then the injection, via plastic syringe, of bourbon, sour apple mash and cranberry juice. The first sip may cause an intense flashback to grade school. Let it pass. Keep drinking.

Juice Box: OJ (aka Cigarette and a Hall Pass)
Ingredients: Orange juice injected with tequila and just a drop of blood-like grenadine. And yes, it's served with a single Parliament Light.

Juice Box: Lemonade (aka The Hall Monitor)
Ingredients: A boxy take on the lemon drop martini, with vodka and elderflower liqueur injected into an unsuspecting box of Minute Maid lemonade. The sweet taste is trumped only by the convenience and portability of the juice box. Forgo the temptation to order one for the road.


We don’t want to have you end up in detention for grown ups aka (central bookings)

BlackBerry Breaks Into Worldwide Phone Bestseller List

Blackberry faithful we have arrived! According to wired.com the Blackberry is finally a bestseller!!! Check it out below:


BlackBerry fans can break out the bubbly. Growing demand for its phones has helped Research In Motion move into the top five mobile phone companies worldwide in sales during the first quarter, says research firm IDC.

RIM replaced Motorola in the Top 5 chart and tied with Sony Ericsson for the No. 4 position. RIM shipped 10.6 million phones in the first quarter, while Motorola, which had been a fixture in the top-five ranking since 2004, shipped 8.5 million phones.

“This is also the first time a vendor has dropped out of the top five since the second quarter of 2005, when Sony Ericsson grabbed the number five spot from BenQ Siemens,” says Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC’s Worldwide Mobile Phone Tracker.

Apple doesn’t feature in the Top 5 chart because the company shipped 8.75 million phones worldwide in the first quarter, says IDC. Next week, IDC will release data on the top five mobile phone makers in the United States.

However, Apple has taken the top spot among U.S. phone makers, a rather small group that includes Motorola, Apple, Palm and a handful of minor players.

The worldwide rankings take into account both smartphones and feature phones. Though feature phones (cheaper, simpler devices) are still a big percentage of phones sold worldwide, low-cost smartphones are picking up in sales, says IDC.

Nokia, whose devices don’t get much love in the United States, held on to its No. 1 position worldwide, shipping 107.8 million phones in the first quarter of the year. That’s up 16 percent from the same quarter year before.

Samsung ranked second with 64.3 million phones sold, and LG shipped 27.1 million phones to bag the third place. RIM, which ranks fourth, sold nearly 2 million more phones than Motorola, says IDC.

“Key to its success in the first quarter was the popularity of its BlackBerry Curve 8520 and BlackBerry Bold 9700 across multiple markets, as well as its global prepaid offerings,” says IDC. “Strong consumer adoption, particularly among text-crazy teens, has also fueled demand for BlackBerry devices.”

5 Common Dating Mistakes You Don't Know You're Making



Dating is hard especially after you have had your heart broken. Getting out there again can be trying and some times it may be viewed as not even be worth it. But has it ever occurred to you that you may be making some mistakes that you aren’t even trying to make. Well according to yahoo.com there are quite a few:

1. Tunnel vision.
Don't limit your dating pool to your normal "type." Branch out of your dating comfort zone and give a chance to those you haven't previously considered (think age, looks, profession, location). You just might be surprised as to whom you meet and fall for.

2. Underestimating how much you have to offer.
Be you; not what you think other people want (i.e. your mother, your friends or that guy you've had your eye on). Authenticity is sexy, and it goes hand in hand with confidence, adding up to a very attractive combination. Plus, if it clicks with someone, you'll know it's real.

3. Judging yourself.
Confidence and friendliness count for way more than model looks -- in dating, and in life. You're human; you have flaws. Learn to rock your flaws instead of beating yourself up.

4. Expecting too much (or anything) on a first date.
Having expectations about a first date almost always leads to disappointment, especially when you're first diving back into the game when your fear level is high. Avoid this by enjoying the company no matter what they're like. If it's great? Great -- go out again. If the date totally tanked? Enjoy a bad date for what it is -- a great story to tell your friends. Taking the pressure off makes for an enjoyable time, no matter what happens.

5. Cynic-syndrome.
When you're in post break-up "I've-been-burned" mode, it's incredibly common (and natural) to assume the worst about people. Do your best to avoid this and you'll be pleasantly surprised how everyone isn't your evil ex. Letting go of cynicism is a major part of moving forward. This is a hard one, so be patient with yourself!
So, as you get back out into the dating world, take a step back and be aware of yourself, your thoughts, and how you are presenting yourself to the world. Remember these 5 common mistakes, know that you're not alone in thinking this way, and try to keep these mistakes from preventing a potential future happy relationship.

FRESH STYLE: JIMMY CHOO SNEAKERS

Jimmy Choo is normally all about their stilettos and we more than love then for that but, now they are on a new plane with their sneaker line. The company announced the line in January, but the kicks aren't for sale yet. They come in all kinds of style patent leather, matte metallic leather, or snakeskin, and available in high top ("The Tokyo") and low top ("The Miami").
They are definitely hot but in true Jimmy Choo fashion, the sneakers will run you about $600 per pair. Check em out!


Health Benefits of Sex



Sex. It is one of the more fun parts of the relationship, but did you know that there are actual health benefits to having a good sex life? No really.

Sex is one of those things that is good to you as well as good for you and since we here at SA2F are all about the good life. We figured that this is something you should definitely know about. As with anything we ask that you make sure that you are safe and protect yourself at all times. Have fun and get healthy!

1) Stress Relief- sex causes lower blood pressure and aids in overall stress reduction
2) Sex boots immunity-good sex can lead to better health. Sex once or twice a week has been linked to an increase imunnoglobin A, an antibody that helps prevent you from getting colds and other infections
3) Sex burns calories-Sex is great form of exercise. You can burn 85 calories in one 30-min sex session. May not seem like a whole lot but if you are getting sex often, t can really add up
4) Sex =heart health?- Yes its true, studies have found that men who have sex twice or more a week reduces the risk of a fatal heart attack by nearly half for men, compared to those who had sex less than once a month
5) Sex is a Self esteem booster-according to the Archives of Sexual Behavior , self –esteem was one of the reason people have sex the most
6) Sex increases intimacy-having sex and orgasms releases a hormone called oxytocin, also known as the love hormone. This hormone helps us with bonding and trusting
7) Good sex reduces pain-when the hormone oxytocin increases, so do endorphines. As endorphines increase, pain declines. That’s definitely more fun then popping a pill right?
8) Sex reduces the risk of prostate cancer-frequent ejaculations especially in younger men may reduce the risk of prostate cancer later in life. The Journal of the American Medical Association found that frequent ejaculations, about 21 per month were linked to lower prostate cancer risk in older men
9) Stress strengthens pelvic muscles-Ladies, doing your Kegels during sex has its benefits, it will give you more pleasure in the bedroom and helps to decrease the risk of incontinence later in life.
10) Sex can help you sleep better-that oxytocin hormone also helps you sleep better—no wonder we are so sleepy after sex

So Addicted to "Richard Hennessy"




When you think of cognac one name comes to mind, Hennessy. You can go to any fine drinking establishment and order Hennessy & coke, ginger ale, cranberry, orange juice and even Hypnotiq (AKA Incredible Hulk). But here at SA2F we don’t do ordinary, we are extraordinary. We don’t believe in doing things that  average people do, we have high standards, and we demand the same standards when consuming our favorite libations.

Normally when out and about we like to drink Hennessy Privilege, which is an excellent "top shelf drink". But on very special occasions we treat ourselves to the finest cognac know to man  “Richard Hennessy”. I have been fortunate in my life to have tasted this exquisite cognac and I must say I have been chasing that euphoric high ever since. A glass of Richard Hennesy at an “upscale establishment” will run you about $100-$200(Checks wallet to look at funds) and that is only if the fine establish that you’re attending even has this bottle on their shelf (if they did It would be way at the top of the shelf, with Johnny Walker Blue Label). A bottle of Richard Hennessy Cognac 750 ML will run you about $3,599.99 with a Bacarrat Crystal version priced at a lower $1,760.87 (That’s still a pretty piece of change). Nevertheless if you are fortunate to purchase a bottle this fine cognac, feel privileged, very privileged.  

History of Richard Hennessy:
Richard Hennessy is named after former mercenary Richard Hennessy, an Irish aristo who founded his Cognac house in 1765 on land granted by a grateful Louis XV of France. This Cognac draws on some two hundred years of knowledge, talent, expertise and passion. This dynastic tradition of selecting, ageing and blending “eaux-de-vie” is without equal in cognac



Sexy Thai in the West Village









So the weather is finally breaking, leaves are sprouting on the trees, and the anticipation of spring is starting to swell.

Then you realize it’s time to get out, and mingle.

If you like Thai food, and you want a sexy spot to eat, and socialize with beautiful urbanites we got you! SA2F presents: “Betel a sleek little upscale Thai street-food joint, now opened in time for your spring awakening in the West Village.

Walking into the unmarked door of Betel, you’ll quickly realize the Aussie owners have consulted the courtship oracle- the front room is decked in dark wood, bathed in candlelight and set up with dark corners (not to mention a small back lounge) for getting your mack on.



You’ll want to opt out of a private table (trust me) and take a seat at the long communal table that runs the length of the main room. (Designed to be 18 inches for more intimate conversation). With a great menu, and citrusy whiskey drinks, this is a great look for the young urban professional. When spring has finally sprung they’ll unleash a private back patio and front sidewalk section for your outdoor needs.

He's Just Not That...Um Into...You

Ladies, have you ever met a man and everything about him seemed right? From head to toe the man seems to exemplify everything you have ever wanted in a man and them some. He seems to honor you and take are of your body like no one ever has before, and pays special attention to  places others have neglected. The passion and the chemistry are off the charts and there is a heightened anticipation as to what the big moment will feel like. The moment comes and you are thinking about everything you will feel until you look up at him and realize that you don't feel anything. He is putting in work but while his engine is revving  you are unsure if the key is in the ignition. You may even find yourself thinking "Is it in?" Do not panic!!! 

To be honest, your man is one of many that are not particularly blessed in that region. It does not have to be a deal breaker. It simply requires some adjustments and if he is worth it, then you will appreciate these helpful tips from Askmen.com 

Prior to Penetration

Focus on foreplay

Foreplay should include anything and everything your woman enjoys. Kissing and caressing are always appreciated, but you can and need to try other things to get the blood flowing. Toss in some sexy pillow talk to start, and be sure to have her favorite sex toys on hand. If she’s a bit kinky, you may want to try some sensual biting or even a bit of a spanking. The key here is to lavish her with the kind of attention you know she responds well to; you want to get her so hot that she can’t help begging for sex.

Stimulate the clitoris-there really is no better way to get her hot Whether you do this via oral sex or manual stimulation, make sure she climaxes at least once before you move on to penetration; this will help alleviate any performance anxiety you might experience once you’re ready to try the following small penis sex positions.

The Positions

The doggie

When performed at the correct angle, the doggie can make even the smallest penis feel quite large. You’ll want her positioned in such a way that she’s able to comfortably place her head and shoulders on the pillow, while having her bottom raised in the air. To help create the most effective angle, her back should be arched and her thighs should be drawn together. Not only is this the easiest small penis sex position on our list, but it’s also one of the most popular.

Bite-sized tip: Lean forward during penetration, maintaining as much physical contact as you can comfortably manage; this will keep things intimate, enabling her to reach her sexual peak as quickly as possible.

The snake

For this small penis sex position, you’ll want your woman lying flat on her belly with her legs closed. For the sake of ease and comfort, slip a pillow beneath her hips until her bottom arches upward. Keeping your knees bent, straddle her hips while maintaining an upright position and place your genitals just behind her bottom. Gently spread her thighs just enough to allow penetration and slide your way in. Take care to keep your weight off her body during intercourse; if you feel the need to brace yourself against something, bend forward until you’re able to touch the bed -- it won’t detract much from the position.

Bite-sized tip: If you really want a tight fit, hold her thighs together as you penetrate her. This is also an excellent position from which to administer a sexy spanking.

The rabbit ears

Lay your woman down on her back, spread her thighs and draw her legs up until her knees are close to her ears. Slip a pillow under her bottom, as this will place her vagina at an angle better suited for this small penis sex position. When you penetrate her, it will feel as though you’re filling her vagina completely. Once sex starts to get wild, however, it can be difficult for a woman to hold her legs in that position. We suggest using your own arms to hold her knees in place; simply place either arm in the crook of her knee before you brace your hands on the bed.

Bite-sized tip: This is an excellent position for her to masturbate in. You may want to encourage her to slip a hand between your bodies to stimulate her clitoris while you’re rocking her world from inside.

The V-formation

With your woman lying flat on her back, move between her thighs and enter her as you normally would from a kneeling position. Next, raise her legs and grasp either one around the ankle; you’re going to elevate her legs entirely and then spread them apart until they form a “V.” You’ll be able to thrust quite deeply from this small penis sex position, so you may want to gain leverage by bracing your palms against the wall or a headboard. To do this without changing the position, simply drape her legs over your shoulders.

Bite-sized tip: This position will give you an excellent opportunity to tease her clitoris. Free one of your hands up by resting one of her legs on your shoulder, and stimulate her clit until she orgasms.

We know that this is a sensitive subject but it seems like the men at Askmen.com have it covered. Every man cannot be "big" but every man can offer pleasure in their own way. Here's to happy trying!

So Fresh--Shoes March 8th 2010

JUST TO GET BY-TIPS FOR SURVIVING THE WORK WEEK

It's Monday--so few of us are rejoicing about that fact at this moment. Monday signals a long week of bosses, meetings, demands, annoying co-workers and of course deadlines. To put it simply, Monday are like the beginning of battle. But there are some simple tips that you can do to make your work week better, starting with your Monday.
 We have compiled these tips from all over so try a few and let us know what works.

Eat a healthy breakfast- Healthy food gives is the energy we need to start our days, let alone our weeks. So start your day off with some fruit or some egg whites. You will be amazed at how it changes your mood.

Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon in your coffee-Good smells trigger endorphines in your body and will help with you mood.

Take a little time to yourself-This works best when there is too much going on and you are feeling overwhelmed. It happens to all of us but take a moment and just breathe. Close your eyes and visualize a quiet place. Take about 10 deep breaths in and out and then go back to focusing on the task at hand.

Pack yourself a special lunch-Make your favorite dish and pack it up for lunch. It will give you something to look forward to.

Make a to-do list-They help keep your organized especially if your co-workers aren't and will help your day run more smoothly.

Drink more water-Soft drinks and juices have high amounts of sugar and lead to a crash at the end of the day. Water will help with the energy.

Now these tips won't change your life or help you battle the boss from hell, but they will help you take care of you and take on the work week.  HAPPY MONDAY!!!

So Addicted to "Air Jordan 2 Retro Premio"




When it comes to hot new kicks SA2F has got you covered.  We here at SA2F love the "Air Jordan" brand, so when we got wind of these new Retro's we lost our minds. It looks like Jordan has finally got it right with the "Air Jordan 2 Retro Premio". The upper is made from fine Italian leather, and crocodile skin. Making these kicks a must have for the spring/summer. Jordan has even raised the bar by providing a dope package, which consists of shoetrees and dust bags to help keep your kicks fresh. The sticker price will set you back a couple of dollars, but for these hot kicks we think it's worth it!

Things We Miss--90's Male Groups Pt. 1

It's crazy how music has completely changed in the past 10-15 years. It is actually a bit depressing that we don't really have the classic music that used to and still does get a good party started.  We used to have groups that made some serious baby making music. They were groups that inspired crushes in grown women.  Well at SA2F we miss them dearly, so today we dedicate our "Things We Miss" to some of the 90's groups that still stay in rotation on our Ipods.

JODECI-K-Ci, JoJo, Dalvin and Devante came on the scene in 1990 and dominated the game almost instantly with their New Jack Swing style. For a while it seemed  like they couldn't make a bad song and then just as suddenly as they came on to the scene, they were gone. Admist rumors of  in-fighting and drug abuse came the collapse of one of the most influential  R&B groups of the 90's.  But we still jam on songs like "Come and Talk To Me," "Freakin' You," "Stay," "Forever My Lady," and "Feenin" just to name a few.

DRU HILL-If ever there was a successor to the Jodeci-era, it was Dru Hill. Jazz, Sisqo, Nokio and Woody came out of Baltimore swinging with crazy four part harmonies that other groups were trying to match but never quite could. They were unstoppable with innovative videos and songs that made you want to fall in love and make some babies. Then came the addition of Scola, Woody left to sing gospel, Sisqo has a successful solo run and now there is Tao and honestly we are still wishing for their early days. We keep "Beauty", In My Bed," "5 Steps" and "These Are The Times" in rotation

SHAI - formed at Howard University in Washington D.C. Three of the four members, Marc Gay, Carl Martin, and Darnell Van Rensalier, belonged to the same fraternity, Alpha Phi Alpha, and along with good friend, Garfield A. Bright decided to take a chance at turning their hobby of singing into a career.Their biggest hit "If I Ever Fall In Love" reached #2 on the charts and sent ladies and guy groups everywhere into a frenzy. A more mellowed out R&B the group quietly faded away, though they still do shows now. 

There are definitely more to come, so stay tuned, we are just getting started!!

THOUGHT OF THE DAY MARCH 4 2010

"Victory becomes, to some degree, a state of mind. Knowing ourselves superior to the anxieties, troubles, and worries which obsess us, we are superior to them."
                                                  -Basil King

Can you hear me now?



At SA2F it's all about having the best of everything. So you know when we saw these hot new headphones we had to put our readers on. If you ride the train or bus, or even if you are frequent flyer (like myself) you are equipped with your IPod/MP3 player and a dope pair of headphones. It's all about having that concert HD sound right? If you answered yes then these are the headphones for you. Introducing the Sennheiser HD800. These headphones break new technological ground in several ways. Consider their 2.2-inch transducer—the largest among all dynamic headphones—which enables a staunch low-end response without sacrificing the high frequencies, or their enormous frequency response: 6 to 51,000 Hz. In the process of developing the HD800, Sennheiser engineers actually patented several of their creations, among them an innovative ring-shaped driver with minimal surface area. 


This shape reduces undesired resonances that can result in high-register distortion. The acousticians also devised an unusual, angled ear cup that transmits sound into the ear canal as naturally as possible. These innovations, and others, deliver in a big way. The HD800 produces sound so crisp that recording imperfections become readily audible: the soft release of a flautist’s breath, the scratch of a bow along a violin string. Background noise never sounded so good. To find out more about the Sennheiser 800 click here

TIPS TO NATURALLY BEAUTIFUL SKIN

We all want to look good. And looking good starts with the very basics-your skin. Believe it or not  what you eat has just as much of an effect if not more than the products that you use on your face, so we decided to go to Blackdoctor.org to find out how you can eat your way to and maintain healthy skin:

Food:
  • Eat fruits and vegetables that contain vitamin A, C and E. They help with blocking pollutants from penetrating the skin.
  • Carrots and cabbage are rich in Vitamin A helps with dryness
  • Spinach, raw nuts, and seeds have Vitamin E keeps the skin smooth
  • Oranges and lemons contain Vitamin C, which keeps the skin firm, unlined and youthful. 
  • Seafood and turkey is loaded with Zinc, which helps maintain collagen and elastic fibers to give skin its firmness, helping to prevent sagging and wrinkles. 
  • Water is essential to maintaining your skin’s elasticity and suppleness. 

OK, so now that you know what to eat to get your healthy skin, now you need to know how to maintain it. Here is what Blackdoctors.org reccommends:

STEAM-try doing this right before bed. That was you can get all the dirt and the grime of the day off of your face.  This is easy just soak a cotton washcloth with warm water, wring lightly and gently place on your entire face. Steam your face for two minutes.

CLEANSE-With your pores open, next splash warm water on your face and neck. Using an all-natural cleanser (always try to use a cleanser specially formulated for cleansing the face), massage onto your wet face with a soft complexion brush, or your fingertips, in a circular motion for about 40 seconds, including your neck area. Be careful to avoid the skin around your eyes. Rinse thoroughly with tepid water.

TONE Dampen cotton ball with toner and gently wipe your entire face and neck area. This lifts away any residue that you might have missed, plus closes your pores, preparing your skin for moisturizing. Note: Always use Alcohol-free toners.

MOISTURIZE In an upward, circular motion, apply a small amount of your favorite moisturizer to your face and neck areas. Moisturizers work to condition, moisten and protect your complexion.

EXFOLIATE (Once a week) Moisten your face with water.Use exfoliating gloves or a natural scrubbing brush designed for the face.
Rub your face in circular motions. Avoid scrubbing under the eyes. Rinse thoroughly with tepid water. Apply a moisturizer containing alpha or beta hydroxy acids. These acids will continue the exfoliating process, because acids cause additional dead skin cells to slough off.

Now go get your glow on!

SA2F Presents "The Artista Lauren Luna"



Here at SA2F we are in constant pursuit of all things fresh. So believe me if it's on our site then its "Fresh". (In Diddy's voice as we proceed to give you what you need) , I now present to you the art of Lauren Luna:

 At an early age, Lauren knew what she wanted to be when she grew up: a famous artist! Unlike other young adults whose childhood aspirations usually change, Luna’s desire to be an artist remained. 

Immediately after high school Luna went directly to college in pursuit of her dream. While studying at a college in the state of Ohio, Luna learned that there was a variety of opportunities for promising artists in New York City. Attaining this information made Luna feel like she was one step closer to obtaining her dream and it created a passion in her that led her to travel to New York City twice a year and eventually move to the ‘Big City’ where she volunteered as a Gallery Assistant in the Cinque Gallery. 

Living on the East Coast taught Luna many lessons that she still calls on when in tough situations. However, it is her art that she uses as an expression of freedom and is her way of sharing her joy and creativity with the world. 

Lauren is a talented artist who is taking the world of custom shoe designs by storm. She has designed exclusive kicks for the likes of:  DJ Tony Touch, LL Cool J, Raekwon & Noreaga. Placing her at the top of her class when it comes to custom kicks & apparel.

Her latest line "The Se7en Deadly Sins" will feature her own interpretation of the seven deadly sins: wrath, greed, sloth, envy, gluttony, pride & lust. This October , they will materialize in the Se7en Deadly Sins Fashion show.  (which SA2F will be covering) This line is sure to have woman's shoe enthusiast going crazy, and craving for more. Lauren is truly a visionary when it comes to fusing creativity, and her unique since of style to create a shoe line that is ahead of its time.
