Spring time in the desert is, in my opinion, the most amazing season by far! The skies are blue and clear, the mountains are surreal and picturesque and the sun just kisses your skin with the perfect amount of sunshine! This spring my must-have product is Farmhouse Fresh Watermelon Basil Vodkatini Scrub.
Be ready for Spring! Having a great pair of flip flops is equally as important as your floppy hat and favorite cocktail when you’re lounging poolside. Planet Flops were created by Dr. Sylvie, a Beverly Hills Podiatrist and flip-flop aficionado. These flip flops form to your feet and are like walking on air.
Looking for something exciting for Valentine’s Day? Experience an aroma candle by Pino that not only is amazing for the skin, but a great way to get close with a loved one. The aroma candles are made of soy oil, coconut oil and plant extracts. The plant extracts create unique targeted benefits while the essential oils leave the skin velvety soft.
For the last couple of days I’ve stood in front of my vanity looking at all the potions I have to put on my face, step-by-step, to keep my skin looking young and vibrant. I start with my serum for anti-aging, then another serum for my hyper-pigmentation, next my eye cream, followed by my moisturizer, sunscreen and finally my foundation. Phhhew…. As a working mother of two, I have to wake up at the crack of dawn for all these steps to happen. Does this sound familiar?
The summer fun is over and it’s time for your teen to hit the books! Teach your teen a couple of "Back to School Basics" that will help promote clear skin during these pressured times.
Did you know that acne is the most common skin disease in the United States? Acne is caused by an excess production of oil in the sebaceous glands. Horomones, stress and an unhealthy diet are some of the causes of acne in teens. Teaching your teen the following basics will help your teen have clear and healthy skin.
Did you know that applying your eye cream with your ring finger is ineffective? Only 2% of your eye cream that you apply manually penetrates into the delicate skin around your eyes.
As the temperature rises here in the desert, our skin isn’t the only thing that needs protection. Our hair needs it too! Excessive sun exposure can dry out your hair and make that beautiful color fade away.
Geo Thermal Therapy was founded two centuries ago in North America by the Paleo-Indians. It was originally used for the medicinal properties of the hot and cold temperatures. “Geo” means stone and “thermal” means temperature. Many spas are incorporating Geo-Thermal therapies today into their treatments due to the benefits of the cold and warm temperatures. Hot and cold stones that are placed on the skin allow for the blood stream to open and push toxins from our vascular system boosting the immune system.
Humor relieves stress and anxiety and prevents depression, helping put our troubles in perspective. Laughter can help boost the immune system, increase pain tolerance, enhance mood and creativity, and lower blood pressure, potentially improving treatment outcomes for many health problems. Humor may also be related to happiness, which has been linked to high self-esteem, extroversion, and feeling in control.

At the end of July I had this dream of swimming laps in the moonlight on a warm summer’s eve. The pool was huge, and the water was fresh and just the right temperature. As usual, I would not dive in, since I like to go in more slowly these days. But the water was so perfect, a fast dive skimming the surface and landing smoothly on the great expanse would have been heavenly. Every...
