HOLISTIC BEAUTY

I enjoy talking about skincare and beauty.  If you surveyed 100 individuals they would all define beauty differently.  That would be great.  There is no one definition to describe beauty or to achieving it. 

Dr. Shirley Madhere's  holistic approach to beauty is helping her patients find their own beauty.  I like this approach because it brings all of the individual front and center. 

Read her interview with Lifestyle Mirror.

WELLNESS: Tenaya Lodge Hosts 3rd Annual Yosemite Wellness & Spa Retreat

Tenaya Lodge at Yosemite  hosts the 3rd Yosemite Wellness Retreat January 15-18 2016.

I 'm planning two spa vacations in 2016 and I do believe I've found what I have been looking for.  I am a sucker for lots of pampering. I enjoy the Zen-inspired ambiance at Ascent Spa and it would be nice to preempt the long, cold winter with a little relaxation. 

I'll see you there!

WEEKEND: Feel Good Friday

Getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning can over time make demands on the body that are not so forgiving.  Just bending over sent me into orbit.

Even so, I love getting a few yoga stances in before I hit the shower. This holiday season I’ve plan on doing a little self-gifting and will purchase 100 Yoga Poses by Anna Smith.  Yoga help me increase my flexibility.  I should be doing a little better than I’ve been doing and I plan to do just that.

Having to rise at 4:00 a.m. breakfast is often on the form of a smoothie. 
Superfood Smoothies by Julie Morris is my go to book for great recipes.  I don’t make a habit of drinking my breakfast, but when I am in a pinch my Kale, Ginger and Broccoli smoothie does the trick. ­­­

Take a moment this weekend to do one thing that will improve your mind or body or both.  Grab your BFF and head to a juice bar, learn new yoga positions or try Reiki, mediation, get that gym membership that you've put off.

Check out this article. If you are going to make change in your life to improve your health what would it be?

Whatever you do this weekend dig a little more to experience a deeper you.

Enjoy your weekend!

 

 

 

 

 

SKINCARE: Western Anti-Aging & Eastern Ayurveda Brings Shankara Skincare

In Sanskrit ‘Shankara’ means, pure beauty.  When western anti-aging breakthroughs meet eastern Ayurveda the results are remarkable.  Ayurveda enriches health by building a balance of mind, body and spirit.  Ayurveda is known for incredible massages that boosts energy and circulation to improve our sense of well-being.  

Western anti-aging science is circling the globe to bring the best science and nature has to offer.  Next time you're  planning your Ayurveda spa getaway try Skankara at Canyon Ranch Resort & Spa in Las Vegas or The Art of Living Retreat Center

We all have our beauty ritual routines that uplift our spirits and create moments of sheer serenity.  What I wouldn't do for a facial massage right now.  I adore Ayurveda treatments and I can't wait until I can again experience
Shankara.
