Lift Md’s Beauty Light

The beauty light at Lift Md Aesthetics in Beverly Hills is a great way to get rid of a variety of skin problems. It can help with the look of sun spots and pigmentation caused by environmental variables like the sun, large pores left from acne, and wrinkles by stimulating collagen growth with the light.

The medical spa, led by Dr. Garo Kassabian in Beverly Hills, is the best place to visit for any type of skin concerns. Once you schedule an appointment, the nurses will be able to determine what treatment will best suit your skin concerns.
Many clients are coming in to Lift Md to get the beauty light treatment on their chest. Your chest is the number ons sign of age, and sun damage is easily visible and rises to the surface. Three sessions of the beauty light treatment are recommended for good results. The recovery is minimal to no downtime, as the skin takes days after the treatment to heal and show results.

Follow your treatment with the Lift Couture facial, a facial personalized for everyone. Before the facial, the master medical aesthetician Merlin will decide what products she will use and how it will help your skin.

Contact Lift Md Aesthetics at 310-285-0400 for the cost.

Modern Beauty & A Beat.

My favorite Icelandic synthpop sensation Steed Lord is back with their first single of 2014 ‘Curtain Call’ from their upcoming album The Prophecy pt. 2. I have been obsessed with this band since I saw them perform live in LA at an Icelandic music event.

Listen to the single here: https://soundcloud.com/steedlord/curtain-call

The lead vocalist is a true modern beauty. Svala Kali Björgvinsdóttir is an Icelandic singer, songwriter, pop-star, and the blonde bombshell of Steed Lord. But that isn’t all. She also finds private time for her marriage, family, cat and oh yeah, fashion collection. Yeah, she is also an incredible designer. Now that is a real rockstar.

You can check out her line here: http://lastashop.com/designers/kali.html

So check it out. You can do some online shopping while listening to her new single. I can’t stop listening to it.

3rd ANNUAL NORTHWEST YOGA CONFERENCE BRINGS THE TRUE NATURE OF YOGA TO LIGHT MAKING THE EDUCATION OF YOGA MORE ACCESSIBLE & AFFORDABLE

Many would love the opportunity to get away to a tropical island or retreat to deepen their yoga practice and be inspired, but don’t have the financial means, opportunity or time to get away.  Washington native, Melissa Phillips-Hagedorn saw this as an opportunity to use the true nature of yoga to reach out to the community and make the education of yoga more accessible to everyone through this new conference in the Northwest.

As a yoga instructor herself, Melissa saw that there was a need to help bring the yoga community together and really felt that so many people were missing out on the opportunity of continuing the transformational education of yoga due to their financial limitations.

Melissa set out to create a unique event that allowed teachers, students and yoga enthusiasts alike to come together and celebrate in the love of yoga. Now in it’s  3rd year, the Northwest Yoga Conference continues to feature workshops for beginners, advanced students, teachers and studio owners.  Notable teacher like Kathryn Budig, Eoin Finn, Aadil Palkhivala, Jill Knouse and many more are scheduled to present workshops at this year’s “Nature of Transformation”themed event, allowing the beauty of yoga to be more accessible to the general public.

In addition to workshops, the conference offers special events, a marketplace with live music, and community classes. Attendees will have the opportunity to attend workshops to deepen their asana yoga practice or continue their education through inspirational lectures by notable teachers in the industry. Whether attending as a studio owner or instructor to learn more about the business of yoga or just attending to learn how to reduce stress and anxiety through yoga and meditation, guests will find a variety of workshops to inspire and transform them, without using their vacation time at work.

“People are typically surprised to find out that yoga is truly accessible to everyone, not just the yogis who can stand on their heads.” says conference director, Melissa Hagedorn.  In this spirit, the conference offers several free classes throughout the weekend for children, teenagers, beginners and seniors with the goal of encouraging the general public to come out and try yoga.  Additionally, the documentary screening and Keynote Speech, with Molly Lannon Kenny, are open to the public for a nominal fee.

ABOUT THE NORTHWEST YOGA CONFERENCE:

The Northwest Yoga Conference was founded in 2012 by a yoga teacher, Melissa Hagedorn, who realized there were no local and affordable opportunities in the winter for yoga students and teachers to retreat. Thus, Melissa founded the Northwest Yoga Conference which aims to celebrate and promote the benefits of yoga while cultivating a unified community through learning, sharing, and growing together.  For more information, please visit http://www.nwyogaconference.com.  Become a fan of the Northwest Yoga Conference at http://www.facebook.com/nwyogaconf and follow Northwest Yoga Conference on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/nwyogaconf.

Downward Dog for an Upward Life.

Yes, it is Monday, the least popular day of the week and notorious for being hectic.  Now that we have established that, take a deep breath in.  Now let it out.  Repeat until calm.  Do you feel relaxed? Invigorated?  Does your day/week seem a little more manageable now?  Imagine being able to feel like this all the time!  No, there’s no magic pill or elixir we’re about to tell you about. We’re talking yoga!

 

Yoga is personal.  It is more than a series of poses and stretches.  While the physical rewards are obvious and enticing, it’s what yoga does for the inner self that is the real hook.  We recently started going to Yoga Circle Downtown in Downtown Los Angeles and it has been life changing.  Yoga studios are more than just the ambiance and yoga mats, there is a certain energy that one must connect with.  Doesn’t matter what class you’re going to, from the moment you walk into Yoga Circle you feel the welcoming positivity of the atmosphere.  Each instructor has his or her own style and voice but the one thing that they all have in common is their ability to foster a circle of energy that radiates harmony and calm.  That harmony and calm that we’re talking about…it stays with you.  Yoga does more than strengthen the body; it empowers the mind, calms the spirit and revitalizes your energy so you can truly breathe in the moments and embrace your life with intent and peace.

Fabulous Find Friday: Carpe Diem X 1440

What does the number 1440 mean to you?  Money, military time, miles? How’s about that is how many minutes there are in one day.  24 hours, 1440 minutes. There isn’t one of us out there that has never thought, “Oh man, I wish there was more time in the day!”  Our lives are consumed by constant forward moving energy.  We are propelled into a “go-go-go” cycle and stopping is not an option.  This Fabulous Find Friday we are inspired to take one moment out of the 1440 and just…stop.   David Romanelli is the creator of Momenteer.  Momenteer is a website and, more importantly, a movement whose motto is simple but profound, “Life Is Short.  Show Up Fully.”  One visit to the site and you will quickly see that it’s all about embracing the here and now.  At face value, being present seems like the most natural thing to do but, in fact, it is just the opposite.  We tend to either lament the unchangeable past or stress about the uncontrollable future, all while missing the target: now.  Romanelli wrote, “Yeah Dave’s Guide to Livin’ the Moment” and has a second book called “The Momenteer Movement” which will launch later this year and his goal is to “restore the value of the present moment.” Taking the pledge is as easy as entering your name, e-mail and age.  After that, you will receive a daily e-mail at 1:11 to remind you of your pledge to live in the moment!  The concept is simple, profound, inspiring and it only takes a minute.  Give yourself the gift of the moment and remember you have 1440 chances, every day. Have a fabulous weekend and don’t forget to Carpe the heck out your Diem!

 

 

 

 

Milk, Licorice and Rice: Beautiful?

Familiar with the phrase, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?”  We all know that beauty is completely subjective.  One person’s dream could easily be another’s nightmare and that could not be any more true from country to country and culture to culture.  Travel around the world and you’ll quickly realize that each country has their tried and true beauty go-to’s.  We have 3 different country’s beauty secrets which may surprise and, yes, even gross you out.  Call it a world tour of beauty.

Egypt

We’ll start our beauty world tour in Egypt.  Perhaps one of the most beautiful and exotic terrains on the planet, Egypt boasts some useful and unexpected beauty secrets.  Specifically, the milk bath.  The origins of the milk bath come from, no surprise, Cleopatra.  It is believed that she bathed in milk baths to give her skin a radiant, healthy glow.  These days, you don’t have to be royalty to have a gorgeous complexion because many spas offer milk baths. Of course, there is always a catch, you can bathe in milk baths for luminous skin but don’t think that consuming it will do the same because dairy has been proven to cause breakouts.

France

France. Fashion, museums, wine, desserts and…licorice?  The vote on licorice is divided down the middle.  Some people adore the plant extract while others find it repulsive.  Whether you love it or hate it–one thing is true, this stuff is good for you!  It started off as a cure for stomach ulcers and inflammation and is now used in beauty products to boost skin tone, help with circulation and even aids in disguising imperfections.  Pass the candy, please!

When it comes to beauty, the Japanese have been on to something for centuries.  You probably think we are going to suggest something having to do with green tea but don’t count on that.  Ever need a beauty boost and think, “I wish I had some rice water and Nightingale droppings!”  We know. We know. Don’t freak out just yet, apparently Nightingale droppings contain enzymes that act as exfoliants.  We’re not sure we’re on board with this one but the rice water is something we’d be more willing to try.  Rice water contains phytic acid which has been proven to brighten skin and rice grains themselves can be used as exfoliants too.

Do any of these beauty secrets from around the world surprise you?  Have you tried any of them?  We’d love to know what you think!
