Me, well, I’m prob home with my kids this year (sniff sniff) but I am for sure celebrating love anyway.

Cuvee Beauty Hair Care
*A French term referring to a blend of the best of the batch, first pressed grapes used to make a high quality, prestige blend of champagne.
CUVEE Founder & CEO Rachel Katzman went to Las Vegas for her 21st birthday and was unexpectedly doused in champagne. Twenty-one bottles later, Rachel realized that her hair looked BETTER drenched in champagne than it had when it was professionally styled. She became obsessed with how soft, shiny, and textured the champagne left her hair and realized this accidental discovery must be bottled. She kept testing her theory—spraying and styling with champagne. VOILÁ! The result was the same – all tousle, no frizz – the most perfect hair waves without any effort.Rachel dedicated herself to finding the right team to formulate the exact concoction that would leave hair looking flawless and healthy. Combining only top-of-the-line ingredients, the CUVEE COMPLEX™ was born. It is a carefully crafted blend of: Champagne Extracts for soft, shiny hair that provides antioxidant properties to guard against damage from pollution. White Truffle Extracts add moisture. Platinum Extracts detoxifies the hair and scalp. Plant proteins nourish and protect from UV Rays. Resveratrol slows down the process of hair loss. Ceramides help repair hair fibers resulting in stronger, thicker, more resilient hair.
Rachel made sure to put as much care into developing a fragrance that would be so captivating, it would create a seductive experience. This unique scent combines notes of champagne and fig, formulated in Grasse, France — the fragrance capitol of the world.

I FINALLY TRIED COOL SCULPTING AT MARINA PLASTIC SURGERY / DR. GRANT STEVENS
January 5, 2017
I have been woefully neglect in not reporting on COOL SCULPTING earlier! I receive call after text from women (And men!) wanting me to give them my first hand experience low down and as of yet, I had nothing to share. Until today.
I headed over to one of my top favorite offices in LA (make that country) , MARINA PLASTIC SURGERY Dr. Grant Stevens / Body by Orange Twist to try it for myself – finally!
I have a stubborn patch of fat on one thigh that simply wont go away. I’ve had this every since I had a hip replacement and the scar just made my leg all funky – including that way the fat healed. It’s the perfect test point!
WOW. A chill (no pun) 35 mins later, just laying down, reading, with the totally comfy device on my leg was a breeze (more ‘cool’ puns, I swear, I am not meaning to write them!). The divine Carla Crespo, MS, PA-C (with all those degrees she’s otherwise known as badass genius goddess) so unbelievably lovely, just popped on the handle, had me lie down and let the machine do its thing. Honestly, I wasn’t really aware of it at all. I guess you could say, a suction, cool, massage type of feeling, if I was to think about it, but within minutes I forgot it was on.
Now I wait 8 weeks and do one or two treatments (spaced 8 weeks apart) – then I’ll take photos and fill you all in.
But if you are wondering HOW it feels and WHAT the process is, experienctially – it’s a breeze. Easy. Peasy, On to work, working out, whatever. I was told it might feel a little numb, but frankly, it’s as if nothing happened.
Of course it’s been proven to work wonders on abdomen fat.

Botox for Night Grinders
December 30, 2016
Botox is usually thought of for cosmetic solutions such as wrinkle reduction of the forehead and crow’s feet, but the toxin actually has many amazing off label uses that have nothing to do with vanity (such as headaches, depression, excessive sweating, etc).
This month we are focusing on Night Grinding or bruxism. Botox can be used to control involuntary muscle tension and spasms when administered in the masseter muscles. Results can last up to four months with no effect on the ability to chew, swallow or talk. If you are interested in finding out more about how to treat bruxism, you may want to get in touch with a clinic similar to this Gresham dental practice or a dental practice local to you.
I recently tried this with Dr. Rivkin of Westside Aesthetics , as my grinding is not only out of control but has been majorly costly. Night guards, enamel re-coating – it’s a major financial dump. For less than $500 my jaw (mostly my left side) was treated and I look forward to waking up with less tension. The left side of my face is also notably more protruding because of the muscles are so tense so watching that subside and my face even out will be exciting.
I can’t wait to report back and to fill you in next month on the next “non-beauty” use for Botox you never knew about.
