NEW DELISH SANDWICHES AND ORGANIC SOFT SERVE

July 19, 2023

Rosemary and Thyme, a brand-new boutique eatery serving up savory specialty sandwiches and scrumptious Straus organic soft-serve ice cream. Nestled in the flourishing neighborhood of Picfair Village alongside the trendy hot spots Riverbank, Mumu Mansion, Nivessa Vinyl Records and Mad Lab Coffee,  Rosemary and Thyme answers the neighborhood’s call for an elevated take on the classic sandwich shop.

Combining Midwestern comforts with a fresh SoCal twist, R+T delivers mouthwatering sandwiches built on organic Black Forest Bakery bread with a crispy crust and springy sourdough crumb. A mature cross between Carla’s Cafe and Gigi’s Cafe, R+T also sells gourmet Italian oils, imported pastas and sauces, and homemade lemonades muddled with crushed fruit from the local farmer’s market.

Founder and entrepreneur Lisa Rotondi has run the city’s favorite go-to school lunch program Organic Kids LA for the past 10 years, and has learned a thing or two about crafting lunches to please all pallets. From the pickiest 12 year old getting buttered pasta or a plain bagel with plain fruit and plain edamame every day, all the way up to the 5 year old foodie ordering a Buddha Bowl or Chicken and Waffles or even Steak w Chimichurri sauce. For R+T, Lisa looked back to her own childhood, finding inspiration in her Italian grandmother’s summer sausage sandwiches and weekend trips to the Dairy Queen. Some of Lisa’s favorites from the menu include:

The Sierra Bonita Chorizo Melt with house-made chorizo, mozzarella, pickled onions, and spicy chipotle aioli on toasted Black Forest sourdough.

The Carmona Open-Faced Egg with creamy egg salad, a hint of lemon, and sprinkled dill on top of sliced avocado and toasted Black Forest sourdough.

The Curson Italian with aged prosciutto, soft burrata, salami, arugula and pesto on a Black Forest baguette.

The Saturn Turkey Sliced roast turkey breast, sharp aged cheddar, shredded lettuce, basil/parsley aioli on toasted Black Forest sourdough.

The Orange Grove Perfectly marinated, crispy, Mary’s chicken,served with pickles, thinly sliced jalapenos, slaw and spicy mayo on a toasted brioche bun.

 

Alongside their signature sandwiches, R+T also offers crispy sourdough pizzas, snazzy, contemporary sides, and of course a smooth, Straus Organic Creamery soft serve. Add some organic hot fudge for more joy. Harkening back to the effortlessly simple swirls found in drive-ins like Dairy Queen and Foster’s Freeze, R+T keeps their soft-serve creamy and smooth, with options to fill their warm waffle cones with organic hot fudge, brownie bits, or gooey chunks of chocolate chip cookies.

Rosemary and Thyme is open 7 days a week from 11am – 4pm, and is available for takeout and delivery on their website (including all delivery apps).

They are located in the old Olson’s Deli space on Pico and Spaulding in a walkable, quietly hip neighborhood.

Cliovana: The Orgasm Support You Need Right Now

cliovana

Excited to share my personal experience and delve into the captivating world of Cliovana, an innovative treatment that has taken the realm of sexual wellness storm. I headed over to Dr. Asandra’s office (he did not perform it, a female practitioner only!)

Imagine: Increased responsiveness leading to more frequent orgasms • Increased responsiveness leading to more intense orgasms • Lubrication…

The process: easy, quick, fun – Felt great. I waited a few weeks to test-run things with my Maude vibrator and happy to say – orgasms are AWESOME.

*Note: typically takes 3 months from the last treatment for full revascularization to occur.

The Science of Cliovana: Nuggets of Knowledge

Sexual health and wellness products have made a lasting impact on millions of love lives all over the world. Unfortunately, many of these treatments and resources have primarily focused on male sexual gratification. [2] Not many treatments are catered to females.

This is alarming because recent students have found that most women are not happy with their sex life. [3] Unfortunately, there is a huge disparity in sexual enjoyment between men and women. Sadly another study found heterosexual women only report orgasming 33 percent of the time. [1] Thankfully Cliovana can help. It is the first and only procedure to focus specifically on regenerating the clitoris to increase sexual enjoyment, sensitivity, and lubrication. Using sound wave technology,

Cliovana stimulates the growth of new blood vessels and nerve endings in the clitoris, which results in increased clitoral sensitivity and responsiveness. In just four sessions spaced a few days apart, women start to feel increased sensitivity immediately after treatment with progressive results showing after subsequent sessions. Best of all, Cliovana is a comforting, enjoyable procedure that only takes a few minutes.

How Cliovana Can Help

Enjoy the pleasures of being intimate again with a Cliovana treatment. This easy, non-invasive procedure has helped women enjoy a healthy sexual life—all with the help of soundwaves.

Other advantages you can experience are:

  • Heightened arousal and lubrication
  • Intensified orgasms with increased frequency
  • Greater overall sexual satisfaction
  • Improved sensitivity of vaginal tissues
  • Simple, non-invasive, non-surgical process
  • No downtime
  • Results can last for up to a year

Schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Asandra and see how Cliovana can stop anti-climatic endings. Or, simply call (424) 213-1118. We are here to help.

Ideal Candidates

Seeking treatment is highly recommended for any woman simply looking to get more out of sexual intimacy—better satisfaction, sensation, and pleasure. If your love life isn’t as fulfilling as it once was, Cliovana is an excellent solution. The pain-free treatment was specifically designed to help with painful sex, decreased lubrication, and infrequent orgasms.

Personal Consultation with Dr. Asandra

Throughout his medical career, Christopher Asandra MD has dedicated years to groundbreaking technical research to provide effective anti-aging solutions to improve the lives of countless patients from all walks of life. In 2013, Dr. Asandra opened his first medical center devoted to sexual health and wellness. Together with the help of Dan Bertrams, MMS, PA-C, and Marlene Roberts, PhD FNP, AsandraMD has helped patients find satisfaction in all areas of their life.

Then, we will examine the genital area to help us create a treatment plan. After we have solidified an approach, we’ll go over how Cliovana will provide a better sex life. Finally, just before you go, we will provide you with a few preparatory items to complete between now and your appointment date. It is essential to follow these steps for a smooth journey.

Make an empowered step to your sexual health and see how a Cliovana treatment works. Schedule an appointment using our easy online form or call (424) 213-1118. In the interim, read up on other anti-aging services we offer on our blog.

Preparation

Cliovana is an easygoing process that needs very little preparation. The non-invasive procedure allows patients to enjoy a seamless process before, during, and after the procedure. Dr. Asandra only recommends that patients avoid sexual intercourse 24 hours before their Cliovana treatment. On the day of treatment, come to the appointment clean, well-rested, and excited for a new vibrant sex life.

The Cliovana Procedure

Cliovana is a three-step process carried out in four sessions, two the first week; two the second week. Each session lasts about 10 minutes. Patients love the treatment’s completely non-invasive and highly effective nature. Here is what your treatment will look like:

STEP 1: CUPPING

A small suction cup will be placed on the clitoris for two minutes. A gentle, consistent suction helps bring blood vessels and vascularity to the surface of the clitoral area. Patients report feeling a light tapping sensation.

STEP 2: SOUNDWAVE TECHNOLOGY

A device delivers sound waves over the clitoris for four minutes. The vibration deliberately breaks down tissue and stimulates microscopic tissue damage. This helps trigger the body’s natural repairing response and creates new collagen, more blood vessels, and spurs nerve growth that leads to increased sensitivity.

STEP 3: VIBRATION AND SOUNDWAVES

The final step combines vibration and sound waves to enhance results. The applicator is placed over the glans of the clitoris for about two minutes to finalize results to make the clitoral area sensitive.

There is zero downtime associated with Cliovana. After your session, you are free to leave the office and resume your daily life. Some redness in the treated area may appear but will dissipate in a few days.

Patients can continue sexual intercourse immediately after without compromising their results. A better sex life filled with better enjoyment and sensitivity is yours to keep for six months or longer. To maintain results, patients come in for yearly touch-up appointments consisting of only two treatments spaced 3-4 days apart.

Most women are happy to see immediate changes after their first session and continued results are seen with additional sessions.

After learning about the science behind Cliovana, I was captivated by the possibility of revitalizing my intimate wellness and embracing a more youthful state. Seeking the guidance of Dr. Asandra, a renowned expert in the field, I embarked on my Cliovana journey. Dr. Asandra’s expertise and personalized approach instilled confidence in me, assuring me that I was in the hands of a true professional.

Throughout the treatment sessions, I experienced a gradual transformation. Not only did Cliovana enhance my intimate wellness and amplify sensations, but it also boosted my overall self-confidence and satisfaction in life. The rejuvenation process was gentle yet effective, and I am delighted with the results.

If you are considering Cliovana, I wholeheartedly recommend seeking the guidance of Dr. Asandra. With his expertise and commitment to personalized care, Dr. Asandra will ensure that your Cliovana experience is tailored to your unique needs and expectations. Remember, your well-being is a treasure worth investing in. So, embark on your Cliovana journey with confidence and let the transformative power of science unveil a new chapter in your life.

Micropause Is Here Because It’s Not You, It’s Menopause

July 8, 2023

I am thrilled to share my latest company – Micropause™ – Your Daily Dose For Modern Menopause. As the founder of Micropause™, I’ve spent over three decades in the health and wellness industry, and during that time, I’ve tried every supplement, powder, and potion on the market. But when I began to experience the distressing symptoms of perimenopause, I found myself disappointed by the lack of natural, hormone-free relief available.

I’ve always been passionate about using superfoods like functional mushrooms, adaptogenic roots, plants, and herbs and when I turned to these ingredients to see if they could provide me with any relief, I discovered how they could help bolster overall well-being during the perimenopause and menopausal stages of life.

Through trial and error, I developed a daily routine of supplements that helped me find the relief I needed. I was so excited to share my discovery with other women who were also struggling with the same issues. But I knew that when it came to creating a product line, it had to be something easy to use, perfectly dosed, and, most importantly, delicious.

Enter the Micropause™ gummy- the perfect daily dose for modern menopause. I wanted to offer a product that would not only help women manage their symptoms but also encourages them to embrace this new stage of life. We are sexier, wiser, and more powerful than ever, and it’s time to change the conversation around menopause in general.

I want to inspire women to view menopause as an opportunity to re-discover their strength, vitality, and beauty. It’s a time to let go of societal expectations and embrace our unique experiences. I truly believe that Micropause™ can help women feel more in control of their lives during menopause, and I’m excited to be a part of this journey.

Let’s break free from the outdated notion that menopause makes us less relevant or desirable. In fact, we’re thriving more than ever. But let’s face it: we’re also dealing with hot flashes and a host of other surprises that we never saw coming. The lack of open discussion around menopause has left us feeling unprepared and alone.

Enough with the shame and suffering in silence. We’ve all been in situations where we’re sweating through a meeting and having to explain to others that it’s not just nerves. It’s time to change the narrative.

At Micropause™, we offer natural and holistic relief for menopause symptoms, so you can feel like yourself again. We are here to alleviate physical discomfort while redefining this phase of life and celebrating the possibilities it brings. We know our best years are still ahead of us, and we’re ready to embrace them together.
