The ÖRLÖ Advantage: Superior Absorption and Bioavailability

June 6, 2024

I am over the moon to finally get my hands on ÖRLÖ Active Omega supplements.

Derived from algae, ÖRLÖ’s DHA bioavailability is three times more potent than fish oil, making it a superior choice for anyone looking to boost their omega-3 intake. (All of us).

ÖRLÖ’s algae-based omega-3 supplements boast three times the bioavailability of traditional fish oil, ensuring that your body absorbs the essential fatty acids it needs for optimal health. This means you get more bang for your buck with ÖRLÖ, as smaller, easily-swallowed soft gels deliver high concentrations of DHA and EPA directly to your system.

No Fishy Aftertaste, Just Clean Nutrition

One of the biggest complaints about fish oil supplements is the dreaded fishy burps and aftertaste. ÖRLÖ solves this problem with its vegan-friendly soft gels (yay because I loathe big pills), providing a pleasant and effortless supplementing experience. You can take with or without food. Produced 100% clean and sustainably, ÖRLÖ ensures that you get all the benefits of omega-3 without any unwanted side effects.

ÖRLÖ’s benefits extend far beyond just omega-3 supplementation. Its high concentration of DHA supports various aspects of health:

Brain and Central Nervous System: DHA plays a crucial role in maintaining brain health, supporting focus, attention, and cognitive performance. It also aids in neuroplasticity, combatting early signs of brain aging.

Healthy Sleep: Low levels of omega-3s are linked to poor sleep, and DHA is essential for the production of melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep. ÖRLÖ can help improve sleep quality and support healthy hormones and immune function.

Skin, Hair, and Nails: DHA promotes healthy skin, hair, and nail growth, keeping you looking and feeling your best.

Parenthood: For both men and women, DHA supports fertility and reproductive health. It helps build healthy sperm, supports ovarian health, and can even reduce menstrual pain.

Eyes: DHA is crucial for maintaining healthy vision, supporting visual acuity and moisture levels.

ÖRLÖ’s black refillable bottle is a thing of beauty. Its modern, minimalist design adds a touch of sophistication to any countertop or medicine cabinet. Unlike the typical plastic bottles that clutter up shelves, ÖRLÖ’s sleek container is something you’ll want to display proudly.

Eco-Friendly Choice

One of the standout features of ÖRLÖ’s packaging is its commitment to sustainability. By offering a refillable bottle, ÖRLÖ reduces plastic waste and encourages reusability. It’s a small change that makes a big difference, both for the environment and for consumers looking to make more eco-conscious choices.

ADD 2 SMALL PILLS TO YOUR DAILY ROUTINE

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) makes up half of the fat in your brain, central nervous system and eyes. Supporting them while offering functional support to your skin, hair, nails and immune system is vital. ActiveDHA fatty acids in polar lipid form, created by ÖRLÖ’s technology platform are the purest, cleanest, algae-based essentials, science backed, and with the highest bioavailability in the world.

Hey there, golf aficionados and whisky connoisseurs! As we gear up to celebrate Father’s Day, what better way to honor the patriarch in your life than with a gift that perfectly marries the sophistication of Scotch whisky with the timeless allure of golf? Enter DEWAR’S 19 Year Old – The Champion’s Edition, a limited-edition whisky crafted to commemorate the enduring collaboration between DEWAR’S and the U.S. Open Championship.

It’s not just a whisky; it’s a journey through time and tradition, echoing the precision and finesse of the sport itself.

What sets this edition apart? Well, for starters, it’s aged for a whopping 19 years, a unique age statement within the whisky category. Crafted under the expert guidance of Stephanie Macleod, five-time Master Blender of the Year, this expression undergoes DEWAR’S signature double aging process and is finished in first-fill rye whisky casks, infusing it with a rich and refined flavor profile.

So, what can you expect from this liquid gold? Prepare your taste buds for a sensory adventure. It begins with a symphony of ripe pear and heather honey, leading into a spicy tapestry of cinnamon and cocoa powder that gently warms the palate. With each sip, you’ll be transported to the rolling greens of Pinehurst Resort & Country Club, the cradle of American golf.

But wait, there’s more! DEWAR’S 19 Year Old – The Champion’s Edition isn’t just about the whisky; it’s about the experience. As you raise a toast to dear old dad, why not accompany it with the official cocktail of the U.S. Open Championship, the Lemon Wedge? Infused with DEWAR’S 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky, lemonade, and club soda, it’s the perfect refreshing companion for a day on the course or a cozy evening at home.

Stephanie Macleod, the mastermind behind this exquisite blend, describes it as a remarkable journey, echoing the precision and finesse of the sport itself. And Brian Cox, Vice President of DEWAR’s North America, aptly sums it up as a celebration of camaraderie, competition, and cherished moments—a sentiment that resonates deeply, especially on Father’s Day.

So, whether you’re raising a glass to your dad, grandfather, or father figure in your life, make it a moment to remember with DEWAR’S 19 Year Old – The Champion’s Edition.

Bioavailable Plant Protein In My Oat Milk Please

June 2, 2024

Over the last 5 years, oat milk has been the fastest-growing plant-based milk on the market. However, more and more people are becoming aware of the not-so-favorable nutrition profile and list of ingredients in many oat milk products.

Maker Milk – a new powdered oat milk made with organic oats, bioavailable plant protein, and healthy fats is here to change that. Not only is it more nutritionally balanced, helping you to avoid the blood sugar spikes associated with most oat milks, but the powder form has a much lower environmental impact than liquid milk alternatives.

Maker Milk was created by Danika and Clarissa, two moms on a mission to revolutionize plant-based milk and make it healthier for people and the planet. With six kids between them, they understand the importance of high-quality nutrition and sustainability.

For the past decade, Danika, the founder of the LA-based non-profit Alliance of Moms, has dedicated herself to supporting families and children in need. Clarissa has focused her efforts on fighting child hunger, and implementing school lunch programs in New Zealand, work that earned her recognition from the Obama Foundation as an emerging leader in the Pacific.

“We were tired of our seemingly healthy and environmentally friendly choices contributing to the current health and climate crises,” explains Clarissa. ”While so many of us love oat milk, most oat milks are nutritionally imbalanced, lack protein, and contain inflammatory oils.”

Not only is Maker Milk more nutritionally balanced, but its powdered form has a much lower carbon footprint than heavily packaged liquid milks that require significant emissions to ship.

“We are all Makers,” says Danika. “It’s what connects us and makes us human. If we’re going to shift our course to a kinder, gentler impact on our planet and ourselves, we believe in doing our part together.”

With Maker Milk, you can enjoy a creamy, delicious oat milk beverage while nourishing your body and reducing your environmental impact. The powder makes it easy to enjoy oat milk anywhere – just mix with water or blend into your favorite recipes. It even works great for baking!

Don’t settle for imbalanced, highly-processed oat milk. Choose Maker for a truly healthy and sustainable plant-based milk option.

Revive Med Spa in Topanga Village: Elevating Aesthetic Excellence

May 17, 2024

I am thrilled to report on this gem in Topanga Village, as this marks our first feature on an aesthetics destination in this area.  Nestled in the tranquil ambiance of Topanga Village, Revive Med Spa stands as a beacon of advanced aesthetics and rejuvenation. From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped by a serene environment that promises an experience far beyond typical spa treatments. Revive Med Spa combines cutting-edge techniques with a retreat-like atmosphere, making it the ultimate destination for anyone seeking to enhance their natural beauty.

Revive Med Spa has been the premier medical spa in San Diego since 2006, proudly voted “Best Place to Get Botox” in the region. As a top 10 provider of MORPHEUS8, BOTOX®, JUVÉDERM®, and LATISSE in the nation, and the #1 provider of CoolSculpting® in California, they offer the most advanced and innovative treatments. The med spa also features leading brands in medical-grade skincare, including SkinMedica, Alastin, and SkinCeuticals.

As an aesthetics enthusiast, I am always on the lookout for the best treatments and practitioners. During my recent visit to Revive Med Spa in Topanga Village, I booked an appointment with Michele, one of the highly acclaimed practitioners, for a baby Botox touch-up and some facial balancing and optimizing. Her expertise and meticulous attention to detail quickly put me at ease, and I knew I was in good hands.

We decided on using Restylane Lift for my cheeks and Restylane L for my lips and nasolabial folds. Restylane Lift is known for its ability to provide volume and contour to the cheeks, delivering a subtle yet noticeable lift that enhances the natural bone structure. Restylane L, on the other hand, is perfect for adding volume to the lips and smoothing out nasolabial folds, ensuring a balanced and youthful appearance.

The procedure was efficient and surprisingly comfortable, thanks to Michele’s gentle technique and the use of a numbing cream. She carefully injected the Restylane Lift into my cheeks, providing an immediate and natural-looking lift with more defined cheekbones. This subtle enhancement made a significant difference, giving my face a refreshed, well balanced appearance.

 

Next, Michele focused on my lips and nasolabial folds with Restylane L. She skillfully added volume to my lips, enhancing their shape without making them look overdone. The nasolabial folds were softened, creating a smoother and more harmonious facial contour.

The results were immediate and exceeded my expectations. My cheeks had a beautiful lift and contour, my lips looked naturally fuller, and the nasolabial folds were significantly reduced. Michele’s artistry with the fillers ensured that all enhancements looked natural and balanced, highlighting my features without any hint of artificiality.

Revive Med Spa in Topanga Village is not just a place for treatments; it is a journey toward self-enhancement and confidence. The combination of a serene environment, state-of-the-art techniques, and skilled professionals like Michele makes it a top choice for anyone looking to elevate their natural beauty.

If you are considering facial enhancements or simply want to indulge in the best aesthetics care, I highly recommend a visit to Revive Med Spa. My experience with Michele and the transformative results of the Restylane Lift and Restylane L treatments have been fantastic.
