I walked into the chic boutique of ALO Yoga studio in Beverly Hills on Tuesday evening to attend the gorgeous launch of YUNI BEAUTY and was blown away. YUNI BEAUTY is a beauty line, inspired by the athleisure movement, offering “mindful beauty for an active life.”  I had the pleasure of getting a first hand tour of each product from Emmanuel Rey, the founder himself, with much in-depth description and yummy sampling!

My stand out favorites were the SHOWER SHEETS; perfect for a post yoga session or workout wipe down (when your yoga studio has no shower available!) that smell incredibly clean, packed with essential oils AND the WIND-DOWN WONDER, a delicious warming body oil spray I used last night straight out of the bath; the perfect thing to send me off into blissful sleep!

INTO THE WILD HIKE WEEKEND at OAKS SPA in OJAI

October 18, 2016

The Oaks Ojai (I have yet to check it out!) is offering a physical and spirit filled weekend of wilderness hiking, healthy eating, and soulful practices that clear and rejuvenate the mind, body, soul. This unique event has limited space and requires an additional fee.  They are proud to work GoMacro as their sponsor.

Contact [email protected] Hiking Packages for more info.

This link takes you to the fitness assessment, sample itineraries and other details.

Dec.  9  – 12 

As the season changes, Hiking Packages with Carol are a delightful and vigorous way to re-vitalize the inner beauty within us.  The hikes are designed to connect us back with nature and with our deeper peaceful and more humorous self.  Challenge and pace will respect the terrain and move with the rhythms of the group.  Participants should be comfortable with distances of ten miles.  
Unlike any other hikes offered at The Oaks, this special and inclusive experience is offered only to qualified people.  The group is small and intimate so that you are assured full attention and fun!  The additional fee for the hike week is $800 and for the weekend, $500.  (Our Room Rates).  Please check the proposed itinerary below and review Carol’s extensive credentials – we think you’ll see why this is a hiking enthusiast’s dream getaway!
With a group of three or more, Carol will create a customized hiking adventure package.  This means the distance, type of terrain and dates are customized for your group.
Food is always included with these hikes, either served at The Oaks or carried with us.  Depending on weather and the group, the hikes described may be subject to change.  Please note:  Poison Ivy is a plant very common to the California trails.  Though we plan on educating you and avoiding this plant, if you know you are sensitive, please wear long pants for extra protection.  IS THIS HIKING WEEK FOR YOU?  ALL INTERESTED PARTICIPANTS MUST COMPLETE THE HIKING ASSESSMENT.  Below is a tentative schedule.
