Organic Male OM4

Organic Male OM4 is a new line of organic, skincare products made exclusively for men, and uniquely designed with both natural and organic ingredients.

For most men, they don’t take the time to take care about their skin until it’s too late. So men, it’s finally time to really get serious about your own skin care.

The OM4 Mens collection is comprised of four categories: Normal , Oily, Dry, and Sensitive.

The assortment includes: Wash , a cleanser, Balance, an aftershave/toner, Bioactivate, a serum and Defend, a moisturizer. Solution specific ingredients especially formulated for their benefits are contained in each product.

The goal of the Organic Male OM4 collection is for each every product to position the skin to be in the absolute best shape possible. In addition, the company tries to educate men that daily skin conditioning is just as important as maintaining one’s physical fitness.

The treatment steps are as follows: Step 1: Wash (cleanser) Step 2: Balance (toner) Step 3: Bioactivate (antioxidant serum) and Step 4: Defend (moisturizer).

Each OM4 collection contains rejuvenating vitamin and antioxidant rich extracts to actively defer the onset of premature skin aging and help men maintain their best appearance for years to come.

This seriously scientific skin care routine is not just for baby boomers, but also for teenagers who want to have protected and healthy skin now and forever.

Before any treatments are performed, your spa pleasure begins with SpaHalekulani’s exclusive gentle foot pounding ritual. Your feet are first wrapped in fragrant, steaming towels, gently tapped with Polynesian bamboo (“ton ton” pounders), and finished with a light scent-ual misting.

The maile (pronounced my-lee) vine is their signature fragrance and is used in many of the products used in their treatments.

Each luxury spa treatment room is a spa suite, equipped with private steam showers. There is also a couples suite for couples treatments, with a Japanese-style furo tub.

Their SpaHalekulani Bridal Suite has two treatment beds, as well as an adjoining room for hair, manicure and pedicure stations. The day that I toured the spa, they were preparing for a bride and her attendants. They were all getting some type of treatment, as well as spa cuisine delivered to the suite. There is also an outdoor private lanai for those in between treatments.

Regular guests also can enjoy a private (lanai) spa terrace, separated by foliage, also allowing a view of Gray’s Beach known by the Hawaiians for its healing “Kawehewehe” waters.

They offer a Samoan massage that uses smooth stones wrapped in mulberry bark, and toning, revitalizing noni juice and a Signature spa treatment Polynesian Steam Therapy, inspired by Tongan traditions. After a gentle tapping-style massage to loosen the upper chest and back, this treatment envelops you in your own humidifying steam tent made of kapa cloth.

While your feet are pampered with reflexology, you inhale the lemony vapors of lemongrass, said to have antiseptic and skin-healing properties, along with earthy mists of kava root, said to ease anxiety and instill a profound calm, and eucalyptus to let you breath easy.

SpaHalekulani was developed by Sylvia Sepielli, operator of SPAd, (Sylvia Planning and Design). She has also overseen projects at The Mauna Lani Spa, on the Big Island, and Mii Amo at the Enchantment in Sedona, AZ as well as many spas in Japan & Asia.

SpaHalekulani was the first spa to fully explore the healing traditions of Hawaii’s diverse cultures, especially those from the Pacific Islands such as Samoa, Tonga and Tahiti. The Polynesian ambiance is abound – with sliding Japanese doors to the sandal-wood-scented massage beds.

The Royal Wedding, with all its hype and build-up, was a huge success. The Royal Couple, Prince William and Kate Middleton were married on April 29, 2011 with a luxurious, yet timeless tradition ceremony that goes far beyond words.

From the moment Catherine Middleton (Duchess of Cambridge) stepped out in front of London’s Westminster Abbey, her dress was what everybody began talking about.

The stunning ivory and lace gown wedding dress was designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.

The designer of the incredible wedding dress was a closely guarded secret. Many fashion industry experts predicted it would be Sarah Burton.

Royal Wedding officials were quoted, “Miss Middleton chose British brand Alexander McQueen for the beauty of its craftsmanship and its respect for traditional workmanship and the technical construction of clothing.”

The beautiful bride, Catherine Middleton looked incredible and her gown featured a plunging neckline and laced sleeves, which were created from individual flowers that were hand-cut from lace and placed onto the ivory silk.

Sarah Burton gained worldwide recognition after she was appointed creative director of Alexander McQueen, soon after the designer’s suicide back in 2010.

Burton had gained fashion industry praise for her own distinctive design style.

In a press statement, Sarah Burton states, “It has been the experience of a lifetime to work with Catherine Middleton to create her wedding dress, and I have enjoyed every moment of it. It was such an incredible honor to be asked, and I am so proud of what we and the Alexander McQueen team have created. I am delighted that the dress represents the best of British craftsmanship.”

Kate Middleton’s attractive sister, Philippa Charlotte “Pippa” Middleton, was the maid of honor in the Royal Wedding. Pippa also wore a beautiful dress designed by Sarah Burton.

Borghese skin care products

The harsh winter months can wreck havoc on one’s skin. During winter, it is very important to take care of your skin and rehydrate as your skin due to dry outdoor air.

The dryness of outdoor air makes one’s skin porous. As a result, its natural barrier function becomes compromised and your skin experiences increased water loss and becomes dry and uncomfortable.

To combat the dryness of your skin, you need to help keep it looking fresh and nourished.

One excellent solution is using a multi-purpose mask. The mask helps to nourish and replenish your dry skin with vital marine nutrients. For this, I would strongly recommend Borghese’s signature Acqua di Vita® Complex.

Leave the Borghese cream on for approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Next, wet a sponge or washcloth or you can also simply rinse with lukewarm water. For the best skin results, it’s recommended you follow this process at least once a week, or as needed.

ELÄVÄ Botanik

There are so many touted, so-called “luxury beauty” products on the market. Who can you trust and are you really getting your money’s worth?

ELÄVÄ Botanikk is a line of all natural shampoos and conditioners that give your hair both a healthy and beautiful look using only 100% organic ingredients.

The all natural and non-toxic shampoos and conditioners by Elava Botanik feature a complex blend of fruits, essential oils, in addition to other natural products that provide a luxurious treatment for hair using only the best ingredients that nature has to offer.

ELÄVÄ Botanik has successfully launched an exciting new line of hair care products that takes natural and organic to a new level.

Claiming to offer the only products in the world made with 100% natural, certified-organic fruit pulp, Elava Botanik feels it’s just as important what we put “on” our bodies be as pure and environmentally-responsible as what we put “in” our bodies.

Similar to fresh produce at your local grocery store, each bottle of Elava Botanik luxurious shampoo and conditioner is marked with a “Fresh Until” date.

Julian Huxley, who is a natural hair stylist and devoted the last 8 years personally developing the all natural beauty line states, “e’re proud of the fact that our products are perishable because this reflects our guarantee that they are made with only fresh, ripe, organic foods – It’s real food for truly beautiful hair.”

The word ELÄVÄ translates to “living” in Finish and its ingredients demonstrate the highest standards of purity—non-allergic and completely non-toxic, using no parabens, chlorides, petrochemicals, sulfates, glutens, plasticizers, silicones, or synthetic fragrances.

While traveling the world, Julian Huxley discovered the answers were surprisingly simple: Fruits, barks, tree oils, and ash were the common substrates. Huxley has honed the ELÄVÄ products, in his own kitchen for 8 years, based on this inspiring experience.

What further sets the ELÄVÄ Botanik hair-nutritive products apart is the use of whole, organic food, rather than botanical extracts, which are typical in even the best, high-end natural hair care products.
