A RENEWED SPIRIT

from New York Lifestyles Magazine April 2023 Dr. Naeemah Ruffin

HISTORIC NEW ENGLAND FARMHOUSE

Now that Springtime has arrived in full bloom, we can start enjoying a renewal to enjoy all things outdoors. For some of us, it means donning your baseball cap and hopping the subway to our favorite stadium in the Bronx to catch the Bombers. For others it’s taking the #7 to CitiField in Queens to cheer on the Amazin’ Mets for another season of highs and lows. Either way (or both), it’s a time to enjoy records broken, stolen bases, and catching a fly ball. We’re still hoping for a World Series with these champs!

As you know, at New York Lifestyles we share the voices of those who combine their wisdom, lessons, and life experiences with the hope that their journeys will make you change. In short, it’s what this issue is all about. It’s about living well and living long. Even capturing those special moments, too. We introduce you to two incredibly talented leaders in their field.

First, Dr. Naeemah Ruffin who is also known as The Face Fitness Doctor. Her journey into face fitness started when she noticed how her face had aged. While she realized Botox and injectables were the answer for some—she longed for a solution that worked with her body. This began her search for a natural solution to a more youthful appearance. So instead, she started a facial exercise routine. The results were so good, she fine-tuned her Face Enhancing Fitness Program and started working with clients—and created her company, Bellantz Skincare.

Next, meet motivational artist, Billy Alsbrooks, who shines the light for millions of people across the world. The profound advice of one man inspires them every single day to be the best version of themselves. His YouTube following is phenomenal with powerful messages on ways to reach success. Billy reaches all—including celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs who are serious about success. His book Blessed and Unstoppable: Your Blueprint for Success is must-read.

There we have it! Another issue of incredible interviews, new restaurants, getaways to escape near and far, and arts & entertainment. I hope you find this April issue informative and entertaining.
