J
une has always been a month of celebrations for me. Most of my friend's birthday are in June, followed by father's day and a lot of graduations. This month in our magazine we celebrate the new additions to our growing family of columnist with a section about fashion where different fashion designers would be writing every month about the latest trends and
collections. Also this month we have the pleasure of having in our cover one of the top spanish tv reporters Gloria Ordaz a cuban born woman with infinite talent who keeps taking challenges. For me, after the celebrations ended, it came the time to go to Spain to start a new project I'll be sharing with you in the coming months. It was a trip very different fom the others but sometimes
different is good and in this case it was great! It was a big surprise for me to discover how much my life and priorities have changed in the last two years and how important it is to celebrate the good in others, the good in one self and to celebrate and enjoy the moment we are living in right now because at the end, is the only thing that we really have.

The lips
are some of the erotic parts of our bodies
T
he lips are some of the erotic parts of our bodies. We use them to speak, when we eat and when we kiss and without intending to we transmit our femininity and sensuality. It begins with a good foundation. The lips too, are part of
our skin. They need moisture and a soft exfoliation. Try and keep your lips moisturized all the time especially when you are in extreme temperatures such as too hot or too cold. When you need to apply special make up exfoliate your lips with a small sponge or a brush
By Maria Laura Carrizo WEB PAGE : WWW.MLAURA.COM
Make up for Fine Lips For those who have finer lips and wish for them to look thicker, you can achieve this by a lip liner that is the same color of your natural lip. Line the lip from the center of the lips towards the outside and a little further part the natural lip line without noticing. Fill the lips with vertically and even them out with your finger without it reaching the ends of your lips. So you do not notice any lines, eliminate any lines with a smudger. Then, fill in the rest of your lip with the pencil. In the center of your lips apply a little more color and add lip gloss for shine.
Make Up for Large Lips First, define the contour of your lips with a pencil with a tone that matches your natural lip color then defuse the pencil with a small brush. The second beauty trick is large lips is painting your lips with a light color, for example a light beige. Add some light eye shadow, for example white or gold in the center of the lips to enhance the lips. Cover the lips in a shiny gloss. This beauty tip will allow the light to shine on your large lips The last beauty trick for large lips is to wet a fine brush and apply
a little rose colored shadow in the curve that forms the center of the top lip.
You have many options to fix your lips Products to give your lips a temporary plumping. These products contain substances that slightly irritate the lips and cause a is not drastic but it does help. You can use the temporary inflammation to them. The change is not drastic but it does help. You can use the product for special events. These types of lip plumping products come in lip crayon or gloss.
For Color Light color on the lips make it look like the lips are larger then they seem. The darker color make your lips look smaller.
Make up and Foundation for Lips This is a very old trick that gives great results! Cover the lips in foundation or corrector. This foundation or corrector can be made specifically for the lips or it can be the one you use on your skin. In the case the foundation should be a mate and think foundation. Later apply lip liner that
is the same shade of the your natural lip. Line the lips and then apply the lip crayon as usual. You can add gloss if you desire.
Fixing the contour of your Lips I recommend lining the outside of your natural lip line and later applying the lipstick so it appears that your lips are larger.
Lipliner Line your entire lip with a liner that is the same color of your natural lip color or of the same shade as the lipstick you intend to use. Begin by the edges of your lips and later fill them in with the liner all over the lip. Later, apply the lipstick as usual. The lip liner will have various functions, one of them is to create volume by adding another layer of makeup to the lip and the other function is to saturate your lip with the color. The lip liner applied all over the lip can also be used to match up the color of the lips. You can use this trick with foundation or corrector from the above tip.
Gloss Apply gloss over the lips so it attracts light and they appear larger.

These are some of the most common types of lip liner and lipstick Mate With its name its says it all. It has no shine or will have very little and gives a very opaque look. This type of pencil lasts the longest and has a great balance of pigments. Unfortunately the downside to this is that sometimes it will make the lips look cracked and many people believe that you can only use this type of lipstick if you have large lips but this is not true-- anyone can use it!
Creamy Lipsticks This is the most popular lipstick. This lipstick provides a more creamy and bright texture than the mate lipstick but are a lighter lipstick. For being creamy lipsticks they can also hydrate your lips but they also tend to not last as long as the mate lip stick.
Liquid Color They are liquid lipsticks or gelatinous and have much more shine then the creamy lipstick. They disadvantage is that they do not last long and you must be constantly reapplying them. This is recommended for finer lips.
Lipgloss Add almost there color and shine. They are ideal for people who not like to look too made up. Lipglosses do not last much time and can be used over the mate lip liner or the creamer lipstick to add some shine.
Durable Lipliner This a relatively new product and last many hours on the lips. It is formulated so that it dries out the lips and will effect the delicate skin that is the lips.
Special Lip Pencils In this category we are putting the lips to promise special benefits like how to make the lips look larger. This is by finding substances that temporarily inflate the lips and will make them look larger. They also over special lip pencils that have moisturizers. These are creamy lip pencils that have other ingredients such as vegetable wax or aloe. Since they have a creamier substance they do not last as long but do moisturize the lip.
What type of lip pencil is best for you There is not just one type of pencil that is best for you. The selection depends on the occasion and the type of message you wish to send across. If you have fine lips, avoid the mate lipsticks unless you will add gloss and if you have larger lips this type of mate pencil will help accentuate them. Try them all, it all depends on the color you use. Generally, lighter colors are used during the day and darker colors at night. The mate and creamy lipsticks offer more versatility and last longer while a gloss will add a sense of glamour and sensuality for the night time. iN

Do You Have TMD/TMJ? By Dr Marta Gainza TMD--Temporal Mandibular Dysfunction (commonly referred to as TMJ).
T
MD pain results from the inflammation of the facial muscles of mastication, and is commonly seen with patients that clench/brux/ grind their teeth. TMD/TMJ is a complex condition and a combination of several factors can contribute to TMD/ TMJ. This article will highlight only a few common contributing factors. On occasion, do you wake up with a headache? Does your spouse/partner tell you were grinding your teeth in your sleep (bruxing)? At the end of a stressful day, does it seem as if you cannot close your mouth comfortably? Or, have you noticed you cannot open your jaw comfortably? Are you becoming aware that you are tensing up your jaw/face during the day (clenching)? Does your jaw pop, click, or get stuck when you open and close your mouth? Have you been breaking your teeth? Have you been breaking your dental work?
Are the tips of your front teeth chipping? Are your front teeth shorter now than they were some years back? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should have a consult appointment with your dentist to evaluate and address the symptoms that may be indicative you have TMD. These symptoms can either be acute (recent) or chronic (long term). Breaking teeth and breaking dental work may be a result of other causes, and therefore a proper dental assessment is recommended. The masticatory system is dynamic system. It is an amazing design. In an ideal oral health condition, there is what I describe to my patients as a "Zen" balance of the mouth/jaw. It's the harmony and balance of the masticatory system. The design of our sensory innervation for the masticatory system is astonishing.
Your mouth is engineered to sense the very slightest thing... What do I mean by that? Have you ever been eating and suddenly notice something was in your food that did not belong? And, when you figured out what it was, it may have been a tiny grain, an almost microscopic piece of bone, or a piece of shellfish that you could barely see. You are sensory designed to perceive it!
So how does this relate to bruxing, clenching, and pain? Your teeth and jaw are meant to comfortably fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Unconsciously, your body is trying to get your jaw to seat into a comfortable resting position. So, if you are clenching or bruxing your teeth, what is occurring, in a sense, is a tug of war amongst your muscles of mastication. When you unconsciously perceive that the teeth are trying to interlock, your muscles will start a cascade of contractions in an attempt to seat your jaw into a comfortable position. When the fatigue and inflammation of the muscles build up, the patient will start to feel discomfort and pain as the facial muscles fight against each other.
denture. By replacing the tooth, drifting of adjacent teeth is avoided. Sometimes the teeth are crowded or mal-postioned and orthodontic treatment is recommended.
The forces of the contracting muscles are enough to wear teeth, break teeth, fillings, and over the long term can result in irreversible damage to the TMJ (aka; Jaw Joint, Temporal Mandibular Joint). Bruxing and clenching in many cases can be attributed to stress or to your bite. Malocclusion, or improper tooth position, can also contribute to TMD/TMJ. When a tooth has to be removed, in most cases, your dentist will advise you to replace it with an implant, bridge, or partial denture.
When your dentist determines that you are bruxing/clenching they will recommend an Occlusal Guard (aka; Night Guard). It is lab created and specifically designed to fit your teeth and bite. Usually it is made in a manner to reduce the perception of the opposing teeth interlocking. Therefore, it prevents the cascade of muscle contractions that can unconsciously take place when the teeth are perceived to be interlocking. As the muscles relax, the symptoms tend to improve. Occlusal Guards are made of a hard acrylic. Eventually, over time a patient will damage and destroy their Occlusal Guard requiring a new one be made. There are store products made of a rubbery material that patient sometimes confuse as functioning the same. Because the rubbery material can actually trigger a chewing reflex it can actually further fatigue the muscles. Some insurance policies will pay a portion of the cost to fabricate an Occlusal Guard. If you think (or know) you are clenching/bruxing/grinding you teeth, see your dentist. Have a full evaluation to
determine the cause to your symptoms. If an Occlusal Guard is recommended, have it made. Early intervention is best. There is a saying in Spanish “ojo que no ve, corazon que no siente”….loosely translated “eye that does not see, heart that does not feel”. As dentists, we have seen the results due to long term bruxing and the damage it can do. When we recommend an Occlusal Guard to a patient, it is because we have already seen the potential damage in other patients. Whenever possible, protect the teeth you have. iN

The Outer Shield
By Hugo Romeu, M.D. www.romeuclinical.com
A
colleague of mine who is familiar with the work of my practice first laughed when I told him that I wanted to write about wrinkles. This is what 8 years of graduate and post graduate education, along with 31 years of experience led to. The way you see anything is altered by the depth of your perception. The familiar line, a little information is dangerous, is not as lethal as taking simple truth for granted.
The purpose of my career is to better the lives of my patients. It is rare to actually save anyone’s life, or radically alter the course of a disease, but it is possible to offer advice and alternatives that can improve the quality of someone’s life. The more time I reflect on the most common concerns of my patients, friends and family, the more I realize that the most obvious apprehensions stare us in the face. A physician by vocation is more than just a health care provider. We are there to listen to all the concerns of our patients. They all come for a well fitness check, or a physical concern; but during their visit many topics are discussed. Some talk about their kids, husbands, friends or perhaps their job. After 31 years of practicing medicine and multitasking in the arena, I have
come to the conclusion that all of my patients have a few things in common, eventually. Time seems to create common denominators. As a young scientist the hunger to understand complex issues seemed to obscure simple realities. One of the first systems a medical student must learn is the Integumentary System. This is a fancy way of saying the skin. The skin is in fact the largest organ of the body; it is our shield and filter from the outer world. When one’s patient grows older, and one follows in the same path, the way you look becomes a source of insecurity. Common knowledge shows us that new relationships, jobs and interpersonal experience is pendant on how one projects is visualized. In the end one word means so much to describe a common problem in self perception, and first impressions; ’wrinkle’. Have you ever lost
The new knowledge about the cellular make up of our form leads to a complex vision of the human of the human body. Just a few blocks from my home is a street that bears the name of a journeyman; an adventurer dedicated to the pursuit of eternal youth. Ponce de Leon thought he found spring waters in Florida that led to eternal youth. In this same area today there a score of plastic surgeons offering procedures to restore youth. Ads and billboards entice passerbies to seek professional help to look younger. Over the years facets of my practice have been dedicated to understanding cellular structure and function. In fact much of my time has been dedicated to consulting other physicians. So the book that follows is the attempt of a physician to deal with a very common and universal issue: we all age. That does not mean we have to take a passive stance and just allow the normal physiologic process to move forward at a rapid pace. Somehow or another, all roads lead to self confidence. One reflects a self image by the way you walk, talk and communicate. The skin is what we see when glancing at a person. We don’t see the heart, lungs or kidneys, but the skin. We should never underestimate the complexity and importance of the outer shield. The eyes are the window of the soul, and the skin is our protection, mediator of sense, and regulator of energy. The way you look is the composite of so many factors. Independent of each factor there are common variables to adjust the outer reflection, the shield, the skin. Well, this is how I feel about writing this book. My job as a physician is to ponder and study how to help my patients deal with their concerns. It’s not just a com-
mon cold, or belly ache that I deal with daily. My concerns are no different than any of theirs. Not only are we all concerned about how we feel physically and emotionally, we all wonder if we look our best. For the last several years there has been a tendency to explore alternative ways to assist patients. The evidence of aging appears in a unique fashion depending on the individual composition and exposure of each person. Some people display the evidence of the calendar at an early age, while others look younger than their years. A true mystery, one that is being solved in incremental steps as we speak. The process of aging is a complex and multifaceted; time affects every cell and system differently. The evidence of age is visible and proportional to the life expectancy of the cells which make up each organ. For example, red blood cells live for 120 days. The younger cell is nucleated; the mature is biconcave, while the older is fragile a n d stiff. T h e experienced eye can see the difference. The cells which make up the epithelium, or outer coat of skin, live for 30 days. There is constant birth and death of cells throughout ones en-
tire life. Yet one displays the change of years in slow motion. So, the reader can see that a simple wrinkle is really the unique display of cellular break downs, manifested in a line on the surface of the largest organ of the body, the skin. This is why a scientist has taken interest in the mundane worries produced by vanity. In the book to follow we will look at the structure and function of the skin and later discuss the many manifestations of aging. We will also discuss some simple solutions to masking and treating the common problems which all of us encounter, if we live long enough. iN

Mediation: The Friendly Way to Divorce By Damary Valle, Esq.
A
s a family law attorney, people ask me all the time “Why does divorce have to be so acrimonious, take so long, and cost so much?” I tell them “it doesn’t have to.” Many couples are opting for a friendly divorce through the use of mediation. The emotional and financial benefits far outweigh any advantage from “fighting it out” in court. A well-trained Florida Supreme Court Certified Mediator can assist you in pursuing a friendly divorce and will assist you in creating an atmosphere of trust and open negotiation. Mediation is the process of coming to an agreement with the help of a thirdparty neutral, a mediator. The mediator will assist the divorcing couple who wants to cooperate to reach an amicable agreement. Marriage settlement agreements address
property and debt division, parental responsibilities (timesharing, shared parental responsibility), child support, and spousal support (alimony), as well as taxes, health insurance, and life insurance. Mediation has many benefits that can provide a positive outcome and experience for both the divorcing couple and their children. Mediation is far less costly than hiring an attorney. It is proven to be less stressful and enable couples to discuss family issues in a positive environment and can become less of a negative impact on children. Let's face it, divorce can take an emotional toll on you, your spouse and the children. However, with proper planning and a desire to reach an agreement, you and your spouse can achieve harmony, fairness and mutual iN respect.....

El Señorial: Take a trip to Peru, without ever leaving Miami! By Sergio Naser
E
l Señorial is a ceviche bar and restaurant that serves authentic Peruvian cuisine, in a newly renovated location, complete with ample lighting and fresh food.
Located on 1750 SW 3rd Ave. El Señorial is a Peruvian restaurant featuring typical Peruvian dishes, from ceviche to lomo saltado or steak stir fry, as well as other grilled favorites, such as churrasco or flank steak and chuleta de cerdo or pork chops. The location has been in business for almost 10 years and has been completely renovated in anticipation of their coming 10th anniversary. El Señorial features a well rounded menu; beyond their Peruvian dishes, they also have a selection of chicken, beef, and a long list of seafood specialties. They have just completed their brand new ceviche bar, which allows customers to see ceviche prepared before their very eyes, similar to a sushi bar. The taste of their ceviche is very refreshing; after coming inside from a hot Miami day, it was quite the treat to bite into fresh slices of fish and calamari, marinated in lemon. A kick of spicy flavor brought me back from my daydream breeze, as i savored a hint of red chili in this tasty dish called ceviche mixto.
Their menu also features many fried delicacies, such as many types of deep friend seafood. Some of these dishes include fried shrimp, squid, and octopus, with one dish called the jalea mixta, which contains all of these deep fried delicacies, served on one mixed plate. Their list of desserts ranges from the usual flan and 4 leches, to Peruvian desserts, such as helado de lucuma, which is ice cream made from the lucuma fruit.
Ceviche Bar
One drink in particular called chica morada, is a common Peruvian drink that can be found throughout most homes in Peru; equivalent to a sort of "Peruvian Lemonade." Being quite bitter, it caught me by surprise, but also tasted quite familiar. It turns out that this drink is made with cinnamon, which gives it a very different flavor. For those who really like the taste of cinnamon, this is definitely a must try.

Hot Chip
In Our Hearts
I
n our Hearts can be the best thing We've heard from the electro pop band Hot Chip. More Confident, More Dance and More Joyous with lots of eighties synth pop material as well as tons of groovy funks rhythms, the british quintet come back with their fifth album more mature, with a knowledge that makes them enjoying more not only life but their own music. In our Hearts is a proof that Hot Chip has not only succeed in their consistently music career as well as they have learned the songwriting process with mix of delightful melodies and well produced structures. Totally Contagious!
John Mayer Born and Raised
I
n his previous album, Battle Studies, edited in 2009, John Mayer was not only in a relationship with Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson but with a new affair called pop Music. In this one, in the other hand, looks like he has learned some moves from another ex, the country singer, Taylor Swift who apparently this time broke his heart. Influenced by the teenager, Born and Raised can be classified in the Country section in Music Stores, If they are still any. In his first single, "Shadow Days" Mayer tries to make us believe He's a good guy with lyrics that says "I'm a good man with a good heart", literally. The album conquers one more time with his extremely warm and luscious voice but lacks of variety.
