full eyebrows, dewy lips ON Local expert shines a light on beauty trends

by Selby

F

THE GO!

or this spring, hot trends are on beautiful full eyebrows and dewy lips.

I have found eyebrow quick-fixes that are musthaves to choose from.

Beautiful brows start by having a shape that contours your eyes. This is a total necessity. The best way to start this strategy is to start with an experienced aesthetician.

I’m leaning toward recommending being aware of where you go. Places that do not specialize in aesthetics but do brows may not always be your safest choice. There is a lot of information out there to take in, but when searching for your most secure solution, your best bet is to go with a skin

care pro that you visit regularly or have been referred to.

Don’t forget the grow-in tactic. There are quick fix-it makeup remedies that can help the look while they grow. I always look for paraben-free and junk-free, which can be challenging in makeup. The top three choices are: • SmartBrow, a liquid tint with a brush that comes in a lighter and a darker shade. It has a semi- permanent stain that fuses into the hairs and, with the brush application allows a perfect shaping.

• Super brow definers are liquid tints and a bit less expensive but work really well for fill-in and good contouring capabilities.

• Eyebrow smart kits. Look for Continued on page 8

the formulated brow press powders, paraben-free, of course. Eyebrow contour shadows with the actual must-have brow brush applicator. It’s well worth getting the brush. Even though it may not fit in the perfect little smart kit.

This covers fill-in. Any of these are a good remedy to help with rehab, growing in and better-defining brows. A quick fix to help keep the beauty in your eyes.

The next beauty trend that seems to be going strong is smoothing natural stains and lip glosses. I prefer when there’s a hint of mint or tea tree. There are several paraben-free and junk-free lip remedies to choose from. Also, lip balms with alpha hydroxies microscopically shed the outer layers and bring out fresh new skin revealing youthful smiles. My top choices include: • Tarte Lip Surgence, which has a vast variety of colors to choose from.

• Epicuren has just launched its new formula for a natural lip salve with a hint of mint and SPF to protect.

• Sugar, great stain colors; I like the scrub for a bit of exfoliating. These are nurturing and have a great taste .

A benefit that seems to be making a lot of noise is the trend in home skincare masks. Many of the top skin-care lines are carrying them now. For nurturing and hydrating, look for these ingredients: collagen, enzyme and bio peptide remedies. Lathering a layer in the shower a couple of times a week will help all that you do with your regular facials and skin-care regime. It will make your home care products last recognizably longer.

Along with these beauty tips, take the time to drink more water, put on sun screen and enjoy Ventura’s beautiful weather. fhb Selby is a local beauty expert and adviser at Skin Elixir at 705 E. Main St. in Ventura.

How To Get Rid Of Knee Pain Once And For All...

Without Drugs, Shots, or Surgery Now, in Ventura, CA, one doctor is helping local residents with knee pain live more active, pain-free lives.

[

]

Do You Have Any of the Following Conditions?

• Arthritis • Cartilage damage • Tendonitis • Crunching & • Knee pain • Bon-on-bone • Bursitis popping sounds

Living with knee pain can feel like a crippling experience. Let’s face it, your knees aren’t as young as they used to be, and playing with the kids or grandkids isn’t any easier either. Maybe your knee pain keeps you from walking short distances or playing golf like you used to.

Nothing’s worse than feeling great mentally, but physically feeling held back from life because your knee hurts and the pain just won’t go away!

My name is Dr. Ruby Kevala, owner of Kevala Chiropractic. Since we opened, we’ve seen many people with knee problems leave the office pain free.

If you’re suffering from these conditions, a new breakthrough in medical technology may completely eliminate your pain and help restore normal function to your knees.

Finally, An Option Other Than Drugs or Surgery.

The Cold Laser is an outpatient, non-surgical procedure, often used in physical therapy and sports medicine to accelerate the healing process. It offers non-invasive treatment to promote healing for those who suffer from pain in muscles, nerves, and joints, like that associated with chronic knee pain. This same laser is used by professional sports teams including the New York Yankees and Cincinnati Bengals.

It Promotes Rapid Healing Of The Injured Tissues.

This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, providing pain relief and reducing injury damage.

This leading edge technology has an impressive success rate of returning patients to work, sports and competitive activities, as well as everyday life. Patients treated with the Cold Laser often show a higher level of function, both during and after the treatment period. The therapeutic laser provides a tremendous alternative for those facing surgery.

Could This Non-Invasive, Natural Treatment Be The Answer To Your Knee Pain?

For the First 25 Callers Only, I’m running a very special offer where you can find out if you are a candidate for Cold Laser therapy.

What does this offer include? Everything I normally do in my “Knee Pain Evaluation”. Just call and here’s what you’ll get…

• An in-depth consultation about your problem where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case.

• A complete neuromuscular examination.

• A thorough analysis of your exam findings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain free.

• You’ll see everything first hand and find out if this amazing treatment will be your pain solution, like it has been for so many other patients.

The First 25 Callers Only can get everything I’ve listed here for only $60. The normal price for this type of evaluation is $450, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer. Remember what it was like before you had knee problems; when you were pain free and could enjoy everything life had to offer? It can be that way again. Don’t neglect your problem any longer – don’t wait until it’s too late.

Here’s what to do now:

Due to the expected demand for this special offer, I urge you to call our office at once. The phone number is 805-650-0495.

Call today and we can get started with your consultation and exam as soon as there’s an opening in the schedule. Our office is located at 4125 Market St., Stes. 6 & 7, in Ventura, Ca. Tell Laura you’d like to come in for the Knee Evaluation.

Yours in Health, Ruby Kevala, D.C.

P.S. Now you might be wondering…

“Is this safe? Are there any side effects or dangers to this?”

The FDA cleared the first Cold Laser in 2002. This was after their study found 76% improvement in patients with pain. Their only warning – don’t shine it in your eyes.

Of course at our office, the laser is never anywhere near your eyes and we’ll give you a comfortable pair of goggles for safety.

Don’t wait and let your knee problems get worse, disabling you for life. Take me up on my offer and call today 805-650-0495.

in good mental HEALTH The healing power of meditation holds strong for locals

MEDITATION MOUNT IN OJAI

“We’re doing the same things that happen to one person with meditative energy, as you get calmer and more focused and compassionate, and taking that energy and sharing that with the world. So the world becomes more compassionate, calmer, more focused and in harmony.”

— Meditation Mount Director Ellen Hall

M

editation is increasingly accepted for improving people’s quality of life. A growing body of research shows it can be useful for alleviating physical and mental health issues affecting millions of people, such as anxiety. Here in Ventura County, there are numerous opportunities to learn a variety of meditation techniques.

Perched on a scenic hilltop with views of the Ojai Valley and surrounding mountains, Meditation Mount offers a path toward connection with the earth and everything alive. People of all faiths are welcome to walk through the International Garden of Peace.

It features lawns, benches, lily ponds and other subtle reminders about the importance of easing up on the fast pace of modern life.

Classes on meditation and other topics are also offered in the Tibetan-style auditorium.

Director Ellen Hall says the main focus is service to humanity. “We are invoking the spiritual energy and then applying that to the world. We’re doing the same things that happen to one person with meditative energy, as you get calmer and more focused and compassionate, and taking that energy and sharing that with the world. So the world becomes more compassionate, calmer, more focused and in harmony,” says Hall.

Many churches offer group meditation and instruction. One at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Ventura follows the mindfulness teachings of Buddhist Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. The Ventura Center for Spiritual Living offers help with several meditation techniques. One focuses people on the importance of practicing acts of kindness CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

and generosity toward others.

Among the best known meditation techniques is transcendental meditation, sometimes referred to as TM. It’s been popularized by celebrities, including actor Russell Brand and the Beatles, who learned it from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in India.

TM is a simple form of meditation performed silently while seated comfortably, with closed eyes. It involves a personalized mantra, and is meant to create restful awareness and transcendental consciousness.

Learning TM from a certified instructor costs hundreds of dollars, but it’s sometimes offered free to veterans or students at schools affected by violence. Some people believe it helps with serious health disorders, including high blood pressure and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Robert Milota is the director of the Ventura County Transcendental Meditation Program. Milota says studies have proven its effectiveness. “It has very profound results and benefits,” says Milota. “That’s been well documented.

There are hundreds of studies verifying how TM is different from any other technique.” fhb

Safety is given top priority with this exercise. Fear subsides, giving way to trust in self and the professionally rigged equipment. You’re never far from the ground since the straps are customized according to your height plus a few inches to make you hover over the floor from a safe distance. Carabiners keep the straps safely anchored, and the hammock acts as a built-in spotter, but still allows you to challenge your balance while building strength.

Using the looped silk just as the trained professionals you see in the circus do, the assistance and resistance provided by the hammock help you find muscles you never knew you had and take advantage of deeper stretches than you ever imagined. When was the last time you did a handstand? With the help of the silks and a creative intertwining of your legs, that handstand that seemed impossible becomes a reality. It’s one of Lopez’s clients’ favorite exercises.

“They love the inversions — hanging

16 — Ventura County Fitness, Health & Beauty Guide — 2014

upside down,” Lopez said. Leveraging the strength and safety of the silk straps against the weight and support of your own body makes these gravity-defying moves a cinch. Another simple pose on the hammock allows for a deep backbend with arms wide open and floating.

These inversions take away joint pressure, decompress the spine, bring blood-flow to the brain and allow tension in hips, back and neck to melt away.

More challenging moves get the heart rate up and build strength, like the handstand push-up, which targets chest and shoulder muscles that a simple floor push-up can’t begin to tackle. Core work is central to most of the choreography, building tighter abs and a strong healthy back. For some, yoga can seem boring and nondymanic, but yoga suspended up in the air makes for a thrilling and fluid workout.

All fitness levels can experience the pure grace and freedom of movement of a professional aerial ballerina. But make no mistake, sore muscles the next day will remind you this is an intense workout. fhb
