Repair Summer Damage In summer, hair and skin are radiant with the sun-kissed look of beachside days, afternoons on the boat and nights of outdoor fun. But UV rays and ocean breezes take a toll. Repair summer damage by taking care of skin and hair now, so you’ll be ready for fall and back-to-school. Skin, tanned and recovering from sunburns, is sorely dehydrated come August. Moisturize regularly with a replenishing body lotion (Aveda has a great, all-natural one) to restore suppleness with a blend of vitamins, natural humectants and oils. For the face, choose moisturizers specifically formulated for sensitive skin and that are fragrance-free. You can also keep your summer glow with a moisturizing bronzing cream. Toward the end of summer hair can lose its shine due to a buildup of sea salt, chlorine and the sun’s hot rays which notoriously bleach out color and shine. Wash hair regularly with a gentle cleanser that’s designed to flush out these toxins. Although hair masks can help add moisture, new in-salon botanicals by Aveda are powerful, plantpowered treatments that penetrate strands for intense moisture. They also repair hair with customized therapies. These are wonderful and accompanied by deep, spa-like restorative scalp massages. Your hair will look healthier and shiny, and best of all your hair will be ready to take on the rich tones of fall.

Fall fashion and beauty are inspired by the eclectic vibe of urban streetwear combined with the elegance of classic dance. Fluid forms shimmer in textured golds and bright coppers that delight in unexpected prints as worn by our models in graceful arabesque. This seasons Style in Motion collection truly takes shape with our backdrop, North Shore Studio of Dance and The Spirit of Huntington art center located in the old south Huntington library.

Deep side parts, sideswept looks that are shoulder-length capture the spotlight. “This season, inspiration comes from 1950s and ‘60s glamour updated with urban, city chic,” said Adriana Vater, co-founder and creative director of Spa Adriana in Huntington. “Hair and makeup are elegantly playful. Colors are rich, dimensional, soft, and sophisticated. For the face the focus is on a fresh palette and bright, bold lips.” Colors emulate the warmer tones of fall.

Blue Water Adventures in Isla Mujeres
Situated eight miles offshore from Cancun on the northeast corner of the Yucatan Peninsula and 90 miles from Cuba, Isla Mujeres offers some of the world’s best sailfishing and a whole lot more. This beachy seaside locale with a laid-back vibe was named one of the best sailfish destinations by Marlin magazine. On a clear morning 18 miles North of Isla Mujeres, a group of frigates comes into view, as the boats move closer the dorsal of two sailfish as they slice through the water and their target becomes apparent. The sailfish have gathered sardines into a tight spiraling ball and are in a feeding frenzy. We circle the scene and slow the boat to let our baits sink into the middle of the melee and instantly line starts peeling of the port short line. Game on! Later, we decide to play another game with the deep blue sea: we pull in the lines, put on our snorkel gear and grab a camera for a swim with the sailfish. Everywhere we look are sailfish, swarms of bait balls and the majestic beauty of the warm Atlantic waters. As one of the most acrobatic and spectacular of the big game fishes, sails are known for their speed and aerial displays on the line, but when you see them working together underwater like a wolf pack, herding their prey into tight bait balls and slicing away at the sardines with their bills that the real speed, the agility and acrobatics
of these amazing fish become fully evident. The bright displays of color flashed by the sailfish when feeding are truly amazing. Ecotourism travel agency Ceviche Tours has specialized in these kinds of ecotourism adventures to the Yucatan and Isla Mujeres, Mexico since 2007. Ceviche Tours works with the people of Isla Mujeres to preserve the local culture and maintain the integrity and beauty of the surrounding marine environment. In addition to sailfishing and sport fishing charters, Ceviche Tours offers excursions to swim with whale sharks, the largest fish in the ocean. Guests of Ceviche Tours can also explore the culture of the ancient Mayans with guided tours of Mayan ruins and fantastic archaeological sites. Take an air conditioned van deep into the lush green hills of Mexico to the historic site of Ek Balam, one of the oldest Mayan cities of the Yucatan, and discover the mysteries of the Mayan culture. Take a tour of Chichen-Itza, then travel through time with a visit of Tulum with its breathtaking views of the Caribbean sea. www.cevichetours.com info@cevichetours.com Phone (US): 631-470-6315 International: 011 52 998 241 3345

The Golden Rule For Investment Assurance:
Make Good Choices With Your Hardscape Project
later dates. Most contractors are only too willing to follow through in phases, knowing they have secured at the very least, a start-up work order. Ask to see a portfolio and samples along with long-range details. LESSON 3 Adding value with a single-source brand As part of your contractor interview Q & A, be sure to inquire about alliances with manufacturers, product knowledge and training. Cambridge for instance, is a nationally recognized producer of many types of hardscape materials, which comprises coordinated pavers backed by a fully transferrable, lifetime warranty, wall systems and outdoor patio components. LESSON 4 Fall can be the best time to negotiate You may be able to secure budget-friendly pricing now while many contractors are looking to finish up their year by booking a reasonable number of projects before winter sets in. Back in the seventies and eighties — hardscaping’s evolving years — do-it-yourselfers took on tasks like installing paver walkways, small patios and even modest-sized driveways. These were often considered viable weekend projects. According to info.houzz.com, recent home purchases are triggering major outdoor project undertakings. The breadth of products and outpouring of design ideas combined with the number of solutions-based alternatives to traditional pavements and landscape walls have changed that early D.I.Y. dynamic considerably causing grounds for even the most readily challenged homeowners to rely on professional resources. LESSON 1 Choosing the right installer In the best of circumstances, selecting a contractor can be a daunting charge. Although a relatively new installer may have what appears to be a fresh design perspective, in most cases it is the seasoned pro who has the most references that fit your project criteria and by experience, knows the do’s and don’ts of the industry. Balancing what strikes your fancy and what instills confidence can make or break short-term results and long-term investment return. I’m passing along some basic lessons to
guide you along the way. A professional contractor who specializes in their construction should install interlocking concrete pavements. Contractors can also show you the range of colors, shapes and pattern options available from top manufacturers. Plus, having the right equipment and materials at hand, allows them to do a high-quality job quickly and safely. LESSON 2 Timing can make a difference With hardscaping, a “big picture” landscape makeover can be accomplished in small phases without compromising quality and continuity. Advanced planning will avoid unexpected roadblocks as you expand the space(s) and move along toward the finished project. You can begin with a modest 100 sq. ft. patio of Cambridge Pavingstones with lasting ArmorTec® colors that will provide adequate room for backyard lounging, hosting small gatherings and/or creating an outdoor lifestyle that suits your fancy in the initial stage. Adjacent areas with an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, a spa or pool can be added in succession in years to follow because, when properly forecasted, everything will be well-matched at
Let “back-to-school” month motivate you to do your homework. A good book to start with is a complementary Outdoor Living Guide available from any authorized Cambridge distributor.
Charles H. Gamarekian is the Chairman/CEO of Cambridge Pavers Inc., manufacturers of Cambridge Pavingstones with ArmorTec®. He is one of the founders and a current board member of the Interlocking Pavement Institute. Mr. Gamarekian is recognized worldwide as an expert in his field and is a frequent speaker on the topic of proper installation of pavingstones and wallstones as well as on the many rewards of Outdoor Lifestyling™ with Cambridge products and outdoor living room components through numerous public, print and broadcast media venues.
