The power of authenticity is the theme of a festival designed to celebrate and empower women in business.

WOW Festival Spring Event will take place over two Saturdays on May 24 and May 31 at The Derby – St Pancras Meetings & Events, London. Called I’m Authentic – Sprint into Action, the event will take women on a journey of introspection, reflection and connection – helping them understand themselves better so they can express who they really are and connect with others in an authentic way.

Over the two days, there will be powerful talks by trailblazing thought leaders, expert-led workshops and opportunities to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs. And it forms part of a wider festival by WOW Women of Worth, which will conclude with a closing party in Naples, Italy from June 28 to July 1.

Marianna Penna, WOW’s founder and the event organiser, said: “It’s time to regain the real meaning of being authentic. Authenticity means many things to people, but it is something which belongs to you and helps you understand who you are.

“Most of us have experienced self-doubt and feared the judgment of others. But if you own your vulnerability, it becomes your superpower and makes you absolutely unstoppable.”

This spring’s festival is just part of the work carried out by WOW Women of Worth, a platform created to promote women and women-led businesses in the UK and Italy. Marianna came up with the idea of WOW during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 because she wanted to use her extensive marketing experience to showcase and inspire women who didn’t know how to grow their businesses.

Marianna, who is Italian but has lived in London for 24 years, describes WOW as a ‘marketing spa’, nurturing women-led businesses and giving them space to thrive and grow. She has 25 years’ experience in marketing and is the G100 Italy Chair for the Marketing and Brand Creation Wing.

She said: “The pandemic was a particularly challenging time, and I wanted to show women with businesses how social media could help them get to the next level. Now it has evolved into a marketing spa, where women can nurture the seeds of their business so it bears fruit.

“I see it as a space where women can unwind, meditate and connect with their inner self, getting clarity on their vision, mission and values. Then it’s time to hit the metaphorical gym and put their strategy into action.

“When women own their stories, step into their potential, and build brands that reflect who they truly are, they don’t just create businesses—they create legacies.”

From assessing your personal definition of success to understanding the legalities of business ownership while in service, this book is a resource for anyone in the military considering the entrepreneurial path. It not only explores viable business options but also emphasizes the ongoing contributions these ventures can provide to the military community.

In “Boots, Suits, and Startups,” Thomas shares how he has helped numerous servicemembers start, grow, and exit their businesses to supplement their income, build a legacy, or apply their military skills in new ways.  

When asked about his inspiration to write the book, Thomas stated, “As business brokers, my wife and I have firsthand experience managing businesses while on active duty. We have grown our net worth through multiple ventures while serving our country. Our experiences, challenges, and successes have inspired us to share our knowledge and help others in the military community explore the vast potential of business ownership.” 

He added, “Your definition of success is unique to you and could be long-term business growth, the need to replace an income, or even helping your spouse take control of a portion of their ordinarily hectic life. However, the path to success may not be straightforward. Many fear that the military structure may not support business ownership due to potential conflicts of interest and time commitments. This book will dispel your fears and misconceptions about entrepreneurship while on active duty.”

Thomas’s expertise stems from over 16 years of active United States Air Force duty. He is also a business broker and entrepreneur, giving him a unique, valuable perspective on business ownership and sales. Thomas is an advocate and mentor for entrepreneurial-minded servicemembers.

Located in the stunning seaside town of Wijk aan Zee (Netherlands), Puur Zee Boutique Hotel & Restaurant is renowned for its exquisite seafood dining and high-end hospitality. Partnered with Puurwijn.shop, an award-winning wine import and education platform, it offers a holistic experience that marries fine dining with wine culture. The vision is simple: to help their guests live richer, happier and more mindful lives by embracing the art of wine and food.

Whether through exclusive wine selections, a wine club membership, tailored wine courses (on- and offline), a lifestyle coaching program or upcoming immersive retreats, Puur Zee and Puurwijn.shop are partners for their guests and clients in enhancing both their lifestyle and well-being.

They offer an opportunity to experience that wine is more than just a beverage: It’s a lifestyle, a mindfulness practice, and a gateway to enriching life experiences.

Sommelier, wine ambassador and (co-)owner Cathy Moerdijk uses the “wine factor” to enable her guests, clients and community members to enjoy the life fully and to follow their passions and dreams. She believes that mastering the art of tasting wine can improve their mental and physical well-being, elevate their social interactions, and transform their perspective on life.

At Puurwijn.shop, Cathy fosters a community of like-minded individuals who value the finer things in life. By joining the wine club, wine enthusiasts enjoy exclusive tastings, meet-the-winemaker events, and educational workshops that expand their wine knowledge while connecting them with others who share their passion.

As Cathy Moerdijk puts it, “Wine is not just about tasting; it’s about caring, sharing, and appreciating the beauty of life.” With her personalized wine consultancy and wine culture education, she helps business professionals gain the confidence to stand out at any social gathering or business dinner.

As experienced mentors of hundreds of successful people in the business, Cathy and her husband, Imko Binnerts, the award-winning Master Chef of Puur Zee Restaurant, are looking forward to supporting especially young professionals and graduates in upcoming retreats with warm and passionate, embracing hospitality as “modern elders”.

Up-and-coming designers have created clothes that include: a corset made from Christmas ribbons; a dress made from reels of crocheted VHS tapes; gloves made from Stella McCartney shoes, and a dress made from discarded equine equipment and plumbing hardware.

The thought-provoking event has been organised as part of Sustainable Fashion Week to highlight the hidden impact of fashion on the planet.

Dr Emily Connally is founder of the Cherwell Collective – a community organisation with a £1 million National Lottery grant – the driving force behind the fashion show.

“82% of fashion currently ends up in landfill or incinerated – there are piles of clothes that can be seen from space. Many people wear clothes only two or three times before they buy something else. You can instead make the choice to share swap or repair clothes or buy in surplus shops. If everyone was to wear their clothes twice as often, we could cut carbon emissions dramatically,” she said.

Diverse cultural groups are collaborating for the event including Iraqi Women Art and War (IWAW), OXFAM, Oxford University’s international philanthropic organisation Multaka, and City of Oxford College, as well as emerging and award-winning fashion designers.

Designer Molliemae Cox (22), who has crocheted a dress made from VHS and cassette tapes, for the show, said: “I wound up the tapes into little balls before I crocheted the bodice and sleeves. People are quick to throw things away: they forget that can reuse things and give them a new life.”

Blenheim is the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, providing a majestic setting for iconic fashion collections from designers such as Christian Dior and Yves St Laurent over the years.

Guests to the fashion show have all been encouraged to ‘dress to progress’ and wear second-hand or redesigned clothes.

The runway fashion show, due to be held on Tuesday 24 September, is supported by a week-long exhibition from 23 to 27 September at Blenheim Palace exploring The Carbon Cost of Fashion.

DATES & TIMES:

Re-Fashion Runway and Award Ceremony: Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, UK – 7.30pm, 24^thSeptember 2024 (sold out)

The Carbon Cost of Fashion exhibition – 10am-5pm, 23-27 September, The Stables, Blenheim Palace, UK (free with any valid Blenheim Palace ticket or annual pass).

Renowned ballroom dancer, choreographer, and author Bonnie Diaz has unveiled an innovative approach to enhancing dance partnering through her 3D Partnership System. This holistic method combines the elements of body, mind, and spirit to empower dancers to create more authentic, expressive, and visually captivating performances.

“The 3D Partnership System allows dancers to focus on creating a shared axis of energy between partners,” explained Diaz. “This gives them the freedom to produce their unique artistic expression without relying on the subjective opinions of judges.”

Diaz, who is also the founder of the not-for-profit organization BallroomBarks.org and the author of the book “Ballroomology,” believes this approach can have a transformative impact on the ballroom dance community, especially at the collegiate level.

“By bringing the 3D Partnership System to the collegiate ballroom dance teams,” Diaz revealed, “The goal would be to empower these younger dancers with the confidence and tools to showcase their full potential, regardless of their skill level.”

By incorporating the principles of body (skill set), mind (mindset), and spirit (life set/consciousness), the 3D Partnership System aims to help dancers develop a deeper connection with their partners and a heightened awareness of their artistic expression. This, in turn, can lead to more captivating and visually stunning performances.

“Bonnie’s 3D Partnership System is a game-changer for the ballroom dance community,” said Dr. Patzer. “Her holistic approach to enhancing dance partnerships is not only innovative but also has the potential to redefine the way we experience and appreciate this art form.”

Dancers and dance enthusiasts can learn more about Bonnie Diaz’s 3D Partnership System by visiting her website, Ballroomology.com, or by listening to the full episode of the Business Innovators podcast, available on all major podcast platforms.

Women who have been abused by their partners often lose their sense of self, but one coach has made it her mission to help them find themselves again. 

Nilzara Rivera, who runs the business Coach Nilzara, is an Intimate Partner Violence Recovery Coach. She holds a space for women where they can learn who they are without the influence of their abusers or anyone else, a process she describes as “reclaiming their mind, heart and cookie®.” 

The 38-year-old, from Chesapeake, Virginia, in the United States, was inspired to do this work after experiencing a string of toxic relationships, which stripped away her feelings of self-worth and diminished her confidence. One day, she realized that she was the common denominator in her unhealthy, abusive relationships and ultimately decided to heal.

Nilzara said: “I help women who have experienced all different types of abuse. I help them understand their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, so they can establish healthy boundaries for themselves without the feelings of guilt or shame.”  

“I want the women I work with to feel alive again. I want their dreams and aspirations to be reignited and for them to be courageous enough to execute them!”

In her work, Nilzara combines the knowledge she acquired through her Bachelor’s degree in Applied Behavioral Science with eight years of coaching experience and certifications in health, life, and anger resolution coaching. As an intuitive trauma-informed spiritual practitioner, she also uses several other methods to help her clients, including Reiki, NLP, mind-body practice, and connecting to higher self. 

She has written about her own experiences of abuse in Success with Source, a spiritual business book which is due to be released on July 7. Nilzara added: “It took a long time for me to even realize the unhealthy relationships I had been in were actually abuse. It takes time for women to stop making excuses for their abusers and start healing themselves–my role is to help bring women to peace.”

Author Vicki Rebecca has written a tell-all memoir about her journey from glamour model and drug addict to being a successful hypnotherapist.

Her new book, Naked Truth: Diary of a Glamour Model, became an international number one bestseller when it was published on Amazon on Wednesday, March 20. In it, Vicki tells the raw, uncensored truth about her life, including teenage years that were tainted by abuse and an escape to Soho that led her to seedy backrooms and photobooths.

The 67-year-old from Aberdeen had a successful career as a photographic model in London but also struggled with heroin addiction – something she only overcame after a spiritual experience. By sharing her story with the world, Vicki hopes to empower others to look inwards, release their shame, and honour every part of themselves.

Vicki says: “I couldn’t be who I am now without my story; I was put together this way to do what I do now. I hope to show people that it is possible to overcome their pasts, however heartbreaking they may be.

“After all, it’s the lies we tell ourselves that hold us in conflict, and the things we’ve been through that make us who we are. I believe it is my personal journey from glamour model to successful therapist that inspires, instructs, and gives me the down to earth saltiness that my many clients and students relate to.”

Now working as a psychotherapist who specialises in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and hypnotherapy, Vicki has been in recovery from her heroin addiction for 33 years. Taking methadone to wean herself off the drug, she then went on to complete a law degree at the University of Aberdeen before training as a water ski instructor, psychotherapist and even working as a personal trainer at the gym Princess Diana worked out at.

Since 1999, she has run a successful private practice, offering one-to-one therapy and classes as well as retreats all over the world, including Egypt, India and Turkey. In 2016, she wrote her first book The Me I Want to Be: Simple Shifts to Authentic Wellbeing.

An expert interiors therapist is coming to Washington DC to help people in the city transform their homes so they can live happier, healthier and wealthier lives.

Suzanne Roynon is based in the UK and has built a reputation around the world for helping people reorganise their homes to help them achieve their goals in life. Her knowledge and skills in both Feng Shui and interiors therapy have seen her become a guest expert for media outlets including the BBC, Homes & Gardens, Woman & Home and Architectural Digest.

In April, she will be giving people in the city a rare opportunity to work with her in person. The bestselling author of Welcome Home: how stuff makes or breaks your relationship believes most people are living alongside items which bring toxicity into their lives without realizing.

Suzanne says: “There is a lot of emotional baggage attached to objects which can have a major detrimental impact on the subconscious mind, causing stress, sadness and grief. A lot of people have possession they are keeping out of habit, fear, guilt, confusion or even spite.

“When I work with a client, we look at the emotional response to certain things – do they take them back to unhappy situations in the past? Interiors therapy is so much more than simply decluttering – I help people understand what is around them and the impact it is having on their lives. 

“I also spend time finding out what my client’s goals are so we can bring their home into a harmonious balance with Feng Shui to create the livestyle they want for themselves.”

Suzanne will be in the city from April 23 to 28, offering advice on how people can change their surroundings to improve their lives, whether it is advancing their career, securing a promotion, finding love, increasing their wealth, improving health, or simply feeling happier in their home. 

She has been practicing Feng Shui for 35 years but over the last six years, she has developed her own unique interiors therapy process, which uses the principles of Compass Feng Shui along with her own methods and techniques.

Suzanne says: “Every home can benefit from interiors therapy – it is the world’s best kept secret. Ultimately, it is about feeling happier, healthier and welcoming success.

Ideal Age Aesthetics, a results-driven skincare business, was recently featured on the popular podcast, Vegas Business Spotlight. In this episode, Nicole Genet, the founder of Ideal Age Aesthetics, shared her journey and insights into the importance of skincare for local residents.

During the podcast, Nicole Genet highlighted her passion for providing services that show immediate results. With a focus on lymphatic drainage and massage on the face, as well as natural-based products, Ideal Age Aesthetics aims to help clients achieve clear and healthy skin.

When asked about the significance of skincare for local residents, Nicole Genet emphasized the impact it has on making a positive first impression. She stated, “Your face is your first impression when people meet you. We want to make sure that the first thing they notice about you is your clear skin. It boosts confidence and allows you to shine from the inside out.”

Nicole Genet also discussed her inspiration behind starting her own business. After losing her regular 9-to-5 corporate job during the COVID-19 pandemic, she decided to follow her lifelong passion for skincare. “I’ve always loved skincare, and I thought, why not do it now? I wanted to have my own business, be my own boss, and make connections on my own terms,” she explained.

Starting a new business from scratch came with its challenges, but Nicole Genet credits networking as a key factor in her success. She attended various networking events, including joining the Henderson Chamber of Commerce, to put herself out there and meet new people. By building meaningful connections within the Las Vegas business community, she was able to grow her clientele and create awareness for Ideal Age Aesthetics.

Las Vegas, known for its diverse industries, has played a significant role in shaping Ideal Age Aesthetics’ business strategies. Nicole Genet highlighted the importance of tapping into the needs of the local elderly population in Anthem, where her studio is located. By offering tailored skincare solutions for aging skin, she has been able to serve a specific niche and build a loyal customer base.

Throughout her entrepreneurial journey, Nicole Genet has embraced the mantra of perseverance. “Don’t give up, no matter what,” she advised. Despite the challenges and setbacks, she believes that staying positive and determined is the key to achieving success.

Looking ahead, Nicole Genet has ambitious goals for Ideal Age Aesthetics. She aspires to grow her clientele, enhance customer retention, and continue providing results-driven skincare services. With a focus on corrective and preventative treatments, she aims to cater to a diverse range of clients, from the elderly to the younger generation.

FROM THE BOOK: Knowing the reason a skin or health condition exists is only part of the equation. That information needs to be taken a step further to recognize the behaviour, lifestyle patterns, and habits that caused the issue to manifest, then offer the solutions to replace those poor choices with healthier options. Without these crucial steps, how can doctors or any other discipline of practitioner believe they are truly helping their patients and clients?

Just So You Know

Wrinkles don’t appear as the result of not using the latest & greatest $200 serum, which either was recently reformulated or will be in the very near future. Most likely with something recently discovered under a flower that only blooms once every 150 years with a 3-legged goat sniffing the fragrance causing it to bark.

ABOUT THE BOOK
The pressures of keeping up with each other has catapulted us into dangerous territory by convincing women and young girls that they must do things a specific way in order to be considered beautiful. The peer pressure has reached new levels, and someone needs to be bold enough to speak up.

A pretty face does not represent a kind heart or optimal health. Marketing buzzwords like wellness and holistic are so overused that we tend to overlook the wool that is so blatantly being pulled over our eyes.

I find fault in the spa industry with their primary focus on selling us crap that we don’t need. Rather than considering stress levels, diet, and lifestyle being factored into the reason skin conditions happen, they make us believe they are the result of not using a specialized product.

The misguided illusion that health comes from topical products, looking like a computer-generated image, or marketing the concept of what the powers that be say beauty is supposed to look like has created a disempowered society with low self-esteem.

There is a time and place for products, but the belief that a pill or a quick fix is the solution to years of poor choices is the foundation for so much misguided advice.

All skin conditions are symptoms, a form of communication your body speaks to let you know something is wrong or in need of attention. It’s time to start listening to the messages provided by the body and stop trying to silence it.

Written by leading industry insiders to challenge the standards of the $571.1 billion beauty industry, this book tackles the common struggles of clients who are often left with more questions than answers when it comes to reaching their skin health goals.

Valeri was inspired to produce this book after consulting with many clients who repeatedly expressed their frustrations despite the multitude of products and services available. Most experienced minimal if any results.

The authors of this book are highly experienced in many areas of this industry, offering honest experiences and expertise that is typically kept silent. They believe in educating clients about their own health and refuse to conform to the mainstream beauty industry’s approach, instead choosing to unapologetically take a different approach.

“Healthy skin doesn’t come in a bottle or syringe and wellness doesn’t come in the form of a pill. Both come from how and what we feed our body, mind, and spirit. To expect a one size fits all approach to healthy skin and a healthy body is a great way to set practitioners and patients up for disappointment and failure. It’s time we stop believing all the hype and recognize that the body does not work on trends and one size definitely does not fit all. Marketing to young girls has become brutal, and the target ages keep getting younger. This type of peer pressure is devastating, and I refuse to stay quiet about it.” – Michelle Valeri

After owning a chiropractic clinic for almost 20 years, and almost 30 years helping patients get healthy with solutions specifically for them with patient education a major focus. Even though she saw many miracles and confirmed her dedication to a different approach for Doctors, Valeri still felt there was more to offer and teach patients.

Her solution is the new Daoist DC Course offered through a division of Holistic Dermal Professionals, which shares secrets of the Elite Art of Healing taught to Valeri directly by Chinese Masters. Valeri has been asked to share this information, so that more people can heal – even though it has not been previously shared with the general public or in medical schools.

The Daoist DC Course blends Daoist Chinese Medicine into Chiropractic practices, to provide the ultimate PHYSIO-PATHIC healing experience to patients, and a powerful competitive advantage for Doctors of Chiropractic, working to evolve into wellness and true family-focused practices. Docs who go through the course will be able to help more people, better serving the needs of their patients while allowing them to showcase their uniqueness.

The Physio-Pathic approach of the Daoist DC Course is a new method of treating patients that creates a new understanding of physiology and its function on health and wellness for better and more lasting results.

For most people, genetics get more credit than they deserve; Valeri knows that it is actually lifestyle choices (epigenetics) that is the major determining factor of wellness or dis-ease.

Symptoms and illnesses are merely wake up calls letting us know that we need to make some changes, otherwise our health will continue to deteriorate. Symptoms and illnesses do not mean we are broken. The body always responds perfectly to the way we feed our body, mind, and spirit.

Michelle Valeri, of McKinney, Texas, is a Chinese medicine consultant, published author, speaker, and founder of Holistic Dermal Professionals. With 3 decades of allopathic, holistic, and Daoist Chinese medicine education & experience, Valeri is committed to training her patients, wellness-focused Estheticians and Chiropractic physicians, with the sacred healing arts from her authentic Masters.

Holistic Dermal Professionals teaches estheticians to understand the clues provided by the body and the reason it manifests skin conditions in the first place, that skin conditions aren’t the result of a lack of a specialized serum, and that having a proficient understanding of the body is necessary to understand how to better serve clients in reaching their beauty goals.

Valeri has partnered with Kats Chiropractic Consultants Practice Management to provide the next level insights for chiropractic business growth courses & coaching, and effective course structure for ease of learning and implementation. Kats Consultants has been coaching Chiropractic physicians for more than 30 years to better serve their patients.

Because there is so much conflicting and misinformation out there about who and what to believe, patients often feel lost, especially those who wish to take a route that doesn’t include medication or more invasive methods often recommended by their primary care physician.

Now is the time to teach patients what their body is communicating, and the solutions to resolve their health and wellness concerns.

Valeri believes strongly in the power of people to heal themselves if they understand what their bodies are trying to communicate.

“The body always warns us when something is out of balance, and it always tells us what we need to restore that balance so the body can harmonize…we just don’t know how to decipher the clues and we ignore them.

It begins with a whisper, then gets louder with each level of misalignments, until it begins screaming at us with a major diagnosis. We need to start paying attention to these clues before things become an emergency or a terminal health issue.” – Michelle Valeri

Michelle’s new book, JUST PEACHY will be released in Spring 2023. It will demonstrate how the body functions, allowing patients and providers to have a different perspective on health, wellness, and the solutions available to restore balance and function in the body.

Valeri became a licensed Esthetician through Georgia Career Institute and prior to beginning her Chinese medicine education, was a guest speaker at several of their locations. She credits her education and practice experiences with revealing to her the gaps in education for the industry; pushing her to create courses and solutions. Before creating the Daoist DC Course, Valeri was a physiotherapist and owner of a successful Chiropractic clinic as well as mvskinconsulting.com

Life is just one adjustment after another. If you’re willing to do the work, you can change your destiny.

On a recent episode of Influencers Radio with Jack Mize, Cinch it! CEO Sofia Denman discussed her passion for inspiring women to look good and feel more confident and her journey as a student of personal development.

Denman is the creator of the simple but ingenious product ‘Cinch it!’, a fashion accessory or “Fashion Fix It” as she calls it, that allows women to look better, feel sexier, and be more confident in their current wardrobe. Cinch it! is perfect for weight loss transitions and making clothes fit better without alterations.

During the interview, Sofia shares the story of ‘Cinch it!’, from idea to realization, and how all the critical steps to success seemingly fell into place. While some would call it serendipity, for Denman, ‘Manifesting’ is what she attributes to her knack for seizing little moments that create life-changing results. Tracing it back to a chance encounter with a stranger on a plane, she says, “It started when I was 19.  I had moved to Naples, Florida, from Indiana. I was taking some classes in college and was offered a job to be a sales rep in the golf business. I didn’t know what I really wanted to do. Should I stay in college? Should I take this golf business opportunity? Sadly, my grandfather passed away, so I took my first plane ride back to Indiana, and on my way back to Florida, I sat next to an older gentleman. I never even knew his name, but he allowed me the space to share my situation. He didn’t say much, but he handed me Og Mandino’s ‘The Greatest Salesman In The World,’ and he said, ‘I think this book might help you make a decision.’ I read that book, and it changed my life because I suddenly understood how much power we have to determine our path and destiny. It wasn’t just fate or circumstances or coincidence… it’s based on what I think about and what I desire, and of course, my actions. So from that, I went on to reading everything about the magic of thinking big and all the incredible books teaching how our thoughts create our destiny.  It all starts with our thoughts and how we think and feel, and I just dove into that”.

As the host of the Manifest Your Bliss Podcast with Sofia, she shares the “secrets” to living a life of (BLISS) which she defines as a life of perfect happiness through understanding the Law of Attraction, applying Mindfulness via meditation, gratitude, and a well-being mindset to manifest the heart’s desires.

As a multi-passionate entrepreneur, Sofia is an admitted chaser of “shiny objects” and fearless when it comes to launching new things. Her objective is always to add more value to the world by providing others with the tools and strategies they can immediately use to improve their lives.

On a recent episode of Influencers Radio with Jack Mize, Jewelry Artist and Holistic Metalsmith Ali Kauss discussed how her creation of Transformational Adornments transcends jewelry beyond being a fashion accessory.

For over 20 years, Ali has been creating pieces of jewelry with precious metals that speak to the essence of an individual’s journey.  Each piece is handcrafted using Ali’s unique creative process, one that involves traditional tools and techniques as well as her intuition.  The result is a beautiful, customized, and powerful symbol of empowerment and encouragement to express individuality and claim self-worth.

During the interview, Ali explained how her background in fine arts is infused in her creations, “I come from a place of arts, and wearable art is definitely what I consider what I do. Humans have been wearing jewelry since the beginning of team as a vehicle of communication, but also to connect with the divine. And that’s whatever word you want to put in there—God, Source, Spirit. Jewelry has been used to connect an individual to that higher power. My custom Transformational Adornments really help individuals feel that essence within themselves, which is my intention behind the process of what I do. This allows them to feel connected to that higher power, that place in their community, from the inside out.”

On what fuels her passion for sharing her gift with others, Ali said,” That one-on-one connection is definitely a motivating factor. I really love to honor the individual and help them feel empowered to live their lives and shine their light; it even makes me teary-eyed to think about it. I have a Fine Arts degree in metal smithing with an emphasis on jewelry. So 20 years ago, when I found the metal smithing studio, I didn’t know I would end up empowering people or making pieces that helped empower people. At that time, I was pretty much a hot mess, going through the process of elimination to figure out what I would be for the rest of my life. But when I found the metal smithing studio, I really felt like I was coming home.  Creative expression has always been very important to me, and that was really a way for me to communicate.

So creating jewelry just felt so perfect for me as a way to communicate what was happening in my own internal landscape. Because at the time, it was really hard for me to do that. So it’s this process that was evolving over many years from that point where I was understanding who I was through the pieces I was making. Back then, I was not making Transformational Adornments; I was making pieces that went to galleries or doing shows. In the art world, I always felt like I was a little out of place because I loved the language of personal growth and transformation.  But I didn’t want to be a coach, healer, or therapist, but I was drawn to that language. So about five years ago, I understood that I could create pieces for others, to help them on their path of personal growth and transformation. And that could be celebrating any of those things we’ve talked about. But it was really shifting perspective and realizing that I could do that for others like I’d been doing for myself all those years.”

Transformational Adornments begin with Ali listening to her client’s intention, whether that client is going through a challenging time and needs a token of her inner strength, celebrating a life event and wants to create a Modern Heirloom, or simply looking for a one of a kind statement of who she truly is.

Listening to this episode, it’s easy to understand the deeper meaning behind Ali’s Transformational Adornments and the profound impact the design and creation process can have on her clients.

Confidence can be one of the most important characteristics a person can have for advancing in careers, personal relationships, or just about anything you want to excel at in life. But for a lot of people, it’s also one of the most difficult things to develop.

On a recent episode of Influencers Radio with Jack Mize, Agency Represented Lifestyle Model Khalia Monique discussed how she is helping women learn how to show up beautifully and confidently in the world.

Khalia understands how vital confidence is in how one is perceived by others. As the former owner of a modeling and talent agency who has been in the fashion industry for over 20 years, she has trained models in the art of being poised and confident.

Khalia studied at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, receiving a degree in Fashion and Retail Management, and later received certifications in Image, Presentation, and Etiquette Coaching.

While training models in the industry, Khalia saw a lot of circumstances where models needed greater support and care. With a heart for a person’s whole wellness—not just their career success—but a person’s whole spirit and how they show up in life, she furthered her education, earning a Master’s degree in Counseling at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).

During the interview, Khalia shared what fuels her passion for helping others, saying, “Understanding the importance of a person’s whole wellness, not just their career success, not just a fly by night, make a million bucks, and now I can travel the world type of mindset.  I say this often, ‘How are you REALLY?’ Not just ‘How are you?’ But ‘How are you REALLY?’ In my 20s, I could recall being backstage at runway shows and just seeing models fall apart, having anxiety attacks, and just complete nervousness before they hit the runway. I would often coach them, without a degree, on breathing techniques and recentering themselves before we even went to the stage to walk the runway or do the photoshoot. So, I learned really quickly that my passion was not only just someone’s self-image and how they showed up, but how they handled their overall health and their mindset. And it led me to getting my Master’s in Counseling because I just saw it time and time again, in the fashion industry, where the perception of perfect, really wasn’t the case. I wanted to help do something about that specifically with the models, the talent, and those in entertainment, who needed someone to talk to and could understand what they were going through.”

After taking some time away to marry and start her family, Khalia re-entered the fashion world as a professional model who now has three agency-represented children of her own.

Khalia’s combination of modeling, counseling education, and experience provides a unique perspective that allows her to help women look beautiful and confident and be beautiful and confident for themselves.

Today, as a wife, mom of three, and professional model with over 20 years of fashion industry experience, she brings her journey of self-love, inner-confidence, and passion for fashion to her coaching programs. She helps everyday people, from adolescence to women entering that next stage of life, to be poised and confident in any situation.

After years of training and preparation, assisted by her prior career as a physiotherapist and chiropractic clinic owner, speaking at Beauty Business Summit in October last year was the first time Valeri shared her new training program with the larger esthetics industry, and her second time as a featured speaker will be this October.

Raising the bar for esthetics in the USA is Valeri’s primary goal, with a book publishing deal in the works.

According to Valeri, the world of esthetics has reached a much-needed fork in the road: estheticians can choose to become either a beauty business offering lashes, waxing, makeup, or facials that follow a simple checklist often based on manufacturer’s recommendations, or a wellness practitioner who understands the underlying physical issues that cause the need for beauty treatments.

Holistic Dermal Professionals teaches estheticians to understand the clues provided by the body and the reason it manifests skin conditions in the first place, that skin conditions aren’t the result of a lack of a specialized serum, and that having a proficient understanding of the body is necessary to understand how to better serve clients in reaching their beauty goals.

Valeri shares “An analogy I always use: If a room has black mold, we can clean it, bleach it, paint it, wallpaper over it…but until the moisture that made the perfect environment for mold to grow is removed, the mold will continue to come back…skin conditions are no different. We must change the behavior that is allowing the body to manifest the skin condition.”

Holistic Dermal Professionals teachings are based in Daoist Chinese Medicine, which has helped women optimize their health and natural beauty for thousands of years.

For Valeri, the key element that makes Holistic Dermal Professionals unique is that she is truly promoting self-empowerment, confidence, and an end to weaponizing beauty through social media peer pressure, unrealistic goals of “perfect” filtered, and accessible enhanced beauty causing emotional issues for women of all ages.

“I have just completed 11% of the Holistic Dermal Professionals Program… Thank you, ladies, for bringing this info to the masses! If anyone is on the fence about taking this leap into furthering your Holistic education THIS INVESTMENT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!” – Tammy Nash

“The Holistic Skin Wellness Consultant course is truly a gift to the skincare industry and much needed! The instructors graciously share many years of knowledge in a way that is easy for estheticians to grasp, allowing these new skills to be put into action right away. I personally was at a stand-still treating acne clients even after taking numerous courses in the past. Completing Level One has given me the confidence to create a corrective acne program using techniques that are proven to achieve lasting results. I look forward to continuing this journey with Holistic Dermal Professionals and without a doubt, offering something unique in my community.” – Tracy Childs

According to Valeri, there is a wide-open, untapped market for graduate estheticians of her program – for most, they can take their careers in a different direction, experience better client results and retention, more impactful and fulfilling relationships, and better connections with themselves and others.

Valeri will be sharing the opportunities in Holistic Dermal Professionals as a featured speaker at the Beauty Business Summit in St. Petersburg, Florida (October 3-4, 2022 at the Vinoy Renaissance), which includes a keynote speech by Mike Michalowicz, author of bestselling book PROFIT FIRST. Valeri will be speaking about the new critical career choices estheticians must consider to successfully navigate the current economy and culture of the beauty industry.

Valeri will also be researching and connecting with industry leaders through the Summer and Fall of 2022 for her upcoming book Unleashed: How Secrets of Holistic Dermal Professionals Are Changing Esthetician’s Careers [working title]. The book will provide an overview of how Holistic Dermal Professionals will showcase Daoist medicine philosophies to revolutionize the esthetics industry, and case studies will be included.

For whatever reason, I just couldn’t seem to wrap my head around doing only one thing, so Rock Fashion Art was born.”

“Rock can comprise music and jewelry, Fashion can constitute clothing, collections, thinking or trends of the day, and Art truly encompasses all things imaginative, inventive, knowledge and mastery,” she said.

“I believe that art heals because it certainly did heal me.”

On a recent episode of Influencers Radio with Jack Mize, Founder and Creative Director of Poppy Row Crystal Cave discussed her entrepreneurial journey to creating a transformational clothing and apparel brand.

Crystal Cave is the innovative mind behind Poppy Row, the ethical and eco-conscious clothing brand of size-inclusive modular wardrobe staples for the jet-setting Changemaker woman. She has worked with women around the globe to use style as a vehicle for loving the body they are living in today so they can go out to be the change, no matter their size.

During the interview, Crystal shared one of Poppy Row’s new innovative concepts that is changing the way women think about their size, saying, “We have now introduced Affirmation Sizing… when you get your Poppy row product, instead of a size number, it’s actually an affirmation. So if you’re a size 16, and you order our size F, your tag says ‘I am size Fabulous.’ My aunt had messaged me after we launched this and was like, ‘This is so amazing that you don’t have sizes. Because the only number I should worry about everyday, maybe, is the one in my bank account, if at all.’  And I thought that was such an astute observation because what I’ve tried to create for this brand from day one is a place where women of all sizes can truly feel comfortable, and literally comfortable in our clothing too… I wanted to create a brand that was so much more than just a physical product. It had meaning and it could bring pleasure and joy to a person’s life as well. So, if every day you’re putting on a pair of our Hangover Pants or our Sage Shorts, and you can look in your waistband and see that you are not defined by your size, I think it’s such a powerful thing.”

Credited by her loyal fans for being the inspiration behind some incredible transformations, Crystal believes women shouldn’t wait until they achieve what they feel is their perfect weight to feel beautiful and have fun with what they wear.  She knows that creating a style for the body they have now can make all the difference in the world. And not just in how they look but how they feel about themselves.

As a former celebrity stylist turned fashion designer and style educator for women, Crystal’s style advice has been seen by over a billion people worldwide in publications like InStyle, CBS, NBC, ABC, The NY Times, The Huffington Post, MindBodyGreen, Elle, The CW and many more. Poppy Row was recently named one of SELF magazine’s “18 Best Leggings and Shorts in 2022.”

Personal Branding is a term that was seldom, if ever, heard 10 or 15 years ago. But today, consumers don’t just buy products and services; they are also buying the people behind those products and services.

On a recent episode of Influencers Radio with Jack Mize, Certified Image Consultant and the creator of “Reveal Your Radiance Style Academy” Annette Bond discussed how successful women can use style to elevate their brand and attract their ideal client.

For Annette, there is a distinguished difference between fashion and personal brand. Her philosophy is that style begins with the woman, not the clothes.  During the interview, Annette explained why image is so important and how style aligns with a personal brand, saying, “Image is how you are showing up. We have milliseconds when we see somebody, and basically, our brains are trying to discern, ‘Who is this person? Do I like them? Do I want to do business with them?’ That first impression, when deciding who they are, that image becomes very important. I like to say the image is from the inside out because we want to see your authenticity and know that you’re the real deal…  When I work with my clients, one of the first steps is what I call ‘the power of you.’ And it’s understanding, who are you?  What are your strengths? What do you value? What is the essence of who you are? And then how do we bring that out in your clothes? Because, I’m going to generalize here, but most women think ‘I need to go shopping first, find that dress, and then make it fit me.’ I do the opposite. Let’s start with you. And then what does that look like in your outward appearance? A personal brand determines how people experience you, their perception of you and again, do I want to work with you?”

As a certified Image Consultant, Annette has been working with image and style for 30 years.  She is passionate about empowering women who are doing amazing things in this world but question what to wear, they question their style and fashion sense, wondering if how they are showing up is even aligned with their brand, their position, or even themselves.

Through her “Reveal Your Radiance Style Academy,” Annette teaches successful, smart women to embrace their authentic best selves while using their clothing as a powerful business and communication tool. Allowing them to go from feeling ‘off’ to creating a signature look that is uniquely them, so that they are on-brand, getting noticed, and truly stepping into their excellence, and even reaching their next income level or promotion.

On a recent episode of Influencers Radio with Jack Mize, Hollywood stylist Dina Cerchione discussed the secret to her success for making people look great on and off camera for over 25 years. With shows such as America’s Got Talent, Deal or No Deal and Beat Shazam, her styling finesse has refined the look of thousands—celebs and “real people” alike.

Now, Dina works that same magic for others outside the spotlights of Hollywood. She has a definite talent for being able to make even the “fashion challenged” feel like a million bucks without having to spend a million bucks. Her style philosophy is the same for both men and women, saying, “Personal style is more important than fashion. Keep it simple, make it your own, and choose accent pieces wisely.”

During the interview, Dina shared some of the common fears and misconceptions that prevent people from experiencing their full potential when it comes to personal style, saying, “There’s a handful that I see over and over again. One is that they see it on the mannequin, but think, you know, that’s not for me, or that’s not something I can wear. And, you know, if it’s something you like, and it’s something you’re drawn to, then you should absolutely try that… We have all of our own insecurities, and that’s why you’re thinking it’s for somebody else. When I work with a client, if there’s something that you’re drawn to we can look at it. And, if it’s something slinky that maybe doesn’t work for your body type, but you like the color or you like the fabric, there are ways of figuring out what it is you’re drawn to that’s not necessarily the exact thing on the mannequin, but gets you that feeling that’s on the mannequin. Another misconception a lot of people think is that it takes a lot of money to reinvent yourself, which it can if you have a lot of money and you want to spend a lot of money. But there are absolutely ways that you can rework the wardrobe pieces that you have, and then create and build a wardrobe going forward, where you can really be mindful about how you’re doing it…  I do think you should be mindful. I don’t think you should have closets overflowing with stuff you don’t use. I’m a big believer in building on a basic foundation.”

Dina’s passion for style started at an early age when she didn’t look like all the other girls, explaining, “They were all wearing skinny designer jeans and Candies shoes and that simply didn’t work for me and my Italian curves! I wanted a way to stand out and look great so I discovered using clothes in a way that accentuated and worked with my body, not against it.” 

When working with clients, Dina takes her styling cues from the personalities of the people she dresses. Her goal is to always make clients look and feel their best, for whatever THEIR life looks like, not of a life that they don’t lead. She helps them define their own personal style rather than just choose another off-the-rack trend.

LYNNFIELD, MA – When he was 12 years old, Matthew Ciampa of Lynnfield had a problem. He lived with a life-threatening peanut allergy and needed to carry allergy medication with him at all times, but his basketball uniform didn’t have any pockets.

Rather than let his allergy sideline him, Ciampa found a solution. He designed an athletic sock with a secure pocket large enough to carry his allergy medication. Then he realized many other children with food allergies would benefit from his socks. According to the Center for Disease Control, eight percent of U.S. children, nearly 6 million kids, have a food allergy.

“For kids with allergies, having an easy way to keep your medication with you offers freedom to pursue all the activities you love,” said Ciampa. “And there is less worry for you and your parents.”

Today, his dream of helping children with allergies across the country is becoming a reality. The trademark for his Treasure Socks was approved in December 2020 and production of the new product is now complete. The socks will retail for $16 and are now available for sale at treasuresocks.com. A portion of the proceeds of Treasure Socks will be donated to the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) to support food allergy research.

Ciampa’s Treasure Socks could be lifesaving. According to FARE, teenagers and young adults with severe allergies are at the highest risk for fatal anaphylaxis because they often forget their medicine, misplace it or simply don’t want carry it all the time. Ciampa knows the ideal situation for people at risk of anaphylaxis is to have their medication physically on them. Yet an alarming study by the Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Allergy Clinic found that only 40 percent of children with severe food allergies regularly carried their medication with them.

Ciampa, now a 10^th-grader at St. John’s Prep in Danvers, Massachusetts is an honor student, member of the Spire Society and three-sport athlete competing in soccer, basketball and volleyball. He also volunteers in the Children’s Food Allergy Buddies Program at MassGeneral Hospital.

The product launch is the result of four years of planning. Ciampa has been working with a patent attorney, sock manufacturer, Young Entrepreneurs Academy and MassChallenge to bring his idea to market. FARE named him a Rising Young Innovator of the Year finalist, and he presented Treasure Socks at the Teen Summit competition in Newport Beach, California.

Author Dee Bowden’s “Collect the Cash: The Sale is not Complete Until the Money is in the Bank!” focuses on the reality that the sale is not complete until the money is collected.

“Collections are uncomfortable for everyone involved on both ends of the unfinished transaction — the flustered customer dodging the persistent calls of companies with outstanding invoices for goods or services rendered, as well as corporate employees tasked with the job of acquiring the money businesses are owed,” said Bowden. 

In “Collect the Cash: The Sale is not Complete Until the Money is in the Bank,” financial expert and author Dee Bowden teaches that the business of collections doesn’t have to be miserable —but it must be done. In “Collect the Cash,” Bowden shares her personal blueprint that has propelled her into success with more than 10 years in the Business to Business (B2B) collections industry, boasting $13 million (and counting) of outstanding debt recovered for corporations and government agencies. Combining personal anecdotes with proven methods of tangible solutions, “Collect the Cash” is a practical guide that teaches businesses at every level to collect their money with ease. Bowden said, “The sale is not complete until the money is in the bank, and for businesses to survive, this means making sure every invoice is paid in full.”

Dee Bowden founded BCS Solutions, a revenue recovery company, from a personal desire to see small businesses learn to solve cash flow problems. Dee is on a mission to serve them and grow their financial bottom line by sharing her five-step system. Dee has more than 10 years of financial recovery experience in which she collected over $10 million for several companies and government agencies. In the early 2000s, while working for a small IT firm outside of Boston as a part-time collections specialist, she was assigned $8 million owed in outstanding invoices, where the sales staff sold the services, but no one followed up to collect the payments. She was successfully able to recover $6 million in 60 days working part-time. Shortly after that, the company abruptly dissolved, which prompted her to identify possible disconnects in these four areas: Sales, Contracts, Accounts Payable, and Accounts Receivables. Dee believes that these areas were operating independently (standalone) instead of being properly integrated within a complete, robust sales cycle. 

“I chose to believe that my journey as a contract administrator and deciding to share my story about Collect the Cash would connect with business owners, said Bowden. 

“I once lost a job because I was told I didn’t know how to collect money or closeout government contracts. I’ve gone on to be recognized by the United States Coast Guard Headquarters for recovering $7.5 million in one year. Not too bad for someone who was once told I would never understand how to collect money.”

“We collect outstanding invoices that are 30/60/90 Days past due and improve companies cash flow,” said Bowden, whose company BCS Solutions was featured in a Forbes Magazine article about cash collections. 

“BCS Solutions teaches that B2B collections are resolved by solving problems, extending customer service, and the secret sauce is expressing gratitude.”

Bowden offered advice for anyone seeking success today. “My best advice for someone seeking success is to make a decision and then get these four people in your life: a) coach b) mentor c) cheerleader and d) friend.”  

She said it is vital to exercise self-care regularly and realize that the journey to success is a marathon and not a sprint.

 “It requires dedication and an ‘I will not give up’ spirit to see your dreams become a reality in your life. She emphasized that it is essential to celebrate the small wins along the way. “The small wins provide momentum when you feel like it’s too hard and you want to give up and quit,” Bowden said.

Bowden illustrated some ideas and offered some tools to use to help achieve success. 

“Success means writing out your goals on a vision board and cutting out the pictures, so you have a visual representation of what you are working toward and having the guts and determination to go after your dreams and staying focused on seeing it become a reality,” she explained. “Make sure you have one good friend that will join you on the journey. Learn to celebrate and encourage yourself every step of the way.”

Dee Bowden’s book “Collect The Cash The Sale is Not Complete Until The Money is in the Bank” will be released in April 2021. Find it at  www.collectthecash.biz/book. Visit www.collectthecash.biz to learn about consulting/training and outsourcing services for companies and government agencies.

Co-Founder LaWanna Bradford explained, “In Celebrate You, we believe that when a woman is able to truly embrace and celebrate herself, she is then able to rise up and make an impact in the lives of her family, her community, the nation, and ultimately the world.”

“2020 was one of the most challenging years of our generation,” said Bradford.

“We celebrated nine amazing women who dared to face the changes and the challenges and strive to make a difference in the world. These women are unique in their backgrounds, experiences, and professions. However, the one thing they have in common is they live life intentionally and on purpose. They believe in the power of co-creating a life of abundance and impact.”

“These exceptional women are leaders and influencers. They always seek to find ways to encourage, inspire, uplift, and celebrate others,” she said.

The following nine (9) women are collectively being honored for all they did in 2020: April – LaChelle Adkins, America’s Supermom; May – Michele Vismaya Rubin, Living in Gratitude Today; June – Jozie Edwards, PJ Blings; July – Sharon Mathis, Insurance Associates Atlanta; August – Wendy Watkins, The Joy Factor; September – Nancy Mathews, Women’s Prosperity Network; October – Lyn-Dee Eldridge, The Happiness Jungle; November – Toni S. Winston, Freedom Travel Diva; and December – Mistie Layne, Dare 2 Share.

Bradford said, “We are excited to announce that the Master of Ceremonies is the Regional Sales Director with Provenir, Harlan Bradford, Jr., and live music will be played by two-time Emmy-award winning bassist, Tony Saunders.

Tickets are on sale for $10.

The virtual celebration will be filled with tributes, spotlights, music, laughter, and a lot of fun. Everyone to “glam up from the waist up” and get ready to get your celebrate on! 

All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the Help Heal Humanity Charity. Help Heal Humanity is an internationally registered charity mindfully designed to provide the world’s most vulnerable youth with access to education, food, support, and love.

“In 2020, the world paused, and everyone focused on the caring and well-being of each other,” said Bradford. “This is why we selected Help Heal Humanity as the charity to celebrate as it a small charity making a difference one young life at a time.” Learn more about their service at Help Heal Humanity .

Violeta Lucce brand continues to spread its global message and create awareness about plastic pollution in the oceans by creating exquisite and natural silk masks for women, men, and children. Each mask is one of a kind, hand-painted on luxurious charmeuse silk and signed by the artist, has become a small luxury with huge benefits contributing to cleaner Planet Earth.

Being the creators of a green brand and conscious fashion, two Lithuanian sisters, Jurate and Violeta, always strive to create awareness and find solutions to reduce plastic pollution in the oceans.

During the pandemic, two talented women instantly noticed a major problem that was growing exponentially: disposable masks being thrown everywhere on the beach, in the parking lots, on the streets, left in the grocery carts, which became a huge plastic problem making its way into the oceans. The whole situation became so frustrating that the sisters had to find a solution of how to fight this “Disposable Mask Monster.”

So, they did it…Together, they decided to create a silk mask that is natural, breathable, and replaces thousands of single-use disposable masks at the same time, changing the ugly look into an elegant and sophisticated look.

Working with silk for many years, a European Master on Silk, Violeta, knew its benefits very well, making it the perfect fabric for the masks. Silk is the most hypoallergenic of all fabrics, does not attract dust mites, and resists the growth of mold, mildew, and fungi. It contributes to one’s well-being allowing the skin to breathe, and is anti-aging. Having a hydrophobic character, silk prevents the droplets’ penetration and does not trap water, like other fabrics. Not only is silk antiviral, antibacterial, and antimicrobial, but also, for people with skin allergies, silk is an excellent material alternative that does not cause skin damage such as acne.

Having this knowledge, the sisters created a silk mask that is a small luxury with huge benefits. As soon as they posted their first mask, it was sold within a few minutes. Sisters realized that they could create a change by replacing the disposable masks and giving people the benefits of the silk.

Violeta Lucce silk masks became in high demand and were picked up by 5-star luxury hotels and high-end boutiques in Miami. People realized that they could wear something natural, breathe easily, and look beautiful, not having to hide under the plastic shield while contributing to a cleaner planet, Earth.

How It All Got Started:

20 years ago, Jurate Luckaite landed in NYC with $200 in her wallet and a big dream – to do something extraordinary and one day to create a positive impact on this planet.

A decade later, Jurate invited her sister Violeta to explore the idea of creating a new dimension that would revolutionize the fashion industry. Realizing that fashion has become one of the most polluting and damaging industries in the world, introducing plastic and synthetics that make their way into the oceans, consuming enormous amounts of water, and creating tons of textile waste, sisters had a burning desire to create a change and show the other side of fashion: timeless, meaningful and conscious.

Two European sisters decided to fuse their talents and passions together. They created Violeta Lucce – a fusion of fine art and haute couture. Every work of art is one of a kind, hand-painted on natural and luxurious silk and draped over a woman’s body-transforming her into a fine art masterpiece while shifting her spirit into true magnificence. The idea was to create timeless masterpieces of fine art that last forever and can even become interior design details or be given from generation to generation.

Starting their business in Hawaii and being inspired by the beautiful nature, the sisters created their first collection of hand-painted scarves and wraps, followed by a luxurious resort wear collection. Later, adding the children’s hand-painted collection, a bridal couture collection, an art couture collection, and paintings on silk floating in between the glass for the interiors.

The newest Violeta Lucce addition is an “Ocean Collection” of hand-painted art couture masterpieces creating awareness about plastic pollution in the oceans and carrying a message that we are one with nature. If we destroy our nature, we will destroy our future.

One of the collection pieces were donated at the gala to Prince Albert’s II de Monaco Foundation, raising money to clean our oceans, removing the plastic, and restoring the balance to endangered ecosystems.

In addition to this, the sisters created an educational hand-drawn children’s book about plastic pollution in the oceans and gifted the very first signed copy to Prince Albert II. The book also made its way into an environmentally conscious hotel spreading the global message and bringing the whole of humanity for one big mission – to live in a clean and green Planet Earth.

Violeta Lucce is known as a green luxury brand that creates one-of-a-kind, museum-quality fine art couture masterpieces seen on many red-carpet events, movie premieres, runways, art gallery displays, and exhibitions. Every work of art is unique, signed, and tells a story while capturing the most harmonic emotions of life through vivid colors, sophistication, and sensuality of flowing styles.

The world has never shut down for two talented sisters that kept adapting through the years of unexpected changes. Today, sisters create fine art that is shifting the consciousness of humanity while making a positive impact on Earth, just like Jurate was dreaming 20 years ago.

Violeta Lucce would like to thank their very dear friend, Keith Hatchett & The Elease Project Nonprofit for helping to create a positive impact on our planet, and their continuous support.

The desire for luxury is still there, however, many are now carefully selecting items that also play a part in bringing about social change and provide a deeper meaning.

In 2019, Craig Shelly released a limited-edition collection, called the Hope Collection, which included a custom piece, El Capitan Rose, worn by actor Colin Farrell, known for his role in HBO’s True Detective, at the 91st Academy Awards show. Individual Hope Collection pieces represent various powerful emotions for owners of these exquisite timepieces. Carefully chosen names such as Love, Believe, Cherish, Empower and Faith signify a mantra and allow the wearer to carry their mission with them as a reminder of what they stand for, or seek in their lives. When asked what the collection meant to him, Craig replied, “HOPE … such a simple, pure, yet powerful word! It has the power to change anything and anyone. It can transform adversities into possibilities. Giving the gift of HOPE to someone is elevating their spirits and giving them a chance to make a difference in their lives and that of others around them.”

At Craig Shelly, their unique business model also provides an Ambassador Partner Program for entrepreneurs within the community. It is by invitation only and members are thoroughly vetted and referred through a current partner of the program.

You are making a difference to a child, a soldier, a person in need and you are truly a part of something so meaningful.

Jurate Luckaite came to America being 19 years old with $200 in her pocket from a small Eastern European country, Lithuania. She did not know what the future held for her, but she knew that this country is full of endless opportunities where anything is possible.

Working 2-3 jobs initially, putting herself through the University, earning an International Business degree, and creating a successful career in a global company, Jurate realized that she was not living her dream. She was working and living someone else’s dream, so Jurate decided to leave everything she had built for 10 years behind and move to Hawaii to figure out her calling, her true passion, and her life’s purpose.

After living in Hawaii for a few years, Jurate found the answers she was seeking. She invited her older sister Violeta and together, they decided to create something extraordinary – a new dimension in a fashion that did not exist. European master on silk and amazingly talented artist, Violeta and full of ideas in fashion, styling, and business Jurate, fused their talents and passions and created Violeta Lucce – a fusion of fine art and haute couture, where every work of art is hand-painted on luxurious silk and draped over a woman’s body transforms her into a fine art masterpiece while shifting her spirit into true magnificence.

Being inspired by the beautiful nature of Hawaiian islands, Violeta and Jurate created their first collection of hand-painted scarves and wraps, followed by a luxurious resort wear collection, later on adding kid’s couture collection, a bridal couture collection, an art couture masterpiece collection, and paintings on silk floating in between the glass created for the luxury interiors.

However, it was not an easy road for two sisters. Just like most entrepreneurs starting a new business, sisters faced a lot of challenges. Working during the day and creating at night, Jurate and Violeta were hoping to have a smooth start in finding their clientele, selling their art at the galleries and high-end boutiques; however, it was the opposite.

For many years, two extraordinary talents were suffering from little sales, too many closed doors, people trying to take advantage of them, listening to others’ opinions, and more. Sisters had to learn from their own mistakes, walked through so many empty promises, faced too many disappointments. They were often on the edge of giving up their dream and going back to their 8-5 jobs. However, Jurate always knew that she came to the country of endless opportunities and decided no matter what, to keep moving forward, not allowing the fear or doubt to take over faith.

“A Cinderella Story” The Wedding Dress:

The breakthrough in Violeta Lucce business happened when one of the sisters was getting married. Jurate was searching for the wedding dress for 6 months, hoping to find that perfect “Cinderella” dress. After a long search, she was so disappointed because she could not find the dress of her dreams. They all seemed to be boring “cookie-cutter” dresses without that bespoke feeling of uniqueness and beauty that every bride wants to experience. Not finding the dress of her dreams, she shared the frustration with her sister Violeta. Violeta decided to put her heart and talent into creating the most extraordinary masterpiece in a wedding dress for Jurates’ most important day. Violeta hand-painted 10 meters of pure white silk with the most beautiful and romantic flowers and then sculptured it around Jurates’ body. Silk and tulle came together to create the stunning gown tailored by European Ateliers and the first wedding dress reflecting Jurates’ multidimensional personality, and her soul was born.

This was the dress that everyone was talking about. It made an impression on everyone and even made its way into a few fashion magazines. Since everyone seemed admiring the extraordinary wedding gown, the sisters decided to create a bridal couture collection and make it available to brides looking for uniqueness and desiring to experience the “Cinderella Story” on their wedding day, wearing the dress that is created from their dreams.

Violeta Lucce bridal couture collection made its way on many runways and decorated multiple fine art galleries, fashion shows, and window displays. Women fell in love with the exquisite art, love, and attention put into each masterpiece. The sisters then realized how long it takes to build the reputation of a luxury brand where the museum-quality works of art transform women from the outside while bringing their inner beauty out.

Today, the Violeta Lucce sisters are grateful for their rocky road, the challenges, and the hardest lessons learned. All the doors closed in front of them, all the opinions, all the detours, and the obstacles they experienced brought them through the worst, so they can embrace everything with even more love and gratitude.

The latest Violeta Lucce collection includes exquisite hand-painted silk masks that replace thousands of single-use disposable masks polluting our oceans, allowing people to look beautiful, breathe easily, and wear a work of art that is saving our planet from plastic waste.

Jurate is proud and happy that she followed her dream and sincerely believes that she has created a new dimension transforming women into fine art masterpieces while impacting this Planet as she dreamed years ago.

Dr. William Burden, MD, FACS, became an Amazon Bestselling Author for the third time with his new book, Advances in Facial Cosmetic Surgery: Your Guide to Achieving the Best Long-Term Results. Amazon listed the book at Number 1 among all Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery books and as the Number 1 Hot New Release in multiple categories.

Dr. Burden provides an overview of facial cosmetic surgical procedures for women and men in this book. He describes background on his research starting back in the 1990s on newer approaches to plastic surgery using fiber optics that allowed smaller incisions and less invasive procedures. As society has become more fitness oriented, many women and men continue a very active lifestyle longer than they may have in the past. They want to look as good as they feel. Executives, salespeople, and business owners want to maintain a competitive edge and look their best when meeting clients, in front of a camera, or on stage. Dr. Burden describes how facial cosmetic surgery can be a solution for many people who desire to regain a youthful appearance.

As people age, the skin loses its elasticity and the effects of aging become apparent around the eyes and on the face and neck. Brows become set lower and the eyes don’t appear to fully open. Deep furrows may develop between the brows, giving a facial expression of concern or anger. Dark, puffy areas appear below the eyes, giving the look of being tired. Sagging or droopy skin appears on the face and neck, along with an increase of wrinkles and less definition of the contour of the neck and chin. Dr. Burden explains advanced facial cosmetic surgical procedures that can help restore the appearance of youth, including the endoscopic brow lift, eyelid surgery, and facelift.

The book is organized in an easy to read Question and Answer format that provides answers to the most common questions asked by prospective patients. Advances in Facial Cosmetic Surgery: Your Guide to Achieving the Best Long-Term Results is available on Amazon in an eBook version at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088SJ6WM3. A paperback version will also be available soon.

Dr. William R. Burden, MD, FACS, is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He is the founder and CEO of Destin Plastic Surgery in Destin, Florida and is also the founder of the Destin Surgery Center, housed in the same building. During his fellowship in Plastic Surgery at the University of Florida, Dr. Burden worked with his professors to introduce endoscopic and specialized microvascular techniques in breast and facial cosmetic surgery. He was one of the pioneers in researching the use of endoscopic or fiber optic technology for plastic surgery.

For many moms, raising kids becomes the primary focus of their lives. Moms place their child’s wants and needs before their own in the hopes of nurturing a loving, healthy relationship. The tendency to put themselves last is especially common with new moms. While the experience of ‘selfless motherhood’ can be rewarding, it can become psychologically and spiritually draining. Not only that, it’s simply not sustainable. Each mother has a unique blend of talents, gifts, and interests that defines who she is at the core of her being. This is the ‘soul’s essence’ and is the fullest expression of spirit, within or without the physical body.

According to Arredondo, “The soul’s essence shapes who we are, what we’re passionate about, and inspires us to live a purpose-driven life. In many instances, new moms become overwhelmed by the pressure of parenthood and lose the connection to this vital, energetic force. We become so focused on our family, that we forget who we are. This disconnect can lead to experiences of depression, stress, and anxiety. The intention of this Soul Garden Moms Journal is to help mothers reconnect with their soul’s essence. I firmly believe that moms who take care of their own needs set themselves up to be better mothers. Self-care is not a luxury, it is a necessity.”

In the journal, Arredondo discusses how you can cultivate and “grow your soul,” by utilizing meditation, nature, writing prompts, and many other practices. She added, “I invite you to use this journal as a tool to assist you in nurturing the ‘garden of your life’ by returning to your true essence. When we are connected to the source of who we are, we allow ourselves the freedom to thrive – not just survive.” The Journal includes quotes from Oprah Winfrey, Maya Angelou, Mother Teresa, Sophia Loren, and Dean Graziosi.

“Cultivating your passion and purpose helps model a healthy lifestyle for your family,” Arredondo said. Clients who work with Arredondo said that the clearing exercises help them to feel lighter and create new possibilities.

A recent guest on Inspired Living, Jacqueline Schaffer, M.D., is an American entrepreneur and businesswoman, author of the International Best Selling book, Irresistible You.

She stopped by the show to talk about her new company, Natural Glam, that is described as the Uber of hair and makeup design.

Prior to Natural Glam, Dr. Schaffer has a storied career of inspirational success.

Dr. Schaffer attained her Medical Degree at a young age, and was affected deeply by her mother’s contraction of Skin Cancer for a second time – and the fact this affliction was partially attributed to harsh and toxic ingredients found in beauty and skincare products.

Shocked by this fact, and determined to prevent this from happening to other women, Jacqueline researched the beauty product industry in-depth – learning about the origins of the packaging the products came in, the supply chain involved in creating a product, and most importantly, the exact molecular composition of each and every ingredient in the products being marketed today.

This leads her to create the natural anti-aging skincare line, Schique Skincare, which became very successful.

“I did the QVC as of like the world TVSN and I got into 300 stores Macy’s… it was was great,” said Dr. Schaeffer.

Host of Inspired Living TV, Keri Murphy, asked about how she transitioned to her new company, Natural Glam.

“I believe that God was building me up to something that I was truly destined to do. I was doing shows, like your wonderful show, and getting my hair and makeup done. And then I started to break out, my hair was getting more brittle.  It was just not good especially when you have fine hair. Not fun. No, no, no. And so I was like well I got the skincare down. But what about the hair and makeup.”

She explained that before the average woman leaves her home exposes herself to over 200 chemicals.  

Dr. Schaeffer said, “And so it’s just really scary because you wear makeup all day and you have hair care product. You know in your hair all day as well and it’s all keratin it’s just crazy. And so it’s you want to be as mindful as you can’t because this is the only body you have to live in.”

Natural Glam is a clean, on-demand beauty service. They currently do hair and makeup, and people can request services and products at the touch of a button. Just like ordering food or groceries, you can order this service instantly. 

“It’s just like Uber…you need a car. Boom it’s there. You need food. You click Postmates. You need your makeup..boom right there. And so it’s as simple as pushing a button and we’re there to service you and make you feel your most beautiful self. The healthy way,” explained Dr. Schaeffer.

In addition, the company is giving creators of safe, clean products a voice and a distribution channel. Natural Glam curates their platform carefully, so clients can trust the products being used. They also support local stylists and provide them with clean products to use with clients.

“I was always looking for an opportunity to combine different disciplines and treatment methods,” explains Dr. Kong. “I believe in rejuvenating a person from the inside out. That’s a very powerful approach to healing and applies to chronic conditions as well as anti-aging techniques.”

Now, with over 15 years of professional experience in the healthcare industry, Dr. Kong has proven herself as an accomplished practitioner who employs all the medical disciplines at her disposal to help her patients live longer and healthier lives.

“I believe that integrated cell therapy addresses all the underlying causes of most diseases,” Dr. Kong explains. “So we look at the lifestyle and diet and I order an extensive number of tests to help get to the root cause of the problem. These usually go much further than the typical blood tests ordered by a doctor. I will check for macronutrients, vitamin and mineral levels, inflammation, amino acids, the level of anti-oxidants, and hormone levels. This covers about 90% of  everything in terms of body functions and cell health.”

Once the patient has been thoroughly analyzed, Dr. Kong can then determine the best treatment to revitalize and rejuvenate the specific condition. “Most of my treatments involve IV therapies,” says Dr. Kong, “but I have also become specialized in the use of stem cells. The potential for the use of stem cells in regenerative medicine is huge.”

It’s in the area of stem cells that Dr. Kong has been doing her most innovative work. These stem cells are effective at promoting healthy, vigorous cells in the body, but as we age, the number of stem cells available to help do the healing work deteriorates greatly.

“Stem cells can calm inflammation, can balance the immune system and can also repair damaged cells and scar tissue. When you hear the term ‘bone marrow transplant,’ that’s a form of stem cell therapy,” says Dr. Kong. “The body produces these cells naturally, especially when we are young, so it isn’t like I’m putting something into the body that isn’t natural. These cells are the designated cells of regeneration in the body.”

Unable to find the quality of stem cell treatments she needed, Dr. Kong came up with an innovative formula and her own product line called CharaCore, which has been was selected by an independent research organization to be the product of choice in a large nationwide IRB-approved clinical study on the effect of stem cells on osteoarthritis. “This product contains about 20% of the most effective mesenchymal stem cells, and my patients have been getting wonderful results with this treatment,” says Dr. Kong. “This is the closest thing we have in terms of a so-called ‘fountain of youth.’ I am the only medical professional I know who is using this kind of integrated cell therapy, and so much suffering and even death can be alleviated through the use of these treatments.”

Dr. Joy Kong was just recently selected as Top Doctor of the Year in Stem Cell Therapy by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP) for her outstanding leadership and commitment to the profession. She remains actively engaged in clinical research on stem cell therapy and is a triple board-certified physician by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, American Board of Addiction Medicine and American Board of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine.

Mark Imperial, founder of Remarkable Radio and Press confirmed they have officially launched a Nationwide search to find 5 to 10 Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas to spotlight in the new book titled, “Remarkable Beauty: Meet America’s Leading Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas”, benefiting charity.

The charity will benefit from their story within the book, the publicity and media coverage that results, along with a pledge of 100% of the retail royalties.

Explaining the search process, Imperial said, “Just like our other charity books, we’ll be hand-picking Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas who are dedicated to educating the public about the little known truths about Aesthetic treatments and MedSpas, while at the same time, committing to spread the word about a great charity. The book chapters will be in interview format, making it fast and easy for our professionals to contribute and engaging for our readers.”

Imperial said, “For the Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas chosen to be spotlighted in the book, there is no fee, we simply ask a small contribution to the overhead of writing, editing, layout, design, and publishing the book. It’s a nominal, tax-deductible contribution that will get them published on Amazon, Kindle and other major book platforms so they can say ‘they wrote the book’ on beauty and aesthetics”.

Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas can submit their info at: https://remarkablepress.wufoo.com/forms/remarkable-beauty-charity-book-submit-your-info/

Imperial explained, “We are a business book publisher that helps Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas publish their own solo books to gain more clients and patients. These charity books are our foot-in-the-door, breakeven way to help causes, and help Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas at the same time.”

Imperial continued, “Our charity books are a fast and easy way for professionals to finally be seen as a published contributing author. If they ever dreamed of writing their own complete solo book, we hope this experience earns their future business, although there is no obligation.”

Scheduled for Fall 2019 release, “Remarkable Beauty: Meet America’s Leading Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas” will spotlight each Professional selected from this search, sharing their knowledge, specialties, and passion.

Imperial said, “The Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas we select must be passionate about helping and educating their market, and have good reputations.

They will answer the most common questions and bust the myths and misconceptions that so many people have about Aesthetic treatments. “Remarkable Beauty: Meet America’s Leading Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas” will share little known insights into the safety and effectiveness of different treatments and procedures”.

“With the publicity we receive from our books, we anticipate a lot of exposure around this project, for both the charity and the professionals we select to feature. Our readers get great information, our charity gets much needed exposure, and our Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas get published in print, possibly appear on our radio program, and get great exposure for their businesses in the news. It is sure to be a winner for all involved.”

Aesthetic Professionals and MedSpas can apply by submitting their information online at:

There may not be a hotter buzz word in the field of healthcare these days than “anti-aging.” As traditional medical practices give way to alternative, more preventative measures, these two young professional women are helping to change the thinking and practices that go into developing the mind/body connection that is now considered essential for well-being and healthy aging.

Luckily, as the anti-aging industry develops, emerging companies and professionals have a platform where their products can be discovered. Youthful and Ageless, or Y&A, is an internet-based platform created by Adrienne Papp and many of the emerging stars of the industry have found a productive home there.

Like Dr. Erin Lucie, who grew up playing in her mother’s beauty shop in Tulsa, OK. Little did she know that those early experiences would lead to a career emphasizing disease prevention and the promotion of health with an emphasis on aesthetic medicine as well.

After graduating from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor of Arts, Erin decided to focus on medical aesthetics and obtained a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from The University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. In 2011, Erin opened Mod Skin Nutrition in Tulsa, a private skincare clinic with a modern twist on traditional aesthetic procedures. She eventually completed her Masters and Doctorate in Nursing from the University of South Alabama.

As a newly credentialed Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) she was also invited to study alternative medicine with one of the top practitioners in the country, Dr. Jerome Block, who was doing groundbreaking work with protocols like neurotransmitter testing, hormone testing and the effectiveness of micronutrients in the diet. “Those studies gave me a whole new perspective on what medical treatments could involve,” Erin says. “It was about getting to the source of a disease. That’s Dr. Block’s legacy and I’m trying to keep it going.”

That continuation process now includes a new clinic that Erin has recently opened to focus on women’s health and health promotion, disease prevention and health education. Luminate Direct Anti-Aging Care is now open in Tulsa, offering hormone replacement, cosmetic injections (including the innovative cannula technique) and skin rejuvenation.

“In the last five years I have had zero patients who had either a stroke or cancer with any of my protocols,” says Erin, who is a member of The American Association of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery (AAAMS). “We want you to look better and feel better, and to do that you have to do the right things and do them safely.”

Lisa Watkins is another medical professional who is changing the paradigm of mental health. As a registered nurse, Watkins made her rounds administering treatments and encouragement to cancer patients, but soon she found she was also drawn to the work being done in an outpatient mental health facility in Bismarck, ND. The more she observed the more she realized that some of the patients had similar issues to those she had herself. “I just started asking a lot of questions and had a deep-rooted interest and need to help people who were hurting emotionally, as I was,” Watkins says.

Translating her experience at the clinic into private practice, Watkins soon was offering powerful help to people who were deeply troubled. Watkins also began doing energy work, including muscle testing, eventually becoming a level two Reiki healer. She was also able to begin to clear negative energies that were manifesting symptoms in her patients. 

“A lot of these symptoms are stress related and exacerbated due to poor diet,” Watkins explains. “Things like gluten, specifically, are known to cause increased inflammation in the body. Other culprits of increased inflammation and stress on the body are sugar, eggs and dairy.”

After ten years as a mental health nurse practitioner, Watkins has now developed a comprehensive practice that incorporates the teachings of Dr. Kelly Brogan, Dr. Brad Nelson and Dr. Joe Dispensa.

Both practitioners have been featured as Editor’s Choice in the Hollywood Weekly Magazine.

These two anti-aging professionals are now being represented by Adrienne Papp and her Youthful & Ageless digital branding 2020 marketing platform. She has had over two decades of experience as an American journalist, publicist, producer and commercial director.  She is the President and CEO of Atlantic Publicity, Atlantic Publisher, both multi-level media communication outlets focusing on extraordinary people with extraordinary true-life stories in print, on TV and the internet.

He creates works for art collectors, investors and galleries worldwide and is one of Sweden’s most-recognized artists. Eugén is best known for his watercolors, and his series of waterlily paintings has become his signature. In fact, his resume in the last five years alone includes more than 50 exhibitions around Sweden and abroad – including a number of upcoming events.

Peter has 9 exhibitions in Sweden and international in 2019.

With such a broad set of credentials, it may seem ironic that his nickname is Mr. Nobody, which resulted from an interview in which he was asked to describe who he is – and he responded with: “I am just nobody.” The moniker stuck.

A self-taught artist, Eugén says that through his powers of intuitive observation and attention to minute detail, he strives to create a final product that gives viewers the ability to experience the emotion behind the work. He says the contrasting styles of his paintings, watercolors and drawings are what define his art.

Eugén was born and raised in Sundsvall and said he was inspired from age five to become an artist by spending time with his artist grandfather in his studio, observing his techniques. Eugen started out focused mainly on nature then transitioned to portraiture after moving to Stockholm in 2007. He started dabbling in pop art a year later. His dramatic watercolors reflect his Nordic upbringing.  

“When I feel inspired, time ceases to exist and nothing else matters but what I am creating. I quite literally forget to eat and sleep,” he explained. “That is why I don’t allow the opinion of critics to sway me from pursuing my own personal style. I think my uniqueness born of those inspiration moments is a factor in the growing attention to my artwork,” explained Eugén. “If I tried to become a people pleaser, my work would become forced and fast lose their appeal. The world doesn’t need art with no heart.”

Eugén’s work can be found in many of Sweden’s largest auction houses and galleries as well as in restaurants, hotels and homes.

It’s no secret that there’s an epidemic health crisis in America, something that’s been developing over the past few decades. Fueled by the fast food industry, Americans have reached dangerous levels of obesity and health issues connected with being overweight. Chief amongst them are diabetes and heart disease.

Luckily, there are also an ever-increasing number of healthy lifestyle options available to those who have an interest in healthier, happier, more fulfilled lives.

One of the health professionals who has a growing passion to educate the public in terms of common health concerns is Dr. Donald Zone. For many years Dr. Zone, now of Hilton Head, SC, had a prominent career as a cardiologist in Pennsylvania treating heart disease, congenital heart problems, rhythm disorders and heart failure.

“If you had a heart attack and they wheeled you in through the emergency room doors, I was one of those you saw waiting for you,” Dr. Zone says. Now my mission is more of an educational one, helping others know how they can take responsibility, through lifestyle choices, for their own health,” Dr. Zone says. “Things like nutrition and stress reduction techniques such as activity and meditation are so very important in maintaining healthy function in our cells and therefore overall health.”

Simple changes in diet, it turns out, can help eliminate some of the factors that can result in heart disease. In recent years we’ve learned that inflammation is one of the culprits that can result in many forms of disease and damage to our bodies.

Often natural food supplements can assist in fighting disease, and even reverse some existing conditions. According to Dr. Zone, “Things like high quality omega 3s, turmeric, cumin and vitamin D have properties that will naturally fight disease, but most people don’t get a sufficient dose of these through diet or supplements, even if they regularly take vitamins. With omega 3s especially, it’s very important to make sure it’s from an uncontaminated source. We’ve found that krill oil, derived from a tiny shrimp that some whales feed on, is a very high quality and abundant source of omega 3.”

Vitamin E, which is now known to be at least 8 different identifiable compounds, is also a well-known nutrient that can help to minimize cell damage that occurs though stress, pollution and the toxins and chemicals present in many processed foods. 

“We also want to markedly reduce our intake of trans fats since they have been shown to be detrimental to our health. A better fat, and one that is part of the very healthy Mediterranean diet, is extra virgin olive oil, the type produced without chemical solvents. Avocados have also proven to contain very healthy fats. “I try to eat an avocado every day to keep my circulatory system healthy,” Dr. Zone says.

An overview of Dr. Zone’s heart healthy program, a healthy way of living through proper nutrition, activity, meditation and stress reduction, is laid out in his book, Heart Health Today: 6 Current Ways to Improve Our Heart Health.The Amazon best seller offers comprehensive, very specific advice on ways to protect your heart and entire body from a variety of compounds that can cause disease.

In addition to his efforts in public awareness, Dr. Zone is also training other doctors in ways to help prevent heart disease. He and others have embarked on a program called “Heart Health Today” that involves a blog with lots of preventative lifestyle information and is also presented on the platform of Youthful and Ageless, which is on various TV networks every day.  

“The field of heart health has come such a long way over my career, and now people have access to many advanced procedures and pharmaceuticals that can help maintain cardiovascular health, but what we can do for ourselves can be even more effective, especially in the long term, for maintaining heart health. It’s a very simple principle, and in short, I refer to this as ‘starting on the inside.’ By offering this information and the book, it’s my attempt at providing what I consider to be a modern-day house call.”

Dr. Zone also offers a variety of supplements on his website in support of rejuvenation science, as well as summaries of the most up-to-date scientific information on heart health. “We encourage you to review the supplement profiles and consider Biom3ga Krill Oil, Probiotics and Vitamin D-3 K-2 to start,” Dr. Zone suggests.

Dr. Donald Zone was recently featured by Adrienne Papp as Best Anti-Aging Doctor in Hollywood Weekly magazine. For more information on Dr. Zone’s heart healthy lifestyle, health supplements and his book visit https://hearthealthtoday.com  and YouthfulandAgeless.com.

“NASDAQ is one of the greatest and innovative wealth hubs in the United States, but what is wealth?” said Dahryn Trivedi to the audience of medical professionals and business leaders.

“Mayo Clinic says that over 97 percent of Americans are considered unhealthy and 50 percent of Americans have a chronic illness. Wealth doesn’t come in the currency of money, wealth comes in the currency of health.”

Trivedi asks the question, “What if the problem doesn’t lie in the food that we eat in the environment that we live in or in the supplements that we do or don’t take. What if the problem and the solution lie within us?”

Peridot
Peridot is gem-quality olivine. Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in
only one color: an olive-green. The shade of green depends on the amount of
iron in the crystal structure; so even a single peridot gem can vary from yellow to
olive, to brownish-green. Olivine is found in meteors, the moon and in Mars and
is a magnesium-rich gemstone. Peridot is semi-precious; deep green olivine
without iron and other inclusions is so rare to be considered a precious gem. It is
the birthstone of October. It is claimed to be protective against jealousy,
negativity, and resentment. Olivine is often confused with emerald.
 
Turquoise
Turquoise is an opaque, blue-to-green stone that often has black or metal veining
from mineral inclusions. It is rare and valuable at its finer grades and has been
prized as a gemstone and ornamental stone for thousands of years owing to its
unique color and patterns. Turquoise has been devalued like most opaque gems
by imitations and synthetics being mass-produced. Turquoise is normally treated
to enhance both its color and durability.

Life in Harmony is an innovative, action-oriented approach to well-being that encourages people to adopt the principles of lifestyle medicine for a more meaningful and fulfilling life. The system moves beyond medication to consider the whole self and takes individuals on a life-altering journey to health, healing, and happiness. Equipped with a healthy mix of traditional western medicine and holistic practices, Life in Harmony empowers people to take immediate action using an arsenal of simple strategies for shaping the life they were born to live.

Join Dr. Bernadette Anderson, M.D., M.P.H., December 2, 2018 from 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. at the Columbus Metropolitan Library – Martin Luther King Branch,1467 East Long Street, Columbus, OH 43203 at a special screening of her new show, Life in Harmony.

Dr. Bernadette Anderson is the brainchild behind Life in Harmony.

It’s important to understand that these are not mutually exclusive but instead work in tandem to help individuals achieve the life they desire.

• Health: Physical health focuses on an individual’s lifestyle and how it affects their health and well-being. It includes everything from fitness and nutrition to stress management, proper sleep habits, chronic illness, and maintenance or screening exams.
• Happiness: Mental health is an essential component of overall wellness. Dr. Bernadette Anderson gives people the courage to talk openly about mental health without the stigma that often accompanies it. She helps people uncover their own definition of happiness.

Dr. Bernadette Anderson’s strategies encompass everything from journaling, prayer and proper nutrition to exercise, deep belly breathing and unbridled laughter while taking into consideration that everyone is at a different place in life. This makes it possible for individuals to focus on different aspects of the program based on their immediate needs.

Mike Rowe, has agreed to have this rather intimate procedure filmed to ensure that men see how easy it is. As the host of Dirty Jobs, there are few things that have not been seen by the host. He is a personality who has worked for a very long time to share new areas of concentration and focus for Americans who wonder what different occupations would be like.

Awareness of this important condition is something that needs to be shared in as many locations as possible. Mike Rowe will have the exam in a live stream on YouTube, the entire commercial is a mere 2 minutes and 10 seconds, but in that time it could change the lives of anyone who sees it.The creative ad agency of Erich and Kallman is behind the advert and is working on raising awareness. Rowe has the exam from his real doctor and is sharing an intimate moment of his life to show how painless this process is.

How Common is Prostate Cancer

Numbers do not lie, around 161,360 new cases are diagnosed each year. Around 27,000 men die of it every year. This is the most common form of cancer aside from skin cancer out there. The key to survival is early detection and it is something that needs to be looked for after the age of 40 in men.

Many people are being diagnosed with prostate cancer every year and many celebrities are jumping on the bandwagon to ensure that early detection is the norm and not the exception.

Mike Rowe had a friend who was diagnosed with the cancer which is why he agreed to be a part of the advertisement. Who better to share the gospel of early detection than Mike Rowe? With early detection there is a huge difference in those who live and those who die.

Natalie Sakai, the founder of Contagious LA commented, “This advertisement was very important to me because my dad had Prostate Cancer and was cured because of early detection. Sharing the message and informing men all over the country is super important to make sure that more lives are saved. As the founder of Contagious LA, I could not be more pleased to see this kind of message going out to the masses.” This advertisement is one of the many steps towards informing and sharing this important message with men across the country and making the difference between life, complex treatments, and death.

Cayman Slimez Announced the Launch of a New Website. The project originated with the girls’ mother, who wanted them to spend quality time together, but the girls got it done with the help of their friends.

“Emmi & Abbi created some amazing slimez earlier this summer with a little help and encouragement from a few amazing friends, Calissa, Isabella, Janey, and Chloe. They wrapped up sales and donated a percentage of the proceeds to our local Humane Society. Well done, and I’m so proud of my girls for being so creative and for having such kind hearts!”

Two kids in the Grand Cayman Islands enlisted the help of their friends to create and sell colorful slimez for a charitable cause. During the summer of 2018, the girls sold over 50, 12-ounce containers of eye-catching, gooey slimez in an array of colorful and wacky designs. Kids and adults alike contributed to the cause, with sales concluding in August. A check with a percentage of the proceeds was sent to the local Humane Society.

The Team

Sisters, Abbigail J. Bodden, a university student, and Emily E. Bodden, a high school student brought the project to fruition. However, they credit their success — and a great deal of fun — to their generous friends, who contributed in the following roles:

Creative Team, Naming Labels: Calissa Ylagan and Isabella Seguin

Manufacturing and Production, Slime Generation: Janey Veilleux

Sales Manager: Chloe Jackson

Emily and Abbigail Bodden launched the effort following an idea first conceived by their mother, who wanted the girls to enjoy their summer together. In July 2018, the family kitchen was converted into a slimez science laboratory each evening after dinner, with production often running into the wee hours of the next day. Echoes of laughter and the moans of hard-working laborers could be heard from the family room, witnessed by a sympathetic mother.

The sisters fulfilled the company charter by thoroughly enjoying fun and quality time together. When the slimez were ready, Emily suggested that the family donate a percentage of the proceeds to the local Humane Society. Emily’s friend Janey came for a team-building exercise, known as a sleepover in some corners, at the company headquarters, also known by its former name, Abbi and Emmi’s house. Janey generously offered to create a special slime and encouraged the Bodden sisters in their altruistic endeavor.

Abbi put her considerable marketing skills to work and snapped the slimez in a variety of creative settings with Emily acting as a photography assistant and sometimes model. The following weekend, two other friends, Calissa and Isabella joined the team during a teambuilding event with Emily. Out of this brainstorming session, the slimez were assigned memorable names designed to appeal to the target audience — family and friends wanting to support ambitious kids and local animals. In exchange for their help, Calissa and Isabella received remuneration in trade and took home the slime of their choice.

Abbi’s marketing skills and Emmi’s creative talent led to the creation of an Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/cayman_slimez featuring the slimez in all their gooey glory, accompanied by the price and information about the benefiting charity. Sales concluded on August 10th, and a donation in the form of dog and cat food was given to the local Humane Society that afternoon.

Nike has announced on 9/3/18 their controversial decision to have Colin Kaepernick, former quarterback of the San Fransisco 49ers, act as the face of their 30th “Just Do It” branding campaign and that sparked a barrage of reactions and calls to boycott the company’s products.

The social media platforms as well as news outlets, showed people expressing disapproval from Nike’s selection and vowing never to by the brand’s gear while others are burning Nike’s clothes and shoes they own or cutting off the famous “swoosh” logo.

As a result of the strong reaction to the branding selection, Nike’s stock has lost 3% of its value, and some conclude it was a bad move – like actor James Woods that called it “brand suicide.”

But not all agree with that statement. Serena Williams tweeted her support to Kaepernick shortly after the new ad was released: “Especially proud to be a part of the Nike family today. #justdoit,” and LeBron James commented: “I stand with anyone who believes in change..and I stand with Nike every day, all day.”

On the same lines, marketing and brand expert, Barak Granot, wrote an article, published on Business Innovators Magazine, titled “Nike – Kaepernick: A Brilliant Move or a Branding Disaster?” in which he dissects the repercussions of the controversial decision from a marketing and branding standpoint.

“Nike took a significant risk,” says Granot, “they will lose money. The stock will take a dive and sales can be slow. It will diminish the brand in the short term.” Granot explains his stand but then adds that in the longer term, the move will prove as beneficial to Nike for several reasons.

“Nike knew that almost unanimously, celebrities will go all-in in supporting that move,” explains Granot and adds, “in the long run, the weight of celebrities endorsing Nike’s brand will outweigh the outrage that has no ‘face.’ The boycott movement will die off eventually because there is no one to lead it and to be the “celeb face” of it. Without celebrity endorsement, there will be less (if any) media coverage in the long run, and the cause will be forgotten.”

In the meanwhile, people rejecting Nike’s selection are slamming the company on social media and time will tell whether Nike chose right in getting involved in this charged debate or if those celebrities and experts were correct on their predictions.

Dr. William Burden, MD, FACS, became an Amazon Bestselling Author for the second time with his new book, Brazilian Butt Lift: Your Guide to Achieving the Best Long-Term Results. Amazon listed the book at Number 1 among all Plastic Surgery books and also as the Number 1 Hot New Release in multiple categories.

The book provides an overview of the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure for women considering this procedure. Surgical buttocks enhancement has evolved over the years and newer techniques have improved the outcome with much easier post-operative recovery. The reader will find useful information about a technique that Burden uses to harvest fat from areas of excess, filter and concentrate the fatty tissue for transfer, and to precisely graft the fat into the buttocks. The result is a slimming of certain areas where the fatty tissue was removed, such as the hips, thighs, or abdomen and fuller buttocks. The book is organized in an easy to read Question and Answer format that provides answers to the most common questions asked by prospective patients.

Brazilian Butt Lift: Your Guide to Achieving the Best Long-Term Results is available on Amazon in an eBook version at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G3D1BL9. A paperback version will also be available soon.

Dr. William R. Burden, MD, FACS, is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He is the founder and CEO of Destin Plastic Surgery in Destin, Florida and is also the founder of the Destin Surgery Center, housed in the same building.

During his fellowship in Plastic Surgery at the University of Florida, Dr. Burden worked with his professors to introduce endoscopic techniques in breast surgery and specialized microvascular techniques for breast and body reconstruction. He was one of the pioneers in researching the use of endoscopic or fiber optic technology for plastic surgery. Dr. Burden participates on a panel of surgeons advising plastic surgeons on techniques to improve the results of fat grafting to enhance the appearance of areas of the body including the face, breasts, buttocks, hands, and other areas needing contouring.

Carol began her nail career in Oregon in 1990 by working at a larger scale “spa salon” for several months to establish her nail business and clientele.  

Working in a large and noisy salon helped her discover that she had a desire to be her own boss and offer more personalized nail services in a one on one type of intimate and private setting.

This inspired  Ms. Houser to start a home-based nail salon that she managed independently from her home in Oregon for 10 years.

Carol said, “As I looked over and assessed my situation and what I ultimately wanted to do, the entrepreneurial flame was lit. By starting a home-based nail salon, this allowed me the freedom to be home for my daughters and also helped me understand how much my clients appreciated the private and personalized nail services without the noisy buzz of larger salons.”

In 2000 after establishing a successful business of 12 years, Carol was drawn to the sun and decided to move to Scottsdale, Arizona.

She said, “It was a little scary in the beginning, as my client base was in Oregon, but my clients and friends kept telling me that this type of individualized and personal pampering would be a perfect fit for me in Scottsdale, so my daughters and I made the leap and moved.”

She wrapped up and said, “While the initial move to Arizona was indeed a little scary, I am so blessed by how warmly I was accepted into the community and all the amazing friendships I have made, and stories shared with my clients. We changed the name of the salon from the ‘The Nail Studio’ to ‘The Nail Lady’ in 2017 as that is what everybody calls me, so it seemed a perfect match!  It now 28 years later in the nail biz and I still love what I do!”

The Nail Lady’s specialties include both men’s and women’s manicures and pedicures, Shellac gel manicures and pedicures, Acrylic nail enhancements, airbrushed French manicures and enhanced callus removal.

Her client’s comments show that she really delivers an exceptional service:

In following a recent tradition of monthly events, the Medical Day Spa of Chapel Hill is kicking off Summer 2018 with two exciting events in July. The first event on July 10th is a Microneedling Event and back by popular demand, one week later they are hosting a Kybella(r) Event on July 17th.  Both Events will be held at their office located at 101 Conner Dr #402 Chapel Hill NC 27514.

Dr. Berger indicated past events have been a tremendous success saying, “Past events have been a lot of fun and informative for our patients.  Availability filled up fast which is why we are having our 2nd event, with Kybella so soon.”

The 1st Event will be held on July 10, 2018 from 11 am to 5 pm.  The Microneedling Event will include a package of 3 treatments and for those who book and have their first treatment during the event will receive a complimentary plasma-rich protein add-on.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that stimulates the skin to create new collagen and hyaluronic acid giving more strength and suppleness to the skin.  It is an excellent and less intensive alternative to fractional CO2 laser for those who want to avoid the downtime.

The 2nd Event will be a week later on July 17, 2018 from 10 am to 3 pm.  This event has limited appointment availability and has been requested weekly since the last Kybella event.  All patients who schedule Kybella treatments for the day of the event will receive a nice discount off their treatments.

Kybella is the only FDA approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area. Kybella treatment is perfect for those who have a double chin they want to eliminate.  Recently it has also been used to treat “bra fat” and other unsightly areas where pockets of fat tend to hang out like knees and thighs.

Berger also stated, “Having these events at our 5 star MediSpa gives us the opportunity to educate our patients new and old on services they might have never thought about that can help their appearance and confidence in a relaxing stress-free environment.”

Georgia top-rated cosmetic dentist Dr. Erick V. Pagan has reached #1 on the Amazon.com Bestsellers List with his book “The Million Dollar Smile: Changing Lives with Cosmetic Dentistry.” The book gives patients real world, practical information to help them in obtaining the best possible restorative and cosmetic dental work.

“Getting positive recognition for this book is an honor,” said Dr. Pagan, “but it is even more rewarding to know patients will benefit from this timely, useful information. My purpose in writing was to show how the beauty of the fine arts can be applied to aesthetics in smile design; it is to that end I continually strive to better serve my patients.”

Dr. Pagan will author a chapter on dental crowns for “The Million Dollar Smile”, a restorative and cosmetic dental treatment that he has vast experience in.

“The Million Dollar Smile” was created as a common-sense approach to allow readers to learn the facts about dental treatments from the experts. The book is written in layman’s language that the average person can easily understand. It is intended not as a textbook for dental professionals, but as a helpful guide for ordinary people looking for top quality dental work. The expert contributors to “The Million Dollar Smile” are dentists who have advanced training and skills in modern dentistry and vast experience with procedures such as implants, veneers, and orthodontics.

Dr. Pagan graduated cum laude from his undergraduate studies at Valdosta State University and then went on to dental school at the Medical College of Georgia. After working at a group practice in Savannah, Georgia for a number of years, he eventually purchased and combined two dental practices in Washington, Georgia, creating Pagan Affinity Dentistry, where he practices today.

Dr. Pagan has talents beyond his dental skills. In addition to painting, being an accomplished singer, songwriter, and recording artist has led to him being known as “The Singing Dentist”. Ever since he began practicing, Dr. Pagan has enthusiastically pursued additional dental education and constantly expanded his skills in order to better serve his patients. 

Dr. Pagan’s practice offers truly comprehensive dental care, including treatment options such as full mouth reconstruction, Invisalign and Clear Correct braces, dental bridges and crowns, implants, laser dentistry, and oral cancer screening. Dr. Pagan uses the newest and most up-to-date technology in order to help his patients address whatever dental issues they have and provide them with a beautiful smile and the best possible oral health.

“The Million Dollar Smile: Changing Lives with Cosmetic Dentistry” became a #1 Bestseller on Amazon in the United States and Canada within one week of the launch, and #3 in the UK. It can be found in both the Dentistry and Oral Health categories.

Tampa Bay top-rated periodontist, Dr. Jessica Stilley, has reached #1 on the Amazon.com Bestsellers List with her book “The Million Dollar Smile: Changing Lives with Cosmetic Dentistry.” The book gives patients real world, practical information to help them in obtaining the best possible restorative and cosmetic dental work.

“Getting positive recognition for this book is an honor,” said Dr. Stilley, “but it is even more rewarding to know patients will benefit from this timely, useful information. My purpose in writing was to educate patients on the importance of keeping the health of their gums. A lot of people are not aware of the harmful effects of gum disease, and while it is a prerequisite for all cosmetic procedures, it also can affect their quality of life and overall health.”

Dr. Stilley writes about gum disease and treatment options, explaining the different types of gum problems, their consequences and methods of treatment.

Dr. Jessica Stilley received a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology and then went on to receive her dental degree from the University of Florida. Following this, she spent several years at Ohio State University, graduating with her Masters of Science and Periodontal training.

Highly dedicated to ongoing education and training in the field of cosmetic and restorative dentistry, Dr. Stilley has been recognized for a wide range of accomplishments related to her extensive knowledge and exceptional skills. She won the Florida Association of Periodontists Award in 2005, was named the Chief Resident at Ohio State University from 2007-2008 and was named the President of both the West Pasco Dental Association and the Hillsborough County Periodontal Society from 2013 to 2014. She has recently become a Florida Board of Dentistry Anesthesia Inspector.

As the very first Board-certified periodontist is Pasco County, she is properly proud of the high standards of expertise and professional conduct that she maintains daily in her private practice. She’s a firm believer in having a beautiful, healthy smile and in the positive effects that has on the overall health and happiness of her patients. “I believe a healthy mouth is just the start of a healthy body,” she said. “Everyone deserves both.”

Florida fashion designer Michael Della Penna has introduced what could be the most versatile and creative women’s fashion sportswear brand created in the USA. A statement as bold and vibrant as the colors of this abstract art-based sportswear line that can be worn as workout gear or as trendy and fashionable upscale attire for a dinner party or club attire for a trendy nightclub. Della Penna Fashion is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to kick off the line and give prospective customers a chance to get some great deals in exchange for pledges. We recently spoke to Della Penna and went over the basics of his goals for the new clothing line.

The Main Problem: Over 95% of women’s fashion sportswear sold today is not exciting, with repetitive stock prints, dull colors, and made with low tech fabrics. Mass production of sportswear is being outsourced overseas causing an increase in supply and price deflation in the U.S. wholesale channel, which is already overwhelmed with product that all looks the same. This is a challenging problem when customers search for a unique and innovative product but see limited options from top companies already selling women’s fashion.

The Art: Based on their surveys, 89% of female participants consider art, that is printed on Sportswear, to be a strong element of self-empowerment, self-expression and a visual fashion statement. According to a Forbes Lifestyle article, “Be Bold, Wear A Graphic Print . . . Women should consider incorporating a graphic print. Advancements in sublimated printing technologies and traditional knitwear have resulted in an explosion of complex, colorful graphic print garments. This trend has popped up everywhere from activewear leggings to cocktail dresses.”

The Della Penna Fashion Art Collection is all about the creative Original Art Component, and it’s not just printed on leggings, but printed on everything that the brand manufactures, unlike most top women’s sportswear brands who shy away from placing bold art on their tops, jackets and dresses. Della Penna stated “Each garment is designed and printed with a digitally engineered method using bright color saturation and special effects that offer a powerful visual impact to our customer. Our survey research also tells us that our collection transcends demographic generations.” “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life,” – Pablo Picasso.

Made in USA: While more than 97 percent of apparel sold in the U.S. are made overseas, according to the American Apparel & Footwear Association, the Della Penna Fashion Art collection is made in the USA. The main disadvantages of manufacturing outside the US that affect Americans are poor quality, lack of control and most importantly loss of intellectual property. This means that American ideas can be stolen and utilized around the world with almost no legal recourse for American designers.

The benefits of American manufacturing mean investment and finance for the American economy. The more that this reasoning is pushed into national manufacturing, the more the nation’s economy will reap the benefits. With growth in American manufacturing, comes a surge in investment opportunities, which benefits all Americans.

The Inspiration: Michael Della Penna is a student of Art History and has always believed that Art and Fashion have inspired each other since the beginning of creativity. He draws inspiration from mythological stories which explain our beliefs and our history; thus, providing a rich source of creativity. This inspiration fosters profound creativity that offers the customer a product unlike other fashion sportwear manufacturers in the marketplace.

The Solution: Their customers tell them that when they wear the collection, many people, men and women alike, stop them and ask them questions about the clothing such as, “where can I find it?”.. or “where did you buy it?” And they comment how unique, exciting and how it projects energy from across the room.
According to Michael, “The benefit to our customers is simply that they feel great and look great when they wear our apparel!”

Daily Success Creator and Publisher Tami Patzer,  bestselling author, speaker, coach and self-publishing expert, has launched a new book called Women Innovators: Leaders, Makers, and Givers – Women Who Make a Daily Difference. It was written as a way to help inspire people into action, offering a blueprint for living life fully.

More information can be found at: http://tamipatzer.com

In Patzer’s book, Becky Norwood, author of the foreword, explains that the dictionary describes an innovator as a person who introduces new methods, ideas, or products. Her mind conjures up images of pioneers, creators and brilliant people.

In today’s noisy, busy world, one could be forgiven for thinking there is nothing new under the sun. However, because the world is so connected, and people are constantly bombarded with the latest inventions and technology, people need to be creative and innovative in order to adapt and thrive.

Becky goes on to say that in the Women Innovators book, readers will learn about and hear from women who have done just that. Some have gone to the bottom of the pit, then had the courage to rise above their adversity and thrive.

Others discuss how they were able to find out what was at the root of their upheaval, and how they discovered the solution. All, at the root of their being, have had the heart to share and give, becoming a force for changing the world.

She says: “These women are not content to keep their light under a bushel basket, but rather share their innovative thinking, ideas, and products for the world to enjoy.”

She goes on to add: “This book is a gift to you, our readers. May it inspire you, spur your innovative spirit to action, and provide a blueprint for living life fully, with contentment and joy. If you are struggling right now, know you are not alone. Know that there is a sisterhood waiting to lock arms and lift you up with support and care.”

Navi Dowty, internationally known speaker, bestselling author, educator and retirement income planner, and better known as the creator of the famous ‘Smiling Retiree’ method, recently spoke at the prestigious Business Expert Forum at Harvard Faculty Club. Apart from talking about his celebrated approach to money and finance, Dowty gave a rare glimpse into his childhood experiences that ultimately led him to evolve his now famous income and finance principles.

Dowty has alerted everyone to the three crushing financial tides that can wipe out valuable savings, and these are rising taxes, rising interest rates and rising inflation. But why is he so concerned about these? His speech at the Harvard Faculty Club revealed how his confrontation with a mugger made him think, and when his grandmother lost her savings to bad investments by her relatives, he knew that financial predators abound in the world around us.

“Your biggest financial predators won’t be people, they’ll be various circumstances. Mainly taxes,” Dowty said. And for those who want to succeed, Dowty advised, “Figure out what your customers really want and get it for them. You will get what you want if you get them what they want.”

Dowty’s personal experiences led to his founding nine financial companies and his popular ‘Smiling Retiree Process’, as outlined in his classic book, “Financial Success: For The Smiling Retiree”. Today he is a financial educator, author and retirement income planner, who’s earned the prestigious Chartered Financial Analysts designation held by less than 1% of the financial advisory community.

The biggest myth of leadership that Dowty wants to expose is about the emptiness of short-term bottom lines. Instead he calls for a focus on building lifetime value for customers. “Buy whatever you are selling. If your company sells a product, buy it yourself. If they provide a service, use it for you and your family,” he recommends. For building leadership, he thinks that keeping agreements and leading by example are all important.

Creating ‘smiling retirees’ for over forty years, Dowty is also the founder of the DuPage Tax Group, which is a member of the United Cloud Partners Services, and operates in a private and secure, IRS Circular 230 compliant communications network to submit all state and federal tax work documents.

Daphna Levy, the author of Picking Right: The Single’s Guide to Finding the Right Match, has expanded her book with three new chapters and is launching its second edition on Kindle. Picking Right has been credited with helping many examine their choices of partners and find true love. The new edition now offers even more help for those who wish to “marry right.”

Picking Right provides tools about how to choose the right match, build and preserve a strong relationship. According to a 2012 U.S. Census Bureau survey, 41% of first marriages end in divorce as well as 60% of second marriages and 73% of third marriages. Therefore, there is a great need for insight to help those in the early stages of choosing a partner and beginning a relationship.

According to the author, many people struggle with relationship problems that stand in the way of their success in careers and all areas of life. “Relationship issues provide distractions,” says Levy, “which prevent people from focusing on their goals.” Although the original edition of Picking Right reportedly helped many people, others wrote Levy stating that they kept repeating the same mistakes and choosing the wrong partners for a second or third time, despite the insight they had gained from the book.

In an effort to provide even more information on making healthy relationship choices, Levy added three bonus chapters, including tips that she calls “extra help for being ruthless” in choosing the right partner. “I hope that these new chapters will speak to those who have been involved in bad relationships in the past and are now looking for a better way to find true love,” says Levy.

Reader Pamela Cáceres-Dicso, who benefited from the information in the book, wrote this to the author: “I was in a wrong relationship, on and off. I knew it was wrong. The book just confirmed it. But it also gave me hope because I always believed that my true partner was out there somewhere! Your book made it easier for me to see what I wanted and what I was looking for and be certain about it. It’s a must-read book for anyone so they don’t get trapped in the wrong relationships.” Using the information in the book, Cáceres-Dicso later met and married her true love, with whom she is building a lasting relationship.

Daphna Levy provides relationship coaching at her headquarters located at 424 N. Lake Ave., Suite 303, Pasadena, CA, 91101, in her satellite office at 4200 Easton Dr., Suite 2, Bakersfield, CA, 93309 as well as internationally, through Skype.

Jody Samuels was a featured speaker at the Annual Thought Leaders Conference Business Expert Forum at the Harvard Faculty Club. These thought leaders include CEOs, dignitaries, professionals and best-selling authors from around the world. Jody is a professional trader, trader’s coach, and author.

Samuels soon realized from her institutional trading background, that aspiring traders lacked the guidance to graduate from the “Technical Trader’s Trap” to be able to run their own successful trading businesses.

Samuels’ father taught her that moderation is the key to a well-balanced life. “Every time I made a choice, I thought about my dad,” she said.

Thrust into the volatile world of trading, she learned that although she couldn’t control how the markets reacted to the up and down swings, she had to learn how to moderate her reactions to losing and making money from one second to the next.

“I had to learn about balancing; fear on one side and greed on the other,” Samuels said.

Finding balance in her trading career and personal life became her quest. Eventually, she left institutional trading and set up her own shop. “Instead of creating discipline, I created habits,” she said.

This realization served as her inspiration to write the highly acclaimed book “The Trader’s Pendulum: The 10 Habits of Highly Successful Traders.”

Author and skin care expert Michelle Valeri’s recent release, Promised Results, Finally! What The $71 Billion Beauty Industry Doesn’t Want You To Know hit Amazon.com’s best seller list on December 1, 2017, climbing all the way to #1, #2, and #3 in the Medical eBooks in Dermatology, Kindle Short Reads of Health, Fitness, and Dieting.

A New, Reliable Approach To Skin Care Solutions
In response to the book hitting #1, #2, and #3, Valeri shared, “I’ve been passionate about finding solutions for persistent skin care problems for people for a long time. What I know is that most of the advertised and available products don’t actually work for many people, but what does work to reverse the effects of aging and the effects of acne is a natural approach of diet and lifestyle, combined with Chinese medi-facial massage treatments. While these Eastern philosophies are new to most Americans, they are not new, and not expensive in comparison to the well-known products that simply don’t work. I am so thrilled this book is on the bestseller lists, because it shows me that this type of approach is exactly what frustrated women across America need right now!”

With the recent controversy in the headlines around medical professionals disputing the health claims and approaches made by lifestyle brand websites produced by celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and her blog GOOP, having a new voice like the one expressed in Promised Results, Finally! is important, and a must-read for women dealing with ance or looking for real solutions to reverse aging.

Dr. Vespa maintains a focus on giving patients an ideal smile, always guided by his concern for their oral and overall health and comfort at the forefront of his mind. “I’ve dedicated my life to continually refining my therapeutic and diagnostic skills when it comes to all aspects of dentistry, including therapies such as clear orthodontics and endodontics, oral surgery, and laser therapy. But the most important aspect of care for me is always the relationship I have with each patient. I want my patients to feel always comfortable in trusting me to give them a beautiful smile that makes them feel good about themselves. I want everyone I treat to feel perfectly satisfied with the results when I’ve completed their treatment,” Dr. Vespa says.

She lives by this motto and puts the highest priority on quality care for all of her patients, something that has helped her grow her business into the successful operation it is today. “We go above and beyond dental care by concentrating on the patients’ overall health and well-being,” she notes. Cosmetic dentistry is a focal point of Dr. Alani’s practice, along with maintaining skill and precision when it comes to all phases of general dentistry.

Dr. Alani is already actively involved with educating the public through her popular YouTube channel and as a dental spokesperson frequently appearing as a guest on television shows.

Dr. Firouzian is dedicated to continually working to offer his patients, in his words, “the exceptional dental care they need and deserve.” He’s also passionate about having the answers patients want and need. “Over the last 20 years, there have been a lot of unanswered questions in this field. I want to find the answers to these questions, answers that haven’t been readily available.”

As Dr. Firouzian has pursued these answers and studied new and different procedures that offer his patients better treatment options, he’s encouraged this same understanding and training level for his team as well. “My team is the best. All of my patients can trust that every member in our office will deliver the best treatment options and skilled and knowledgeable care. My background, and the strength of my team, has elevated me to being a “Top 3 Dentist”; I couldn’t be prouder of that.”

On a recent episode of Remarkable Radio with Mark Imperial, Laura Benarosch, Managing Director of Concierge Med Spa, discussed Full-Service Luxury Med Spa Benefits Are For Both Women and Men.

According to Benarosch, regardless of age, preventative treatments are better than corrective.

Benarosch, said “So it’s not just for aging people, it is for young people too. When you’re younger, it’s easier to keep you looking great and keeping those problems under control than it is to go and fix it and correct it once it’s a severe problem”.

When host Mark Imperial asked what is hot today in Med Spa treatments, Benarosch answered, “So there’s two categories — body contouring, CoolSculpting is the hottest thing that’s out there that everybody’s talking about. Even the celebrities are doing it too. The treatment is for that pinchable, squeezable, unwanted fat in problem areas. The chin, arms, stomach, inner and outer thighs; love handles; the banana roll under the butt…Everybody wants to be skinnier. The skinny even wants to be skinnier! So something that we talk about to almost all of our clients is Body Contouring. Second category, you have your injectable clients — your Botox, your dermal fillers.  We are top tier in the country. Dermal fillers help to put everything back in place before volume loss occurred”.

During the Interview Benarosch shared a common misconception, explaining, “Well, I think people will hear of a buzz word like Botox — the word Botox can be sometimes taboo. There’s like a false stigma to it. So I think with Botox what you have to understand is, it’s not permanent. It only lasts three to four months. The good and the bad news — the good news is if you hate it, it goes away in three to four months. The bad news is, if you love it, it goes away in three to four months”.

Laura Benarosch is the Managing Director of Concierge Med Spas with locations in Naperville, Geneva, Barrington, and Chicago, Illinois.

The interview concluded with Benarosch saying “We would love for you to come and book a free consultation. You can find us on Facebook you can follow us on Instagram and our Web site is http://conciergemedspa.com/ or you can always call our main number and that can get to all of our locations which is 630-715-2853. ”.

John Rankins spoke at the Entrepreneurship Student Club at Harvard Business School’s Business Expert Forum recently and shared the stage with Best-Selling Author Suzanne Somers, who recently released “Tox-Sick to Not Sick. “It was an honor to meet Suzanne Somers and to speak at Entrepreneurship Student Club at Harvard Business School’s Business Expert Forum,” Rankins said. He was also honored as Global Business Innovator 

The message he shared with the audience is simple. Life is beautiful, life is unfair, life will knock you down, but life is still beautiful.

“I’ve had challenges all my life and a lot of them haven’t been fair. The second being that life will knock you down. Even though I became a millionaire, I lost everything several times,” Rankins said.

He discovered that the director of his company had stolen everything. He had to leave his country on a boat to Singapore just to go under the radar where he set up a new company because he was blacklisted in his own country.

He did get to buy his mother a house before it happened. 

“That’s why life is not fair. Life will knock you down, but at the end of the day life is beautiful,” he said.

“It’s not what happens to you that matters, it’s what you do about it. The measure of a man is not determined by his attitude when he’s on top of the world and everything is great,” Rankins said. “It’s determined by how you can rebound when things aren’t going well. It’s having a great attitude and start over. That’s what I was able to do. That’s why I know that life is beautiful.”

 Rankins is also helping make life beautiful through his 1,000 smiles campaign. It started seven years ago when he met a young girl with a cleft palate and a cleft lip. Her mouth and face were disfigured.

“When I saw her begging on the street, it brought me to tears. It made me appreciate how much that I have in my life and how grateful I am,” he said.

He created a campaign called One Thousand Smiles, to make a difference in the lives of 1,000 children. So far he has paid for the surgery of 121 children. He donates all the proceeds from the programs the sells online at his website JohnRankins.com as well as his book “Life Mastery Playbook,” to these children and their surgeries.

“That’s my cause. I live in the Philippines so this is my community and I believe in giving back to where you live and to your community and this is dear to my heart,” said Rankins.

John Rankins is the international best-selling author of the Life Mastery Playbook, founder of the Revolution Mastermind and president of Optimo International.

Known for his entrepreneurial focus on sales and leadership Rankins’ mission to develop leaders and change lives is the reason he’s one of the most sought after business trainers alive today. His sales and training expertise has built more than 2,000 people’s businesses over the last 25 years with businesses generating more than 100 million dollars in revenue in the last five years alone. He has trained more than 10,000 people in sales and leadership and has a massive sales force of 4,000 all over Southeast Asia. His world class programs transform the lives of people; both personally and professionally, doubling sales in more than 20 companies in less than 90 days in the last two years.

Children will receive payment of $1 per pound of candy up to five pounds.  This will allow the children to earn money for their Halloween candy and also serves the purpose of cutting down on candy consumption by children, benefiting their dental health. 

According to All Smiles, “Anyone can donate to the candy buyback by bringing Halloween candy or by making a cash donation which will be used to benefit worthy causes.  Individual children as well as school groups, church groups or clubs can be a part of this candy drive or use this opportunity to collect candy to benefit both children and our troops.”

The candy buyback will benefit Operation Gratitude, a holiday program that sends packages to troops overseas.  All the candy will be shared with this organization so that troops can enjoy candy as part of their holiday celebrations in locations like Iraq, Afghanistan and throughout the world wherever American service people are stationed.

For more information on All Smiles Orthodontics and Children’s Dentistry, see their website at http://allsmileskids.com/.

Newly launched non-profit, Betrayal Trauma Recovery (BTR), is an organization that focuses solely on the spouses of porn users. They help spouses experiencing neglect as a result of their partners’ porn addiction. BTR is one of very few organizations that focus on helping the partners of addicts through the addicts’ anger, resentment, infidelity, psychological abuse, and manipulation as well as emotional, financial, and sexual neglect.

“Too often, when therapists guide clients to build and nurture intimacy with someone who still exhibits unhealthy and/or abusive behaviors, it sets those clients up for more frequent, severe, and covert abuse,” said Anne Blythe, Founder & CEO of Betrayal Trauma Recovery. The clients with BTR are advised to prioritize emotional safety, empowering them to set and maintain boundaries that are crucial to establish a peaceful life.

“At first, I thought we could work through my husband’s porn addiction just the two of us. I thought I could inspire him to quit,” said Ashley, a BTR client. “What I didn’t realize is that I was being emotionally abused and that he had been lying and deceiving me – ultimately choosing porn over our marriage. Thanks to BTR, I was able to understand the patterns of narcissism and gaslighting and come to a place of empowerment and strength that actually helped me.”

BTR stresses that setting healthy boundaries to establish safety, stability and peace is the first priority. “We do not advocate for divorce or staying together,” says Coach Rae, certified by The Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialists (APSATS) and Coaching Coordinator at BTR. “Our goal is to help our clients make healthy, informed decisions about their relationships.” Many clients have found essential education and validation from listening to the free Betrayal Trauma Recovery podcast.

BTR coaches use APSATS’ Multi-Dimensional Partner Trauma Model (MPT-M) which urges clients to secure emotional safety and stability before attempting to process the complexities of the situation, and before encouraging clients to explore emotional reconnection to their porn-using loved ones.

Betrayal Trauma Recovery gives people access to various online support services including groups and support calls with a coach trained by APSATS. Additionally, all BTR coaches have experienced betrayal trauma first hand, and understand the healing process.

Betrayal Trauma Recovery is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, available when people need immediate emotional refuge from the pain, chaos, and isolation associated with their partner’s pornography use, sex addiction and/or related behaviors like lying, gaslighting, emotional abuse, and narcissistic behaviors.

This book contains practical information on how to choose the right dental care for every need along with tips and tricks to help patients have a healthy, beautiful smile.

A Reason to Smile was created as a common-sense approach to allow readers to learn the facts about dental treatments from the experts. The book teaches patients what to look for in a dentist as well as how to spot problems and treat them pro-actively. Dental patients are given information on a wide range of topics including orthodontics, preventative care and cosmetic dentistry.

The book has been hailed as a handbook for patient empowerment. By giving dental patients the information they need to make informed choices, McDowell and Feldman hope that they will understand the benefits of choosing various procedures, particularly those labeled as “cosmetic.” In many cases, according to the authors, cosmetic procedures are far more important that simply improving appearance; often, they can be the key to lifelong dental health and increased self- confidence.

“It is a great honor to receive positive critical acclaim for this book,” said Dr. Ernest McDowell, “but it is even better to learn that patients are benefitting from this information. Our purpose in writing was to help patients everywhere understand their dental care options and make good choices.”

Dr. Ernest McDowell and Dr. Randy Feldman have become recognized for their expertise in the field of Orthodontics. In their chapter, “Let’s Get Something Straight: Orthodontics,” they discuss the different orthodontics options patients have and how these methods have allowed thousands of patients to improve their smile and overall health as a result of having correctly aligned teeth.

A Reason to Smile became a #1 Bestseller on Amazon in the United States, #1 in Canada and #2 in the UK. It can be found in both the Dentistry and Oral Health categories.

Dr. Feldman set up his orthodontic practice in 1982 and led the effort to add fluoride to the Hillsborough County water supply and was recognized for his efforts by the FDA in 1986. Dr. Feldman was the first Invisalign Elite Preferred Provider in Tampa Bay, Florida, a distinction that puts him in the top 1% of all Invisalign providers worldwide, having treated over 2900 Invisalign patients. Dr. Feldman obtained his DDS degree from The Ohio State University. He serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at USF College of

Medicine and is also on staff in the Division of Pediatric Plastic Surgery at All Children’s Hospital/John’s Hopkins Medicine in St. Petersburg, Fla. Dr. Feldman is very active in community endeavors. He helped developed a dental and medical care education program for Hillsborough and Pinellas County schools entitled More Health, Inc. and established the Feldman Orthodontics College Scholarship program. Dr. Feldman was recently honored by the Tampa Bay Lightning Foundation as a Community Hero! Go Bolts!

Dr. McDowell, with over 30 years of experience as a practicing Orthodontist, is also a designated Elite Provider of Invisalign treatment, and is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction held by only 20-25% of all orthodontists. He has been nominated as one of Americas Top Dentists for 10 years in a row, and was recently invited to become a member of The Schulman Group, a recognized invitation-only association that is composed of only the top 1% of all orthodontic practices in North America. Dr. McDowell, who earned his

D.M.D. degree from the University of Florida, says that, “It’s always amazing and fulfilling to see what a difference a stunning smile makes in overall self-esteem and self-confidence. I’m happy to contribute to this worthwhile project designed to help patients learn more about the latest dental procedures they can take advantage of to get the kind of truly attractive smile that everyone wants to have.”

Dr. Corinne Weaver was a featured speaker at the annual thought leaders’ conference Business Expert Forum at the Harvard Faculty Club, which includes CEOs, dignitaries, professionals, bestselling authors, technical and medical experts from around the world. She shared the stage with New York Time Bestselling author Suzanne Somers. 

Dr. Weaver lost her health when she was 10 years old from a bike accident and had issues with asthma and allergies that she thought she always would have to endure.

“The doctors my parents took me to never looked at my spine as causing any of the symptoms I was having,” said Dr. Weaver. “They just treated my symptoms with medication. My journey of taking medicine began.”

She spent the next years being dependent and living on breathing machines twice a day and having an inhaler in her pocket at all times.

After her first Upper Cervical adjustment at age 21, her health began to improve with Upper-Cervical care and natural herbal remedies. But that accident was not a coincidence: it was her destiny to learn how to heal her body, so she could help thousands of others do the same.

This brought about a drug-free wellness lifestyle for her and her family, and she enthusiastically discovered her calling of helping children heal naturally. The last thirteen years, Dr. Weaver has spent helping thousands of clients to restore and bring back optimum body functions.

She realized that she can only help so many people from her practice located in Indian Trail, North Carolina, so she decided to write a book “Learning How To Breathe,” which became an International No. 1 best seller and “No More Meds.”

“One of the biggest challenges I see,” said Dr. Weaver “is we are brainwashed to believe drugs heal. People think that insurance will pay and when they find out that they have to take responsibility for their own health and lifestyle changes; they are not ready.”

What makes Dr. Weaver stand out is the personal and caring relationship she has with each client. After listening to them share their story and their health challenges, she then runs a variety of specific diagnostic tests like blood work, X-rays, thermography, allergy testing, hormone testing, stool tests, EEG, and hair analysis to determine what may be causing their health problems.

Because of the thoroughness and detail that goes into the care and treatment of every patient; her practice Upper Cervical Wellness Center has successfully helped people who are experiencing symptoms such as pain and inflammation, migraines, digestive issues; ear infections in infants and children; brain dysfunction; asthma and allergies; unexplained weight gain; chronic fatigue; high blood pressure; depression and other mood disorders; blood sugar imbalances and sleep problems.

Dr. Weaver said, “Healing takes time. Usually, people want to take a vitamin for a few days and feel better. Most people I see have been sick for years so they need to understand that it may take a few months to get your health back. It took me a full year to throw away all of my meds and ever since that day sixteen years ago I have not gone back.”

Recently named one of Charlotte Magazine’s “Top Doctors” for 2016, and in a recent Forbes.com thought leadership interview, she shared:

”Thought leadership is thinking bigger than yourself. Biggest value a leader can possess is truly making a positive difference in this negative world. To be a great leader you have to be a great listener. God gave us two ears and one mouth, so we should listen twice as much as we speak.”

Dr. Corinne Weaver is a compassionate Upper Cervical chiropractor, educator, motivational speaker, mother of three, and international bestselling author. She is the founder of Upper Cervical Wellness Center in Indian Trail, NC, since 2004. In the last 13 years, she has helped thousands of clients restore the brain to body function. Dr. Weaver is an international bestselling author of “Learning How to Breathe” and “No More Meds.” She was recently named one of Charlotte Magazine’s “Top Doctors” for 2016.

Dr. Anthony Pivonka is an innovator and bestselling author in scoliosis treatment. He knows firsthand that patients wearing a corrective scoliosis brace may not be doing their stretching exercises correctly which can lead to further curvature, or delay improvements in posture.  So, he recently connected with a PhD professor at ASU named Dr. Jorge Caviedes to figure out how to monitor the quality and efficiency of these stretching exercises and movements while a patient is away from the clinic, using high tech wearable technology.

Together, the Doctors integrated stretch sensors into a special cloth that will be woven into a garment i.e. a T-shirt. The garment will sync up wirelessly by Bluetooth in conjunction with a phone app that will monitor, track and log the quality and efficiency of the stretch and provide immediate feedback to the patient on whether the exercise was done properly or not.  If too many exercises are not performed properly, a notification is sent to the treatment provider to signal that additional instruction may be needed. The data collected will be imported into other software for further analysis. 

“This innovative method is in the testing phase now and will start with case studies carried out throughout the coming year,” Dr. Pivonka was quoted.  “The results will be presented at next year’s conference”. Future plans are also in development to provide feedback on bad posture in general; helping to create good postural habits over time using wearables.

Meeting once every year, SOSORT is an international scientific research society dedicated advancing scoliosis treatment by effectively using proven methods. The membership body of SOSORT is made up of physical therapists, medical doctors and orthotists from around the globe.

Both Dr. Caviedes  and Dr. Pivonka submitted an abstract to the SOSORT conference and were invited to give an oral presentation entitled “Spine Posture Detection and Correction Using Active and Passive Biofeedback” at the May SOSORT meeting in Lyon France. Drs. Pivonka and Caviedes traveled to France to present their innovative concept. The idea was received with high interest. The full abstract can be found in the book of abstracts for the conference ..on SOSORT’s website.

Dr. Pivonka is a 1993 graduate cum laude, Doctor of Chiropractic from LIFE Chiropractic College in  Marietta, Georgia.  He has twenty three years and counting of experience working with scoliosis patients. He has spent a great deal of time and effort researching the best options for scoliosis patients. His philosophy is, “if you can get started early with the best care available there is a high likelihood that almost anyone can be spared from what my mother has had to endure.” Dr. Pivonka is a treatment expert, innovator, and leader in scoliosis care.

Each and every one of them is a true advocate and educator. To have Amazon put this book at the top of their Best Seller list in the Optometry category is an incredible achievement and puts a spotlight on the appreciation and recognition they deserve.”

Valeri is the sole skin care expert in the state of Texas currently certified as a Pi Fu Zhuan Jia, making her a skin expert trained in Eastern philosophical strategies. She was hand-selected by the program founder for her apprenticeship in 2014, and while refining her skills she has since expanded her specialized training to include ancient Chinese massage techniques for the face.

Valeri is trained in Eastern and Western philosophy for skin care, as well as integration of the two. Additionally, she is a licensed aesthetician who helps heal the most complex and advanced skin conditions for clients, including during cancer treatments; often they’ve tried everything else and only found healing skin when trying her unique approach.

Previously Valeri was co-owner of a chiropractic clinic in Tennessee for nearly 20 years, so she has always had a holistic approach. Additionally, she owned a skin spa in Tennessee for four years, so Valeri knows from experience with thousands of clients, a holistic approach is what works. Working with clients, she provides exactly what both their skin and body need to achieve balance and health, for a healing improvement to their skin. Valeri is dedicated to helping individual clients experience clear, healthy, and balanced skin.

She accomplishes this by continually tweaking and customizing the client’s program, so they can enjoy balance and health, for a healing improvement to their skin. Many people turn to dermatologists, aestheticians, or plastic surgeons to treat their skin first, often making Valeri “the last resort” person who fixes the errors of others. And it works; the toughest problem cases, that no one has been able to resolve, is when she can eliminate the problem!  

When discussing why this path is so important to her, Valeri says “Skin is my passion. I want to empower you to look and feel better. I help your skin with whatever it needs to repair itself so it doesn’t age so fast. I love watching a client’s confidence and self-esteem soar because they feel better about themselves. This is so rewarding.”

A key factor attracting people to try her spa clinic is her non-invasive and natural solutions; clients experience no downtime, trauma, or contra-indications.

Previously featured in Day Spa Magazine, Valeri has had her business recognized by peers and a local chamber of commerce, and has given eye-opening, educational, and easy to understand presentations at trade conventions for wellness entrepreneurs and their staff, and organizations like After Breast Cancer and Georgia Career Institute; her largest presenting audience is more than 3,000 people. In addition to sharing her passion for overcoming skin conditions in holistic ways,

Valeri has been dedicated to helping others throughout her career and intends to set up a partnership with a local not for profit organization who support those overcoming skin conditions related to illness and cancer treatment, and trauma survivors. She’s been collecting gifts and food for families at Christmas for more than 15 years, and teddy bears for children who were victims of abuse.

To help a larger audience of people suffering with skin issues create their own holistic approach to reach their own unique skin care goals, Valeri has recently released a straightforward new book, Flawless Skin: The 80/20 Solution; available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073RR69DD and at her website, to download free.

The content of the book is being written for ordinary people to be able to easily understand the various options available to them in regard to getting needed or desired dental work done. The information in the book is presented in layman’s terms, in easily understandable, non-technical language. The collection of qualified experts in numerous dental specialties will provide helpful information in “A Reason to Smile” that readers can rely on as authoritative.

Blue Ocean Publishing Group is working in conjunction with Barak Granot of DentoMetrix, a leading dental marketing agency, to assemble the best possible team of expert contributors for the book. Dr. McDowell will be writing about the latest orthodontic treatments using braces. Dr. Feldman, who specializes in both traditional orthodontics and in newer orthodontic treatment options, has been chosen to write about dental aligners such as Invisalign. 

Dr. Feldman states on his website that, “The world is filled with many reasons to smile—unfortunately, not all smiles were created equally.” Dr. Feldman performs orthodontic dentistry on both children and adults. He says, “I understand that part of new technology, like Invisalign, being developed all the time can make things seem a little confusing for patients trying to figure out what treatment procedures they can benefit most from. I’m looking forward to being part of this project that will help make it easier for people to make informed choices that they feel confident about”.

Dr. Feldman is the only Invisalign Elite Preferred Provider in the Tampa, Florida area, a distinction that puts him in the top 1% of all Invisalign providers worldwide. Dr. Feldman obtained his DDS degree from The Ohio State University . He serves as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at USF College of Medicine. Dr. Feldman also holds a patent on ceramic brackets. Dr. Feldman is very active in community endeavors. He designed a dental care education program for Tampa schools, and has also established the Feldman Orthodontics Scholarship program.

Dr. McDowell, with over 25 years of experience as a practicing dentist, is also a designated Elite Provider of Invisalign treatment, and is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction held by only 20-25% of all orthodontists. He has been nominated as one of Americas Top Dentists for 10 years in a row, and was recently invited to become a member of The Schulman Group, a recognized invitation-only association that is composed of only the top 1% of all orthodontic practices in North America. Dr. McDowell, who earned his D.M.D. degree from the University of Florida, says that, “It’s always amazing and fulfilling to see what a difference a stunning smile makes in overall self-esteem and self-confidence. I’m happy to contribute to this worthwhile project designed to help patients learn more about the latest dental procedures they can take advantage of to get the kind of truly attractive smile that everyone wants to have.”

Parents struggling with their kids who wear glasses are raving about Dr. Mark Page’s new book about his safe and natural Orthokeratology and Corneal Refractive Therapy.

Here is a link to purchase the book.  https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Parents-Guide-Child-Better-ebook/dp/B07113LVQS/ref=zg_bs_157137011_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=57FH058Z2AG0NPXEH9XT

Most eyeglasses and contact lenses are not welcome by most kids but OrthoK therapy provides fast soothing relief from blurry vision, and it’s easy to administer.

This overnight vision correction provides both an alternative to near-sightedness or myopia and can be an effective treatment for astigmatism. Children with blurry vision can experience clear focus within a matter of days. With regular application at night the blurry vision may never return.

Myopia is growing at an alarming rate. Over 10 million children in the US currently need glasses to see the board at school and over 400,000 new cases develop every year. Children who spend a lot of time playing computer games and staying indoors can be especially vulnerable. Children of Asian descent seem to be more susceptible to myopia.

Why worry about myopia? Myopia is very common. The prevalance of myopia is increasing. The severity of myopia is increasing. Myopia has a substantial economic and emotional burden. Myopia can limit career choices. Myopia can interfere with learning. Myopia is a leading cause of permanent vision loss that can lead to blindness. Myopia continues to progress as children age. The increase can cause more blur and increase the risk of long term damage because the eye keeps getting longer and the inside of the eyes stretch. This stretching can lead to serious eye problems like cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachments and myopic maculopathy.

Parents ususaly spot myopia when their child is squinting or sits very close to the TV. However, some children do not display any symptoms in the early stages. A professional eye exam with a licensed Optometrist or Ophthalmologist is recommended for all children, even if they think they see fine.

One young patient started needing glasses at 5 years of age. She also hated wearing glasses that the eye doctor prescribed. They kept sliding down her nose and falling off, and they even broke several times and new ones had to be purchased at additional cost. The glasses affected her confidence and interfered with her enjoyment of athletic activities.

The parents were amazed when their child started using Orthokeratology. Their child liked not having to wear the glasses and it was obvious their child was getting almost instant relief from this completely natural vision correction. Her confidence and self esteem soared overnight.

Now, their child is free from glasses and able to do sommersaults and swing and jump in the swimming pool and enjoy being a child. The corresponding pain and discomfort from wearing glasses are completely gone.

Other parents share similar stories of rapid and long term relief for their children from blurry vision and astigmatism. And this therapy is safe and effective for a range of different prescriptions including hyperopia and presbyopia.

Now several parents are also benefiting from this new technology as well.

A portion of the proceeds will be going to the Foundation for Blind Children. For more information go to www.seeitourway.org

Anna Foster, a purchasing agent for Blue Ocean Publishing Group, says that “A Reason to Smile” is being written “for the ultimate benefit of patients and any individuals trying to get more information on all of the dental care treatment options that are available to them. We carefully selected the most experienced and knowledgeable experts to provide answers to complex and even basic questions about cosmetic and restorative dental procedures and treatments. Our main goal with this book is to offer readers all the information necessary to make the smartest and most informed choices possible about their individual dental care needs.”

“A Reason to Smile” hasn’t been written like a medical textbook. The book is a source of information for the general public. “A Reason to Smile” features facts written by certified dentists from across the country, meaning all readers can be certain that the book contains reliable and accurate information. Each chapter is penned by experts in their respective fields.

Blue Ocean Publishing Group devoted countless hours to the task of finding dentists with expert-level understanding and experience with a variety of dental specialties with the help of Barak Granot, one of the leading voices in dental marketing. Dr. Randall Deaton is the recent author added to the pool of experts authoring “A Reason to Smile”. Dr. Deaton will share his expertise in the latest teeth whitening procedures.

“This is a great opportunity for me to share the knowledge I’ve gained from years of experience with cosmetic dentistry. I can’t wait to let people know about the latest whitening procedures available. I am thankful for that opportunity and looking forward to having the book published.”

Dr. Deaton graduated from the University of Tennessee with a bachelor’s degree in biology and from the university’s College of Dentistry in 1993. He lives and works in Adamsville, and devotes much of his free time to community activities. Dr. Deaton is a member of some organizations, including the Tennessee Dental Association (TDA), and the Spear Faculty Club, an organization of dentists that work together to constantly perfect their skills and knowledge of all the newest advancements in dentistry.

Anna Foster, Blue Ocean’s purchasing agent, indicates that “A Reason to Smile” is targeted at patients trying to learn more about dental care treatment options available to them. Foster notes that “A Reason to Smile” is designed to be a guide for patients. “We’ve chosen the most passionate and knowledgeable experts for this book,” Foster says, adding,” We offer answers to basic and complex questions about cosmetic and reconstructive dental procedures, and clear up a lot of myths or misunderstandings that patients have about cosmetic dentistry.”

“A Reason to Smile” will feature contributions from certified dentists from various cities in the United States. Each contributing author is an expert in one area or another of dental treatment, which means readers can take comfort in the accuracy, quality, and reliability of the information contained in the book.

Blue Ocean Publishing Group, working collectively with Barak Granot of DentoMetrix, a well-renowned dental marketing agency, has done extensive background work in finding the nation’s leading experts in various dental specialties. Dr. Yasser Sadek, recently added to the list of experts assembled for this book project, specializes in pediatric dentistry, focusing on the importance of developing dental care routines early and creating a bond of trust between children and their dentists.

“Taking good care of your teeth is vital to the overall health and wellness of your body.  It’s important to start a good dental hygiene regimen early in life and one of the best ways to make that happen is to establish a good relationship with a dentist as a child,” says Dr. Sadek.  “The whole idea is never to force a treatment on a child, but to get the child’s permission to fix his teeth.”

Dr. Sadek’s chapter in “A Reason to Smile” will be focused on key aspects of pediatric dentistry and his expertise in building relationships of trust with his young clients.

Dr. Sadek provides a full range of dental care services for children at Palmdale Children’s Dental in Palmdale, California. This includes general cleanings, fluoride treatments, and x-rays for children from ages six months to teen years. Educated at the University of Southern California (USC), Dr. Sadek has been practicing for more than two decades and prides himself on his ability to connect with children and provide them with the best and friendliest dental care possible.

The purpose of “A Reason to Smile – Fixing Broken Confidence with Cosmetic Dentistry”, scheduled for release later in 2017, is to assist patients who want to learn more about dental treatment options. Anna Foster, Purchasing Agent for Blue Ocean Publishing Group, states that the book will serve to connect dental patients with expert dentists in virtually every dental treatment specialty. “We’ve selected experts who are particularly knowledgeable about, and skilled in, the very latest dental treatment procedures,” she said. “These dentists are passionate about serving patients with state of the art treatments, and will provide answers to a number of commonly asked questions about restorative and cosmetic dentistry.”

The book’s content is addressed to patients thinking about having dental work done. It’s not a textbook for dentists.  It will be easy for ordinary, everyday persons to read the book and learn about the latest restorative and cosmetic dental treatment options. Because of the expert panel of actively practicing dentists selected to author the book’s chapters, readers can rely on the information presented in “A Reason to Smile.”

Blue Ocean Publishing has been assisted in putting the book together by collaborating with Barak Granot, co-founder of DentoMetrix, a leading dental marketing agency. Dr. McDowell, who’s emphasis is in sleep dentistry and physiologic dentistry, including treatment of TMJ, is the most recently selected dentist chosen to take part in the project.

Dr. McDowell believes that, “This book can be a valuable help for dental patients looking for explanations of specific dental procedures and for information about treatment options. It’s important for patients to be able to make informed choices, and there are so many new treatment options out there. This book will help patients in finding a dentist who’s experienced in treating a patient’s particular dental problem.”

In “A Reason to Smile,” Dr. McDowell’s contribution will be primarily in regard to his area of concentration in physiologic dentistry, treating problems such as TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders. Dr. McDowell focuses on fixing bite issues which can cause headaches, sleep deprivation, and other problems for patients.

Dr. McDowell offers a complete range of both general and cosmetic dental care services. His practice takes a holistic approach to treatment, and includes employing things such as sensory relaxation techniques and comfortable, heated neck pillows for patients. Dr. McDowell is a graduate of the Ohio State University College of Dentistry, and has earned the distinction of being named a Las Vegas Institute Fellow (LVIF) by completing advanced education courses at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. He and his team also continue their education by attending several dental conferences each year.

Working in collaboration with Barak Granot of DentoMetrix, a dental marketing agency, Blue Ocean Publishing Group has searched out leading dental experts in a range of specialties. Dr. Tatevossian is the latest dental expert chosen to take part in the project. He specializes in both general and restorative dentistry, including state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry.

Dr. Tatevossian stated that he welcomes “the opportunity to contribute to this important project. I’m excited about having the chance to help patients become more informed about the technological advances in cosmetic dentistry that have improved the quality of treatment and considerably broadened the range of choices patients have.”

For “A Reason to Smile,” Dr. Tatevossian will be discussing treatment options using dental veneers, including the recent introduction of new materials, in addition to traditional porcelain or resin composites, that make for stronger and longer-lasting veneers. Veneers are a commonly used alternative to dental crowns, that involves bonding a custom-made covering material to the front of a tooth. They are frequently used to repair chipped or broken teeth, as well as being an effective cosmetic dental treatment for obtaining a more aesthetically pleasing look to the shape, size, color, and overall appearance of teeth.

Dr. Tatevossian was educated and trained at the University of California at Riverside and at the renowned Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, and has over 20 years of experience in the practice of dentistry. He was previously selected as one of Fox Network’s “Top Docs”, an award which recognizes superior doctors and dentists, and has hosted his own radio show on dentistry and cosmetic treatments.

“A Reason to Smile – Fixing Broken Confidence with Cosmetic Dentistry”, is scheduled for release in 2017. The purpose of the book is to equip patients with the latest information about treatment options in dental care. Anna Foster, Purchasing Agent for Blue Ocean Publishing Group, emphasizes the book’s main role as a guide. “The experts we’ve chosen,” Foster states, “will be addressing important information on restorative and cosmetic dentistry treatments, and hopefully do a lot to dispel myths and misconceptions that many people have about dentists and dentistry.”

The book is addressed directly to patients and meant to be easy reading content for anyone who may be thinking about exploring cosmetic dental treatment of one type or another. “A Reason to Smile” is being co-written by a group of leading certified dentists from across the United States, so readers can rest assured regarding the quality and reliability of the information the book will provide. The intent is to acquaint readers with the current state-of-the-art treatment options in cosmetic and restorative dentistry.

Working in collaboration with Barak Granot from DentoMetrix, a leading dental marketing agency, Blue Ocean Publishing Group has carefully selected the book’s authors from well-known dental experts in the practice of general and cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Grodin’s passion is in doing white crowns and fillings, including inlays and onlays, veneers, teeth whitening, and smile makeovers.

Dr. Grodin has said that he’s very excited about being a part of this project. “This book can be a great resource for patients to learn about different treatment options before going for a consultation with a dentist. There are so many new treatments available that the majority of people probably don’t know about, or at least only know a little bit about.”

In “A Reason to Smile,” Dr. Grodin will be contributing information about cosmetic dentistry generally, and specifically talking about white crowns, different types of white fillings, and removing amalgam fillings.

Dr. Grodin is a graduate of the University of Detroit Dental School, and has practiced dentistry in the Detroit area for more than three decades. He is renowned for his work in cosmetic dentistry, so much so that he attracts patients from all across the country, and teaches seminars to help train other dentists in cosmetic dental procedures. Dr. Grodin has been featured on the cover of Dental Economics, one of the dental industry’s most prestigious magazines, where he has also been a contributing editor. He’s been interviewed by many media outlets on the subject of cosmetic dentistry, and his office has been one of only 10 selected annually by Dental Economics to receive the coveted award as an “Office of the Month”.

Dr. William Burden, MD, FACS, became an Amazon Bestselling Author with his new book, Breast Augmentation With No Scar On The Breast. Amazon listed the book at Number 1 among all Plastic Surgery books and also as the Number 1 Hot New Release in multiple categories.

Before having a consultation with a plastic surgeon, many women don’t realize all of the various options and decisions that will need to be made in order to achieve their ideal breast shape and size. In his book, Burden provides information about breast augmentation options, focusing extensively on the No Scar on the Breast technique.

In Breast Augmentation With No Scar On The Breast, Burden provides some background on his research on a new approach to breast augmentation surgery using fiber optics that allowed for a smaller incision and accurate implant placement. One of the benefits with this approach is that the incision is made in the underarm area so no incision is made on the breast. His overview of the many options and choices to be made by women considering breast augmentation are covered in an easy to read Questions and Answer format. Topics covered include choice of incision location, implant placement, implant types, use of 3-D imaging to help visualize the expected outcome, and how to select a plastic surgeon for a breast augmentation procedure.

Burden said, “In my experience women are not as satisfied with their breast augmentation result when they are left with an undesirable scar on or underneath their breasts; however, when the scar is in the underarm area, they rarely comment on the scar since the scar is well hidden.”

Breast Augmentation With No Scar On The Breast is available on Amazon in an eBook version at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XS9XYCZ. A paperback version will also be available in the near future.

Dr. William R. Burden, MD, FACS, is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. He is the founder and CEO of Destin Plastic Surgery in Destin, Florida and is also the founder of the Destin Surgery Center, housed in the same building.

During his fellowship in Plastic Surgery at the University of Florida, Burden worked with his professors to introduce endoscopic techniques in breast surgery and specialized microvascular techniques for breast and body reconstruction. He was one of the pioneers in researching the use of endoscopic or fiber optic technology for plastic surgery and saw the potential for use of this new technology to enable accurate placement of breast implants using an incision in the underarm area instead of on the breast.

We really enjoy the opportunity to help people learn more about their choices in regard to dental work so that they can get the help they need to obtain that life-changing smile. Giving someone a really terrific smile can change their whole life, in terms of self-confidence and how they feel about themselves in general. Some of the newest dental technology is really exciting because it allows us to provide alternatives for treatment that were not available before. I believe this book will help a lot of people improve their smile and live a happier life.”

In “A Reason to Smile,”Drs. Shital and Rakesh Patel will present information on cosmetic dentistry in general and on sedation dentistry in particular, and how it can be especially helpful for people who have dental anxiety that has prevented them from getting needed dental work done.

Dr. Rakesh Patel obtained his dental degree at the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. Dr. Shital Patel studied dentistry at both the University of Wales and the University of London. Both dentists study further through continuing education courses and conferences, believing in staying up to date on all the latest techniques and procedures.

On a recent episode of MegaBucks Radio with Nina Hershberger, Les Eads, Indianapolis Hair Replacement Specialist, discussed the newest trends in hair replacement for men and women. Two thirds of men will have thinning hair by age 35 and 50% of women by age 50. Hair replacement systems are a fast-growing solution for many of them.

During this episode, Eads described what causes hair loss, what works and doesn’t work to stop the loss, hair transplants, as well as the newest trends in hair replacement. 

“Donald Trump is the victim of a botched hair implant job,” Eads explains “He can’t really cut his hair short because there’s not enough hair left in the donor site. It’s why in many cases a hair replacement system is far superior to hair transplant: you can get the exact look you want and change it over time – all without pain and possibility of a permanently bad look.”

Eads added, “The best way to see the cause of hair loss is to examine it under a microscope. In some cases, the loss is due to using bad hair products but in many cases, it is caused by hereditary or hormonal issues. It’s important to determine the cause of hair loss before deciding the best method: from better hair products to laser treatments to hair transplant to hair replacement (called a Hair Replacement System by the professionals).”

Eads noted, “Having natural looking hair with a hair replacement system is 1/2 the skill of the person designing and custom ordering the system, 1/4 the skill the person trimming the hair around it, and 1/4 the client properly washing and moisturizing the hair.”

Les Eads is the owner of Carmel Hair Technologies and Michiana Hair Technologies  in Indiana. A 40-year veteran in the hair industry, Eads is one of just a handful of highly-trained hair replacement experts with the skills that high-profile executives and public figures trust – which is why they fly in to have him design their hair systems.

 For the super busy executive, Eads will even fly to them. While it’s not inexpensive, it’s worth it to them to have the best natural looking – indistinguishable that it’s not their natural –  hair.

The market for women’s hair replacement is becoming the fastest growing segment. While society accepts bald men, women’s self-worth and confidence is directly attached to hair. When they lose it or it thins noticeably, they more frequently look for solutions than do men.

The interview concluded with Eads noting, “Long gone is the old fragile human toupee that would blow up with the wind or the obvious hair wig for women. Today’s high tech systems (with someone highly trained and skilled) can be designed with just the right about of thickness, wave pattern, color – including grey. It is a 100% custom designed system that can be washed in the shower, blow-dried and styled anyway you want, worn while swimming or doing extreme sports without worry.

Bald is out. Natural looking hair is back in for both men and women.”

Anna Foster, Purchasing Agent for Blue Ocean Publishing Group recently confirmed launching a nationwide search for dental experts to be featured in “A Reason to Smile.” The publishing group will work with DentoMetrix, a leading dental marketing agency, to help with the dentists’ application process.

As he explained the search process, Barak Granot of DentoMetrix said, “This is an important book for us to compile. We hope to use it to reach out to dental patients both in the US and internationally and are connecting with dental experts in their field that we feel are true advocates for patients to successfully understand a variety of cosmetic dentistry options.”

Scheduled for a spring 2017 release, “A Reason to Smile” will select qualified dentists from this search, who can provide informative insights into their areas of expertise.

Ms. Foster was quick to clarify the book’s objectives. “This isn’t just about general dentistry,” she said. “The experts we select are passionate about helping their patients. They will answer the most common questions and bust the myths and misconceptions so many people have about dentists as a whole. ‘A Reason to Smile’ will cover topics such as veneers, dentures, dental implants and the consequences of missing teeth. The book will include a lot of information that is rarely talked about until it is a necessary procedure.”

She went on to describe the book as “a compelling guide to help dental patients educate themselves about a variety of procedures.” Mr. Granot added, “Dentists and patients are calling for education in a separate environment from the practice. Patients can read the book at their pace and in their home, and as a result, educated patients make better-informed requests for services without the dentist coming across as trying to sell something.”

Several industry leaders have already expressed interest in participating, and Blue Ocean Publishing Group is expected to make initial announcements revealing the selected experts in February 2017.

Mr. Granot further explained: “One of the reasons we are assisting in this search is because we didn’t want to go the route of filling this book with the stereotypical ‘experts.’  This quest would be unnecessary if that were the case.”

“We anticipate a lot of exposure to this project,” Ms. Foster said, “so we want to showcase those dentists who are actually in the trenches, working hard every day and willing to share that.  That is what will make this venture a win-win project.”

Jeremy Baker, President of JTB Publishing confirmed they have officially launched a U.S. based search for Day Spa | Med Spa Owners, Medical Doctors, Aestheticians, Naturopaths, Chiropractors, Cosmetic Laser Technicians, to be featured in the upcoming book, “Professional Anti-Aging Tips & Secrets.”

Explaining the search process, Baker said, “This is an important book for us, so we will be reaching out to a select group of Day Spa & Med Spa Owners, Medical Doctors, Aestheticians, Naturopaths, Chiropractors, & Cosmetic Laser Technicians that we feel will be true advocates for the success of  our reader demographic of 40-70 year old men & women who are looking to maintain or restore their youthful appearance, while at the same time, learn new anti-aging tips and secrets from professionals.

Scheduled for release in January 2017 , “Professional Anti-Aging Tips & Secrets“ will spotlight each of the professionals selected from this search, sharing their insights and real world experience in this professional guide for consumers on how to look & feel young.

Baker said, “The Day Spa & Med Spa Owners, Medical Doctors, Aestheticians, Naturopaths, Chiropractors, Cosmetic Laser Technicians we select are passionate about helping men & women maintain or restore their youthful appearance. They will answer the most common questions and bust the myths and misconceptions so many people have about anti-aging. “Professional Anti-Aging Tips & Secrets” will cover a lot information about what types of treatments are available and how those treatments can be utilized to their fullest extent for maximum results. Topics will include information on : Medical Aesthetics, Skin Care, Diet & Nutrition, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Wellness, Chiropractic, Natural Medicine, Body Contouring & Sculpting and Hormonal Health”.

With several industry leaders expressing interest in participating, JTB Publishing is expected to announce the final selections in the next 30 days.

However, Baker asserted, “One of the reasons we launched this search is because we did not want to go the route of filling this book with the stereotypical ‘Experts.’ This search would be unnecessary if that was the case. We anticipate a lot of exposure around this project for the people we select to be featured in the book, so we really want to showcase those professionals who are actually in the trenches, working hard every day and willing to share that experience to benefit the readers.  We will make this a win, win win project.”

Fort Worth Cosmetic & Family Dentistry’s Dr. Nikki P Green DDS says patients who commit to “Invisalign” teeth straightening this month will also receive a $1,000 discount on the treatment.

The Joan Katz Breast Center at Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center – Fort Worth, which offers patient navigation and support services free of charge for men and women newly diagnosed, in the midst of treatments or living as a breast cancer survivor, will benefit from the promotion.

“Most of us know someone who has been affected by breast cancer,” said Dr. Green. “Like the Joan Katz Breast Center, we believe that no one should face breast cancer alone. We are proud to be associated with this exceptional charity and we chose it because we wanted to ensure our donation is directly serving our community.”

Invisalign has helped 4 million people – many of them in the US – to enjoy straighter teeth. The Invisalign system uses removable clear, plastic retainers so patients do not have to feel self-conscious about the very noticeable metal brackets and wires of traditional braces.

Because of the almost-invisible retainers, most people will not realize patients are having treatment. This takes away the worry of a mouthful of metal compromising the patient’s professional look. Unlike traditional braces, patients can take out their retainers for things like eating, drinking and brushing their teeth.

Fort Worth Cosmetic & Family Dentistry is a state-of-the-art facility where the friendly, professional staff use the latest dental techniques to improve the lives of patients.

It was recognized two years in a row as a top dentist by Fort Worth magazine.

Patients enjoy being treated in a modern, comfortable dental office packed full of home comforts including Wi-Fi, comfortable blankets, and TVs.

In addition to Invisalign, the practice provides comprehensive dental care, including general cleanings, porcelain veneers, TMJ treatment and dental implants.

Dr. Green has helped patients with exceptional cosmetic dental care for almost 12 years and specializes in maintaining bright smiles. Green is committed to staying on the cutting edge of dentistry, completes hundreds of Continuing Education hours each year and has a special interest in Cosmetic Dentistry as well as the latest dental technology and techniques.

Interior designer, speaker and best-selling author Jeanette Chasworth is known as “The Color Whisperer” – and she is on a mission to transform people’s lives by designing homes they love to live in.

Chasworth has a passion for helping people better understand what color communicates in everyday life, particularly at home. “Your home affects you and your health in subtle ways,” Chasworth explains. “Colors can drain or energize you. Floor plans can expand your space or make you feel claustrophobic. There are many aspects of design that can help you to live a better lifestyle, make daily activities easier, and make your home more accessible for friends and family.”

Chasworth reveals many of her color secrets in her book, “What’s Color Got to Do With It? Paint Color Ideas that Create Balance and Harmony in Your Home.” Chasworth’s book recently landed two number one bestseller spots on Amazon, topping the list in the Interior Design category as well as in the Painting and Wallpapering category. These results were verified by Amazon on September 8, 2016.

Chasworth has been dubbed “The Color Whisperer” for her one-of-a-kind design approach and soulful skill with color. “I believe in the transformational power of design and color. I draw inspiration from the homeowners’ lifestyle, taste and experiences and also attune myself to the house itself,” Chasworth explains.

In addition to writing a best-selling book on color, Chasworth is a frequent guest speaker for various radio talk shows. Her work has been featured in several industry publications that include Fabulous Floors Magazine, Arroyo Monthly, and Arts & Crafts Home. She also hosts a web-based video series (Color TV) and podcast (Color Talk), and is the past President of the Pasadena Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID).

Chasworth’s flexibility and fluency in the language of color and design continues to make a deep impression on her clients. “I highly recommend Jeanette and her vision for bringing out the best in your home,” says client Anu Fergod. “She is a pleasure to work with. Reliability, creativity, and integrity are commodities so rare to find these days. Jeanette embodies all these qualities, and so does the team that works with her.”

Chasworth believes that since your home is your most important possession, you deserve to make it your very own, and that can involve taking bold risks with colors that reflect who you are. “You can make better decisions and create a home that hugs you every time you walk through the door,” Chasworth says. “I strongly believe that when you change the surroundings in your home, your life will be transformed.”

“What’s Color Got to Do With it?” by Jeanette Chasworth is available in paperback and eBook versions. To learn more visit TheColorWhisperer.com.

DC Swim Week, dubbed by The Washington Times as “The hottest fashion show of the year,” has just wrapped up its whirlwind presentation of beautiful models, international swimwear designers, celebrity appearances, live music and performance art – at exciting venues all across a city not normally known as being fashion-friendly.

Starting with a Press and VIP Reception Wednesday night July 20th at the Cafe Milano in Georgetown, and running for three more nights at The L2 Lounge in Georgetown, the Penthouse Pool and Lounge in Southwest DC and wrapping up with a Grand Finale in the ballroom of The Embassy Row Hotel in Northwest, DC Swim Week produced four sold-out nights of fashion, fun and excitement.

“We are trying to make a change in DC, which has such a big international potential,” stated Oliwia Garaj, Vice President and Programming Director for DC Swim Week. “We want to work on DC’s image, make it more approachable and change its white collar city perspective into a new Capital City of Fashion.”

To that end, the event attracted over 20 international and domestic swimwear designers including Parisian designer Banana Moon, Polish fashion house Karo Swimwear and Brazil’s Agua de Coco.

“The event was beautifully orchestrated and something that, as a designer, I was nothing but honored to be a part of,” stated Stephanie Meni of Bandits Swimwear, based just outside of DC in Potomac, Maryland.

Other participating domestic designers included Miami’s Vizcaya Swimwear (the official swimsuit sponsor for the 2016 Miss USA Pageant), Universal Gear and Koko D.

“What a fabulous show and more importantly what a fabulous group of professionals,” said makeup artist Azin of Muse Studios. “(DC Swim Week has) an amazing vision and this is only the beginning.”

But it wasn’t only world-renowned designers who chose to participate. Two international fashion models, Mariia Baziuk and Kateryna Horbei, made a special trip down from New York City to appear at DC Swim Week’s Grand Finale Saturday night July 23rd in Northwest.

“I could not be more pleased with the way our city has embraced this event,” stated DC Swim Week Founder and Creative Director Moh Ducis. “Four sold-out nights speak to the popular appeal of these fashion shows among DCs young urban professionals. But having Mariia Baziuk and Kateryna Horbei choose to be a part of our event? I could not be more honored.”

“DC Swim Week is transforming the way fashion events have been done in the past,” added DCSW Chairman Sean Rashid. “By combining local and international designers with professional international models, we continue raising the bar for DC Swim week to match the events of New York and Miami.”

Celebrity appearances included Emmy-winning actor Vincent De Paul, Shervin Rooparvar, of Bravo TV’s “The Shahs of Sunset” and Saturday night’s entertainer Born I Music.

“With all of this momentum, we are already hard at work planning DC Swim Week 2017,” stated Programming Director Oliwia Garaj. “We’re going to keep the buzz going all year long!”

Hundreds of photos are available from a variety of photographers who covered the event. Links to the albums of three of those photographers are listed below. Please be sure to CREDIT any photos used.

Dental patients in the Abilene Texas area have another reason to smile, thanks to an innovative procedure designed to improve the quality and delivery of dental implants.

Dr. Robert Leedy of Leedy Dental, recently completed an intensive, two-day training on 3D Edentulous, a pioneering approach to enhancing dental implants by using digital technology. This method not only improves the predictability of dental implants, it also cuts the estimated dental office visits in half, by using computer-assisted digital implant therapy.

 “As a dentist, my patients’ needs always come first,” Dr. Leedy says. “This training allows me to improve their experience, both by reducing the time that they are in my chair, and also in the final outcome: the quality of their smiles.”

Dr. Leedy, also fondly known to his patients as ‘The Whistling Dentist’, offers high-quality dental care with a welcoming, outgoing team of professionals. While Leedy Dental has been using cutting-edge 3D technology, the recent training provides him with another set of tools to enhance patients’ experience.  “This course gave us the knowledge to be able to use the technology we already have in our offices in a new way,” he states. “It allows us to be able to take a patient who needs implants to having teeth that are attached to implants in the same day.”

The 3D Endentulous course was held in Raleigh, NC by Dr. Tarun Agarwal of 3D Dentists and covered four treatment phases: diagnosis, surgery, prosthetic conversion and the final prosthetic.

Leedy Dental has been in practice for more than 30 years and offers general dentistry as well as cosmetic and implant procedures to patients in the Abilene, Sweetwater, Lubbock, Brownwood, and Stephenville region. To learn more about Leedy Dental, call 325-692-1501 or visit www.leedydental.com.

Dental implant procedures can transform the smiles of patients that have lost teeth or suffered damage due to other restoration procedures, like crowns, bridges, or dentures. These titanium posts act as roots for missing teeth, and if done well, the restoration will look and feel perfectly natural. For even the most gifted cosmetic dentists, however, these procedures can take several patient visits to complete. Now, one Fort Worth dental practice has just fulfilled the training required to perform same-day implant services.

The dental team at Fort Worth Family and Cosmetic Dentistry (FWCFD) completed The 3D Edentulous Course with recognized dental researcher Dr. Tarun Agarwal. The two-day seminar, which took place in Raleigh, NC on June 10-11, gave the team at FWCFD the knowledge to leverage the technology already in their offices in a new way, allowing the dentists to perform same-day implant procedures. The time-saving technique can be completed in approximately half the appointment time of a traditional implant service, but with increased predictability.

“We always strive to make it easier for our patients to receive the best dental care. This training will make the implant procedure a lot more comfortable for our patients and it was important for us to complete it,” Dr. Nikki Green, founder of FWCFD, comments.“In Fort Worth, the implant procedure is being done by a few dental offices, but as far as we know, we are the first to use this new guided technique” Dr. Green adds.

Dr. Green is no stranger to cutting-edge restorative dentistry and dental technology. An active learner who completes hundreds of hours of continuing education each year, the Texas A&M alumnae completed the Frank Spear Mastery Continuum, an institute known for advanced dental implant study. She is a Member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, locally she serves on two continuing education boards of directors, The Academy of General Dentistry as well as the North Texas Premier Dental Forum; along with Dr. Green, her colleagues at FWCFD share a similar passion for continuing education and research in the field.

Fort Worth Cosmetic and Family Dentistry is thrilled to bring this innovative same-day implant procedure to the community. In addition to dental implants, the practice provides comprehensive dental care, including general cleanings, porcelain veneers, TMJ treatment, and Invisalign braces.

She teaches aromatherapy and wellness classes at community colleges and trains hospital staff on the safe and effective use of essential oils.

As the Oregon Director for the National Association of Holistic Aromatherapists, Sidlo travels to teach aromatherapy classes and offers continuing education credits through the Jennscents Institute for massage therapists in the US.

About her upcoming presentation at Carrot Common Green Roof on Saturday June 25 Sidlo says “Through my work and experience with essential oils I have learned that the body is so magnificently resilient, if we offer it natural methods to heal. I am eager to share my work as a health coach and aromatherapist with the rest of the world to assist individuals to be co-creators in their own wellness.”

Sidlo recently published a 3-part blog series, “Where Does Wellness Begin?” which was the catalyst for her story in The Silver Linings Storybook Volume 1. She has interviewed dozens of people from all walks of life and posed the question, “Where Does Wellness Begin?” and the answers all vary. 

Sidlo believes this is a perfect example of bio-individuality and she carries this concept into her work as a health coach to find the right combination of her knowledge, experience and modalities to give her clients the best results, as each of us are different. This approach differs from Western medicine’s approach of each symptom receives the same treatment.

Dr. Guillermo Alvarez who’s performed over 10,000 Gastric Sleeve weight loss surgeries (commonly called the Vertical Sleeve) lets his patients tell their weight loss stories after Gastric Sleeve surgery (a surgery that reduces the size of their stomach by 85% – but does not reroute the colon like in a Gastric Bypass surgery) in his newly updated book 34 Gastric Sleeve Stories. On June 14, 2016 the book hit two No. 1 positions on the Amazon.com best seller lists: for Bariatrics and Laparoscopic & Robotic surgery.

In 34 Gastric Sleeve Stories patients tell their very personal stories with weight issues and how their lives changed after gastric sleeve surgery. Stories like one woman who was mostly a recluse in her home for years and now has a full active life, another one who ballooned up to 258 pounds before surgery, a physical therapist who describes her 232 pound loss from the surgery, and a 25 year medical doctor who chose Dr. Alvarez and Mexico instead of his own hospital.

“Having weight loss surgery in Mexico can be a scary thing for many patients,” Dr. Alvarez admits. “But with Facebook, the internet and the ability to search the reputation of a surgeon from anywhere in the world, people are becoming more confident coming to Mexico.”

People like being able to connect with other patients and hear and read their stories about having gastric sleeve surgery in Mexico which is why Alvarez published this book. The raw and unedited stories tell of the pain of being obese and their journey to permanent weight loss.

Educated in the US, Mexico, and France, Dr. Guillermo Alvarez has been performing the gastric sleeve surgery since 2006 and over 2.2 million visitors have watched his YouTube videos about the surgery. He is one of only 11 surgeons worldwide with the designation of surgeon of Excellence by an independent review board. He was written up in Newsweek as a leader in health care and featured on ABC news for having performed the gastric sleeve surgery on a 12 year old patient.

BizSmart Publishing congratulates Sonia Poleon, who became an Amazon International Bestselling Author with her new book, The Love List: Choose Your Partner. The book reached No. 2 in the Kindle store in “Sex” and No. 5 in “Mate Seeking,” as well as No. 7 in “Sexual Health” in the Books division of Amazon.

In addition, the book ranked internationally, coming in at No. 64 for the “Sex” Kindle division on Amazon U.K. and No. 3 in Amazon France for the Kindle division in “Sex” and No. 4 in “Interpersonal Relations” and No. 11 in the Book division of “Sex.” Lastly, the book ranked at No. 12 in Amazon Australia in the Kindle divisions of “Mate Seeking” and “Sex.”

Poleon noted, “This is a fulfillment of a lifelong dream of being a best-selling author. I am both humbled and amazed that I have achieved this goal, at last!”

The Love List was designed to help women realize what it is that they actually want in a partner and how to prepare themselves when that man comes into their lives. Every woman wants someone romantic, loving and caring to treat her like the queen she is.

Studies indicate that nearly 50% of women will know in the first ten minutes of a date whether the man they are with deserves further attention or not. Having this kind of leverage is worth its weight in gold. From a woman’s point of view, it’s pretty safe to say that the majority would love to get married and enjoy the pleasure of being in a loving and trusting relationship that ultimately results in having a fairy-tale wedding. There is no perfect man, but there is a man who is right for every woman.

Sonia Poleon has been in business for nearly 20 years. She is a mentor, business and communications trainer, published international best-selling author, radio personality, consultant and inspirational speaker.

Poleon is often sought out by others to help them with private coaching. She coaches woman who are 35+ who are stuck and want to make changes in their life. As a Media Coach, she teaches others how to get visibility in their business

She believes that life and experience are life’s biggest teachers and that the challenges in life strengthen people.  However, true strength comes from overcoming life’s hardships without surrendering; therefore, one must be resilient, like the trees that stand out in the scorching sun on a daily basis.

With her practical knowledge, personalized strategies, positive attitude and outgoing personality, she enjoys empowering people to pursue their dreams.

Poleon has been featured in some of the country’s top newspapers and magazines for her work in creating The Love List, which piqued her interest in travel, customs, dress and hairstyles of other cultures.

The Fridley Minnesota Lions Club signed an agreement with Open Arms Of Minnesota to not only deliver but also pay for the majority of the cost of the meals.  Open Arms will prepare the meals in their state of the art facility at 2500 Bloomington Ave So. in Minneapolis and deliver them to St. Philips Lutheran Church in Fridley, where the Lions will pick them up and deliver them to clients in Fridley.  Bud Dauphin, from Schaaf Floral and a Fridley Lion, is Chairman of the Lions Committee for distributing the meals.  Ron Ackerman, former President of St. Philips congregation assisted in working out the details with the three entities.  Dan Gourde, the Fridley Lions Treasurer and Tom Bourque, the Lions President are among the Lions volunteers who will be delivering the meals.

It’s a simple notion: people who are sick should not be without food. Yet every day people with life-threatening illnesses find themselves unable to shop or cook and often without the support network to help.

 Open Arms of Minnesota cooks and delivers free, nutritious meals to people living with life-threatening and chronic illness in the Twin Cities. 

With the help of more than 5,000 volunteers,  half a million delicious meals will be delivered this year to people living with cancer, HIV/AIDS, multiple sclerosis and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), as well as their caregivers and dependents.

Open Arms is unique in its phenomenal community of donors and volunteers, the folks who work every day to nourish and sustain people living with illness in the Twin Cities.

Lions Ron Ackerman, Bud Dauphin, Tom Bourque and Dan Gourde presented the check to April Bogard at the Open Arms Center.  “We truly consider it a pleasure to be involved with Open Arms in delivering meals to our neighbors in Fridley with these serious illnesses.” Lion President Tom Bourque stated.

The four Lions delivered the final payment of $10,000 to April Bogard,  Open Arms Senior Director of Programs. “We are so happy and excited to be able to expand our service with the help of these dedicated Lions from Fridley.” Bogard explained. Delivery of meals will begin on Tuesday, June 7th.

The Business Innovators Magazine radio show covers stories from the most innovative leaders in business, such as Mark Cuban, Jeff Bezos and Dave Ramsey. This interview with Francesca Kuglen was published on May 16, 2016

In this powerful interview, listeners will learn how much — or how little — patents can protect businesses.

Francesca Kuglen started her first company fresh out of college with $250. Eleven years later, she sold it to Newell-Rubbermaid. She has since gone on to become an ultra-successful entrepreneur. Francesca has numerous patents, inventions and trade secrets that have been licensed to large corporations such as Conair, Goody Products and Scunci. She has made millions of dollars selling her products worldwide. Francesca speaks with authority, passion and a contagious sense of humor.

Francesca says that her experience with patents has opened her eyes to their reality. She says that patents are a necessary evil and she still files for them, but she doesn’t hang her hat on them. Francesca explains, “Patents are not a small business owner’s friend. It isn’t because patents are malicious; it’s simply because it’s a bureaucracy, and it is not intended to protect small businesses. I have multiple patents. And I can guarantee that I have made more money on copyright and trademark infringement than I have ever made on patent infringement. It costs about $15,000 now to file a patent in the United States. In patents, if somebody breaks down your door and steals your patent and starts knocking you off, there is no entity that’s going to step up for you. You have to pay an attorney to do it,” Kuglen concluded.

Francesca is now a partner at HairZing, a company that makes hair accessories. Learn more at www.HairZing.com

Francesca’s interview is available on iTunes, Stitcher, iHeart Radio and the Business Innovators Magazine radio show here: http://businessinnovatorsmagazine.com/francesca-kuglen-a-patent-may-not-protect-you-as-much-as-you-think

Samuels, a personal trainer and life coach, works with clients to help them achieve their health and fitness goals.  She developed a method that is particularly successful with clients who have tried and failed many times before.  “I realized that my clients couldn’t just work the outside of their bodies, but they needed to improve their bodies internally so I got my nutrition license. My clients started losing weight and getting stronger, but I was puzzled as to why some of them gained the weight back. That’s when I realized that last piece of the equation was to help teach them how to change their mindset and brain patterns – so I got my life coach certification. With my three-pronged approach, I starting seeing long term success in client health”, Samuels explains.   

When she saw the amazing success these clients were having in overcoming the obstacles that had stopped them before, she wanted to make her method available to people who couldn’t work with her personally.  That’s when the idea for Think and Grow Healthy was born. 

Samuels knew there were far more people in need of help than she could ever work with in her one on one sessions.   In a recent interview, she explains, ““One of my first clients after setting out on my own came to me painfully shy, with plummeting self-esteem, and almost 150 pounds overweight. Even going to the grocery store surrounded by crowds of people was so overwhelming for him that he would be close to a breakdown after each trip. He was on heart and cholesterol medication and his doctors were very concerned. After working together, the transformation I saw was incredible. He lost over 100 pounds, got off his cholesterol and blood pressure medications, and was able to interact socially with my other clients and in society. I knew I was in the right place and stories like his keep me passionate about what I do.”

Community leader, fashion designer and writer Jamielle Rankine publishes new poem “Skin” to help uplift and aid those who feel helpless. Rankine comes from humble roots being born in a poverty stricken ghetto in Kingston, Jamaica but was fortunate enough to move to the United States. “Experiencing both poverty and opportunity made me appreciate life,” states Rankine. This talented fashion designer and writer showcases this dichotomy and identity struggle through her art and community involvement.  

Rankine leverages fashion and prose as an outlet to express her fears, insecurities and to escape past realities. “I would write stories about my experiences and things I would want to take place in my life. Eventually, I began writing poems. It was not until I brought forth truth that the words began to tell a story. By combining emotion and reality, I wrote my first poem “Stained Eyes” in 2015. I knew I had something special when I made an audience cry after reciting the words,” added Rankine.

Jamielle Rankine is not only a talented writer and fashion designer, she is an educator and advocate for helping homeless women get back on their feet. Rankine educates homeless women as a mentor through a course she created called. “Finding Fashion and Yourself.” Finding Fashion and Yourself is delivered through the Precious Life Shelter in Los Alamitos, CA. The purpose of the program is to teach homeless women how to style and find clothing for job interviews. Rankine meets with the women from the shelter for several hours a month to offer guidance, advice, and teach job hunting skills. Knowing what it is like to come from humble beginnings, providing uplifting support to those in need, especially women, is Rankine’s passion.   

Rankine has received business awards for entrepreneurship through the innovative Impact Fund for excellence in business planning and funding presentations. “Skin” has been very well received throughout Rankine’s community both on-and-offline. Readers can access the poem here.
