Maed Beauties, Usher: Rendezvous in Paris, and a n

Maed Beauties, Usher: Rendezvous in Paris, and a night to remember! We celebrated our first-ever IRL community event, featuring @maedbeauty’s Signature Ritual Red Lip Pigment that looked flawless on everyone. I’m so grateful to the amazing women who came out to support Maed Beauty’s future launch and my husband’s incredible film 🎥 ✨ Today’s the last chance to see Usher: Rendezvous in Paris in theaters. Most likely a 7PM showing in your city—grab a girlfriend or a date, swipe on a red lip 💋 and dance all night!!

@anthonymandler You continue to amaze me with each project. “Usher: Rendezvous in Paris” is another incredible example of your artistry. So proud of you!

🎥: this video was a collaborative production by #MaedBeauties 🫶🏽💋♥️

I’m sharing one of the most blissed out, lux tre

I’m sharing one of the most blissed out, lux treatments I’ve ever received, courtesy of the fabulous @suryabymartha! This divine journey started with Surya’s Signature Abhyanga—a 4-hand massage that deeply nourishes the body and is incredibly revitalizing for the skin. Every stroke felt like a warm embrace, melting away all tension and stress. Plus, the herbal oils are tailored to your body’s unique needs to balance your dosha, which in Ayurvedic tradition are one the of three fundamental energies that govern the body and mind: Vata, Pitta or Kappa. As the oils penetrate your skin and the massage techniques begin, blood circulation improves, gentle detoxification begins and the mind drifts into deep rest. Deep rejuvenation and beyond. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, it was time for Shirodhara. Warm oil was gently streamed over my forehead, specifically on my “third eye”, calming my nervous system and dissolving stress.

This ancient therapy works wonders on the mind and body, lowering blood pressure, slowing the heart rate, and relaxing the muscles. This heavenly retreat is brought to you by none other than Martha Soffer, a master in Ayurvedic Panchakarma, pulse diagnosis, and an Ayurvedic herbalist and chef. She’s dedicated to making Ayurveda accessible and practical for modern life, and her expertise shines through in every aspect of Surya Spa. If you’re looking for a sanctuary where you can nourish your body, mind, and soul, look no further.

📍 Santa Monica, LA
💸💸💸💸💸/5 🎯
Best For: Those looking to explore age-old wellness practices from the leaders of modern Ayurveda. Plus, anyone seeking a sense of deep renewal, mind and body balancing and detoxification.
👉🏾 What I Got: I went for the Nourish & Restore / Abhyanga + Shirodhara– a combo of absolute bliss!

I love my hometown with all my heart, but New York

I love my hometown with all my heart, but New York City aims to stress my skin out. Add working around the clock, and that’s a recipe for dull, drab-looking skin. So, on this trip, to get ahead of that, I started using @timeline_longevity while I was there. It’s powered by an exclusive ingredient with 15+ years of scientific research proving its powerful and effective results. Timeline works from the inside out to support your skin. The Serum and Day Cream were the perfect routine to meet all my skin’s needs. I saw a visible improvement in elasticity, hydration, and radiance. So if you’re looking for something to reinvigorate your skin as we head into the fall’s tricky weather, you should definitely check out Timeline—it could be just what you’re looking for, just like it was for me. #TimlineSkincare #TimelinePartner

Your girl just found the answer to an instant natu

Your girl just found the answer to an instant natural face lift. For this week’s Directory, I’m taking you to @facegym where I try their award-worthy Signature Facial Workout. This treatment is all about sculpting, depuffing, and toning the face and what’s wild is that you can see and feel the benefits almost immediately! This treatment is designed to release facial tension, stimulate lymphatic drainage, tone the muscles in the face and leave you with an instant sculpted appearance. How do they work their magic? The Workout starts with a soothing cleanse to clean the face and kick start your circulation. Then, they focus on collagen stimulation by infusing cardio movement in the form of high energy, whipping strokes to the face. Next is the sculpting massage, which includes gua sha and electronic muscle stimulation to release lymphatic fluid and define the jawline and cheekbones. This treatment was not only great for an instant contour and firming of my face but it also released so much build up tension around my jawline. I left feeling fit and so refreshed! Ready to level up your glow with some facial fitness? This workout is one you won’t want to miss.
