SMIRNOFF SOUND COLLECTIVE x TRIBES: DISCWOMAN
On the eve of International Women’s Day, SMIRNOFF Sound Collective premiered a new documentary
(produced by the spirit brand) showcasing female DJ talent from around the world. On this
night, they hosted a series of parties from around the world with Tribes: DISCOWOMAN which
spotlights the contributions of women within Electronic Music Culture. NYC, LA, Sydney and London
hosted these events at their Mixmag Sound Labs that premiered the documentary, had live
female DJ sets and of course SMIRNOFF vodka cocktails.
In NYC, guests that attended the party were not only able to view the 12 minute film, but also
enjoyed a live Q&A with DISCWOMAN whose co-founders Christine Tran, Frankie Hutchison and
Emma Burgess-Olson, as they shared the role of women in EDM as well as the inclusive nature of
the medium.
DJs Umfang, DJ Haram, Volvox and Tygapaw joined the discussion. The discussion focused on highlighting
points made throughout the documentary about the role of women in electronic music
culture, and the inclusive nature of electronic music. In addition to the women on the Q&A panel
who are in the film, world-renowned female DJs including Black Madonna, Nicole Moudaber, Star
Eyes, Sandunes, Demian Licht and Nina Sonik were celebrated within the program.

“The Smirnoff Sound Collective has made a commitment to becoming the biggest contributor to
the inclusive nature of electronic music culture,” said Justin Medcraft, SMIRNOFF Global Senior
Brand Manager. “We are fulfilling that commitment by using our global platform to celebrate
diversity in a way that inspires positive conversation within music and how the culture truly becomes
better when everyone is included.”
While much of the conversation over the past few years surrounding female DJ talent has focused
on issues of equal pay and opportunities for female DJs, the Smirnoff Sound Collective has
decided to use International Women’s Day as a worldwide celebration of female DJs. The story
told in “Tribes: DISCWOMAN” flips the script with a new narrative that sheds light on the incredible
energy and eclectic sense of style that female DJs contribute to the scene.
“The Smirnoff Sound Collective’s goal of telling an inclusive and diverse story about female DJs
is something we decided to join forces with because the work we do is more than just about us,”
said Frankie Hutchinson, DISCWOMAN co-founder. “It’s about an awesome community of women
who have great talent and deserve their stories be shared and celebrated.”

You can watch Tribes: DISCOWOMAN on Smirnoff Sound Collective’s YouTube page and you
can continue the conversation as well as get updates through their social media channels.
For those that will be in Miami, they will provide a stage to DISCOWOMAN on March 19th for
an all female lineup with performances by Laura Jones, Honey Dijon, and Tokimonsta. This is
just one day within the four day event from March 16 - 19th and is free to consumers 21 years
of age and older.
Smirnoff Sound Collective reminds music fans that whether you’re mixing music or cocktails,
do so responsibly.

lifestyle. Whether I’m visiting designers, on set
for shoots for this publication or others or going
on air – I always end up being in conversations
about health, mindfulness and balance. It’s always
interesting to see what’s out there and to
try it out. At the beginning of this year, I decided
that I would focus on certain areas in terms of my
fitness. I was about 2 weeks in when I was connected
with Exude Fitness and its CEO, Edward
Jackowski, Ph.D., one of the country’s leading
motivational fitness experts and best-selling author
of Escape Your Shape (Simon and Schuster).
A number of celebrities have graduated from
Exude Fitness including Brooke Shields, Tina Fey
and more.
I always felt that when people chose their
workouts it was based on their needs as well
as a way to tap into their energy. My vivid
memories of exercise include watching my
mom work out to Denise Austin, Glad and a
number of the 80’s stars. Aerobics, the step
and squats were a part of my routine from
high school through college as I loved the
movement and that feeling – who doesn’t
love a retro Jane Fonda moment? Towards
the end of college, I met the Elliptical and I
was hooked. As I transitioned to NYC as long
as there was an elliptical – that’s the only gym
equipment you would see me on for 45 mins
to an hour. At home, I would do routines that
focused on squats (loved them) and crunchies.
For the last few years when it came to various
workouts, I sampled the trends and methods
like I would a flight of wines and beer. It didn’t
bother me that I wasn’t committed to them –
as long as I kept moving.
As a woman who has always been comfortable
within my own skin, like many I have always
had areas that I would love to tweak;
however, I felt that there were things that
were clearly off the table due to genetics. As
the Co-Founder/Style Director of Athleisure
Mag, I love how we showcase fashion, style,
fitness, beauty and more within the athleisure
Prior to my first session, I was sent his book, Escape
Your Shape, which breaks down our bodies
into four shapes Hourglass®, Spoon®, Ruler® or
Cone®. With that said, these types have workouts
that are geared towards each shape (as well
as itemized no-no’s for each body type). Not surprisingly,
I knew that I was an Hourglass. I also
learned through the book that my sampling of
various workouts wasn’t about being aware of
what was out there, but my way of saying that
the methods weren’t helping me in my goals.
Therefore, I would try it out for a bit and then
move on. Frustration would set in and I would
simply go back to the elliptical and squats - as I
felt that that was benefitting me (although now
I know this doesn’t work for me in terms of the
goal of a leaner lower body).
Escaping
My
Shape
by Kimmie Smith

When I arrived at Exude Fitness at Bliss Spa,
I had already filled out a form that looked at
my medical history, my goals etc., and I kept in
mind the Hourglass focus. I had circled one of
my goals that simply stated toning in all areas.
I thought it was a reasonable answer and who
wouldn’t want to just have it all. The next 20
minutes of working with Edward showed me
that without even reading my answers he accurately
identified areas that I wanted to improve
upon. He also dispelled myths that I believed to
be true (ie., having larger thighs is hereditary
so it’s not something that I can really do anything
about). As we sat there, he charted what
we were working towards from reducing inches
to losing weight as well as to benchmarks.
Hearing that in 6 weeks I would see one series
of results and that by July (right before the holiday)
– I would hit the goals, I was shocked.
Just in case I had any more concerns on whether
this was possible, Edward had me do one
thing that made me a believer. I hadn’t been
able to touch my toes standing up in a very long
time. I chalked it up to having poor flexibility as
I got older. Within a few stretches on the same
day upon meeting Edward, I was able to touch
my toes (sometimes when I am working on a
workout and am challenged, I stop and touch
my toes to remember that something I didn’t
think I could do – I can do without effort).
Although I was a little sore my first day as I had
touched muscles that I hadn’t before, I was
excited to get a workout program that was
tailored to me for my body type. That night,
I had a program that included minimal equipment
(you can’t go wrong with 2 lb weights, a
jump rope and a 4 lb bar). Within my routines,
I have options for days that I do yoga or when
I’m traveling and am unable to be on a stationary
bike. Everything is thought out so that you
can optimize your workout to reach your goals.
In addition, he is only a phone call or an email
away. Another key portion of Exude Fitness is
the care that is taken to matching each person
to a trainer. It’s not just about ensuring that
you’re form is right or that you are increasing
your workout – it’s also about matching a personality
that creates a relationship. Through
the past 6+ weeks, working out with Fun Lee
has been a treat as she knows how I have advanced
within certain workouts that were previously
a challenge, she knows when I can do
a little more and keeps mixing it up – but she
also makes me feel really comfortable in general.
She also acknowledges my commitment
to the process and that I am genuinely blown
away by the results.
When it comes to results, I have to say that I
saw toned areas throughout my legs pretty
quickly and well before my 6 week target, I
was pleased with the transformation that happened
and of course with working out within
what works for my body, it’s easier for me to
push forward even through portions that are
still a little tough. As Edward says, the “results
and motivation are directly linked to each other
- and the more results you see, the more incentive
you have for continuing to exercise.”
At the end of the day health, fitness and aesthetics
are the core benefits to exercising and
when these are met through picking, “the right
exercises and activities that are based on your
body type” – going back to sampling an array of
workouts is not even an option. For the past 25
years, Exude Fitness has studied and analyzed
the aesthetic effects of exercise and holds the
world’s only medically-proven and patented
exercise program based on body types - as he
is the pioneer and innovator of this method.
I’m pleased to share that I will check in with
you on my results and findings with my training
with Exude Fitness and even outside of the
magazine, you will be able to see more about
what they are doing throughout the website.
As Spring makes everyone think about their
fitness levels again (just in case some of you
made those resolutions at the beginning of the
year), I want to share with you Exude Fitness
and its body types, as well as some key notes
about each.
KNOW YOUR BODY TO GET TONED
No matter whether you’re an Hourglass®,
Spoon®, Ruler® or Cone® (although these
body types are genetically predetermined) it’s
understanding your type that will allow you to
work out your problem areas and to adjust your
workout plan. In terms of diet, I can only speak
to my plan, I really have not been restricted
from any food; however, it is about when I am
eating it. I have always been one that doesn’t
eat breakfast, has a light lunch (depending on

what’s going on it’s a salad) and then a larger
meal for dinner. A nugget of truth came when
Edward said that my larger meal should be lunch
as that is when I need more energy and my
lighter meal should be a salad. When you think
about it, it makes sense and as we’re moving
into the summer, having this simple, yet effective
advice will definitely be welcome. As someone
who loves potatoes, learning that I don’t
have to break up with it but can simply enjoy
them during lunch with one cheat evening with
them are just some of the examples of why this
method works with your lifestyle.
To properly identify your shape, it’s simply a
matter of seeing where your weight (which
includes muscle and fat) is distributed on your
frame. Once you know your shape, you’re able
to make the proper adjustments. Most women
are Hourglass and Rulers, while most men
are Cones and Rulers; moreover, your height or
weight doesn’t determine which body type you
are. It’s also worth noting that if you are vastly
overweight, you may have a hard time seeing
what your true body type may be. It’s best to
follow the Hourglass workout until you begin
to reduce your weight to see where you are. At
that point, you can assess your type and begin
targeting the exact workout for your true body
type.
HOURGLASS
* Carries weight in both the upper and lower
body; however, slender at the waist
* Significant difference between the circumference
of your chest and waist (or between
hips and waist)
* Your body reflects a balanced and curvaceous
appearance when looked at in the mirror
It’s worth noting that those that are this type
tend to look lighter than their actual weight
and tend to gain most of their mass in the
thighs and backs of arms.
BEST EXERCISES
* Jump Rope (this has become my new friend)
* Stationary biking with light to moderate resistance
(when I am not accessible to a bike, I
walk in non-inclined areas)
* Upper body exercises with light weights and
high repetitions
EXERCISES TO AVOID
* Step classes (I gave a sigh on this one)
* Spinning
* Kick-boxing (another sigh)
* Elliptical (this took a moment for me to mark
this passing)
THE DETAILS
As an Hourglass, my purpose is high reps (at
least 25 – 50 repetitions for each exercise), low
resistance and low weights for both upper and
lower bodies. As my body slims down and lose
weight and mass, I can then increase resistance
and weight. Regardless, I have to continue
high reps for each exercise.
THE GOAL: Trim upper and lower body.

erate resistance/weights until your reach your
ideal weight!
THE GOAL: Focus on trimming your stomach/
mid-section which will make you a little curvy.
RULER
* You’re straight up and down with very few
curves due to equal body proportions
* Little difference in the circumference of your
chest, waist and hips
* You gain weight around your midsection
It’s worth noting that those with this body type
do not bulk easily, have less hamstring flexibility
then Hourglasses and Spoons and have a
tendency to lower back pain.
BEST EXERCISES
* Yoga, stretch/calisthenics classes, Pilates on
machines
* Full sit-ups without locking feet, upper and
lower abdominal crunches and leg outs
* Jogging with incline, step classes, spinning,
lunges and squats
THE DETAILS
Those who are within this shape don’t have to
avoid any exercises! If you are overweight and
are looking to lose, then you need to use a mod-
2016.March
- 21 -
SPOON
* Your lower body is considerably larger than the
upper body
* You carry most of your weight in your hips,
thighs and buttocks
* You gain weight from the hips down
* When you look in the mirror, your eyes go directly
to your lower body
Spoons tend to have a weaker upper body and
thicker thighs, knees, calves and ankles.
BEST EXERCISES
* Jumping rope with a speed rope
* Push-ups
www.athleisuremag.com

* Standing knee to opposite chest
EXERCISES TO AVOID
* Squats, lunges and ankle weights
* All stair climbers/steppers, Elliptical and
cross trainers
* Spinning
THE DETAILS
For a Spoon, it’s all about high reps and low
resistance for all lower-body exercises and
moderate to high resistance for all upper body
exercises. For those that are overweight, the
resistance should not be too high for the upper
body either.
THE GOAL: A trimmer and more streamlined
lower body and to have a stronger upper body
so that you have a proportionate look.
* The upper body is considerably larger than the
lower body
Cones tend to have weak abdominal muscles and
they experience some back pain.
BEST EXERCISES
* All lower body exercises that have moderate to
heavy weights and/or resistance
* Walking or jogging on incline
* Upper body exercises with lightweight and high
reps
EXERCISES TO AVOID
* All upper body exercises with moderate to high
weights/resistance
* Kick-boxing moves for the upper body
* All exercise classes with hand weights or weighted
bars heavier than 2 lbs.
THE DETAILS
Although Cones tend to avoid abdominal and
lower body exercises, they are essential to do
to become proportioned. The focus here is high
reps and low resistance or weighs for the upper
body with high resistance and moderate to
heavy weights for the lower body. In addition,
Cones that are male tend to struggle with giving
up heavy weight lifting for their upper bodies.
They need to switch to push-ups, dips, chin-ups
or upper body routines that use lower weight
and higher repetitions.
THE GOAL: Getting a trimmer, less bulky upper
body and strengthen the lower body to achieve
better symmetry.
CONE
Over the next few months, I will check in with you
on my progress as well as share additional items
that are going on with Exude Fitness.
* You carry most of your weight in your back,
chest, arms and stomach
* You’re more slender from the hips down

over each nail with a piece of foil.
3. Wait 10 minutes, remove wrap one at a time and
remove any gel left on nail with an orange wood
stick, if necessary.
4. Moisturize each nail with cuticle oil.
On trend this season for nail colors: peachy orange,
blush pinks, light grays and minty greens are very
popular for 2016.

While being teased with warm weather
last week here in NYC, we know that the
real thing is not that far away! That means
spending more time heading to our favorite
nail salons to get gel manicures. We
took a moment to chat with our friends
at Paintbox in Soho to find out about gel
treatments as well as the safe way to remove
it when you don’t have time to make
your way to this chic manicure salon.
Gel manicures are a great way to not only
have a long lasting manicure (the Athleisure
Mag team can rock ours for 2 weeks
with no chips), but also to maintain length
if desired. With proper removal, gel manicures
are not damaging or harmful.
You can safely remove your gel manicure
by:
1. Buffing the top coat off of each nail with
a buffer file.
2. Soak a small piece of cotton with each
pure acetone or gel remover and wrap it

Coming and Going:
Tory Burch
Tory Burch has a way of finding the elegance
within a lifestyle. Whether you enjoy her
namesake line that has iconic styles with her
much loved 70’s orange hues that find their
way in her collection. When speaking to those
that define themselves as “Tory Girls” it’s not
only an embrace of the brand at retail but the
woman herself who embodies the qualities
of a designer as well as providing empowerment
to females around the globe in achieving
their dreams to own their own businesses.
She has left her fingerprint on pieces that
can be worn to brunch, the office and beyond
across a staggering array of categories. But
the idea of creating Tory Sport, a sport line
was always something she wanted to create
Athleisure Mag caight up with Tory to step
into her world and understand why she has included
this within her universe. “I found that
I kept wearing my sports clothes from high
school and college and I was intrigued by the
concept of the elegance of sport”, Tory says.
In addition, Tory is known as someone who
is active whether she’s working out 4 times
a week or focusing on a particular sport such
as paddleboard yoga. Tory Sport is not available
within Tory Burch boutiques and can be
found at their Elizabeth Street Pop Up, online
and at their Tory Sport store on Fifth Avenue
in Flatiron, which will open this spring.
We fell in love with Tory Sport's collection
2016.March

www.athleisuremag.com

due to its perfect blend of function
and form coming together for ultimate
style. COOLMAX (a sport friendly material)
can play with cashmere, SPF,
Schoeller Fabric to repel water, oil and
dirt as well as including neoprene being
used within gym bags and more. The
pieces incorporate our Athleisure lifestyle
by being able to wear the leggings
from gym to lunch and having fitted
jackets and blazers that can be mixed
with tees and curve hugging pants that
allow you to jetset in comfort, hitting
the ground running when you land.
When Tory reflects on how this line can
be classified, she is quick to note that
its focus is on "looking good and being
comfortable". It’s about the transition
of leaving a lunch to go to the airport,
going to work to join a class at your
studio and more. In this manner, she
defines Tory Sport as a part of “coming
and going” and ensuring that your
closet allows this process to happen in
an easy way. In addition, it’s focused on
performance for running, yoga, tennis
and golf. Because the focus is on the
ability to navigate your day and to mix
and match pieces that are great for
work but can merge into the studio. In
addition, the line has elements of the
70s in it and has a color palette that is
different then many performance/fitness
lines which tend to lean towards
pastels or fluorescent hues.
With an array of brands working within
the space, Tory feels that she stands
out as she doesn’t focus on many of
the trends utilized by other brands
such as exposing body parts – she embraces
the country club preppy focus
with pieces that cover studio fitness as
well as classic sports such as golf and
tennis. In addition, personalization is
a vital component so those looking to
have their track jackets/pants monogrammed
can enjoy this detail to make
it their own.

ATHLEISURE LIST: NYC
TITAN FITNESS
Titan Fitness Studios was
founded in Januray 2011, on
the second floor of its current
location when it started
out as a personal training
studio. The philosophy
has always been based on
an old school approach
without gimmicks or a lot
of commercial equipment.
Their focus is the client’s
progress from working
with their own body weight
(modifying when needed,
e.g. assisted pull-ups) to
advanced versions of the
same exercise (e.g. weighted
pull-ups).
With the inclusion of small
groups, this original process
is now applied to the
launch of Titan Total Body
program. Unlike gyms
with overcrowded classes
where members lack a personalized
progressive experienece,
group training
- Titan Total Body, is more
akin to personal training
with experienced coaches.
The workouts are intense,
but not intimidating, and
multiple variations of the
same exercise are offered
based on your level of fitness.
Over time, the coaches
will progress you along
the spectrum from beginner
to advanced. It's not
just about working up a
sweat, coaches teach you
correct form and you'll notice
a marked improvement
2016.March
in your fitness over sessions.
In addition to working out,
Titan looks at the total body
and its needs. They have a
partnership with Kettlebell
(KB) Kitchen - a paleo meal
delivery service. KB Kitchen
offers customizable meal
- 54 -
plans based on client goals,
which they can pick up directly
from Titan Fitness
Studios after their workout.
In addition, there is a

ATHLEISURE LIST: LA
SPEIR FITNESS
Speir Pilates is a small group class
Pilates fusion studio located in
downtown Santa Monica. The
classes are taught by highly certified
instructors with a 600 hour
classical Pilates certification as well
as a specialty in a modern exercise
technique. This means that the instructors
are also top tier circuit
trainers and fantastic ballet barre
instructors. All the teachers are
handpicked and trained for months
in the Speir Pilates method.
Classes include:
- An athletic power reformer class
that focuses on lengthening and
chiseling every part of the body
without leaving the reformer.
- A reformer/cardio fusion class that
circuits in modern cardio-aerobic
interval training to get fast results.
- A reformer/ballet barre fusion
class - if you like sweat-tastic dance
parties and changing your body
- this is your class! This class fuses
in circuits of ballet barre work that
elongates, tones and chisels the
legs, arms, abs and booty while
working through elongating exercises
on the reformer.
The studio is the brainchild of Pilates
instructor Andrea Speir. She
began creating her method over
the past ten years as a fitness professional.
By including exercises
from her background as a dancer
and trainer, she began creating
a style of Pilates that was truly an
all-in-one workout. Andrea didn’t
want her clients to feel the need to
2016.March
go to the gym and sit on
a bike to get cardio after
their workout. She began
fusing in elements to save
her clients time and money
and it began changing her
clients bodies beyond belief
- hence the method was
born.
- 56 -
Equally impressive is Andrea’s
background as she is
the face of Pilates for subscription
site, DailyBurn.
She is the star of two top
selling DVD’s as well as a pilates
app. Her app reached
the iTunes top 100 chart
within two months of release
and has remained in
www.athleisuremag.com

the top 2 Pilates app for over 2 years. She has
graced the cover of Pilates Style Magazine,
as well as the pages of Self, Shape, Livestrong,
FitBottomed Girls, Active Times, and
more. She has taught her Pilates method on
TV, such as the Kris Jenner Show, Hallmark,
ABC News and more. She is the star of cyber
training course Ballet Fit at McFit gyms
- which is essentially the Equinox of Europe.
In addition, she teaches classes via video to
groups of gym goers in 272 gyms across Europe
on a daily basis.
The other half of the team is Elizabeth Polk -
senior counsel at Netflix. Lawyer by day, she
had a deep founded passion for health and
fitness. Her dedication to her own healthy
living inspired her to work to help others
become stronger as well, leading her to
choose to spend her free time working to
create a studio that offers fantastic classes
and highly certified teachers at a price that
the general public could afford.
With plans for expansion, Speir Fitness is
keen to reach as many people as possiblble.
Guests at this fitness center can enjoy a
complimnentary coffee and tea bar. Within
their shop, they can purchase Health-Ade
kombucha, Lucky Jack cold brewed coffee
and water.
By the end of the month, Speir Fitness will
be the brick and mortar for online fitness
retailer, Carbon 38. The boutique also sells
their own label of tees, pullovers, towels,
bags and Swell bottles.

Spring means that being outside is a given.
Any excuse/reason is welcome. To
toast this, we put together three looks
for after work drinks, impromptu poolside
and post brunch beverages with our
friend Rachel Sheen, who is in Marvel’s
new movie, Deadpool.
We shot our brunch and after work looks
at JIMMY Soho which sits atop the James
Hotel and we’re sure these looks will find
their way into your rotation.
ATHLEISURE MAG: What is the aesthetic/vibe
of the JIMMY at the James Hotel?
JIMMY SOHO: JIMMY is a grown up,
stylish, fun and unpretentious cocktail
lounge that has indoor/outdoor capacity.
We’re not a dance club although often
people are bopping their heads to
our DJs (THUR/FRI/SAT night and SAT/
SUN afternoons in summer). We’re 18
floors above Soho/Tribeca with nearly
360 views of the city. JIMMY is a fairly
intimate space, holding about 100 indoors
with room for another 75 outside
in good weather. The vibe is for conversation
and socializing, whether that’s after
work or post-dinner.
AM: Since JIMMY lounge is a rooftop,
what areas are guests able to enjoy now
that spring is on its way?

DRINK

WARDROBE STYLIST Kimmie Smith
MUA/HAIR STYLIST Christina Padilla
JS: Our roof area is always open for people
to step outside but right now people
are more focused on staying cozy inside,
sitting on couches by the floor-to-ceiling
windows, grooving to some great music,
and catching up with friends or making
new ones.
AM: JIMMY Soho just had an Oscars party,
what other events do you have coming
up that we should place into our calendars?
JS: We always do Super Bowl and Oscar
parties. The next afternoon we’ll have a
special gathering will be for The Ken-

DJs. We’ll also be showing

both out by the pool and indoors.

drink of JIMMY lounge and
what are some of the favorite
dishes that are enjoyed by
guests?
JIMMY: We don’t have one
signature cocktail, but we
have two cocktails since we
have opened that we can’t

Maple, Cinnamon and

AM: Who are the creators of
JIMMY lounge and what are
their backgrounds in terms of
the culinary and nightlife/mixology
scene?
- 62 -
JIMMY: JIMMY was developed
by David Rabin and
Johnny Swet. David was a
founder of Lotus and other
well-known nightspots,
and is now a partner in Cafe
Clover, The Lambs Club, The
Skylark and JIMMY. Johnny
Swet worked at many of the
most iconic spots in NY like
Bowery Bar and Pastis before
opening his own places,
Hotel Griffou and Rogue and
Canon. He’s also the cocktail
consultant for the Dream Hotel,
Cafe Clover, The Skylark
and JIMMY, and several other
prominent NYC venues.
AM: What makes JIMMY
lounge distinctive in the nightlife
scene?
JIMMY: JIMMY is nightlife for
people who are either “over”
going to big clubs with EDM
where they can’t hear themselves
speak, or for groups to
gather for a cocktail or two
before they head out for a real
late-nighter. It’s also the ideal
spot to spend a spring/summer
weekend afternoon, sipping
a cocktail out by the pool. In
that way, it’s kind of “day-life”.

There are a number of hair trends that are
great ways to update your look for Spring/
Summer 2016. With so many techniques out
there, we chatted with Boston’s Edward
Blum of the Makeover Salon and Spa (he also
works with his talented wife, Norah Blum)
to talk about his work as well as explaining
popular color techniques.
ATHLEISURE MAG: How did you become
known as ‘Edwards Scissor Hands’?
EDWARD BLUM: The Edward Scissorhands
nickname I was given was given by one of
the field people at Boston magazine for best
of Boston in 2013. We won Best of Boston
south at that time for Boston’s best hair salon.
When I was working on the scout, she
was not allowed to really tell us that she was
from Boston magazine but made a comment
about how my hands seem to work while I
was cutting her hair and made reference to
the name Edward Scissorhands. She also
printed that quote in the article in Boston
Magazine in August 2013. My hands move
quickly when I cut people’s hair and over the
years I have had many different funky, so to
speak hairstyles, so when the movie came
out starring Johnny Depp, it was a natural
being my name is Edward for people to call
me Edward Scissorhands! I’ve heard that
phrase many times over the years.
AM: How was being a fashion/hair consultant
at Milan Fashion Week last fall, beneficial in
seeing upcoming trends?
EB: My official position in working with fashion
week in Milan was to be there pre-fashion
week, which was one week before and
leading into Milan Fashion Week. We were
there learning new techniques and being
able to see the trends as they come forward
for spring summer and fall. The team of us
representing L’Oreal USA were chosen as we
were the top stylists and everyone had an
2016.March
- 68 -
impressive resume. All of our input was
needed as we represent the entire USA market.
We worked and networked with each
other so that we could interpret fashion in
our individual markets.
AM: What is the Makeovers Salon + Spa?
EB: Makeovers Salon and Spa was opened
on October of 1987. We opened our first location
in Easton Massachusetts with five employees
the salon was open and has always
been owned by Edward and Norah Blum. We
opened the salon in the suburbs of Boston
in hopes to establish our roots and family
in a beautiful suburb and having already
worked globally wanted to create an urban
environment in the beautiful South suburb
of Easton, MA. The company quickly grew as
we opened it with a base of 1100 clients and
our mission was to be Fashion forward always
looking to the next trend and to grow
a team of stylists that would collaborate to
not only watch the trends but help create
them. Over the years we have enlarged the
facility many times and have grown into not
only the first day spa and salon south of Bos-

ton, but one of the most progressive. We
have a family approach with our team members
and many of us have worked with each
other for over twenty years. We believe that
no member is unable to bring their own
unique gifts to the team, and we work together
almost in a “teaching hospital “ fashion
to share our strengths and weaknesses
for the greater good of the group.
We specialize in every facet of and beauty
service and work together to excell as there
is always strength in numbers!
AM: What is the ‘Color and Style Think Tank’?
EB: One of our newest group projects has
been labeled “The Think Tank.” This consists
of our group getting together on an ongoing
basis to create and analyze new techniques
and a lot of times we will, with permission,
work together in a client to try some ink
active and experimental concepts that will
lead into a whole new finished design in color,
cutting, or just a finished piece of hair art!
It is a collaborative of mad scientists pushing
the limits to create a revolutionary new concept.
We would rather move ahead than follow
however, we always respect others and
are quick to give praise for our kindred spirits!
For us, it is a great team building process
and it breaks the barriers between the new
comers and the veterans, because all that is
required is willingness and talent!
within ‘Cyber Color’, color contouring, color
palettes, ‘ecaille’, color melting and Balyage
– for those that are not familiar, can you
share what this is?
EB: Cyber color, Ombré and balata are morphing
as great techniques rule in many new
forms. People are getting more into free
hand and artistic approaches and there’s
no going back! lt seems every corner of our
artistic Comunity has a new pallet. We were
predicting more plums and rich golds and
apricots, as well as strawberry shortcake
and warm buttery blonds. Another team of
fashionistas is showing pastelle points and
then we have the newest craze “the oil slick
color” using greens, blacks, dark rich Cherri’s
and blues! I think the operative word is
Rich color is in! But then give it a minute!
We are also seeing a great trend in shirt
cropped hair styles with length at the top
and disconnected pieces coming out of
nowhere, e.g. Sassoon Mia Farrow looks.
Styles that shave sections out of the hair
and give way to a petaling effect like layers
of a rose.
This is why we live Instagram! Unicorn hair,
oil slick color melts cyber color we love it all.
It’s like someone threw away the key to the
paint box and us crazy kids have run wild
with the supplies!
AM: What trends will we see within hair options
as we get into Spring/Summer 2016?
EB: Spring/Summer will continue to bring innovative
trends in pastel colors! The styles
will be influenced by many eras. We are seeing
a lot of seventies looks with a shaggy
texture and all types of bangs! I have seen
and worked with a lot of strong bangs this
season, blunt if you will. We are seeing color
still in the lead and new techniques pop up
by the minute thanks to the internet, i.e. color
melting on Instagram, Facebook, etc.
AM: When you look at Instagram, you always
see great hair colors. Clearly you’re a man
who enjoys color techniques such as Unicorn
hair and other methods. Tell us about trends
2016.March

of tone all in the same family.
AM: What celebrities have you worked on?
EB: I have been privileged to work on both
celebrity’s on screen as well as celebrity’s in
their own rights. From Christian Alphonso,
Judge Maria Lopes for her show by Sony
pictures, Maureen Hancock from Disney’s
“Postcards from Heaven" and many Boston
anchors for channel 4 and 5. I have also
worked with many models, one of my favorites
being Carol Alt many years ago for
a show when she still did couture in-store
events.
Cyber color is a technique where shapes and
lines are imprinted in the hair using things like
foil and plastic wrap. These shapes are separated
and spaced in a way to give the hair a
graphic look, lines and shapes and colors are
separated to draw a story onto the head instead
of blending and flowing.
Color contouring is a technique using lights
and darks to illuminate great features and
detract from your features that you want to
diminish. It also gives a sense of height and
depth. If you have shorter, heavier face we
can go lighter on the top to create height and
make the face appear leaner and taller. All
these techniques have the goal of creating a
more oval or symmetrical image, which is the
most desirable.
Ecaille is a trend with three or more shades to
create a beautiful blend of tone on tone color.
One of these palettes is a blonde, brown, and
warm red. Each color gives background or
foreground. The end result is beautiful blends
2016.March

My favorite work has been working with
models for designers like Donna Karan,
Michael Kors and Cynthia Rowley. Many
of the greatest celebrity clients we have
worked on have been local people giving a
hand to animal causes and homeless shelter
projects like Catherine and Jason Veritec,
former captain and wife of the Boston
Red Sox! I believe everyone is a celebrity
if their hearts and energies are put to the
best effort of people and creatures in need!
I have won many honors in my career like,
Best of Boston, Beat magazines Best Rock
Hairdresser, and Northeast Cutting and
Styling Champion. My Salon has won Readers
Choice Gold over twenty times, Salon
of the year, Business of the year and has
been featured in Modern Salon, American
Salon, Launch Pad, Boston Magazine, and
many many more thanks to our staff and
the partnership with my partner and wife
Norah Blum and as a team Norah and I have
won “Business owners of the year.” Over
the years my wife and team have supported
me through the many country’s challenging
projects I have been involved in. Together
we all have worked thru many overnights
putting together collection shoots for Sebastian,
Wella and many fashion shows until
early morning hours for charity events.
AM: What are your suggestions for those
who have never done a major change on
their hair, but have decided to do so - how
do they manage their expectations and become
comfortable with their new look?
EB: As far as suggestions go for the client
www.athleisuremag.com

to work into a new style? There are so many
different personalities to consider!
For many, the easiest way is to take some of
the details that have always been a hit with
the client. If they like to create a look incorporating
a covered forehead than use that
feature in the new look. It’s like taking a long
trip from home by still having your favorite
teddy bear to cuddle for safety! Lol. If the
client has always liked their style with a side
part then keep it in the new look. There are
guides and clues that will assure success if
2016.March
- 71 -
you look over the clients history to gather.
Sometimes a shy client doesn’t know why
they liked a previous look they just did. We
may not see it, but these pieces of a style
create the confidence that gives that look a
thumbs up to them!
For the client that’s willing to jump right into
the fire? Look at images to gather and tell
them to fasten their seatbelt, it’s going to be
an adventurous ride! With confidence and
having established a wonderful connection,
the sky is the limit.

PARADISE
FOUND
By Kitty Bradshaw
The feeling of total peace brought me back
to Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto
where I spent some much needed down
time. Not quite as popular as Mexico City or
Cancun—Loreto Mexico offers a much more
toned down, tranquil experience which resonates
with travelers like myself that want
to retreat from the world. This resort offers
a respite that creates a stress free zone
tempered at a frequency of Zen. Everyone
leaves Villa del Palmar feeling light and free
of any burdens or anxiety. Simply put, this
resort is my quiet place off the grid.
The property of Villa del Palmar is a town
within a town; a Spanish style Shangri-La of
sorts. The resort spans 4,447 acres which
includes a golf course, tennis court, multiple
swimming pools of various sizes and
visibility, full scale spa, 3 restaurants, private
beach, and a reclining chair with your
name on it. The elements of both land and
sea come together to create a vibrancy rich
in color and texture that makes it a worthy
choice. Although its amenities are plentiful,
I enjoy focusing on the feeling of a vacation
in its truest sense and all its benefits.
FOODIE PARADISE
I pretty much ate everything that was set in
front of me and then some. Villa del Palmar
at the Islands of Loreto has an all-inclusive
food and drink package through the restaurants
and room service. Seafood, steaks,
and tequila— they had to peel me away
from the table by the time it was all said
and done. Stand outs for me included the
Chocolate Clams, Tortilla Soup, and Mexican
style briskets, lobster, shrimp cocktails, and
customized cocktails with each meal. Their
award winning chefs created everything I
could imagine. When I wasn’t intoxicated,
dreaming, or working out; I enjoyed plenty
of delicious meals and specialty drinks.

seeking the ultimate in comfort and style,
business groups or corporate events.
WHERE TO GO - WHAT TO DO
The Bar!!!
The #1 rule while on vacation is go where
the wind blows you. To my surprise and
enjoyment; the wind placed me at a bar
with every turn. From what I remember
during my moments of sobriety on that
particular trip, I was never less than one
pace away from a bartender that didn’t
know my name. Aside from the obvious
drinking, guests have the option to take a

2 hour Tequila Tasting course which results in
a certificate of completition at the end. My
experience included partaking in drinking
games during final exams-- the graduation
ceremony was something dreams are made
of.
Town of Loreto
Kitty Bradshaw is a Passionate Traveler, Brand
Ambassador and Lifestyle Influencer currently
splitting residences between New York, Los Angeles,

Waikiki hanging out with friends. Some of
her more memorable trips can be found

YRB Magazine to name a few.
The resort provides transportation to and
from the Town of Loreto. Tourists can shop
local vendors selling homemade goods such
as pottery, blankets, ponchos, beaded jewelry,
and various wines and spirits. I brought
back 2 bottles of 160 proof Mexican Vanilla
Crème Liqueur that can be enjoyed straight
or mixed with tequila.
Del Carmen Island
Off the sea of Danzante Bay resides a private
island by the name of Del Carmen Island.
Guests of Villa del Palmar resort can reserve
a boat to take them out to the island where
they can have lunch, swim, or relax on the
beach. Depending on the season you can see
both dolphins and whales swim along the
boat as it makes waves.
Other activities include snorkeling, hiking,
San Javier Mission Excursion, tours, cruises,
Sun Salutations with the resident Shaman,
and Spa treatments, to name a few. Regardless
if you are there to relax by lounging in a
chair or immersing yourself in activities that
take your mind off the world back home-- Villa
del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto resort
provides customized experiences that will exceed
expectations and turn you into a repeat
guest. If you are interested in visiting Villa
del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto, rates run

PHO

ale Sprouts
TOGRAPHY Paul Farkas

We always keep an eye out on interesting finds and the other day (thanks to Food Network’s cohost
of The Kitchen, Sunny Anderson), we found out about Kalettes which is a hybrid vegetable
that merges Kale and Brussel Sprouts together. With a little more research, we realized this relatively
new creation is called Kale Sprouts or Brussel Kale. Those who are a fan of these vegetables,
are defintiely going to enjoy them blended together. We headed to Athleisure Kitchen and
had Chef Rosalie from Williams Sonoma create two must have recipes (you can find more recipes
at Kalettes) that have minimal prep and cook time in order to give you a nutritous snack, side or
meal. In case you have any questions on whether this should be incorporated into your food lifestyle,
remember that Kale and Brussel Sprouts have a number of benefits.
KALE BENEFITS
- Low in calories & high in fiber
- High in Vitamin A, C, K
- High in Iron and Calcium
- Filled with powerful antioxidants
- Is the perfect detox food
BRUSSEL SPROUTS BENEFITS
- High in protein
- High in Vitamin C, K

Pre-heat the oven to 425 F. On a rimmed baking sheet, add Kalettes and grape tomatoes. Drizzle
with olive oil and vinegar, toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 10
minutes. Remove pan from oven and stir Kalettes making sure to coat with the pan juices. Place
in serving bowl and top with feta cheese.

Kalettes with Mushrooms and Peppers
SERVES: 4
PREP: 5 minutes
COOK: 10 minutes
1 tablespoon olive oil (again, we used Olio Santo Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 orange bell pepper, sliced
5 ounces Kalettes, sliced lengthwise
1/3 cup walnut pieces, toasted
In skillet over medium, heat the olive oil and then add the mushrooms and bell peppers. Sauté
for 3-5 minutes or until vegetables start to soften. Add Kalettes and stir to combine. Cover and
cook for 5-7 minutes or until the Kalettes are tender crisp.
Place in serving bowl and sprinkle with walnuts.

It's all about using great tools that allow your work to be that much easier when it comes to
cooking! We found that in making these sides, that the Shun Chopper Knife. The Kalettes with
Mushrooms and Peppers was made with a Breville Stainless-Steel Electric Hot Wok. In addition,
we suggest calling your local grocer to see if they have Kalettes, Kale Sprouts or Brussel Kale as
we found that they are definitely a hot item! We suggest calling Whole Foods and Trader Joe's as
we had success with these stores.

IT’S A #PARKERPARTY
by Nisim Frank
Music is a lifeline to everything you doyour
car rides, workouts, 4:00am New
York City nights. Newcomer to the game,
DJ Parker has made hit playlists forever at
his SoulCycle classes, aptly called a #ParkerParty.
Perfectly blending recognizable
hits with upcoming talent, his fans avidly
began researching just who he was playing.
Enjoying a weekly #ParkerParty myself
while growing my musical library, I
was thrilled- but not too surprised- to have
run into him DJing the GARCIAVELEZ SS16.
The natural progression from studio to
fashion event was an extension of who he
was as a musical curator. Wanting to learn
more, I sat down with Parker after coming
off one of his most intense workouts,
where we chatted about his gig with legendary
nightlife personality LadyFag, how
he creates his setlists, and why he won’t
shy away from playing Kanye West’s new
album despite all the controversy.
Nisim Frank: How did you get into DJing?
DJ Parker: Well I started teaching Soul-
Cycle, and even before then, I have been
making playlists my entire life and SoulCycle,
the music part of it really called out to
me and then eventually, people would
come up to me and comment about how
good the music was, so I thought to myself
“Oh, that’s a natural talent, a natural progression
from there”. I decided that I was
going to go take classes and take classes
on Vinyl and bought my own DJ controllers
set which lead to me mixing all my classes
while doing gigs on the side, trying to enter
the nightlife aspect a little more.
NF: Tell us a little more about some of the
gigs you’ve done.
DJ P: I’ve done two fashion shows last
New York Fashion Week Mens, one for
GarciaVelez which was a soundtrack to
compliment the collection. I did a “Supply
& Demand” event at Beauty & Essex
which was really chill. I also DJed “Holy
Mountain” which is a monthly party that
nightlife celebrity Ladyfag throws at Slink.
To date, that was my biggest gig so far. I
got to meet Ladyfag and Azaelia Banks
showed up and did a special presentation.
NF: We have serious FOMO right now.
DJ P: It was amazing! There were so many
2016.March

cool people there and I felt really comfortable
up there. I felt like I knew what I was doing and
now the next step would be just to continue to
be doing more gigs.
NF: When you put together a setlist, do you think
about who you’re audience is going to be or do
you compile the list strictly on your own?
DJ P: I think its a little bit of both. If the inspiration
that is there is something that can reach the
entire audience, then I will go with that instinct
and it’ll be fine. If I know I’m into something
that is a little “weird” that isn’t widely known,
I’ll throw it in with some Top 40 or something
that people will know so that they have a connection
to the music that I’m showing them.
NF: How do you find music that nobody knows
about?
DJ P: Its weird, I feel like people ask me that all
the time and I don’t feel like I find music that
nobody knows about! The way I put it together
is different because I’m not one to be scouring
the blogs, I usually just have the music from
iTunes. I look at albums that I like and then what
some other people are listening to as well.
NF: Name an emerging artist that we should be
on the lookout for.
DJ P: Shamir who is pop slash disco but with a
little darker flare to it similar to Azaelia Banks.
Its kind of gay, not Chelsea gay but very new
edge New York City gay. He’s very young and
he’s very connected to where music is going.
NF: I know you don’t shy from playing a lot of
Kanye West. Given his recent controversies with
Taylor Swift, Deadmau5, etc, tell us why you’re
so comfortable still playing Kanye while others
are shunning away from him.
DJ P: Well me and Kanye West share the same
birthday (June 8th) and I’m really into horoscopes
and connected into my “Gemini sense of
being”. I feel like his honesty is very comforting
because as a Gemini, you have these battling
sides. You want to be the ‘family man’ but you
also have these crazy sides to you. He’s expressing
himself in a way that makes you feel okay
to have those different sides to yourself
and express that honesty. I think its a cosmic
thing.
NF: Another artist I know you love to play
(who is one of my favorites) is Lorde. What
do you expect or want from her next album?
DJ P: I think Lorde really changed the way
that I heard music- really! She’s the first
person that played with electronica that
felt more human, so I’m expecting her
to really shock and surprise me again. I
think her collaboration with Disclousre,
the song “Magnets” was one of the best
collaborations I have ever heard period.
Talking about her weaknesses and talking
about who she is has been so impactful.
I’m a lyrical person so listening to those
layered lyrics are amazing.
NF: What is one song you have on repeat
right now?
DJ P: One of my favorites I have to say because
the Kanye album just came out and
each song is such a different genre, I have
to say “Fade” which is going to be my favorite
song for at least the next three
weeks.
My goal is to work with music across different
industries whether it be at the
clubs, fashion, or fitness. Really put my art
out there in a way that I’m soundtracking
moments and my Soul Cycle classes are
soundtracking reality, bringing us all closer
together and its a meditation that we
all experience.

How to get the edge on happiness, meaning
with philosophy and technology
Did you know that people that start their days
happy end up living healthier, more successful
lives? In my experience as a musician and Wall
Street technology analyst, I’ve explored a
plethora of writings and ways we can improve
ourselves – and how to become more happy.
I’d like to share a few insights that I have
found especially valuable – and I hope others
will find a better appreciation for the role that
proactive happiness – and the role of meaning
– play in life, health and career. You don’t
have to be naturally “born happy” though,
just use a few techniques to prime feelings of
happiness during the day and it will improve
your performance, memory and energy.
“Every day is a good day” is my philosophy…
but some days are inevitably going to be
tougher than others. If you’re like most busy
people, you have to juggle a lot of responsibilities
across work, home, family and friends.
On the days where everything is going great,
it’s easy to stay cheerful and upbeat – but on
the days where life throws you for a loop,
it takes extra effort not to let yourself be
dragged down by negative thoughts. Aggravations
can seemingly attack you from every
angle. For busy professionals, it can be a challenge
to maintain focus with a positive mindset
when it seems you’re constantly under assault
by negative distractions.
A positive mindset is the best asset you can
bring to the table. High performers in the arts,

professional sports and business
know that your mindset
is key to winning. All else being
equal, the competitor with the
better mindest will prevail over
the opponents with identical
training and preparation. And
the best mindset is one of happiness.
Shawn Achor’s The Happiness
Advantage: The Seven Principles
of Positive Psychology that
Fuel Success and Performance
at Work aggregates a plethora
of scholarly work and clinical
studies on happiness, and
the conclusion is clear - happy
people do better, are healthier,
and live longer. Achor came
from humble origins in Waco,
Texas and was accepted as a
freshman at Harvard, where he
spent the next 17 years doing
graduate work and teaching.
As a small town kid in the big
city, he was constantly amazed
at his good fortune to work
with the brightest researchers,
scientists and scientists in the
world. What perplexed him early
was how miserable so many
of his fellow students were,
they were constantly stressed
out and depressed (especially
the Law students) despite
having a world of opportunity
ahead at one of the premier
universities in the world. Achor
became a teaching fellow for
Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar for a new
course called Positive Psychology,
which saw over 1,200 students
enrolled in the first two
semesters.
USING HAPPINESS
TO HACK
PERFORMANCE
by Ed Maguire
What Achor found, in a meta
analysis of over 200 scientific
studies of over 275,000 people,
was that happiness leads to
success in nearly every domain

creativity, jobs and business. There’s scientific
evidence that when people are “primed” to
be in a happy state, evoking a positive emotion
before engaging in a task or activity, they
perform better. Positive emotions actually
broaden our scope of cognition and behavior
through a biological phenomenon. Positive
emotions flood our brains with dopamine and
serotonin, chemicals that not only make us
feel good, but dial up the learning centers of
our brains. This enables us to learn more, keep
information in the brain longer, retrieve it
faster, more neural connections and ultimately
think more quickly and creatively when
analyzing complex problems.
The key point is that it’s important to start
happy and the benefits will follow. How to
start happy? This may seem simple in theory,
but not everyone is born optimistic. Tragedy
and adversity can take a toll on happy people,
and everyone goes through up and down cycles
with partners, on the job and in life.
There are several ways to prime yourself to be
happy: Meditation is one of the most powerful
happiness interventions. Neuroscientists
have found that monks that spend years meditating
grow their left prefrontal cortex, the
part of the brain most responsible for feeling
happy. Finding something to look forward to
– when we have something to anticipate it
can fire up the pleasure centers of the brain.
Committing Conscious Acts of Kindness – acts
of altruism to friends and strangers alike has
been found to decrease stress and improve
mental health. This can be as simple as paying
for someone’s cup of coffee behind you in line
at Starbucks.
Fill your surroundings with positivity – pictures
of loved ones, favorite places, and decorations
can not only boost your mood but
improve working memory. It’s also important
to keep negative emotions away- turn off that
cable news station and watch less TV. Exercise
provides both physical and psychological
benefits that are incontrovertible.
Spending money on positive experiences can

also boost your mood. Go to a concert or a
play, take a short trip, go to dinner with friends
– these kinds of activities can bring more pleasure
than buying material things. Using your
personal strength, whatever it may be can
boost your mood. If you love needlepoint
(like legendary football player Rosie Greer),
or cooking, or memorizing baseball statistics,
exercising, this passion can help bring happiness.
There are a lot of ways we can prime ourselves
with happiness, and taking just 5 minutes
out of the day to boost our mood can
have broad-ranging effects. Martin Seligman,
considered to be the father of Positive Psychology,
defines three ways people can become
happy: through pleasure, through engagement
(with people or experiences) and
from meaning. Pleasure and engagement can
be fleeting, but useful as a way to prime our
performance. Meaning of course is the most
profound avenue to happiness – and is most
powerful. Austrian psychologist Viktor Frankl
wrote Man’s Search for Meaning in 9 days in
1945 upon being his liberation as a prisoner of
Auschwitz. In his experience suffering
through some of the most horrifying conditions
imaginable, he saw that happiness was
worthy as a pursuit, but those in the camp
that thought only of being happy were likely
to give up and most did not survive. Rather it
was those that found meaning, the desire to
reunite with loved one, to rebuild their homes
– to turn tragedy into triumph – that were able
to survive and prevail. When we find meaning
and purpose, and pursue them, happiness
follows, and when we start with a little bit of
happiness, we get smarter and healthier.

OF LOVE AND
SHADOWS
Isabel Allende
Simon & Schuster
This profoundly moving tale
of love, bravery, and tragedy
by New York Times bestselling
author Isabel Allende brings
to life a country ruled with an
iron fist—and the men and
women who dare to challenge
it.
Irene Beltrán is a force to be
reckoned with. As a magazine
journalist, an unusual profession
for a woman with her
privileged upbringing, she is
constantly challenging the
oppressive regime. Her investigative
partner is photographer
Francisco Leal, the son of
impoverished Spanish Marxist
émigrés. Together, they are an
inseparable team and—despite
Irene’s engagement to
an army captain—form a passionate
connection. When an
assignment leads them to uncover
an unspeakable crime,
they are determined to reveal
the truth in a nation overrun
by terror and violence. Together,
they will risk everything
for justice—and, ultimately,
to embrace the passion that
binds them.

Chile.

DIET, DIET, DIET!
In these next four weeks you’ll really want
to tighten up your diet. Stay away from
the junk food and think whole, rich foods.
Forget about snacking on popcorn at the
movies or grabbing a burger while on the
run. If you want a crunch factor while
you’re out and about, opt for carrots or
pickles.
You’ll want to watch your salt intake. Do
not add extra salt to your food because
we all know it will make you retain water.

Drink at least 3 liters of water every day.
You want to eat every 2-3 hours to keep
your insulin levels low and have your metabolism
working overtime. Whatever you
do, do not starve yourself! Think of it this
way: your body gets scared when it’s not
being fed so it keeps fat on reserve so that
it doesn’t go hungry. Our bodies are big
‘ol scary cats and want to be comforted at
all times.
To help you, here’s a diet plan you can stick
to:
BREAKFAST (Meal 1)
• 1 egg and 1/2 cup egg whites
• 1 packet organic plain oatmeal, add 10
blueberries
SNACK (Meal 2)
• Handful of raw nuts (unsalted)
LUNCH (Meal 3)
• 4 oz of protein (tilapia, cod, chicken, extra
lean turkey)
• 1 cup veggies/greens
SNACK (Meal 4)
• 4 oz of protein (tilapia, cod, chicken, extra
lean turkey)
• 1 small apple
DINNER (Meal 5 – post workout meal, immediately
after workout)
• 1 scoop of protein
• 1 small banana
SNACK (Meal 6)
• 4 oz of protein (tilapia, cod, chicken, extra
lean turkey or BISON)
• ½ - ¾ cup veggies
SNACK (Meal 7)
• Sugar-free popsicle – this is mostly to
help with cravings)
NOTE: If you get hungry, snack on cucumber
and deli turkey
Last helpful tip: For an added bonus and
to really tone up that booty, each and every
time you use the restroom (which will
be more than usual from all the water and
natural diuretics), do 25 squats. Oh yeah!
Feel the burn!

Festival
Fresh
Celebrity Makeup Artist, Jami Svay who
has worked with celebs that have included
Meghan Trainor, Julianne Moore and Freida
Pinto to name a few, gives Athleisure
Mag the scoop on how to look dewy fresh
as we head into Festival Season.
1. Keep your skin glistening use a tinted
moisturizer with SPF. This gives good coverage
& allows your skin to breath in the
heat. Try: Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer.
2. A lip & cheek tint is great to throw in
your bag & go. You can keep light & fresh
for day. Then add more color to go into the
night. Try: La Metier de Beaute lip/cheek
cream in Zinnia.
3. Keep dry shampoo on deck to keep that
tousled mane sexy & roots free from oil as
you dance the night away. Try: Amika Perk
Up Dry Shampoo.
4. Keep a travel sized makeup refresher
spray in your bag. The cooling mist feels
amazing & gives your makeup an extended
boost. Try: Avene Thermal Spring Water.
5. A good worry-free waterproof mascara!
Try: L’oreal Voluminous waterproof in Noir.
