We all need a go-to to make things easier throughout our day. As we’re in constant motion from one activity to the next, it’s great when our look can pull a bit of double duty! Each month, our beauty editorials show how you can recreate these looks from our team of MUA and hair-stylists that you should know about. This month, we’re focused on the braided updo which is truly versatile and can be worn when relaxing as well as for special occasions. Within the make-up look, the sun-kissed with a hint of pink hues is one that looks great on an array of skin tones. These essential looks allow you to transition from your studio fitness class to brunch and then the office to a night out! In a few steps, you can adjust between them as you see fit.
This tutorial includes tips from MUA Nydia Figueroa whose work has been seen on the run-ways of New York Fashion Week, Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Broadway charity events and published editorials. Dori Sligh created the hairstyles within this shoot. Her work has also been published within a number of editorials.
STUDIO LOOK (ABOVE): Hair by Dori
STEP 1: Prep the hair with Texture or Volumizing Spray. My favorite products are Kevin Murphy Anti Gravity and Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray. Once hair is prepped, it’s easy to control and style! STEP 2: Make a center part in the hair to create two sections and braid both down the sides of the head towards the back.
STEP 3: Bring the two braids to one side and pop it into an elastic band on the ends. This is an easy look that can be worn to workout and onto brunch right after, as the hair stays in place.

STUDIO LOOK: Makeup by Nydia
STEP1: I prep the skin with Kiehls Ultra Facial Moisturizer because I believe it helps reduce moisture loss without drawing and absorbing moisture from the air. STEP 2: Prime the skin with Laura Mercier Oil Free Primer to prepare the skin for foundation. Think of it as double stick tape; which locks moisture in underneath it and keeps the foundation flawless for a longer period of time on top.
STEP 3: I let the skincare sit as I start working the model’s eyes. I do this to let it absorb into the skin. I start with grooming her incredible eyebrows and use Shobha Brow Pencil in the color Earth. I used hair like strokes to achieve a more natural and consistent look throughout the brow. I love how the pencil is soft and has a sharpener for the finest point.
STEP 4: For the eyes, I did three different types of looks. I gradually added to each look so I can show how easy it is to take a natural look and transform it to a night time look with a few easy steps. For the Studio Look, I did a soft brown color in the crease and popped a center highlight to give a clean yet glowing look to the makeup. I applied a thin layer of liner on the top lash and applied mascara. I did not apply bottom eyeliner for this look.
STEP 5: I do the eyes first to then wipe off any fall out left under the eyes from the beautiful shadow looks we created. I used the Shobha Rosewater Freshening Cloths. I love it because it leaves the skin clean with no oily residue.
STEP 6: Now that we let the skincare set, it’s time for foundation and concealer. I used the EVE Pearl HD Dual Foundation and her Dual Salmon Concealer Treatment. It is amazing because it has skincare built into it. It was originally made for HD cameras and allows your skin to breathe while diminishing the look of imperfections! The Dual Salmon Concealer neutralizes dark circles and is

For the Office / Brunch look I added a slightly darker brown color in the outer third of the crease and took that same color down to the lash line. Using an angled brush I pressed the color half way from the corner of the lash line to just below the iris of the eyes to open them up a bit more.
For the night out look I used a fluffy brush and added a shimmery brown shade and to the inner and outer portions of her eyelids. I left the middle bare to then with a denser brush, added a highlighting color to her center of her eyes. I also added a highlight shade to the inner corner of her eyes.
For this look I chose a more dramatic eyeliner and filled in her waterline with a highly pigmented black eyeliner. I then used a pencil brush and using back and fourth sweeping movements, smoked out some of the brown shadow below her lashine. This created a sultry yet diffused drama effect to her eyes.
Step 5: We do the eyes first to then wipe off any fall out left under the eyes from the beautiful shadow looks we created. I used the Shobha Rosewater Freshing cloths ( 30.00 - Myshobha.com ) I love it because it leave the skin clean with no oily resi-due.
Step 6:
Now that we let the skin care set its now time for foundation and concealer. I used the EVE Pearl HD dual Foundation ( 56.00 - Evepearl.com )and her Dual Salmon Concealer Treatment ( 39.00 - Evepearl.com ) . It is amazing because it has skincare built into it.

even pigmented enough to cover tattoos.
STEP 7: Next, I set the makeup with Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder. It has a soft focus effect that creates smooth and silky texture to the skin. I also used a MAC Cosmetics Blush in “ Mocha” to add a touch of color to her cheeks.
STEP 8: For the Studio Look I pressed a soft neutral pink into her lips with my finger tips. I used MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in “ Vivaglam V” for a natural sheen.
BRUNCH LOOK (PREVIOUS PAGE): Makeup by Nydia
STEP 1: I kept the gym look and added a slightly darker brown color in the outer third of the crease and took that same color down to the lash line. Using an angled brush I pressed the color half way from the corner of the lash line to just below the iris of the eyes to open them up a bit more.
STEP 2: For the Brunch look I did a baby pink lip to give a pop of color that is wearable for everyday. MAC Patent Polish Lip Pencil in “ Kittenish”.

The makeup in this look carries over from brunch to the office. It is then built upon again for the final look.
OFFICE LOOK (ABOVE): Hair by Dori
STEP 1: Hair is prepped with texture spray or volumizing spray.
STEP 2: Starting side part in front and continue the part diagonally into two sections. STEP 3: Braid both sections down to back and put elastic on the ends.
STEP 4: Pull out little pieces of hair around ear, these wispies will soften the look.
STEP 5: Adjust the fluffiness of the braids and finally pop some bobby pins in to make the braids into a cute bun!
NOTE: Braid them tight first then make it loose for long lasting result. Totally appropriate for the office and night out! An added benefit of this look is that the braids worn here provide nice waves for the next day!

STEP 3: For the night out look I left the Kittenish color on and added a deep berry gloss to dress it up a bit. I used Kiko Cosmetics 3D Instant Volume Lip Gloss in the shade “214 Mauve”.

From Set to Vanity
Today, beauty brands look to dominate shelves with large quantities of product offerings. Koh Gen Do is a high definition skincare and cosmetic line that innovates their original collec-tion like a craftsman.
The brand’s commitment can be traced back to the role technolo-gy has played in its formulation. In the mid/late 80s, the HD cam-era lens was in use at the biggest broadcasting network in Japan - NHK.
This is when their first iconic red tubed Moisture Foundation was created with mineral powders using the advanced powder technology in Japan. Natural botanicals supported the foun-dation, by mimicking the look of ‘skin’ even with the use of HD lenses. Technology and experi-ence in how products and ingre-dients ‘fit’ into the skin is vitally important and this cannot be done with tech alone.
Koh Gen Do is used on Empire, Scandal and Better Call SaulBorn and tested by the film in-dustry since 1986 as the found-er was an actress, the products have continuously been guided

The Cleansing Cream is a deep pore cream cleanser to use af-ter makeup is removed with the Cleansing Water Makeup Re-mover. This is the double cleans-ing method where you work the cream into your skin until it melts into a thin layer of oil. At this point you will know that the product has worked through your horny layer and softened the skin. Softening the skin is im-portant as this allows the prod-ucts that follow to be absorbed better into your skin.
Remove dead skin cells (and patches) without any abrasives with Soft Gommage Gel. Lotion I or II – hydrates skin cells! They hydrate the skin with nutritious skin balancing botanicals. It also calms and lowers skin tempera-ture. After the lotion a moistur-izer to protect the hydration of skin is a must.

Whether you work for yourself or some-one else, lunch time is always a great break. It’s the chance to take care of a few errands, grab a bite and to give yourself the proper distance in order to power through the rest of the day.
Even with colder (or cooler for certain areas) temperatures, the ability to pop out is always a welcome respite between meetings and conference calls. When working, soft layers allow you to move with little restriction. Be sure to appreci-ate nature and the people around you.
The Athleisurist knows that this look also works if you have things to do prior to heading home. A pair of heels, a fitted jean and cashmere is an essential to add to your look as it’s truly a versatile option that lends itself to wearing no matter where you find yourself.

SUPER BOWL STYLEThe Countdown is On
Jamie Chung (32 year old actress in ABC’s Once Upon a Time and star of Big Hero 6) not only has a great sense of style when it comes to rocking the red carpet but also when she’s hanging out. This can be seen on her person-al style blog and Instagram ac-count, What the Chung?
The San Francisco native stays true to her 49ers as a spokesper-son for NFL Women’s Apparel by blending her casual and athletic side. Whoever you cheer for on game day, Jamie gives Athlei-sure Mag a few tips (below) on how you can be in style for the remainder of the football season.
KEEP IT SIMPLE + PAINT FREE
Jamie’s look on gameday is a San Francisco 49ers NFL Jersey, a cap and boyfriend jeans which keeps her look easy. With this simple look, she reminds us that we can, “skip the face paint!” There are many ways to wear NFL apparel to rep your team.
MIND YOUR RIVALS
Whether you’re a longtime fan or have opted to adopt a team to cheer for, Jamie reminds us to, “avoid wearing rival team colors.” Especially if you’re attending a game at the stadium or a bar.
BE RELAXED As we get to the end of the sea-son with Playoffs and the Super Bowl looming ahead, football is all about enjoying great people, food and of course the game! She believes in being comfort-able as she muses that she is the one that is always, “chowing on wings” during the game.

An Athleisurist knows that style is all about keeping it easy and versatile. This month, our radar is abuzz with layering tonal neutrals with pops of cool tones.

Dr Sadio: Sub Rosa AestheticsCustomization, personalization, baselines and “less is more” are just some of the key-words that plastic surgeon Dr Sadio uses to help women avoid surgery with her powers to help women.
Bespoke Beauty
We all have beauty services that we do with a set per-son who does our gel manis, eyebrow threading etc. It’s a trusted relationship where you feel that you can get what you need while being confident in placing yourself in the hands of a profession-al. After sitting with Dr Soni-ta Sadio at an event held at her West Village practice and again for our one on one in-terview, we love the focus and service provided at Sub Rosa Aesthetics!
Talking with Dr Sadio is like speaking with a girlfriend that you have known for years. She talks with you about life, how your day is and when the topic of beauty and spe-cifically what you want to do
to ensure that your ageless beauty needs are met, you find that she looks to cre-ate the best look possible to avoid surgery. This fact is im-portant to note as Dr Sadio is a plastic surgeon and fo-cused on aesthetic surgery in her studies!
While you marinate on that fact, let’s talk about her mem-ber only practice. Her clients are those that start early to avoid doing more later in life for their skincare needs. They are not looking to appear “done” and are not interested in invasive procedures.
Prior to becoming a member, there is a consultation which includes an intake question-naire, past medical history
- 41 -2016. January www.athleisuremag.com
including surgeries and pho-tos are taken. Goals are dis-cussed and more important-ly, a baseline is established. This is a question which allows the patient to share when they felt they looked their best. This moment in time assists Dr Sadio with how her client wants to look.
Products that are currently used are reviewed. If both are comfortable with one another, membership would be approved and goals are set within a routine to get her to where she would like to be. During this time, Dr Sadio looks for products (not products created by her) that assist the goals outlined which include items the cli-ent already uses, those that are available at your favorite department store counters, Duane Reade etc. In addition, nutrients that she believes should be within our skin-care she creates with a phar-macologist that are made for the client specifically.
Clients leave understanding
the science, being able to work together to build their plan and having a routine that could include the first six months focusing on the re-set or corrective process, and then the timeline of check ups is based on the individu-al needs.
Ageing graciously is about making good choices as being done is the new old. When she is working on someone’s face to ensure that their baseline is met, she offers a pro tip - when man-aging your skincare the face as well as the hands and neck need to be maintained. A face that looks youthful but hands and neck that look like they belong to someone old-er is a tell tale sign that work has been “done” (and in one area only).
Dr Sadio spent a decade at some of the world’s finest schools - Harvard Medical School, The Mayo Clinic and Yale College. As a medical student at Georgetown Uni-versity she was inducted into
the Alpha Omega Alpha hon-or society for academic excel-lence and won the school’s award for Leadership & Com-passion.
The practice began to be-come a vision during her aesthetic surgery fellowship training in Manhattan. Af-ter performing a facelift, she looked through images of her thirty and forty-some-thing botox and filler pa-tients. She realized that her minimally invasive approach had the power to make a woman continue to look on the outside as she feels on the inside -- energetic, hap-py, beloved - but without sur-gery.
Even those who are not members of her practice can hear her thoughts on an ar-ray of beauty topics on skin-care management via her YouTube channel.

Nutrients on the GoA powerful component of balance pre- and post workout is ensuring that your body is getting essential nutrients that it needs. Pressed juices and cleanses are all the rage as we look for ways to auto-mate better health. Celebrity Nutrition-ist, Kimberly Snyder has hand selected an array of vitamins and other power foods within Glow Bio that is located in LA but ships nationwide.
Kimberly’s approach to this process is to cleanse while adding nutritional value with Glow Bio’s one of a kind cleanses. Not only does it maximize the experi-ence by eliminating toxins, but it main-tains blood sugar levels via strategically placed fiber! The goal in this process is not to starve the body (which is the first thought that comes to mind when
embarking on journeys of this nature). The true purpose is to rebuild the di-gestive system while ensuring that the results are sustainable to keep you on track.
You can select whether your cleanse will be 1 to 5 days (once again images of other cleanses that last for weeks on end come to mind). Whatever the choice, the primary goal is to have renewed energy, a toned body and of course great look-ing skin from the inside out.
Visit the shop (or online) for the full line of cleanses and cold pressed juices at Glow Bio. It is located in LA 7473 Mel-rose Ave. (Cross Gardner) Los Angeles, CA 90046.

to day interaction.
Enter Breathe Easy Spa’s three treatments which includie their salt room, salt chamber and salty yoga located within Oasis Day Spa. They provide options for a total revival treatment with your lungs in mind. Time spent here allows your lungs to get the TLC it needs to keep you at your best.
The lungs are an interesting or-gan as it is made up of delicate tissue; however, they are in con-stant contact with an environ-ment of toxic fumes which can lead to lung cancer which affects both men and women globally.
The Salt Room is optimal for lung and skin clearing benefits. Within this space are six recliners where guests can relax for 45 minutes. Throughout the treatment, ha-logenators pump microparticles of salt air. This is believed to as-sist with positive benefits such as improving the breath, stress and sleeping. As this therapy is enjoyed, sock covered feet are placed within pink Himalayan rock salt
Another treatment you can se-lect, is their salt chamber which is a rising trend. This session takes place in a full body size container and lasts for 20 minutes.
Salty yoga combines the mind, body and breath to truly take in the process. As the guest par-takes in the movements, they engage in deep breathing tech-niques which helps to reduce the energy that this action takes. This ultimately decreases the ox-ygen demand and strengthens the diagram. It’s a bit of a respite from having to work so hard.
inhale a staggering 25,000 times a day! In a span of a year, that’s nine million breaths!!!
When was the last time that you did something that allowed your respiratory system to get a break? Our lungs are put through the paces of floating bacteria, gases, viruses and a number of other elements that are within our day
When it comes to doing right by our bodies, we think about eat-ing right, staying hydrated, work-ing out and so much more. But Athleisurists are aware that we are always looking for the best way to enjoy and optimize our lives. In the midst of all the activ-ities that we do daily from work time to leisure, do you know how many breaths we take? On

STUDIO THREEATHLEISURE LIST: Chicago
The allure of boutique studio fitness gyms is primarily be-cause of the focus of various methods within the commu-nity that the creators gener-ate. When the privately held group, BlitzLake opened Studio Three in Chicago’s River North Neighborhood, it was the cul-mination of peeling the layers behind a number of fitness centers across the country to unveil a niche that had yet to be exposed.
In late fall 2015, the first of it’s kind (having these disciplines under one roof), Studio Three has 16,000 square feet featur-ing Peloton® Indoor Cycling, Interval Training and Yoga on three separate, synergized levels, all under one roof. In addition, the group selected instructors that are leaders in their industry with elite fitness backgrounds to create class-es that are complimentary for maximum results across disci-plines.

BRING IT ONRenewable energy visionary talks studio life, 3 feet from gold, Weirdo Fit-ness and the air we breathe.
Interview with Alex Lightman
Renewable energy visionary, Alex Lightman is a member of Orange Theory Fitness SaMo and won the studio’s first weight loss challenge.
- 57 -2016. January www.athleisuremag.com
KNOW THYSELF/WIN TOGETER
Pop into Orange Theory Fitness, Santa Monica (SaMo) and you’re likely to catch renewable en-ergy visionary, Alex Lightman. Whether he is pushing hard in class or rooting on another member, he is passionately de-voted to his fitness success and seeing major results from his dedication.
He used to frequent gyms over the years, then found studio life. Like many, he was tired of rote exercising; seeing flirtatious be-haviour and talking (all while waiting for machines); and train-er solicitation. He is now loving that classes are an intense hour of focus (and doubles) never the same, breaking the monotony, which builds class camaraderie and heightens muscle confu-sion.
Since he transitioned into OT, he is at his best mile time since high
school (38 years later) and won the studio’s first weight loss challenge with seven day workouts and being mindful of his diet.
Being connected by studio monitors means knowing more about himself and his perfor-mance at a granular level. He stays in the zone by racking up 12 to 20 spot points of orange (84-91) and red (92+) during workouts and enjoys extreme afterburn well into his day. He has run 16 marathons to date and proudly has a resting heart rate of 32, mile PR of 4:20, most recent a 5:21.
The relationship between him and his workout continues as he receives an email from each workout, which he shares with his friend to help reach person-al and group goals. Ultimately, it is a great way to feel welcome and noticed for his efforts.
3 FEET FROM GOLD
Alex likened the Quantified Self Movement to the story of R.U. Darby and his uncle as profiled in Think and Grow Rich. They discovered gold ore in Colorado and rented mining machinery to reap big rewards. After a time, the gold disappeared, they grew into debt and eventually quit. They sold the equipment to a junk man who hired an expert and continued the project and made millions finding gold just three feet from where the Dar-by’s had stopped.
“If you only knew how close you were from striking gold, you would be mindful of find-ing a way to push through,” Alex says. ”In connected fitness, your ceiling remarkably can become your floor after discovering what your next levels are.”
His mother taught him at an ear-ly age to be independent, focus on what matters, be adaptable, and that completions empower.
Alex loves the healthy co-ope-tition against other class mem-bers during performance weeks, finding it fun to try to beat other five minute milers. (#ICYMI his xbox handle is @FiveMinuteMil-er). He also likes helping oth-er people meet their goals. He lost a weight loss challenge to friend Eddy Waty, and doubled his friendly wager to run a 5:45 and beat her, doing so by four seconds. Alex loves sharing his times with her and they become more obligated, having shared success they wouldn’t have known. The positive effect of having a gym buddy that push-es you to be your best is an es-sential for acountability as well as keeping great energy.
- 58 -2016. January www.athleisuremag.com
He firmly believes in public fitness. You’ll see him doing squats on an airplane during busi-ness flights for keynotes or spontaneously stretching during a restaurant meal to reduce hip tightness. He’d love to see more public yoga and activities, noting we are regrettably only desensitized to runners and joggers.
DO NEW THINGS OFTEN
“Fall on your butt often,” he jokes. He is quick to advocate the benefits of neurogenic ac-tivity both with touch (and yes intimacy) and trying out new activities. By going out and falling a bit during dozens of new exer-cise and sports activities, the brain is opti-mized during steps of learning during three week stints, building and firing brain cells in conscious incompetance and concious competance stages before an unconcious competance stage sets in. “Be sure to run 45 minutes with 75% maximum heart rate for men and 65% for women and learn some-thing new within 21 days,” he reminds. Alex
The next OT SaMo contest is mid-January, Alex will be there. He needed to run 6 miles a day until NYE to meet his personal 1000 mile annual goal. He accomplished that goal, running the last miles on New Year’s Eve. He now pledges to increase his num-bers for next year. We willroot on his suc-cess like a virtual marathon crowd.
WEIRDO FITNESS
Lightman proudly proclaims that people should live authentic lives and do what’s good for them regardless of arbitrary social norms. Just as we shift extreme tempera-ture shocks in fitness, he advocates using hypergravity and compression. He wears a custom gravity plus super suit with about 35/40 lbs with Wenderwear compression for more resistance. Unlike a weight vest or compression socks, this evenly distributes burn and endorphin bliss after jumping out of it, giving feelings of extra lightness of being.

attempts to do this at least 20x a month as new brain cells are cre-ated this way!
FOOD WE EAT, AIR WE BREATHE
“How you do anything is how you do every-thing” is how Lightman sees Athleisure Life-style. Athletics and lei-sure affect one another.He’s picked up on the fact that Simon & Gar-funkel were truly ahead by being looped into Neurogenesis decades ago with parsely, sage and thyme in their lyr-ics. We should embrace foods that build us up
like macro and micro nutrients, and those that offer more protein and fat such as akito-genic diet with avaco-dos, coconuts, olives and olive oil, he sug-gests.
Near his pier on the SaMo promenade,an abundance of su-perpower food estab-lishments surround him. He regularly pa-trons Lemonade, for their fresh and colorful vegetables, and adores SweetGreen (we love them too), specifically due to its farm to table chalkboard and tea bar ride with no calorie and
vegetable infused teas, with his organ-ic salads. He also ex-plores the local farm-ers markets twice a week.
He accurately ques-tions why runners would (or anyone that is focused on well-ness) want to live in a polluted world and cares deeply about the air around us. Alex is a strong advocate of solar and electric cars. He wants to rid the world of fossil fuels, he champions our society needs to keep grow-ing solar at 36% a yearand looks to Burling-
ton, VA; Greenburg Kansas; and Aspen, Colorado as pioneering cities for renewable en-ergy.
We are honored to have Alex Lightman as on ongoing contributor so you can look forward to reading an array of wis-dom monthly.

We live in a world where the clock moves faster and faster but the demands on our time seem to only increase. At one time, people could point to one of a couple of spheres - the workplace and home as the sources of where hours es-caped them. But today we are split be-tween numerous zones, from spending time with friends and family, to meeting the needs of our jobs, club activities and more. With the added ability to be con-nected 24/7 across a number of apps, platforms and newtorks, we’re perpetu-ally “on” and the need to prioritize, fil-ter, and cut through the noise (wheth-er positive or negative) has never been greater. It’s not such a simple thing re-gardless of our age group.
There is a need to be able to escape momentarily, to be present and check in with ourselves. We should appreci-ate, be thankful and grow. Whether it’s going for a jog, going on a solo date (literally you at a table treating yourself to a glass of wine) or sitting and people watching – we need that time to think and reflect. In those moments, whether it’s five minutes or a few hours, you can begin to think about where you are and how you see yourself. Are you where you want to be, what can you do to put yourself in a better situation and what do you need are great starter questions. Beyond thinking about advancement in your career, it’s a good time to ask if you are being physically and mental-ly nourished as the vessel that is going from one activity to the next. Are you feeding your creative side, did you get to tick anything off of your bucket list last year – do you want to do something that is so uncharacteristic of yourself but it nags you that you haven’t tried?
With so many questions, personal needs, as well as wanting to be involved within the community around you, we at Athleisure Mag began putting to-gether the genesis of what this lifestyle meant and those that embrace it, Ath-leisurists. Beyond the fashion statement of Athleisure which allows you to wear
looks that are appropriate for the gym, but then work with you through your day whether you’re in a meeting, going out for drinks etc – it’s a state of mind. It includes working out to whatever lev-el you wish to do, enjoying great super foods pre-workout, farm to table op-tions or splurge meals. It’s being able to balance working hard in your career, having great experiences, taking care of yourself mind – body and soul and be-ing present in your personal, family and friend’s lives. It’s a juggling act and you need to feel that they are choices that you actively made on your own terms.
We sum this notion up with “Balance Next”, meaning so much to so many people. For us it’s about enjoying what life has to offer, not taking things too seriously and looking at the horizon ahead. We’re at peace with where we are living in a place of yes, seeing if situ-ations present as a good fit. But like you, we know that this is not always an easy task and sometimes we need a refresh-er.
This time of year lends itself to the mass need to create resolutions. Many end up falling in a gray area because few at-tribute benchmarks to fulfill their com-mitments. While the New Year is a great place to start, everyday is a potential op-portunity to begin reinventing yourself. We believe (as you will see in this is-sue), this takes extended effort and our thought leader interviews, tips, editori-als will be along with you for your jour-ney to enjoy and optimize.
To facilitate the process for your growth towards the new you, we reached out to Joyce Marter, psychotherapist and CEO of Urban Balance. She shared tips that we can kick off the New Year or any point in time when you need to look within to see where you want to go next.

AM: What does the New Year mean to you in terms of starting off on the right foot?
Joyce Marter: The New Year is a time of renewal---shedding old patterns and behaviors that no longer work for you and allowing new, positive energy into your life.
AM: What does the New Year mean when it comes to having that mindset throughout the entire year?
JM: The New Year is a great time to re-visit your intentions---the ways you live your life that are congruent with your authentic self. Write your intentions in your journal and review them before you daily meditation to stay the course towards self-actualization.
AM: What does Balance Next, a mantra of ours, which can have many meanings, mean to you?
JM: In a world that is ever-changing, we experience stressors continually which cause of to need to recalibrate or rebal-ance. A daily practice of meditation or reflection helps us to become bendable and flexible and become aligned with the natural flow of life.
AM: What is the best way that one can prepare as they’re in their first week of the New Year?
JM: Creating a vision board is a power-ful exercise to increase clarity on that which you want to welcome into your life, whether that be love, health, pros-perity, serenity, etc.
AM: How can we prepare from a mind/body/soul perspective?
JM: Mindfulness practices such as med-itation and yoga can reboot the mind/body/spirit.
AM: What roles can positive pro-
ductivity, music therapy, meditation etc play within proper balance?
JM: These self-care practices can be enormously effective in creating a life of balance and wellness.
AM: How can we set realistic goals and benchmarks that are healthy while chal-lenging ourselves in a positive way?
JM: Be your own good parent. Love and care for yourself as you would for some-body that you love more than anybody in the whole world. Choose to be your own cheerleader or positive coach. Keep your self-talk positive and compassion-ate. Surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you and celebrate your successes. Your personal board of advisors can support you in becoming your best self.
AM: How can we create boundaries when we live in a world of wanting to help others, excel in work, having fun with friends, establishing personal time etc?
JM: We simply must prioritize our own self care. If we do not properly care for ourselves, we will become exhausted, depleted and resentful. When we take the time and energy to put ourselves first, we have more to give others both personally and professionally. You must develop rituals and routines, such as dai-ly meditation, proper rest and nutrition and exercise.
AM: How can we treat ourselves men-tally whether we have 5 mins or a week-end for just ourselves?
JM: In a moment of quiet reflection, breathe deeply and check in with your solar plexus (your gut) and ask your-self what you really need. It might be a good laugh with a friend, a hot bath, a silly movie and go ahead and treat your-self to those things that fill your cup.

KARA ROSSWhen it comes to accessory designers that know how to make a statement, Kara Ross is one of those talented women we’ve admired for years. With her recently launched venture, DIAMONDS UNLEASHED, we took a moment to find out more about this line that is not only an accessory but an empowering movement.
Athleisure Mag: What is DIAMONDS UNLEASHED and how did you come up with this?
Kara Ross: DIAMONDS UNLEASHED is a brand with a social purpose that symbolizes, promotes and supports women’s empowerment. Brought to life through a collection of products, a network of influential ambassadors, and a platform of compel-ling content, DIAMONDS UNLEASHED celebrates that women, like diamonds, are brilliant, multi-fac-eted and unbreakable.
After an extensive education and career in fine jewelry I found myself resetting my own diamond engagement ring. As I worked, I wondered why, with all of the change women’s empowerment has seen in today’s society, do diamonds still have such an antiquated meaning? With the connections I had already built in my jewelry career, I made it my mission to create a brand that surrounds and sup-ports a cause which I strongly believe in - women’s empowerment.
AM: How important is DIAMONDS UNLEASHED?
KR: It’s really everything. I completely closed my fine jewelry and handbag wholesale business to focus solely on the DIAMONDS UNLEASHED movement. At this stage in my life I want to give back and I believe that by creating a business that
supports organizations that empower and edu-cate girls will help make posivite change because you give a girl an education it not only gives her opportunity, it gives opportunity to her family and strengthens the whole community.
AM: What is Stilettos on the Ground?
KR: Stilettos on the Ground are what we call our network of ambassadors who are supporting us and helping us spread our message. These am-bassadors are the living, breathing embodiment of DIAMONDS UNLEASHED. They agree to give us a statement about what their Diamond means to them, photos, and a commitment to share our messages via their platforms. Many ambassadors become more actively engaged, speaking at our events, creating opportunities to showcase our mutual commitment to women’s empowerment (for example, co-hosting salons) and providing advisory services.
- 71 -2016. January www.athleisuremag.com
- 72 -2016. January www.athleisuremag.com
AM: What do you mean by unleashing the dia-mond? KR: It’s about disruption. Diamonds are probably the only item that women shy away from buying themselves. DIAMONDS UNLEASHED is about looking at a diamond, the hardest most beauti-ful substance on earth, and having that symbol-ize women’s strength. My mission is to engineer a great rethink about how diamonds are bought, given and perceived and then to use that shift as a platform to address issues that enable women to achieve their potential. AM: Why did you partner with CanadaMark™ Di-amonds? KR: We partnered with CanadaMark™ to ensure that each diamond comes directly from Domin-ion’s share of production from either the Ekati or Diavik diamond mines. Dominion is Canada’s larg-est independent diamond producer and the third largest diamond producer globally by value. Can-adaMark™ is committed to promoting a safe and healthy workplace, protecting the environment, developing local communities and delivering a high quality product. AM: What was your decision behind the brand being accessible and available at Neiman Marcus and HSN?
KR: We wanted the DIAMONDS UNLEASHED col-lection to be available at a variety of price points and have something for everyone. This is an in-clusive movement reaching all age demograph-ics and different income levels. Each of our retail partners are “best in class” for their category, offer-ing different income levels as well as providing a unique perspective for the collection and an exist-ing core customer for us to reach.
AM: How do you juggle your time between the Kara Ross brand and DIAMONDS UNLEASHED?
KR: I completely closed my fine jewelry and hand-bag wholesale business to focus solely on the DI-AMONDS UNLEASHED movement. This is such a big undertaking and with a small team and myself,
we need to focus just on one thing. AM: What are your 3 favorite pieces from your Di-amonds Unleashed collection? KR: Three is so few to choose! I love the dia-mond and key necklace from that collection. Our #ShesBrilliant Collection for Neiman Marcus will be available in May and there are so many beau-tiful pieces. I love the section necklace which has three sections of the DIAMONDS UNLEASHED symbol back to back with pave set diamonds and the ear cuffs that feature the diamond encrusted symbol climbing up the ear. AM: With the success of your brand how do you achieve balance and stay connected/present? KR: I try to get a little exercise everyday, and on others a lot of exercise. I also take time for my-self where I really can “check out” and recharge – I do that by reading and also watching films. I also spend time with my family everyday and put away the devices so I can really focus on them without interruption.
AM: How do you prepare for the new year person-ally, as a brand as well as igniting women’s em-powerment?
KR: Myself and our entire team have taken a few weeks to work remotely and spend time with friends and family. I think it’s helping us recharge after such a busy Fall with the official launch of the brand and our premiere with HSN. I have a lot of fresh ideas and am more energized than ever about what we’re doing. We’ve had some time to reflect on what we accomplished this year and plan for the new collections and projects coming in 2016. I think it’s important to have some down-time, it allows for creative ideas to flow.
AM: What does Balance Next (a mantra for us) mean to you?
KR: To me it’s all about balance in life. To be my best self in my career, I also need to take care of myself by exercising, eating healthy, doing things I enjoy outside of work and most important to me
- 73 -2016. January www.athleisuremag.com
spending time with my husband, daughters and extended family.
AM: What are your 3 must do’s in your personal time (ie favorite studio fitness, brunch spot, etc)? KR: Exercise – my 3 favorite studios are Soul-Cycle, Physique57 and Exhale. I am not a foodie, but when I am home, I love Landmarc in the Time Warner Center for breakfast. Read – I love losing myself in a great book.
AM: Athleisure is about comfortable clothes that can transition from the gym, to brunch, meetings and a night out or jetsetting - what are 3 favorite pieces that are great within your athleisure look? KR: I am in love with the Bandier Fitness line, Jen-nifer is a friend and also a DIAMONDS UNLEASHED “Stiletto on the Ground”. I love her airbrushed leg-gings and hooded wrap with a simple tank under-neath – great weekend wear for me!

HomemadeFood and mobile come together with a wide selection of menus, getting to know your chef and never missing a beat.
In the bustling city that never sleeps, many New Yorkers remarkably eat food quickly on the go and remain largely un-familiar with their chefs and neighbors.
Homemade is a NYC startup well under-way toward changing that. With a tasty selection of eats and strong communi-ty focus to connect cooks and people through an array of fresh food experienc-es - they are changing the face of the task of ordering out.
Like a modern digital bake sale, Home-made boasts 60 cooks offering over 350+ tasty meals, made by professional chefs, entrepreneurs, food bloggers and seri-ously passionate hobbyists. There is an array of healthy, ethnic, munchies, and specialty foods choices, including a va-riety of vegan and gluten-free food op-tions.
NYC’s Foodie Revolution!
Homemade’s intuitive mobile app relies on search and customer reviews to dis-cover new cooks and meal choices. Eat-ers make recommendations for chefs to tweak their recipes with detailed feed-back. Both sides continue to build trust and professionalism, as well as socialize toward friendship as well.
The idea came from founder Nick Devane enjoying his grandmother’s chocolatefrosted cake and wanting to spread the joy of home-cooked meals between the cook and diner. This new addition to the alternative food scene came as an exten-sion of grandmotherly visceral connec-tion of specialty, pride and family and has now scaled to a system of steady doses of shoppable food.

There are some peo-ple that inspire and it has nothing to do with their path in life but the way that they go about just getting it done. The method to their mad-ness and how they ap-ply it to all facets in their life are great takeaways for how you can do the same.
As a health guru, Jillian Michaels never stops and knows how to stay focused on her goals. This Terminator that we love can motivate masses of people to stay on the path of eat-ing right and exercising, while she continues to embrace opportunities that come her way.
The Celebrity Trainer, author, TV personality, fitness designer, consul-tant, mother of two and partner to Heidi Rhoad-es is a powerhouse as a brand and individual. She pushes her bound-aries means through hard work and keeping it real. With each lane that she takes on, we get the opportunity to learn more about her insatiable drive as well as the woman behind the system.
Later this month, the E!
series Just Jillian, gives access to the driven (this we know) and soft-er side of Jillian through her home life, appear-ances, adding more lay-ers to her dynasty. It’s the inner workings of the woman who essen-tially works every day to figure it out through the day to day and chal-lenging parts of life. At the end of the day, it’s about making it hap-pen and staying even keel in the process.
Jillian is certainly no stranger to reality TV by any means as we all know her from NBC’s Biggest Loser and last fall, she was the co-host of Spike TV’s Sweat Inc which was a Shark Tank for those creating fit-ness systems/methods.In this show, she chal-lenged, motivated and questioned participants on what they created and how it was applica-ble within studio fitness systems. In addition, she personally worked out each method pro-viding ample feedback.
She took this same ap-proach when she col-laborated with Kmart on her fitness line, Im-pact by JIllian Michaels. This came out of a need

Her secret weapon in her gym bag? Spearmint Oil which can be placed on the wrists. When you sniff it, it helps improve her workout.
She loves to wear vintage such as concert muscle T-shirts from the70s as well as 30s motorcyclejackets!

As we continue to challenge ourselves in all things, we must be mindful of balance. We got an earful and learned a thing or three when we chatted with Jillian Michaels to be properly motivated.

The decision to work out and to stick with it is one of many steps that you’ll take on the road to fitness. But there are so many options out there and many are fads within dieting as well as fit-ness trends. We had to ask what she thinks about this. “Fads are considered fads for a reason - they go out of style just as quick-ly as they came in.” By trying all of these options, it can be really confusing and can cause your body to get off track!
Jillian keeps it real. “I’m old school in the sense that hard work - reg-ular strong interval training, eat-ing right, tracking everything you put in your mouth and burn-ing more calories than you con-sume - is the key to losing weight and getting fit”. As a side note when it comes to weight loss and eating, she is a less is more kind of girl. Her 80/20 rule fo-cuses on eating healthier foods 80% of the time and having treat foods at 20%. In addition, “avoid fake foods and chemicals” when you can.
Jillian is focused on the whole body, she reminds us that we should build a better life overall and not just a better body. It is important to have good health as well as to connect and culti-vate your passions.
to have an athletic line that she notes as “progressive and cool” while being accessible to the masses. In true Jillian style, she shared that it had to be func-tional and performance driven with fun style. In addition, true to her brand she stands behind the fact that it can be worn multiple times without falling apart, is at a moderate price point and every item is wear-tested by her.
We know that all of this is merely a drop in the bucket within the world of Jillian Michaels in terms of her day to day. The Athleisure Mag team will definitely set our DVRs to check out the golden nuggets of truth on her show as she’s a straight shooter.
But what can we do right now to be healthy, crush our responsibil-ities and find time for a friends, family and ourselves.
2016 is a blank canvas to our health vision and she gave Ath-leisure Mag her no nonsense an-swers to eliminate any excuses that you may attempt to utter when you need a little encour-agement.
With the New Year comes the commitment of many who are ready to get fit (seriously); how-ever, some lose their way. Jillian
explains that she has, “heard ev-ery excuse in the book for why people can’t make the time to work out or completely fall off-track”.
“There are few things you can do to ensure you don’t lose fo-cus. First off, set a specific, real-istic goal. It can’t be ‘ I want to lose weight,’ “ she says. Make the reason, I want to get into a dress or get in shape for a vacation. This goal is achievable as it is an-chored into an experience that you want o be in. “Once you have that, make sure to write it down in places that you will see it and for an added dose of account-ability”, she suggests “to place it on Facebook”. We all know that once you post, it’s officially a thing and you’d be surprised at the amount of motivation that you will receive from those with-in your network.
With the initial motivation set, the fitness guru has an interest-ing piece of advice, “don’t let one slip up completely derail you. It’s OKAY to miss a workout, we all get off track some times — just make sure you find your focus the next day”. Coming from her, it’s easy to see that she un-derstand that no one is perfect; however, we have to get back up if we are truly committed.

Maybe Not Colleen Hoover
At one point in time, everyone has had a roommate experience or two. The very idea of this subject generates an array of stories that could make you laugh, cry or stay confuzzled.
New York Times best selling author (fresh off Maybe Someday) Col-leen Hoover brings the story of Warren to life when he not only gets a roommate but one that is female! He’s excited about the opp;ortuni-ties that could come from this pairing - or maybe not.
His roommate Bridgette is not the warmest per-son and at times seems to be calculating. The tension that erupts be-tween the two results into tempers that don’t allow them to be with-in the same room. As uncomfortable as his living situation has be-come, Warren begins to
think that anyone who has such a focus on hating everything could have the ability to love. Could all this hate transition into passionate love?
Even after enduring such strains, Warren decides to take on the ultimate challenge with Bridgette and decides he will personally test his theory. As curious as it sounds, he takes it upon himself to not only have her warm up to him but to learn the power of love.
Maybe.
Maybe Not.

Life is what you make of it and when this Gats-by-esque International Bestseller tells the story of Elite Manhattan crim-inal defense attorney, Sam Tahar has a life that looks great on paper. From good looks, the perfect family (include a wife from a promi-nent family) and well deserved prestige. In all accounts, his life is the perfect story.
But this picture book lifestyle is not what it seems as Sam Tahar grew up as Samir Tahar. He grew up in a poor Muslim family in a grit-ty Paris apartment. By
all accounts, his life was a social jail and one day he decided that he re-fused to be imprisoned in a life that was not his destiny.
All his success sits on a lie and intricate love triangle that took place years ago during his law school days. Ultimately, his decision brought hijm to America with a new identiy and life. Decades later, the love triangle resurfaces and forces Sam (Samir), his former friend Samuel Baron and Nina collide to deal with the issue of becoming someone else.

Our DVR works overtime with so many great shows. Every now and then a season escapes us or maybe we have to relive the shenanigans due to a long flight. Season 4 of FOX’s hit TV show, New Girl makes its way to Netflix with our favorite roommates. With 22 episodes and guest appearances by Jes-sica Biel, Reid Scott, Kaitlin Olson, Lisa Bonet and Regis Philbin to name a few, it’s a great way to catch up before returning to Season 5.

Many have experienced mild (and surprisingly warm) tem-partures over the winter holidays, January tends to be quite chilly. In addition to staying warm. it’s about protecting your skin - face, body and armpits too! Dermatoligist and Dove Deodorant Spokesperon, Dr Alicia Barba shares how skin can stay nourished this season..
ATHLEISURE MAG: How do we care for skin with temperatures and wind chill that can cause damaging effects?
DR ALICIA BARBA: There are a lot of factors that affect your skin in the winter months, especially in colder climates, that lead to dry skin. Everything from the wind to heating systems to low humidity can wreak havoc on healthy, glowing skin. To defend against the elements, it’s important to wear soft, natural clothing fibers such as cotton, as well as outerwear such as hats, scarves and gloves that will act as your first line of protec-tion, and recognize that moisturizer will be a key element in protecting your skin.
AM: How can we maintain moisture within our face, body and underarms?
DR B: Never be exclusionary with your skin care routine, and that means paying atten-tion to your entire body including your face, hands, neck, knees, elbows and even un-derarms. Look for multi-benefit products like Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant, which will provide odor and wetness protection as well as moisturizers to keep your underarms
Winter Skincare Tips
- 91 -2016. January www.athleisuremag.com
On cloudy days when we don’t see the sun, it’s important to pro-tect your skin against harmful rays as UVA and UVB penetrate clouds! All year, you should wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or more. AM: What should the skincare routine be during the winter when you’re maintaining great skin?
DR B: During the winter, take short showers in water that’s not too hot since it can have a dry-ing effect on the skin. Use a gen-tle shower cleanser and follow with moisturizing body and face creams. Areas like your under-arms where many women shave also need to be moisturized, so I like to use Dove Dry Spray Anti-perspirant that has built in mois-turizers in addition to 48 hour odor and wetness protection. As always, for any skin that is ex-posed to the sun, be sure to ap-ply sunscreen.
AM: What products are perfect to use in the winter in colder cli-mates?
DR B: This time of year it’s all about moisturizers and pro-tectants, and you can often find multi-benefit products that can do both. Everything from mois-turizing lip balms and cleansers to face creams with SPF to anti-perspirants that provide mois-turizers for softer, smoother un-derarms.
AM: Are there certain ingredi-ents that we should aim to in-clude within our routine for op-timal skin?
DR B: As mentioned, look for multi-benefit products that em-phasize the inclusion of mois-turizers and protectants. Other products that are great for your skin are plant-based oils such as avocado, primrose and almond. These oils sink into your skin to keep you hydrated longer.
Never be exclusionary with your skin care routine ... that means ... attention to your entire body
soft and smooth. Face creams with SPF and moisturizing body washes are also great for a sim-plified routine.
AM: How do you know when your skin has been affected by extreme temperatures?
DR B: You can tell your skin has been affected by cold tempera-tures when chaffing occurs, or when it appears burnt, flaky or
ashy. This can sometimes lead to itchy skin, which I call “winter itch.”
AM: How important is SPF in the winter especially on days when we don’t see the sun?
DR B: SPF is extremely import-ant in the winter! During the colder season, the ozone layer is thinner, which can increase the damaging effects of the sun.
