Haute Workout Couture

Posted by: Raylene Bartolacci on May 13th, 2010

I am a firm believer that beauty must suffer, but I leave that motto behind upon entering the gym; however, you will not catch me in raggedy old sweats and a freebie t-shirt. We all know that when we look good we feel good. [...read more]

Haute Restaurant Choices

Posted by: Raylene Bartolacci on April 14th, 2010

Plain and simple, Diets stink and that is why I do not believe in them. I believe in the choice of a healthy lifestyle, which is not that trying of an obstacle to overcome, but it requires changes and smart decisions. The only way to truly stay healthy and keep weight off is to change your life by eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, taking your vitamins, getting plenty of sleep and daily exercise.

Electronic Cigarettes Are Full Of Haute Air

Posted by: Raylene Bartolacci on March 31st, 2010

Taurine: Haute or Not?

Posted by: Raylene Bartolacci on March 24th, 2010

Taurine, it sounds like an astrological sign or the name of a rock band, but what if I told you it is the key ingredient in the majority of energy drinks on the market? It is because of this synthetic chemical compound mixed with numerous other ingredients such as caffeine, normally in the form of guarana or yerba mate, that you the consumer will feel the euphoric effects of this stimulant. What I like to call the peaks and valleys of an energy drink. [...read more]

The Secret to a Haute Swimsuit Season

Posted by: Raylene Bartolacci on March 17th, 2010

Springing forward on the clocks always signifies that swimsuit season is just around the corner, which means that we will soon find ourselves staring into the mirror under ghastly florescent lights that are unforgiving in highlighting flaws. We have all been there, year after year, without exception. Not again, I said. This year will be different. Now when I stare into the mirror, I count my lucky stars that I have found the secret for instant gratification, and no I am not talking about a spray tan. [...read more]

Haute Summer Body

Posted by: Rachel Heller on March 14th, 2010

The spring is almost here. It’s time to put away your skis and dust off your favorite bikini. If you’re like so many who took advantage of the season of over sized sweaters and coats, you may have donned a bit more than just ski equipment during the winter months. Between all the hot chocolate, winter meals, and holiday parties it's almost impossible to retain your summer figure. [...read more]

Posted by: Susan Michals on March 12th, 2010

On March 10, Cristophe Salon in Beverly Hills hosted a swanky cocktail party, beauty drive, and silent auction at their Beverly Hills Salon to help raise funds for the heart transplant and recovery of “Mad Men” actor Edin Gali’s 17-year old cousin, Alma Hadzic.
